The surviving Beatles members have gone back to the master tapes and put out "new" versions of many of their hits. The album is called Love. Intriguing. Check the website for audio clips. What makes this different from a remastered best of album? Boingboing says that the tracks are mashups of the originals, including elements from other tracks... but personally (and this could be because I'm listening to 15sec samples) most of the tracks just sound like remastered versions of the same old songs. Maybe after I get the album and listen to it in its entirety, the new bits will be easier to spot/more obvious?
Notable and awesome exceptions: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) and Drive My Car, which are gold. Don't suppose they'd be putting out instrumentals of these?
