  I was glad to find this thoughtful review. I got this album for Christmas and have been listening to it a lot the last couple of weeks.
  
  One thing I'm finding very entertaining about it, aside from the great new mixes, is that often the songs use not just the final version of parts in the mix (the ones we're most familiar with), but also alternate takes. For instance, "While my guitar gently weeps" includes a verse that was left out of the original release. This gives us not just a new sheen on old songs, but almost the feel of "new versions" done by the Beatles themselves.

  Hi Patrick, thanks for stopping by... that is a good point about alternate takes being used here. My Guitar Gently Weeps is obviously quite different from the White Album version with Eric Clapton and a full band.
  
  Another example that comes to mind is the Love version of Strawberry fields, which is essentially going from a Lennon demo through various versions... the demos appear on the Beatles Anthology CDs but not stitched together in this manner.

  "Love" was made for me, a Beatle-phile. Sifting thru the tracks I am stunned by Sir George's and Giles attention to detail -- the foreshadowing, transitions, and medleys, all done with tremendous care (even the ones that don't work as well:). I have listened to the Fabs music for 30 years, and this was such a delight. Giles' liner note says it all -- this band, in their 20's, still blows everybody away

  Hey Mike. Yeah I did mention it above but I was really impressed by the clarity of the sound on the Love disc. Good to know that as a long time beatle fan you didn't find it too off-putting. I'd also recommend checking out the Beatles Love show in Vegas which I really enjoyed, too, if you haven't done so already.

  Like most Beatles fans, I like the album from the tracks that were chosen down to the album cover. Some songs were given a new twist and they definitely sounded better especially the intro part, others were creepy sounding. All in all the album was a great buy. You should check out their site it gives detailed explanations for each tracks.
