NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 7, 2006 -- KOCH
Records announces the release of "Meet The
Smithereens!," the new album by New Jersey's The
Smithereens in January 2007. Paying homage to The
Beatles' groundbreaking album, "Meet The Beatles!,"
the Smithereens have rerecorded the album in its
entirety, and the result is a fun and nostalgic trip
through 12 classic songs done Smithereens style. The
CD also features liner notes by legendary promoter Sid
Bernstein, musician (and some would say musicologist)
Lenny Kaye, Beatles historians Bruce Spizer, Dennis
Mitchell and Andy Babiuk, author of the fantastic
book, "Beatles Gear."
Having released 7 albums -- and reaching Gold and
Platinum status along the way -- during their career,
the Smithereens spawned several Top 40 radio hits,
including, "A Girl Like You," "Too Much Passion,"
"Blood and Roses" and more.
The Smithereens return with an affectionate tribute to
one of their favorite bands, The Beatles. "Meet The
Beatles!" influenced not only their musical style, but
arguably influenced the style of every rock band since
the album's initial release in January of 1964.
"Meet The Beatles!" was the Fab Four's second album,
but their first official U.S. release. But unlike its
British counterpart "With The Beatles!," which was
comprised mostly of cover songs, "Meet the Beatles!"
featured songs written by John Lennon and Paul
McCartney, and proved to be mind-shattering to music
fans in an age in which artists rarely wrote their own
material.
Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken says, "'Meet the
Beatles!' was a call to arms to an army of
musically-inclined kids across the nation. There was
no turning back after hearing this LP and seeing the
Beatles on the 'Ed Sullivan Show.' We were instantly
hipped to the fact that there can never be anything
cooler than playing in a rock n roll band."
The tracklisting:
1. I Want to Hold Your Hand 7. Don't
Bother Me
2. I Saw Her Standing There 8. Little
Child
3. This Boy 9. 'Till
There Was You
4. It Won't Be Long 10. Hold
Me Tight
5. All I've Got To Do 11. I
Wanna Be Your Man
6. All My Lovin' 12. Not A
Second Time
