"If any one wants proof of the everly influence on the beatles this cd provides the proof. Amazon needs to hire someone to do correct editorials, if your looking for the greatest hits like cathys clown and bye bye love this isn't the album. What you get here is James Burton, Glen Campbell, and Sonny Curtis; bassist Larry Knechtel; drummer Jim Gordon; Leon Russell,and Billy Preston backing the everlys on there takes of some classics from the 50's and 60's. Man with money alone should have been a hit.Beat and soul was in my opinion one of the best albums the everlys did and certainly the closest thing to straight rock they ever did. a great deal for two albums in one."

This is very golden good rock n roll that I highly recomme

"I have waited 4O years to get these fabulous recordings on cd !

two original albums from early 60's are there + some bonus tracks.a few months after "it's everly time" and "date with the Everly brothers" which were masterpieces here are again past golden recordings by the Evs.inside this set are two original albums r n soul and b n soul.the first is musicaly very good (but unfortunately sound quality is by far under the level of previous warner recordings and that new cd edition does not solve the issue,now we know it came from the original masters unfortunately) while the second deserves more than 5 stars it should be 6 or 7 (amazon please open a new scale !) both for music and sound quality. if you like the evs when they are rocking you'll be jumping on your feet during all tracks : ALL are perfect, the evs voices are very strong dominating a band... but what a band ! it's just dynamite,see the names mentioned above by previous reviewer and that's the dream team !those who saw the evs on stage many times may have seen some "slow" and flying shows (so sad and slepless nights style) or "rocking" shows (both perfect dreams in my mind) and this (B n s) is indeed the rocking side of the everlys in full youth and strength ! rush to buy this double cd set as you won't find these cds available for a long time ! thank you warner uk that you put this box at last on the shelves just before Don and Phil are back for a tour in UK !

And I'll be there dreaming they will sing "man with money" while in Oxford ! Thierry Cordonnier"
