From the Telegraph :
An album by the Beatles featuring “completely new music” is in production and will be released to coincide with the first authorised theatrical show of the group’s work. […] Neil Aspinall, the head of Apple Corps, the Beatles’ record label, said the show was an ambitious project with “a huge investment”. “It involves the creation, by the re-mixing and re-mastering of the Beatles’ recorded performances, of completely new music, which will be featured in the show, and which should lead to the release of the show album.”
[…]
The producers will have access to unreleased archival material, including 200 hours of recorded conversations between the Beatles in the recording studio.
It goes on to say the show will be mounted by Cirque de Soleil, and was actually George Harrison’s idea, who was a big fan of the Cirque. Maybe it won’t be completely tacky. Pity Brian Epstein isn’t alive to see it.
Yeah, it’ll be tacky. The Beatles talking over new music while acrobats swing around. Plus re-mixed Beatles songs?
John’ll be spinning so hard he’ll dig his way to China. Unless they can get Yoko warbling along in there somehow.
I bet John Lennon is praising Mark Chapman’s aim right now.
I doubt it, especially since if he were alive, he could have put a stop to this.
This will be teh suck straight from teh suckland.
