Just a quick post to say that I just picked up the new Beatles album LOVE produced by George Martin and his son. Holy Moly.... I'm listening to it now and it is freakin glorius! It sounds so clear!! LOVE is the Cirque De Soleli & Beatles show doing the rounds in Vegas at the moment. George Martin was asked to create a soundscape of around 1 and a half hours length using any sound he needed from the original Beatles multi track recordings.
Here's a quote from George from the liner notes of the album "During the process I was asked to write a string score for an early take of George's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". I was aware of such a responsibility, but thankfully everyone approved of the result. Yesterday was the first score I had written for a Beatle song way back in 1965 and this score, 41 years later is the last. It wraps up an incredible perios of my life with those 4 amazing men who changed the world.
The first song, BECAUSE is one of my favorite from the Beatles and it is done acapella on this album. The voices sound so good
