Great pic, raxo!

[...] But they all instinctively knew that in order to get to the "toppermost of the poppermost" there were certain things that had to be done, and they were going to do them to the best of their ability ... like pose for silly pics like these with smiles on that seem to suggest there is NOTHING else they'd rather be doing.

Pleased you like the pic, alexis!

That's the key word ... it wouldn't do to sink their reputation at the height of Beatlemania, would it!

They used to do the most childish poses that you can imagine and then they could tell that it all was for the press ... but I'm sure they enjoyed them a lot!!! The pillow battle was arranged (official story) but it's the kind of thing I could believe they could do almost everyday at their rooms ... being all day alone, what else? during the daytime, of course!!!

I must admit I haven't listened to the album since Xmas.

I'm with you Bobber. I bought it, listened to it 5 times and it hasent been off the shelf since.

Me too. Except for Tomorrow Never Knows/Within You, Without You.

I like the whole thing but if i hadn't bought the DVD version i wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. I like to hear the surround mix as more of a tease for some (hopefully) FULL special edition remasters of their catalogue.. some really cool stuff going on with LOVE but i can't wait to get my hands on a real remaster and i hope they take a cue from this project and give us some cool DTS mixes too for home i'd die for that

There is a nice article in "Sound-on-Sound" interviewing Sir George and Giles about the making of the album. SG sez he's hanging up his cleats for good now, his son sez "watch out he's said that before!".

Interesting comments made there about the some people's feelings that the early period was underrepresented in the remixes. The Martins said that because of so much bouncing down of tracks in those 2-track recording days that it's often simply not possible to get (for example) a vocal, drum, or guitar track in isolation without one of the other instruments on there as well.

Even so, I'll take whatever we can get on these ... come on Sir George and Giles, "One-two-three-four, can we have a little more?"

Please allow me to rabbit on about how amazing the 16 minute The End 'remix' is on The Remixers Group website!

They should call C.S.I.

LOVE is probably better with mostly later songs on it anyway.

It would be very difficult to come up with a convincing surround mix from the early stuff.

I Love those shows!!!!!!!!

Hey Bungalow Bill.......I feel the same way!

Yeah, it's alright. Don't really listen to it though, a bit like Pepper in as much as it's whole is better than it's individual parts. I got that feeling after I listened to it first time out.
