Just listening to this (it's officially released on Monday, but I found a copy early)

It's been re-mixed from the original multi track tapes by Giles Martin (George Martin's son) with the permission (and encouragement) of the surviving Beatles and the estates of John and George.

Conceived as the backing tracks for the Vegas Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage, this takes around 30 tracks from the back catalogue and remixes them together (the vox from Within You Without You to the Backing Track of Tomorrow Never Knows, for example).

It sounds a little cheesy as a concept, bt it is stuningly well executed - I can see this being the most given Christmas Present all over the world this year.

Get yourself a copy.

Now.

What?

You're still here.

You should be on the way to the CD store.

Go.

GO!

It's about 78 minutes, but there's a 5.1 mix on DVD that comes in the special 2 disc edition.

I've not got a full surround system, but by all accounts it's bloody briliant.

nice where you find that copy

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Quite a lot of records are officially loaded for streaming listening before their formal release date - look at places like AOL Music, MP3.com or just Google "legal CD downloads" or "free music streams".

After watching the actual show in Vegas, I got myself a copy of the soundtrack as soon as it was released. It's really awesome to have the soundtrack, but nothing can ever top seeing the performance in person. Each seat in the theater is pimped out with speakers so that you're acoustically surrounded by the Beatles. It's absolutely incredible. Every Beatles fan should make a pilgramage to Vegas to see this show, totally worth it.

Here's the scoop I got this morning from Sirius. According to one of their DJ's, he read in BeatleFan Magazine that the entire Beatle catalogue will be remixed and rereleased beginning this year, 2007. Back in 1987, when the catalogue was first released on CD, the mixing capabilities were minimal, therefore the CD's have needed major upgrading in the past 20 years. With the success of Let It Be Naked and Love, they plan to honor the 20th anniversary by remixing and upgrading everything - including the original liner notes.

I'm jacked.

For a sample of what I'm talking about, go back and compare the CD version of Across the Universe from Let It Be and Let It Be Naked. The latter version is SO MUCH more rich and with so much more depth and warmth to the sound.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Did you sing it>?

The Beatles is always The Beatles

Who is older The Beatles or The Clash Band?
You may find story of Joe Strummer The Future is Unwritten..

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
