"...when in life you thought you had heard it all" THE SERIES!

Now, despite the efforts and tireless commitment I generously put forth to maintain the level of this site at a certain *height*, I must - much to my chagrin - acknowledge how often such work is belittled by the constant loitering of individuals of low (and often very low...) intellectual caliber and even lesser musical competence on these virtual shores, and I do not wish to name names...
Well, I can already imagine some of these "characters" dismissing this album as a "simple" cover (which, by the way, is rather poorly executed) of the Beatles, as there are many...
BUT NO!
There is moooolto more here! Klaus Beyer does not reinterpret the Beatles: HE REINVENTS THEM!
He started in the '80s by translating their songs to make them understandable for his mother, then began using two reel-to-reel tape recorders to cut non-vocal loops from the band's music to use as backing tapes for his German versions. In Germany, he is a bit of a legend, having been introduced to the "scene" of "Geniale Dilletanten" alongside people like Die Tödliche Doris, Einstürzende Neubauten, Frieder Butzmann, etc., with some of whom he has even shared the stage.
He is still active today, primarily with concerts.
