If the concept of "The Beatles, remixed" saddens you, know that original Beatles producer George Martin was at the helm for this project, which serves as the soundtrack to the Vegas-based Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. The 26 mashed-up tracks here were augmented with additional instrumentation and vocals performed by The Beatles themselves, culled from hours of original demo and master tapes, with pieces of 130 songs ultimately represented in some form.

you mean this was the same George Martin that helped produce the "White Album", Magical Mystery Tour", .... Why, in Gawds' name has so many tracks on this take been so brutally chopped into a SpeedTracks crash site. ?!!! Do NOT BUY this- although I must say the one saving grace was that It was on sale at Best Buy for 1/3rd off. -so now I know why. 'cause I didn't really listen to it before I bought it did I ? Sorry George, I know its not you, its the Bush's in the Music Industry today. -tears for fears here. -Can someone just package the real original Bealtes in a 30 CD set or whatever ? ya, ok maybe this isn't so bad but do the above and I will gladly pay for the whole and original skebang. -or, you're just going to force me to download them.

The Beatles were truly the greatest band in the history of music, and their music is timeless. This album is a prime example of how great they really were. Other folks say you should'nt mess with the classic songs of the Beatles, so what are we to do? Look and listen but not never touch? Thats exactly the opposite of what the Beatles were all about. The White Album's "Revolution 9" shows my point completely. Anywho I think this album would have made John and George very happy, as it had Paul and Ringo. Peace.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and really appreciate most of their music but how many more variations of the same music can we be expected to buy? It may be time for us to move on.

This is a great Cd...Its fun hearing things that were pushed back a bit in the original mixes and less of the "stacked" sounds that covered up some great things proving that sometimes less is more. Now...to all you purest...This Cd is what it is...a new fresh way to listen to the fab four...You still have the original cds and I'm not in any way implying that this is better....just a new aproach!

Beatlemania reigns in the 21st century. Another generation can ALMOST understand what we did when they first hit the shores.

Contributes nothing to the understanding of what made the Beatles great. Sorry, don't get it.

Great fun figuring out where the various sub-parts come from, and a great variety of Beatle sounds - not necessarily #1 hits. The one Beatle album to take on a desert island.
