Title: Why?
Review: This is a note for note reproduction of some 60's classics. If you like the songs, listen to the originals! To Matthew Sweet: why? There is no reason for this CD. Here are to fine guitarists, Richard Lloyd (formerly of Television)and Sweet and they could not put their own spin on the songs? The Zombies' Care of Cell #44 is really in need of an updated arrangement. The only value is playing this CD along with Joan Jett's [ASIN] The Hit List at a party to make your guests think they fell into an alternate universe. That said, Susanna Hoffs is a fine singer and does justice to the Velvet's Sunday Morning. If one song is worth the price of the CD, it is that song. Then again, Sweet's background vocals on the Fairport Conventions' Who Knows Where The Time Goes? really ruins the song.
Is the review positive or negative?
