  • Sincerest form of flattery
    author: Richard Astley-Clemas

    The last decade of the 20th century didn't as much produce any great innovations in music though people who like rap and remix music may beg to differ. Instead it produced the Tribute Album nowadays almost matter of fact but in the beginning the tributes simply came from session musicians who just did a job and they were only tributes if the album title said so. Now its nearly a genre in itself as its not only known names who make them but Indie acts-the bands who sprang up after the punk onslaught and had been influenced by the Beatles and the British Invasion. Here is a collection of unknown Indie acts from the States with a tribute to George Harrison,songs from his Beatles days (11) and songs from the solo years,mainly the earliest ones-4 are from the first album.The later song When we was Fab probably inspired the CD title and like a few others on here is sung by a girl who appeared once in Liverpool and has the unbelievable name of Wendy Ip!

  • author: Hidden Tracks CD reviews published in SA Life magazine, Adelaide

    Tribute albums can be the sincerest form of flattery, though many prove to be sadly disappointing, failing to add to the magic of the original recordings. The death of George Harrison ‘The quiet Beatle’ shocked many in the pop world and it is no surprise that a Harrison tribute CD is now available. He Was Fab A Loving Tribute to George Harrison is musically refreshing as it is not the expected collection of big name artists imposing their slant on Harrison’s well loved back catalogue. Tim Anthony, the New York musician and producer, carefully selected young Indie pop artists to give their personal interpretations of 19 classic Harrison songs. Anthony’s love and affection for this music shows in these fresh versions of old songs seen through young eyes. Every artist and track on He Was Fab is exceptional. Harrison’s musical career is fully documented with such numbers as My Sweet Lord, the first track by any of the former Beatles to reach the top of the charts, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes The Sun, plus I Need You and You Like Me Too Much from the album Help. This collection was created with great devotion and respect for these songs which have been given refreshingly new treatments without losing the famous Rickenbacker guitars or the original spirit of the songs. They deserve to be heard by a wide audience.

  • Best Tribute CD ever.
    author: ringostarrfan@yahoo.com

    I usually don't like tribute CD's, but this one was recommended to me and I am so glad I didn't miss out on it. You can tell the artists admired George by the way they sing and play his music. A must have for any George fan. Thanks you for making this CD!

  • FAB CD for a FAB Musician!
    author: Marwa Blue

    This is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. Timeless interpretations of the music of a timeless artist. If you love George and his music, you gotta have it...

  • Fresh, brilliant interpretations. A must-have.
    author: Don B.

    These are great tribute tracks that neither deviate too wildly from the original versions nor slavishly imitate them. They are fresh, brilliant interpretations that are highly enjoyable and will re-ignite your passion for Harrison songs. A great selection of tunes, cleverly and impeccably performed - everything a tribute album should be. A must-have.

  • The Greatest By George!
    author: Will Grega (Stereotonic)

    Great great great! Powerpop plus plus! I cannot get it off my stereo. Bless you guys for putting together a fitting tribute and bringing new energy to the music of the Quiet Beatle!

  • FAB! FAB! FAB!
    author: Al Paschall

    Fantastic interpretations of the originals. You can tell there is lots of love for George in the artists performing these songs. All cuts are great. Buy it now before you wish you had!

  • great, great, great
    author: Ruth

    Cool rocking Songs of George - I love this man.

  • This CD is Fab and More...
    author: Steve

    BUY THIS CD! This is destined to be one of those that goes out of print and everyone wonders why they didn't buy it and why it's going for $50 on eBay. There isn't a bad cut on the CD. Some of the ones that caught my attention are Phil Angotti's "Here Comes the Sun," Wendy Ip's "When We Was Fab," and the Marlowes' "Old Brown Shoe."
