THE SMITHEREENS B-Sides The Beatles (2008 UK 12-track CD album - It's no secret that The Smithereens grew up listening to The Beatles, their album 'Meet The Smithereens' paid homage to the group's landmark Capitol debut album by lovingly re-recording 'Meet The Beatles' in its entirety. This time, The Smithereens have dug through their treasure of early Beatles singles and selected a dozen of Beatles B-Sides; and their respectful treatment of these B-sides from 1964 and early 1965 re-enforces what we knew all along—The Beatles B-sides were better than most of the A-sides released by other artists.)
