New Beatles Remix Article

No Baak, sorry, havent heard anything about that.

Interesting. Let It Be...Naked was a remix and far superior, but done by McCartney himself.

Am anxious to hear some of the tracks. Have always been into the production side of music as I know others here are (Two Saks and Vinylrake).

Elf!! We Agree!! No doubt, "Let it Be Naked" is far superior then the Phil Spector over-produced original album.

I going to check out the remix today...optimistic since George Martin is involved.

I'll wait until I hear what you think of it

Belatedly, coincidently I have had a VHS tape (yes I am a dinosaur) of the Cirque du Soleil (sorry about spelling I was too lazy to look it up) show "Love" that features the soundtrack we are talking about sitting next to my VCR for the past month. My parents saw it on PBS and noticed it was Beatle related so taped it for me. I wasn't sure I wanted to see Cirque set to Beatles songs, but the article does make the music sound interesting.

A couple of days ago I heard an interview with George Martin - at one point the interviewer asked which version of songs he liked better and he said if you could only listen to one then definitely listen to the originals, but that he thought they had done a good job keeping the spirit of the songs intact. He also said that he was very fortunate to have had such a long time being involved with Beatle music, and thought that in all likelihood this would be the last album he will produce.

Whevener I hear George Martin talk about his work with the Beatles I am struck by how lucky they were to have him assigned to them so early - although they weren't his normal style of music he seemed to really appreciate them as composers/singers/performers and really helped them refine/polish their sound. That they kept him as their producer until just before the last, ill-fated Let It Be project says a lot about how highly they regarded him as well. I always wondered what the let it be album would have sounded like had Martin produced it, or how different the dynamics might have been between the bandmembers if they had someone mentally stable in the control room. Seriously, compare Let it Be (Spector) to Abby Road - I know for LiB they were going for something different, but both were recorded within a few months of each other - what a difference.

if you are a Beatle fan get it. Some mixes are amazing others, OK, but overall a must for the Beatle lover (hell...if you are a beatle lover you have already DOH!).

I really enjoyed "While my guitar gently weeps" and "Strawberry Fields Forever", since they incorporated some demo traks, the 'essense' if you will...

I had a quick listen but was talking to a load of people and couldn't listen carefully. It sounded ok, I didn't find myself singing along but it wasn't offensive/intrusive...shall find out more for sure (:

Let It Be...Naked is a better remix album though I think.
