Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Las Comparaciones son Tediosas.......2004-02-07

Comparar esta joya de la musica instrumental con el grupo original The Beatles es al menos una total falta de conocimiento de lo que significa la mýsica, fue realmente hermoso recordar la placa de vinilo original lanzada hace unos 40 aýos atrýs, excelente cd.

1 out of 5 stars Can't miss.......2002-08-24

Two clasics meet. An inovator that kept the big band sound alive and the timeless sounds of the Beatles. Some people will call this elevator music, but if your a big band fan and a Beatles fan this is a can't miss addition.

4 out of 5 stars "Enoch Light tries on The Beatles for size".......2001-05-18

Remember Enoch Light from the '50s and '60s with his laid back mellow style and blend of sophistication ~ Enoch's big label back then was Project 3 and Command Records experimenting with a new sound called "Stereo" ~ arrangements and selections are outstanding in concept, Beatles tunes with an easy listening blend and full spectrum in quality recording from the 1971 collection.

Of course there are stand outs ~ "PENNY LANE", a bouncy tune ~ "NORWEGIAN WOOD", always a favorite ~ "FOOL ON THE HILL", a standby hit, as always ~ "LUCY IN THE SKY (WITH DIAMONDS)", can always hear the words ringing in my head ~ but my all-time favorite is "ELEANOR RIGBY, this arrangement is simply awesome, a perfect fit for an easy listening project anywhere or anytime.

The entire recording is very good ~ just missed a 5 star rating ~ but still worth the price-of-admission ~ good to hear this one-of-a-kind collection from the man who was there when audio was coming into its own ~ ENOCH LIGHT!
