 Brilliant!! Nov 07, 2009
I don't particularly like reggae and I didn't think I'd like this at all. In fact, I didn't want to like it because my iPod is already overflowing. But I absolutely loved every track. No kidding, every single track. Some tracks were, (dare I say it?), an improvement over the Beatles originals; quite a statement from someone who has all of the Beatles on vinyl, CD and the remastered mono box set. Every song from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band through A Day In The Life adds fresh ideas, spot on vocals, and great electronic sound effects to this timeless Beatles classic. This is a very hard thing to do and no one has ever done it better. Cheap Trick made an uninspired attempt to basically copy the album in August 2009 (just a few months after this was released) and their effort was a cheap trick. There was also the Sgt. Pepper's movie of 1978 in which the Sgt. Pepper's songs were interleaved with other Beatles songs, but they passed on Within You Without You. Both the movie and the soundtrack were drivel. I love the Bee Gees, but they should stick to singing their own songs. I never liked the Beatles' own versions of their songs She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, and When I'm Sixty-Four, but the fresh new renditions by the Easy Star All-Stars turned me around on those songs. Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! is a vast improvement over the original and the song will finally be welcome on my iPod. The extended psychedelic endings for Fixing A Hole and When I'm Sixty-Four are very cool and tasteful. The female vocals and heavy reggae beat for She's Leaving Home are just what this song needed to give it what it was missing--soul. Within You Without you is made much more interesting by combining sitar and tabla with a rock/reggae beat.
I don't give many 5-star ratings and this one is well-deserved.

A fun CD! Nov 04, 2009
Given that Sgt Pepper's is one of the most original and creative LP's of all time, I was really curious how these guys would approach this material - and I loved it! I like their own take on the music, there's a slight change in lyrics here and there (fits perfectly) and the reggae treatment of the music works well for almost every song. I really love what they did with "Within You Without You". A couple selections are a bit weak, and don't make the transition quite so well, but overall a fun, enjoyable listen.

dubs enduring resonance Nov 02, 2009
I listened to the beatles original "sgt peppers lonely hearts club band" cd for a few days before purchasing this cd.I wanted to see if it still held the same attraction it did years ago when at the time of it's release it was a ground breaking departure from the music of it's time.There's no doubt,it is still a masterfull piece of musicianship with sounds so diverse but yet intertwined seemingly as if meant to be a modern operatic piece.Now along comes "easy star all stars" to add another dimension to this music which enhances but in no way detracts from the original.If like me you like the resonance of the dub genre in all it's various forms,give this a listen,you won't be disappointed.The artists who collaborate on this cd are as diverse within the dub genre as is the music on the cd.You have artists from the early 70's dub era to the present weaving their dread magic into the mix & taking the vibe to another level, from psychedelic pop into rasta consciousness.It flows beautifully,pleasant to the ear & if dubs your thing,it's as essential a part of your music collection as the original "sgt peppers".
Better Than the Original Sep 17, 2009
If the Beatles would have come out with this originally, it would still be in the #1 spot. The Pink Floyd and Radiohead reggae versions are excellent, but this one is over the top. All the songs came through so effortlessly.

Otro buen disco a la lista Aug 13, 2009
Podrán decir que es pan con lo mismo, que este disco es el peorcito que han presentado, que ya no saben ni qué inventar o que cómo se atreven a violentar uno de los más grandes íconos del pop y del álbum conceptual. Pero hablando en términos objetivos y basados en el tributo per se; la verdad es que es un delicioso paseo a través del clásico que inmortalizaran The Beatles, a un ritmo cadencioso que nunca aburre y con colaboraciones de lujo como Frankie Paul, Steel Pulse o Matisyahu.
Olviden los tributos anteriores, no busquen comparaciones, entreguense a la buena vibra de esta placota y tal vez coincidan con mis "finalmente" cuatro asteriscos... Si está bueno.
