Good to see it follows the original British tracklisting - you guys got severely short changed with your truncated versions of the early albums.

I think that is cool. SO it is fine for The Breakfast to play "Sgt Peppers" , but if other bands play the Beatles it isn\'t going to be good?? Strange days indeed!

Not really, I mean I think it\'s a neat project but I\'m not gonna buy it. I\'ll stick w/ my favorite band\'s version of a Beatle\'s Classic for my listening pleasure. Unless I\'m listening to the real thing of course!

the musicians do change it up a bit, but it kind of fits with the type or style they play and the songs are so good anyway (and youve heard them so many times) that a different take is cool..

definately would like to hear YMSB\'s take on Think For Yourself.... and who is Ted Leo? I\'m Looking Through You is one of my favorites from this album...

I say that it\'s OK for the Breakfast to play Sgt. Peppers, not release it as an album.

Not that these versions aren\'t good, mind you. I\'m just wary of tribute albums since I picked up Beatles Regrooved. Cool idea, poor execution.

Ben Harper is honestly the only reason I found out about this and one of only a few songs I\'m interested in hearing
