The Easy Star All-Stars have an impressive history of taking classic records and re-recording them in a reggae-style (not simply that, but in every style of reggae from ska through to dancehall), and this project is no exception. Each and every track from the Beatles' classic "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has been painstakingly deconstructed and then reconstructed before being put back together in the right order from the opening orchestral warm-up to the mock run-out groove at the conclusion of a very interesting ride. And it is a ride.
Along for that ride are, as with the first two re-imaginings, many of the reggae world's finest vocalists and musicians. On "Easy Star's..." (which annoyingly, but expectedly doesn't work as well as an abbreviated title as "Sgt. Pepper's..." does) a veritable who's-who of reggae including Luciano, Daddy U-Roy, Max Romeo, Michael Rose and Frankie Paul lend their considerable and historical vocal skills while Steel Pulse and The Mighty Diamonds appear to lend their weight to the project. A collection of such greats should make this an album worthy of your hard-earned money before you even consider the challenge they have all undertaken.
