Customer Reviews "The King's Singers: Not Well Connected" I have previously found their range and choices of material to be interesting and rewarding. I am someone who has enjoyed The King's Singers for years. This album however, was a disappointment. Their voices did not seem suited to the Beatles music, and the arrangements did not serve The King's Singers or The Beatles well. My suggestion: you may want to skip this one. Beatles A very impressive version of the Beatles songs, again all very tight and professional, a beatle purist should be proud. Beatle Hootenanny However, as far as cover versions go, this one is decent. As an inveterate Beatles' fan, I admit I am very picky when it comes to Beatle covers. The voices harmonize well and, objectively speaking are good. This collection is like a folk hootenanny treatment of the Beatles' classics. The only arrangement I didn't like was "A Hard Day's Night. " I felt it deviated from the standard Beatle format and I also didn't like the tempo of this arrangement. I would have preferred that the background singing on "Help!" had been omitted; I felt it "cluttered" the song. All in all, decent. It is what it is - cover versions of timeless Beatle classics. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" was the best performed song on this collection. If you like folk as I do and you enjoy a good hootenanny as I do, then you might enjoy this one. . .
