Imagine there's no instrumentation; it's easy if you try listening to this veteran a cappella quartet's strictly vocal take on the Fab catalog. It's interesting hearing which tunes best translate into doo-wop (''Oh! Darling''). But the ones that are more of a stretch (''The Ballad of John and Yoko''?) start to grate, rendering this an okay novelty most Beatlemaniacs will quickly put on the shelf alongside the barking-dogs album.
