Talk is Cheap -- not at $ a clip it ain't

"Interviews are O.K. However, two hours worth is a little too much. The four "musical" tracks featured on this CD are very old, pre-Ed Sullivan Beatles songs. Although I am glad that Pete Best is getting some recognition. Let's face it, the very early Beatles weren't the musical giants they turned out to be in 1964, and afterwards. The early Beatles were crude and rough, just learning their "chops." This "interview CD" is also a bit contradictory. The title is "Savage Young Beatles." However, Disc 2 features one of the last interviews that John and Yoko conducted. This is very misleading. Talk is fine. But, I would like to have a little more singing from the best band in history. I would definitely avoid this CD -- unless you are an absolute Beatles fanatic who needs to own everything with their name on it. Then again, if this is the case, you wouldn't care what I have to say; you will buy it anyway."
