Lesser imitations of the early
Beatles aren't hard to find, but it's much tougher to locate diligent imitators of the group's late-'60s sound. Here is one unheralded example, offeringa collection of mid-tempo, accessible late-'60s rock sung by a vocalist with a remarkable resemblance to
John Lennon. But the songs, while not bad, are really unmemorable once the record's finished, making this more of an oddity than something to avidly seek. The CD reissue on Arf! Arf! adds a dozen previously unreleased acoustic demos by leader and songwriter John Pollano, mixing different versions of songs from the album with compositions that didn't make it onto the LP; these make his fixation with
John Lennon '67-68 sound even clearer.
