█▓▓░▓▓▓▓█ █▓▓█ │ Tribute albums are a dime a dozen, but Lost │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Songs of Lennon & McCartney improves on the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ concept. Where most tributes simply recycle │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ familiar material in familiar ways (or in │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ strained reinterpretations of the songs), │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ this focuses on 17 songs that John Lennon and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Paul McCartney wrote but gave to other │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ artists, or never officially released as │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Beatles songs. Most of this material is from │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the peak of Beatlemania ù although "Come and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Get It" does pop up toward the end of the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ record ù and to be frank, as songs, they're │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ not as good as what the Beatles released │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ during 1963-1964, though there are some │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ charming tunes along the way, including "Bad │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ to Me," the one song that could have been a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Beatles B-side without much problem. Still, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ if anybody has affection for the Beatles ù │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ and it's the rare pop fan that doesn't ù it's │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ fascinating listening to hear these songs, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ since it's possible to hear Lennon and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ McCartney really work at songwriting on these │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ lesser numbers. These revelations are │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ better-heard on the versions released during │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the British Invasion, where the sound and the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ production are closer to the Beatles, but │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ here, the songs sound interesting because the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ songs breathe more and follow arrangements │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ that don't mimic the Fabs. This is for better │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ and for worse, since some of the arrangements │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ are either a little too earnest, or in the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ case of those performed by Johnny Society │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ (the one group of unknowns here), too │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ leadenly rockist, sinking tunes like "Step │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Inside Love" and "That Means a Lot." But │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ these are minor flaws because the heart of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the album is on tracks made by a core house │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ band featuring guitarist Duke Levine, drummer │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Dave Mattacks, and bassist Paul Bryan, along │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ with Bill Janovitz and Graham Parker, who │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ trade off lead vocals through most of the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ record, with Kate Pierson tackling four │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ others. By keeping the same band for most of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the album, producer Jim Sampas has given this │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ a unity of sound and purpose, so even when │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the record stumbles due to the quality of the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ song, it has a charming, low-key, intimate │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ feel. Sometimes, the record is a little bit │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ too low-key, but that's refreshing compared │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ to splashy, star-studded tributes, especially │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ because there's a real sense of love and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ craft here, which makes this worth hearing. │

│ have become one of the biggest suppliers │ ▀████▀
