Truth to Power

The Beatles in 5.1

In a word, incredible. If ever a single statement was needed to show the brilliance of the Beatles- and their producer George Martin- then the 5.1 mix of The Beatles “Love” would serve well.

Never has the contrast between the ornate pop of Paul and the angry, fearful menace of John been so apparent. George’s contributions- from the surreal “Within You Without You” to the beautiful “Here Comes the Sun” showcase the quiet one’s understated artistry, a message of hope in 3D sound.

This collection in many ways is the definitive Beatles document, and will enlighten new listeners to a vital fact-

The Beatles weren’t the best because they were the biggest. They were the biggest because they were the best.
