There is only one thing about "Love" that I would change. Granted, no WAY could they fit all the relevant psychedelic Beatles songs into the show/onto the album, but I really feel that "Dear Prudence" should have been included. It is listed but it is just a tiny nuance/hint in a transition melange. Just my opinion, but they could have left out "Back in the U.S.S.R.", "Help" and/or "Yesterday" and put in "Dear Prudence", as it cries out to me to be part of "Love", since it is psychedelic, loving and beautiful, speaking to and, in many ways, epitomizing all the themes of "Love" (our connectedness/oneness with nature and each other, etc.). But that is the ONLY thing I'd change, making sure to fit "Dear Prudence" in somehow, instead of just giving it a barely noticeable nod in a transition. Otherwise, the album is perfection.
George Martin has outdone himself. There simply aren't enough superlatives for the wonderful, loving, delightful, psychedelic, nostalgic, transporting, brilliant, profound, intricately woven tapestry of a trip he and the Beatles send the listener on with this album, which really must be listened to as just that: the whole album, start to finish. It is a whole, a lovingly, carefully, meticulously, AMAZINGLY mixed whole. Like the lyrics command you:
"Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream."
I cannot believe what Martin & son have done here. I shouldn't even write this yet, after just one listen, but I HAVE TO. omg.
First of all, Because. He's done this cosmic version. I mean, the song is already cosmic but then he made it a capella and put these pauses in and, it is just ...I mean...how to describe it...I can't! It just takes you immediately into your own kundalini and from there the rest of the album is a journey "within you and without you".
I am normally NOT a proponent of melanges or medleys. But Martin has such a respect for the Beatles songs and a feel for them, and he "melanges" at just the right places but then he also lets one single song flow at just the right places, too. Any and all tinkering with the songs is WONDERFUL, too! Again, normally I would absolutely be against changing one note, one nuance of a Beatles song, but this is George Martin. He has a golden pass, far as I'm concerned. He IS the fifth Beatle, that is so evident in the loving and marvelous job he did on this album.
This just takes you through the entire Beatles experience in a way that I personally have never journeyed it before. It is just totally transporting from beginning to end. Transporting to where, you might ask? To your deepest core, to the outer reaches of the universe, to the Beatle years, to a psychedelic trip into your soul, and then outward into the cosmos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that is just in the first few moments *lol*, it goes on from there!
I just am totally amazed by this album. It's love at first listen. Especially for Beatles fans, but I think anyone who listens will be one (a Beatles fan) by the end. If not, you aren't someone I'd want to know! You are someone scary without a heart or soul or imagination! Anyone with one or more of those three things will be totally moved by this album.
Where to start as far as the songs themselves? We've already covered the stunning first song, a remixed Because. Then you wouldn't think "Get Back" would seamlessly transition in after that, but it DOES! And you feel like you are at Abbey Road hearing them perform it impromptu. A captivating "Glass Onion" follows and then an absolutely heartbreaking and poignant Eleanor Rigby. The little transition byte of "Julia" found me emotional and just took that further. But no tears...yet. We'll get there. "I am the Walrus" blew my socks off and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" added some more Beatlemania to the mix. Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing has some amazing mixing wherein Martin somehow blends two separate and distinct melodies into one piece and makes it seem like they were always meant to harmonize like that! WHAT?!!! How'd he do that?! Get the feather out and knock me over with it.
If I went on and on reviewing each piece, we'd be here all day. "Strawberry Fields" is amazing and somehow--if this can be believed, but it is true, I swear--is even TRIPPIER than the original! "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is BETTER than the original mix. Masterpiece ALERT. By the time we got to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", I suddenly started to! As in, I started bawling like a baby! I have no idea why. I think that this album is so aptly titled "love" because all the songs just evoke such beautiful emotions of love and connectedness to the universe and, I dunno, by the time I heard a few notes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", I was GONE, goodbye! I don't know if I was happy or sad or what, but I know the music deeply touched me.
Then for three songs after that I was feeling happy and uplifted: "A Day in the Life", "Hey Jude" (my fave Beatles song of all time), and "Sgt. Pepper". But then darned if "All You Need is Love" didn't get me going again, bawling like a baby. By then I'm pretty sure it was tears of joy, though. Joy that such music as this exists in the world.
Get this album. In fact, if everyone on earth would listen to this CD, I'm convinced that harmonic convergence would occur and there would be peace and love throughout the land. Just make sure, before the first time you listen to it, to clear your schedule, turn off the phone, and tune in exclusively to the music, because you are about to go on a trip. A wonderful, psychedelic trip.
Giving as a gift for Valentines...

Fast delivery!!
Perfect condition!!
Thank you!!
My assumption here is that Martin's son, Giles, also given production credit for Love, was primarily on board to back up a man whose ears and hands are more than 80 years old. In other words, the feel of the project seems to be pure George Martin. (If I'm wrong, Giles, forgive me!) And what makes this collection so fascinating - and enjoyable - is that instead of hearing a work - i.e any other original Beatle album - which came from source material that occurred outside our awareness, we're listening to Martin's ideas about songs we already know quite well. Therefore, the Beatles' producer's mind is finally seen in full clarity.
Some of the material here is "merely" vastly improved remixing and remastering, such as Help. A few of the productions are a little forced at times - e.g., Octopus's Garden. But there's a lot of brilliance here and it's incredible, to me anyway, that a man of Martin's age still retains so much youthful exuberance in his vision.
As has been said elsewhere, Strawberry Fields is a classic, worth the price of the entire collection. My favorite part is when he's got Piggies and Hello Goodbye going neck and neck, the former changing the meaning of the latter's vocal melody because the chords are so different. If you've heard it, you know just what I'm saying. Another standout is Drive My Car, which has an almost Escher-like morphing process going, involving What You're Doing, Taxman, The Word and Drive My Car. It's an amazing arrangement and it's SO essentially Beatles that we now get how much of that sound came from this man's imagination.
And taking a cue from their last recording, Abbey Road, the CD ends rather undramatically, with a clip of Lennon from the end of one of the Beatles' early Christmas records made for their fan club members during the 60s - "This is Johnny Rhythm saying 'Good night to yas all - and God bless yas!'" If you're at all into the Beatles, or have ever wanted to be, you'll be really glad you've purchased this CD.
This added after a few listens:
Another interesting touch is the inclusion of complete tracks that were only partly used on the "official" release of certain songs. For instance, the end of Back in the USSR reveals McCartney vocal ad libs that were left off the White Album. Also, I Am the Walrus features more strings than the original, although truthfully, that may be a function of how cleaned up these mixes are. Either way, the experience is new, which is a pretty big deal for (us) Beatle fans that have heard these songs 1000 times over the years.
And one more thought: The transition from Mr. Kite to I Want You is so inspired it makes you smile in disbelief. Too much...

Jammer alleen dat de eigenlijke platenhoes wat gedeukt was. Laten vallen? .... De verpakking was goed, dus dat moet reeds voor verpakking gebeurt zijn.
In deze prijsklasse toch jammer dat dat dan toch zo verstuurd wordt. Ik heb het een beetje kunnen uitdeuken ;-)
