 It Must Have Looked Great On Paper December 18, 2008
Mr. Richard D. Coreno (Berea, Ohio USA)
The music industry gimmick in this era of measuring the success of an album due to units shipped - and not sales - makes this 1978 soundtrack appear to be a success, as it did hover for a time in the top ten of the album chart; but it was a staple of cut-out bins for years and a major financial blow to the record label, RSO.
The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton are the featured performers, though there are numerous artists in the 83 minutes of music. Out of the three charted singles on the Billboard Hot 100, Got to Get You Into My Life by Earth, Wind & Fire reached the highest at #9, while Oh! Darling by Robin Gibb peaked at #15 and Get Back by Billy Preston limped in at #86.
The highlights with EW&F are actress Sandy Farina providing an elegant interpretation of Strawberry Field Forever and Aerosmith delivering a sizzling cover of Come Together. But the album sinks due to a greater number of muddling performances like Because by Alice Cooper, Fixing a Hole by George Burns and Maxwell's Silver Hammer by Steve Martin. That Frampton's career as a top recording artist was essentially over may be seen as a bonus by his critics.
On paper, an extravaganza of Beatles music over two albums and featuring some of the monsters of the Billboard charts must have looked like a huge winner. But where EW&F clearly showed the correct musical direction, it was a trail that the project failed to take...and ultimately tanked miserably.

I am a Sgt. Pepper child too. I have the fondest and happiest memories of me going lots of time to the movie theatre to see this flick, conning and tricking every adult that i knew into taking me to see it again. I had the triple casette that was ultimately destroyed by the use and father time. Later I spent month after month monitoring the satellite tv programming hoping that they would have to show the movie again, eventually, which they did more than 10 years later at 4 am. Finally, I got hold of this CD in London in 98. I was soo excited and happy. It sounded great although obviously with a dated 70's sound. The album has some great covers, maybe the best covers of Beatles' songs of all time performed by Aerosmith, EWF, and of course the BeeGees. Peter Frampton vocally was not up to the challenge but his guitar work on almost all the songs he played gave them a unique sound. I am terriblely biased as I loved the movie (which is headed for cult status, just wait and see) and the start of it makes me feel like a kid again, my daughter loves the movie too, and I love the soundtrack, but don't be fooled by all the slamming, it is the work of George Martin and some other great producers, by the same guys that made Saturday Night Fever and Grease to name a few.
 Just Another Review August 17, 2008
Booklover (Hillsboro, MO United States)
I liked this album and the movie. It may not be the best movie ever made, nor was this the best album ever made; however being a fan of the artists who worked on the project I'm a fan. 100%. Yes the movie was cheesy I'll give it that, but who cares.
Personally, I got a kick out of Frampton's face when I asked him to sign my copy of the movie!!! (And YES he's still touring and still KICKS MAJOR @$$ on the guitar!!! The hall of fame honor was long over due!)
But hey, what do I know.... : ) Sure there are people bound to disagree, lets just agree to disagree!
Great Musical July 25, 2008
J. Taylor (Phoenix, AZ)
If you love musicals this is a must have! This is one of the best musical movies ever made, and I don't give this kind of praise lightly. The Bee Gees sing Beatles songs better than The Beatles themselves (forgive me, even though The Beatles were musical geniuses, it is true). Even my youngest (at four years old) is fascinated by this movie and regularly requests to watch it. George Burns narrates and takes you on a pleasant nostalgic trip back in time. With the great array of singers (The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Earth Wind and Fire and so many more) you will be singing and dancing along with the whole movie. Then you have the opportunity to try to name all the famous people in the closing song. I bet you can't name them all! Amazing and Highly Recommended. Enjoy this one.
Not the Beatles, but ....... July 9, 2008
Ol'Moondawg (PA)
Having seen the movie, and being a Beatle's fan, I can see the animosity of people criticizing both the soundtrack and the film. However, this cover of Beatle's music is no worse than the recent covers done in "Across The Universe". Just remember a cover is a cover. There are some songs that didn't work, but for the most part, the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton did very well. I enjoyed Robin Gibb's cover of "Oh Darling" (which plays the full version on the album, but gets cut in the movie for the scene to work) and George Burns' rendition of "Fixing A Hole" (despite the album's editor editting the final 30 second sequence from the song, the full version is in the movie).
The rest of the album is also outstanding with Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" and Earth, Wind, & Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life". Billy Preston's cover of "Get Back" is also worth it's weight. I recommend this CD set on it's cover value and it's placement in pop culture history.
