A new remix of Beatles music created for the Cirque du Soleil show Love is due out Nov. 21 and already some purists are dismissing it as heresy.

The album, also called Love, is based on recordings from the London studios of Apple and was made with the blessings of surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as John Lennon's widow,Yoko Ono, and George Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison.

But the music is a mashup, patching together studio banter, song snippets and instrumental recordings in a way the Beatles themselves never envisioned.

The fresh take on the Fab Four was greeted warmly in Love, the Cirque du Soleil show that opened in Las Vegas this summer.

"Both myself and my dad really expect to get flayed alive for this," said Martin, who was born in 1969 as the band was breaking up. "I had fresh ears — if you can have fresh ears to the Beatles — and my job was to make things different."

The rules were simple: Beatles tracks only, no electronic distortion of what they recorded and no newly recorded music. The single exception was a string arrangement, written by George Martin, to accompany an acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

The 26-track collection opens with an a cappella version of Because adorned with birdsong.

Then it has a new version of Get Back, with drums drawn from Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) and the crowd from the Hollywood Bowl.

Throughout the recording are interjections designed to keep music fans pushing repeat on their disc player to decipher the quirky references.

Martin said creating the album was fun. The Beatles themselves often included riffs from one song in creating another, he noted.

"They cross-referenced themselves the whole time," Martin said.

"If you look at [the 1967 song] All You Need is Love, John Lennon sings 'She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah' at the end. They like the idea of that, of nicking their own ideas and putting them together."

But while McCartney and Starr expressed support for the project, ardent fans may not be so receptive.

Count Bob Spitz, author of The Beatles: The Biography, said he's disappointed by what Apple is doing with the Beatles' legacy.

"Not by the end product but by the fact that they are the Beatles' songs and overdubbing them and massaging them allows other people to impose their own creative ideas on something that was so immediate and of a particular time," he said.

"I thought that legacy was virtually tamper-proof, until now."

LENNON'S WIVES DISAGREE OVER NEW BEATLES ALBUM

JOHN LENNON's first wife CYNTHIA has hit out at YOKO ONO for not allowing his son JULIAN to contribute to a new album of reworked BEATLES songs.

Cynthia, who was married to the late IMAGINE star for six years until their 1968 divorce, claims Ono deliberately excluded Julian from working on LOVE because she prefers to think Lennon never loved anyone else before they wed in 1969.

She says, "It seems to me that Julian could have brought something valuable. (Ono) is a very powerful woman. She controls a quarter of The Beatles legacy. She can make or break new projects."

"After John died I understood that she was positioning herself as the only woman in John's life, so that she could manipulate history."

Love has been produced by The Beatles producer GEORGE MARTIN and his son GILES, and is the soundtrack to Cirque du Soleil show of the same name.

LOVE NO.1 but Jackson wins also!

It looks like the Beatles have done it again. Right now, Amazon.com is reporting that the defunct bestselling rock group of all time has not one but two CDs in their top 10. And they’re simply two different versions of the same album.

According to the Amazon.com bestseller list, The Beatles’ soundtrack to “Love,” their Cirque du Soleil show, is holding strong at number 1 or 2 depending on the hour. That’s the single CD version. Another edition, with a second disc of exactly the same music but recorded in DVD Audio, is logged in at number 6.

This is great news for Paul, Ringo, Olivia, and Yoko, who put aside their many differences to make the “Love” project happen. But it’s also fantastic news for Michael Jackson, who needs every penny he can get his hands on. Because of "Love," Jacko might be able to afford that other glove the next time he hits the stage.

Thanks to his former attorney and advisor John Branca, Jackson owns 50% of the Lennon-McCartney song catalog, now known as Sony ATV Music Publishing. “Love” should increase the value of the company’s catalog, which will come in handy when Jackson sells half of his 50% ownership to Sony in the coming year.

And yes, Jackson will have to sell his part of that catalogue because, as usual, he is low on cash despite having enormous wealth on paper. As I reported earlier this week, Jackson has been the gratis guest of Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley at his County Cork, Ireland, estate and castle since last June.

For the Beatles, though, the enormous success of “Love” should be credited to three people: George Harrison, who had the foresight and imagination to know Cirque du Soleil would be a good match for the songs; George Martin, the Beatles’ longtime producer who cleverly mixed up all songs and rearranged them to spectacular effect; and Apple Records’ Neil Aspinall, who has proven to be a canny captain to steer the group through its unprecedented successful 37 year denouement.

Having spent a few hours listening to George Martin's new creation, I find it rather peculiar.

Some of the tracks are straight lifts from the originals with a different bass line or guitar solo, while others just have a different beginning or ending. Some snippets were even a mystery to me.

Nonetheless interesting, but certainly not essential.
