Neatbeats – Operation The Beat

Here comes another hit-record by Japan’s kings of 60’s beat-music, THE NEATBEATS: “Operation The Beat”. As usual you can expect some fine mid-sixties sound with wild guitars, Merseybeat harmonies, a twistin’ beat and a lot of fun. This time, you get a lot of NEATBEATS’ originals with mostly Japanese vocals. Their elaborate songwriting and authentic vintage recording add up to their fabulous signature-sound, that we know and love from their previous records. Whether it is wild instrumentals like “Winkle Picker” or fun dancin’ tunes like “It’s My Friday” or “Sweet Cherry Pie” – you definitely won’t sit still listening to these songs. Of course, you also get a few of their brilliant cover versions of 50s/60s classics again, such as THE SORROWS’ “You’ve Got What I Want”, the ballad “You Don’t Care” (originally by ARTHUR ALEXANDER), the rock’n’roll-tune “Git It” by BOB KELLY AND THE PIKES or the classic “One Fine Day”, best known by THE CHIFFONS.
