Isn't this the one that they were going to put out in 5.1?

APPLE CORPS LTD/EMI MUSIC PROUDLY ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF 'LOVE', THE NEW CD FROM

THE BEATLES - DUE NOVEMBER 2006

Apple Corps Ltd/EMI Music proudly announces the release of LOVE, the new CD from The Beatles, due November 2006.

After being asked by the remaining Beatles, Ringo and Paul, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, to make experimental mixes from the original master tapes for a collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Sir George Martin, The Beatles legendary producer, and his son Giles Martin have been working with the entire archive of Beatles recordings to create LOVE.

The result is an unprecedented approach to the music. Using the master tapes at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, Sir George and Giles have created a unique soundscape. The release of this album, which is also featured in the Cirque Du Soleil/Beatles collaborative production of the same name at the Mirage in Las Vegas, has been much anticipated.

"This music was designed for the LOVE show in Las Vegas but in doing so we've created a new Beatles album" said Sir George. "The Beatles always looked for other ways of expressing themselves and this is another step forward for them."

Giles continues, "We took all the Beatles catalogue from tape, the original four tracks, eight tracks and two tracks and used this palette of sounds and music to create a sound bed. What people will be hearing on the album is a new experience, a way of re-living the whole Beatles musical lifespan in a very condensed period"

The album will be released worldwide in November 2006. Additional information, including a track listing will be available shortly.

Should be an interesting compilation.

I saw a show of some sort on TV about this "Love" show, and I found the new mixes a little strange and off-putting. While I recognise and value George's contribution to the music of The Beatles, I'm not sure he should be speaking for them and creating "new music" without their input. All of them, which is obviously impossible. I think the "old" music was fine the way it was, and should probably be left alone.

I saw the show "Love" in Las Vegas back in August. The music was fabulous. I wanted this CD then. I want it now. I guess I'll wait until Nov. 6th. You'll change your mind once you hear it.

BTW, George was the one who was friends with the Cirque de Soleil guy. He got the ball rolling, too bad he wasn't here to see the finished product. I think he would have been proud.

Cirque de Soleil = CHEESE
(well produced cheese is still cheese...right, Celine?)

The actual album...well, we'll have to see, but any "new" Beatles' release is always a moment to savour.

And, as Apple well knows, Beatles fans are suckers.

I should know...I'm one of those suckers.

Yeah (yeah, yeah) I saw the Love show in Vegas last week. I loved the music. I didn't care too much for the dancing etc. But "Within You Without You" vocals over "Tomorrow Never Knows" backing was one of my favourites!! I'd love (no pun intended

) a copy of the cd too!!!

Now that sounds interesting.

Graham knows what I'm talking about!

George Martin WAS the fifth Beatle (maybe the FIRST...), so why shouldn't we all welcome anything he wants to add to the original work?

Bravo, Sir George...without you, we'd have nothing now to listen to but vague "yeah, yeahs" heard dimly through the cacophony of screaming teens...(well, you and Owsley...)

I figured somebody would bring up the fifth Beatle thing. Again, I highly value GM's contributions, but the "fifth Beatle" thing was just an expression. A producer can certainly make a good record, but the songwriting and performing talent has to be there. My point was, there were really only the four lads, and any "new" music would have to come from all of them. And as George Harrison once said when asked about a potential Beatles reunion, "I don't think there's much chance of that as long as John remains dead". Or words to that effect. Not to be unkind, but I think the Beatles would have done just about as well, if not as well, with another producer, but I doubt we'd have heard of GM without the Beatles. English comedy records aside.

I respectfully disagree. I think GM was an important part that, if he had not fallen into place, as had so many others, things would not be as they are today.

Kismet!

No disrespect taken. You've kind of confirmed what I was trying to say: The phenomenon we all remember as The Beatles was a product of many factors: the lads themselves, the times, the social situation, the producer, the studio, the songs, etc., all of which came together perfectly to be "greater than the sum of the parts." But that combination is gone, sadly.

Everything has its time. The Beatles broke up at the right time. That way, we're here in 2006 still debating the merits of all things Fab.

They left us wanting more.

While the Rolling Stones make tons of money limping through life.

There is a shelf-life for every great band. Unfortunately, many won't turn over to check their rear-end for that information.

What I don't understand is why we are being offered a remix of Beatle songs but still no DVD release (or any other authorized, official release) of the Let it Be movie. All the outtakes, etc., etc. that have been released, but this movie, with the last live performances by the Beatles, is out of print and, despite repeated rumors, some of which would have had the movie released already, there is no confirmed release date (or, as far as I know, no news that the movie is even being considered for DVD release).

Now 35+ years since the original theatre release of the Let It Be movie, if the owners of the movie want to wait another 35 years, then there probably won't be many people left who will even care.

Whatever.

I'm for anything that saves me a trip to Vegas.

>>I respectfully disagree. I think GM was an important part that, if he had not fallen into place, as had so many others, things would not be as they are today. <<

Including the fact that he seems to be the only one in the world who wanted to sign them.

HIs contributions were massive. Imagine MMT without the fabulous horn arrangements, I Am the Walrus without the strings and hired gun singers, etc., etc., etc.
