Here comes the sun...♪

Yoooooooo!

By the way most of the posts are me, Mercutio, as Bartholomew has sadly passed away.

BeatleMania is back!

All 13 Beatles albums are being re-issued, with the sound having been wonderfully cleared up! Or, as they like to call it 're-mastered'! From the album 'Please Please Me' To 'The Beatles' Also known as 'The White Album', they have all been re-released. So along with The Beatles rock band and appearing on the cover of every music cover, how does Sir Paul McCartney himself feel about it?

NME asked McCartney about his view on the old days;

'I'm very happy with The Beatles' output. That's probably an understatement. I think we were a pretty hot band, really.'
So what is the aim behind 're-mastering' the legendary albums? He said that their aim was to introduce The Beatles' revolutionary music back to the world, and get younger generations listening to it. And with the help of The Beatles' Rock Band game, They are certainly doing that. Another advantage of the Rock Band game, is that the music can now be downloaded, whereas before, they had several issues with downloading The Beatles' music.

In fact, The most recent issue of NME has been completely dedicated to the great band, With their being 12 different covers of the magazine released world-wide, each an iconic picture of one of the album's. My issue has the famous 'Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' picture on it. And exclusive online, you can buy a very limited 13th cover. The guys at NME have also decided to re-review every album.

So overall, The Beatle's are taking over again, through the work of re-releases, a video game, and not only NME providing 32 pages for them, through appearing on the cover of several other magazines. Rock on BeatleMania!
