London - A "new" album of Beatles music
mixed by their legendary producer George Martin and described as
a new "way of reliving the whole Beatles musical lifespan", will be released in November.
EMI Music and Apple Corps Ltd said on Tuesday that Martin
and his son Giles began work on the album, called Love, after getting permission from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Yok Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison representing John Lennon and
George Harrison.
The music has already been used as the soundtrack to the
theatrical Cirque du Soleil show called Love.
"This music was designed for the Love show in Las Vegas but in doing so we've created a new Beatles album," George Martin said.
"The Beatles always looked for other ways of expressing
themselves and this is another step forward for them.
"What people will be hearing on the album is a new
experience, a way of re-living the whole Beatles musical
lifespan in a very condensed period."
The Martins worked from the original master tapes from the
Abbey Road studios to produce a medley of Beatles music by
remixing favourite songs, such as Harrison's Within You Without You being played to the drum-track of Tomorrow Never Knows.
