"LOVE" - The Beatles

[daddytodd]

What does anyone else think of George & Giles Martin's mash-up CD, built entirely of Beatles bits?

Personally, I'm not very impressed. I'd rather hear proper mash-ups, or proper remixed/remastered Beatles. This artifact bears similarities to both, but is actually neither.

I've heard it a couple of times. It's really just like listening to someone's mixed tape, with slicker editting and some alternate takes. It just seemed like another way to release the same material.

I guess I'm just a purist, but I'd rather just hear the original songs!

Teh reissue of David Crosby's first solo album, "If I Could Only Remember My Name..." which I also acquired yesterday, is simply AMAZING!

THAT is how reissues should be done. Apple Records, pay attention and do right by The Beatles. Finally.

That doesn't impress me much either, I would much rather listen to the original songs, what was wrong with the original songs?

It is the only thing that makes me leary of going to Vegas and seeing Cirque De Soliel's "LOVE" is that they tamper too badly to the music, or even use that new "interpretation"....

its time to hunt for the soundtrack if they release one. Smoke out (my 5 days of holiday in Vegas) is in April.

Tickets now. Airline Tickets Now.

The recording I referred to IS the "soundtrack" to the Cirque du Soleil show... Some freinds saw the show ober Thanksgiving and REALLY liked it. I'm kinda more interested in seeing that show than in just listening to the CD.
