The Beatles
The Beatles
The Beatles are inviting Internet users to take part in the "LOVE" global listening event.
The new album "LOVE" will be released on November 20th (21st in the U.S.) and to celebrate, The Beatles are offering everyone the chance to hear the whole album online first. All you have to do to take part is to login using your email address and add your pin to the world map. You will be able to view all the other people who have listened to the album around the world.
The Beatles have also added the exclusive film featuring interviews with Paul, Ringo, Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison and Sir George Martin. The film explains how the tracks were re-worked for LOVE - the music and visual collaboration between The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil. Sir George 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 of The Beatles.
