"You hear the intro - it's "I Saw Her Standing There" - but wait - it leads into "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"! Or is that "Eight Days a Week"? No it's not, it's "Let It Snow"! This concept has the potential for cheesiness, but instead it achieves its goal of "How would traditional Christmas songs sound if the Beatles got their hands on them?" with amazing talent and accuracy. You'll find yourself listening to this album in January, February, March . . . you won't be able to hear Christmas songs quite the same way again! Each song is re-created in Beatles style by The Fab Four, one of the premiere Beatles tribute bands in the U.S. But you'll swear it's John Lennon singing "Away In A Manger" or George Harrison singing "What Child Is This?" Extremely clever and extremely well done."
Fantastic holiday music

"Someone is a genius to come up with this idea. And it is done perfectly. Music is dead on recreation of the Beatles sound. You'd swear it was Paul and John singing. Perfect for your musician friends. = )"
The Fab Four should earn a Fab award!!!!

"I give the Fab Four a 5 star rating because it is a cd that you can listen to after Christmas!!! Great twist on the Christmas classics and a great twist on the Beatles classics!!!"

"a REAL Beatle's Christmas album, this will have to do. It's fun to hear "Hark" instead of "Help" as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is sung to the tune "Help". Or the acoustic intro of "Norwegian Wood" leading into "Away in A Manger". Did I think it was the Beatles? No. The instrumentation is pretty close to the boys, the vocals vary. The harmonies are good, "Paul" and "John" aren't far off the mark, while "Ringo" sounds like someone trying hard to sound like Ringo. But overall, it's fun!! And like I said, since we'll never get a real Beatle's Christmas album, this will have to do."
A fabulous christmas
