Now available in a 2 LP 180 gram vinyl piece in artwork true to the original packaging. LOVE, is not merely the soundtrack to the stunning Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. It is a fascinating reworking of numerous classic Beatles recordings by the band's original producer, Sir George Martin and his son Giles.
In creating the music for the show and for the album, George and Giles have created a continuous 'soundscape' - a series of well-known Beatles songs augmented by additional instrumentation and vocals taken from their vast bank of original multi-track tapes.
The Top 100 '60s Rock Albums represent the moment when popular music came of age. In the earliest part of the decade, bands were still regularly referencing earlier sounds and themes. By the middle, something powerful and distinct was happening, which is why the latter part of the '60s weighs so heavily on our list. A number of bands evolved alongside fast-emerging trends of blues rock, folk rock, psychedelia and hard rock, adding new complexities to the music even as the songs themselves became more topical. If there's a thread running through the Top 100 '60s Rock Albums and this period of intense change, it has to do with the forward-thinking artists who managed to echo and, in some cases, advance the zeitgeist. Along the way, legends were made.

Beatles Love Bach is a wayto thank you to those who awakened a parallel path of my academic musical life: Johann Sebastian Bach and the Beatles. This CD is a dream that comes true after so many years: to record this music in the first sources of inspiration of the Liverpool's geniuses. The same organ that accompanied Paul McCartney - at St Barnabas Church in Liverpool, when he sang as a chorister at 1954-1956 reverberates in this record, uniting the emotion of sounding together the great idols of my adolescence and musical life as a whole.
