The Neatbeats - Far And Near



If by chance you dig that Liverpool Sound, you will love the Neatbeats. So what if these guys came along three decades later, they have nailed that sound using vintage equipment. Stylistically they are similar to The Kaisers, but not quite as polished. Far And Near was this Japanese quartets first album,  released in 1998. They cover a lot of Beat standards from the original beat era, on their second album the band would contribute five originals to compliment the covers.
