The Smithereens Biography
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, the Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. Lead singer/songwriter Pat DiNizio stood out not only with his stran...Full The Smithereens Biography

Pros: 12 Classic Beatles songs re-recorded by 4 of thier biggest fans
Cons: Meet The Beatles wasn't a longer album, and neither is this.
On first hearing the idea of re-recording any album by the Beatles, one would think, "Why Bother?". But, on first listening to New Jersey's own Smithereens take on the The Beatles first Capitol Records release, it's easy to see why they bothered. "Meet The Smithereens" is a lovingly recorded tribute to the "Meet The Beatles" album. When you listen to the Smithereens versions of these songs, the first thought that comes to mind is that the songs don't sound like a band trying to sound like the Beatles. They sound like The Smithereens. Drummer Dennis Diken, & bassist Severo "The Thrilla" Jornacion have faithfully & accurately reproduced the lines, licks and fills that Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr laid down back in 1964. Pat DiNizio's vocals sound as youthful & energetic as both The Beatles did originally, and as HE sounded on "Especially For You" in 1986. In addition, this album features the first-ever (on a full Smithereens album) vocal performances of Jim Babjak on "Don't Bother Me" and Dennis Diken on "I Wanna Be Your Man".
The album art features great liner notes from noted Beatles Historian, Bruce Spizer, as well as Dennis Diken, Beatles Concert promoter Sid Bernstein, and others.
If you are a fan of The Beatles, or The Smithereens, or both, Meet The Smithereens is a MUST-HAVE for your CD Collection. Don't hesitate to MEET THE SMITHEREENS, again! ...
