The Beatles canon needed this treatment like the Sistine Chapel needs a do-over. That said, I will make the Vegas pilgrimage and experience first hand what promises to be a wow at worst and most likely a revelation. Good to have the boys back in the conscious mainstream.

Fellini once said that he believed this, about music and musicians;
Music is fluid, and it is an invisible stream that runs throughout a defined area in space, in fact right before your very eyes. We, the everyday lovers of Music, can hear it in pieces, and know that it is there, but we cannot see it, change it, direct it, or organize it. It remains flowing and the musician sticks his hand out and with a digit drags a piece of the flow towards him. This then runs in a spiral around the musician and becomes a song. When he touches and directs the flow then we can hear it completely.
This is what differentiates a musician from the rest of us. This song, by arguably 4 of the best around regardless, is as good as any of their songs in original format jacked-up whatever.....slow down, listen & get over the negativity....they were next to God.


Wow. Very nice.

I have to agree with you. The albums they created were cohesive jems. Just about all of their songs were outstanding. But when they created their albums there was a creative synergy.

For a while, I thought my media player was accidentally receiving two audio feeds. This is stupid.

These all are not good. And just because Mr. Martin may have "rights" as the producer to do this, doesn't mean should. (he shouldn't have) He's only trying to make some more money. There's nothing soulful or artistic in these.

Even John was growing away from the Beatles legacy: in his Playboy interview just before his death he misidentified this song as ''Green Onion.'' Remember what he sang: ''I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles.''

Good golly, this album is getting a lot of play on RP. I have virtually no place in my heart for the Beatles, so I'm not as upset as some people seem to be about the remixes...I'm just getting sick of hearing them every two hours.

I also like the perspective and newly mashed tracks on Love.

Ugh, it's like a 'best of' for people who don't want to take the time to really enjoy the music. "Quick, lets just do the famous toe-tapping lines."

Please, shelve this crap.

I like the Mr Kite and Tomorrow Never Knows segments best. On the whole I find Love a really cool way to get another perspective on some old favorites.

I dunno...it's easy to slam but my take on Love is that, at worst, it's interesting.

Most of the tracks go together pretty well and a few of them are basically just straight remixes - in those cases (IMHO) the songs sound better than the originals. I don't know if it's the chance to go back to the masters with modern technology or the fact that the other Beatle CDs we have were mastered with 1980s technology but it's a great sounding album.

And (IMHO) one that any "true blue" Beatle fan can have in their collection with no shame whatsoever.
