Beats!!!!

We laughed when we heard the Ruttles and Spinal Tap singing fake Beatle songs, but this is for real. Beatlemania was so big back in the 60's that it spun off dozens of cheap imitations like this one. With an album jacket screaming "Beats!!! The Merseyside Sound! The New Beat from Britain!" and four guys trying to look like the Beatles, the only thing this album is missing is actual Beatle music.

Were Beatle fans so stupid that they didn't realize they were being taken? Or were records like this aimed at their parents, who weren't paying enough attention to know the difference? I don't know, but one thing is for sure: the music on "Beats!!!" is just plain awful. Pick up a copy at a thrift store or eBay auction near you and listen for yourself. You'll be thankful that Lennon and McCartney had some actual talent to back up the phenomenon they started.

Thanks Richard Head! Wow, Hodgie was right about you when he said you swallow! (08-03-2004)

This once-proud website is now overrun with morons, bumpkins and other low-life cretins.

He may have been an idiot, but Peanut Head at least added some levity to the situation.

Long live Peanut Head! (08-03-2004)

"Breakfast With the Beatles," hosted by Dennis Mitchell -- the latest show online

Update (7/27/04)

Get a complete rundown of the latest show including the playlist, and the latest news from the incredible Abbeyrd news site. You?ll find lots of fun facts and links on the Mind Games Fun Page.

When The Beatles returned from India in 1968, they recorded a series of undocumented demos, that served as workups for songs to be included on the white album and "Abbey Road." Listen for a sampling of those demos, and a short piece on the really bad movie, "Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Thanks for listening!

Man, this is the best beatles copy I've heard in a long time...the other being the Gants from greenville Mississippi..also very early around 66 maybe? Anyway...the Gants would be a good one to pick up since almost every song they do is a beatles rip off or a song that the beatles covered...they recently had a cd that features all their songs...the coolest thing is seeing them playing Peavey amps(from mississippi) with peavey written in the fender logo (07-02-2004)

The one you need to find is "The Fabulous Beats Go Country Style" - allegedly the same group (although they sing better than these schmoes) doing Beatley arrangements of such country chestnuts as "Let Me Be the One." (06-19-2004)
