Herb Alpert he ain't!

[nzoz1982]

A good songwriter in his own right he is... shame the cover was his biggest hit

[adehmark]

Yeah, does anyone know? The last time I was in Oz I looked EVERYWHERE and couldn't even find a second hand tape.I adore this album.

[nzoz1982]

I've never spotted a copy of 'Beautiful' and I've spent a lot of time hunting for music.

[esuterik2]

prob one of the best bands australia has ever produced... totally underated...

i use to fall to sleep with this vinyl when i was 3 years old

im 22 now... all the ppl jumping on the electro wagon now should take notice of this band and the church... everything you think your nu age about, this band started it all... have a nice day youtube..

i beleive this song has more feeling than the original, but hey who am i to know ;)

[lumen23]

What a great rendition of this song! Beats anything else I've heard.

Saw the Reels support INXS in Canberra in 84, Dave Mason appeared in a bottle green leather corset, suspenders - the whole bit. Seriously creepy! Wasn't overly impressed with the performance either.

[DKashman]

Great cover, very underrated band, had some good ideas and some good songs, petty we don't praise our own artist here in Australia.

[boychutney]

what a lovely understated version, inspired perhaps by a different sort of herb . . . and a video that ramps up the cheese factor to 11, but done with much love and care.

[beachkombi]

yes at the time of fame his dad was a politician and he received so much publicity,AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WATCH THEM LIVE AT SYDNEY COVE TAVERN ALL OF THOSE YEARS AGO

[tmcontrols]

what was sad about the reels is that they weren't taken to serious,as you can see by the small amount of people who have viewed there songs,these guys had plenty of talent and they were great to listen and dance to,but  could not get that big impact that they really deserved,very underrated.

[flagey12]

@nzoz1982 It was a deliberate statement on the commercialisation of the music industry wasn't it?
