Review

The Smithereens showed a lot of growth in their sound, thanks to playing around the New Jersey area as well as serving as the backing band for Otis Blackwell. The disc showed off their developing "Beatles meets AC/DC" style, particularly in the title track, an homage to The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows."

The Beauty and Sadness EP received a four-star rating from Rolling Stone magazine.
