Beatles Love, should I run?


I am considering the purchase of the Beatles Love album on vinyl.

Sometimes when I hear songs that are not in their original format I prefer the original but this has gotten such universal praise that I wonder if maybe I would like it.

Who has heard this and what do you think?

I welcome any comments..

I don't own it, but I have listened to some bits. George Martin has done his magic again. He re-mixed things to highlite what was missing, including Ringo;s drumming.

Worth the exploration.

Paul and Ringo are not the Beatles. However, it doesn't matter whether you're citing Ringo, Paul, Yoko, or George Martin; money is the salient issue. I suspect John Lennon is turning over in his grave but we'll never know.

Look if you guys like this schlock fine, but ensure it's kept alongside your Barry Manilow and Air Supply stuff where it rightfully belongs. I wouldn't dignify my collection with this POS.

There is no accounting for bad taste.
One man's garbage I suppose. But it is nice to know we have a harbinger of taste on the board. And as far as relevance goes, what is really? But I think the music John did with Yoko sort of disqualifies his opinion.

Wasn't it Paul McCartney who gave us rock gems such as Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, Silly Love Songs, Say Say Say, Coming Up, Smile Away, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Hi Hi Hi, Let 'Em In, With a Little Luck, ad nauseum?

So much for that argument.

Besides, the music Lennon made with Yoko was a small percentage of his total body of work which is clearly superior to brother Paul's.

McCartney's solo work and with Wings is so syrupy your turntable may think it's playing pancakes.
I'll give you that Audiofeil but at least it did have some semblance of music. I wasn't much of a McCartney fan either though. The pair needed each other to balance things out.
