Review by Joe Viglione

This addition to Chrome Dreams "Under Review" series takes a different sort of path, elegantly packaged with the "Under Review" moniker missing. The six page slick cardboard fold-out DVD case is elegantly produced making this appear to be a documentary totally separate from the succession of films Chrome Dreams has become known for. It is exactly the same format with some of the same guests, however, the subject matter being of such importance - the publishing catalog of John Lennon and Paul McCartney - gives the panel of experts distinction and credibility as they give their opinions on the most important compositions in pop music history. Not a bad idea for a documentary and produced as professionally as other entries in the Chrome Dreams catalog. No director is credited.
