Leslie Cheung almost 19 years ago

The new Beatles album, Love, will be released on November 20 on CD and CD+DVD deluxe edition via Apple/Cirque du Soleil/EMI. The album features mashed-up remixes from the Beatles back catalogue. The CD version is 78 minutes long, while the DVD is 81 minutes long.

The album was created by Sir George Martin with his son Giles Martin for the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name, which is currently showing at the Mirage in Las Vegas. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison all contributed their suggestions of which songs to use.


"This album puts the Beatles back together again, because suddenly there's John and George with me and Ringo," said Paul McCartney. "It's kind of magical."

"George and Giles did such a great job combining these tracks. It's really powerful for me and I even heard things I'd forgotten we'd recorded." commented Ringo Starr.

"The album has the feeling of love and that's why the title is Beatles Love," added Yoko Ono Lennon, "They have let everything that is beautiful and daring come out."

"The music is stunning. I think the most amazing thing about it is that you can pull it apart and all the elements carry with it the essence of the entire song," said Olivia Harrison.
