THE BEATNIX - IT'S FOUR YOU (1994)
The Beatnix was an australian band that had been formed by the manager of the group, Tony Dean, in 1980. It had many different members in it's first 10 years. Steven Shipley (McCartney), David Wood (Harrison) & John Taylor (Ringo) joined The Beatnix in the late 1980's, and Bruce Coble (Lennon) completed that line-up by joining in May 1990. The coming together of this particular line-up of the group coincided with a unique moment in Australia's musical history, when tribute bands first began gaining a much higher profile than ever before. In 1994, they recorded an album for Glenn A Baker's label Raven Records titled "It's Four You", which was an album of the 19 songs written by Lennon/McCartney that had not been officially released by The Beatles.
The album has reached cult status (bootlegged in Asia with a Beatles sleeve) or songs repackaged as The Beatles, much to the consternation of Beatles-fans world-wide. The original official edition is quite hard to find.
