The Mailibooz are a long-running project of Walter Egan and John Zambetti. A totally new school look at the old school. The tunes on "Queens` English" feature the authentic British vocal and guitar sound and there is even an instrumental, a salute to The Shadows, called “Venture into the Shadows” with guest artists from The Ventures and The Shadows. That, though, is just the beginning of a long list of guest appearances here - Andrew Loog Oldham, Tony Hicks(The Hollies) and members of The Troggs and The Quarrymen share their talents. The material here is new British Invasion-style songs done....British(and American) Invasion style! "Interestingly, while The Mailibooz may have wanted this album to sound veddy British, it ends up retaining muchmore of an American feel, particularly influenced by The Byrds...but there are some echoes of The Invasion."-Shindig! "The love for the music comes across the waves, a truly bi-coastal joining of hands across the water, harking back to a far more innocent time"- Hits. "The first thing that is noteworthy is that every song on this CD is an original work. Yet each song captures the sounds and feel of the sixtys British invasion. I`m also impressed with the number of big names from that era that came together to help make Queens` English a reality. I strongly urge anyone likes, or wants to find out if they do like British 60`s style music to buy this CD, and read John Zambetti`s romp through each track to see just who helped with what."-CDBaby. "Given their 60`s roots, the sound here is classic British Invasion material, and they manage to pull off the sound without sounding too slavish. They`ve amassed quite a lineup of guest stars on this disc, including *the* Spencer Davis, Andrew Loog Oldham, and ex-Hollie Tony Hicks. It`s one classic-sounding tune another, from the jangly "Hey Love" to the harmonies of "Just a Little Bit" to Egan`s haromnica-fueled rave-up "A Bit of Awright" and the Merseyside pop of "Factory Girl". If your pop proclivities extend to the mid60s Invasion sound, this may well end up your disc of the year."-Absolute Power Pop blog. A must for fans of `63-`66 era British Invasion rock `n roll.
