The Beatles\' Love To Be Released in Stereo and 5.1
Oct 23, 2006, 12:53

London, UK (October 23, 2006)--Apple Corps Ltd/EMI Music are to release the Beatles Love album in stereo and 5.1 on November 20. This will be the first Beatles album available in 5.1.

The stereo CD will contain 78 minutes of music. The DVD surround sound version on DVD disc album will be a slightly extended version with 81 minutes of music.

After being asked by the remaining Beatles, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, to make experimental mixes from their master tapes for a collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Sir George Martin, The Beatles\' legendary producer, and his son Giles Martin, have been working with the entire archive of Beatles recordings to create Love. The result is an unprecedented approach to the music. Using the master tapes at Abbey Road Studios, Sir George and Giles have created a unique soundscape. The release of this album, which is also featured in the Cirque du Soleil/Beatles collaborative production of the same name at The Mirage in Las Vegas, has been much anticipated.

Tony Wadsworth, chairman and CEO of EMI Music UK and Ireland said, "George and Giles\' highly original work in creating the Love album gives us a genuinely new Beatles album. It makes us respect even more, if that were possible, the creativity and brilliance of the band behind the greatest catalogue in the history of recorded music."

The 5.1 disc is a DVD-Audio/DVD-Video hybrid. The audio is presented in high-resolution 96/24 5.1 surround on the DVD-Audio part of the disc. The DVD-Video part carries 5.1 surround in DTS and Dolby Digital as well as a PCM stereo mix. This DVD album is designed to be played on DVD video equipment but will carry no video component.

yeah, i was gonna post about this last week when i saw it.. very psyched. i can\'t even put into words how incredible these songs sounded during the show. absolutely mind-blowing. granted it was much much more than 5.1, but i\'m still really excited for this. the remixed/remastered songs are amazing.

whats interesting about the above is DVD-A does NOT support 5.1 in 24/96

the highest resolution available for 5.1 mixes is 24/48 per channel

So I would imagine the 24/96 PCM would be stereo.

picked it up on the way home yesterday, and had it on during poker. the DTS track sounds fantastic, though i want to sit on the couch and listen to the whole thing through..

definitely made me want to see the show again..

yea, one of my friends got it yesterday and was raving about it. He said some of the mashes are increadible. I can\'t wait to hear the glass onion/get back. Those two songs work so good together - same key, same tempo, same groove. :drool:
