''Love'' is a soundtrack remix album of music recorded by the Beatles, released in November 2006. It features music compiled and remixed as a mashup for the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. The album was produced by George Martin and his son Giles Martin, who said, "What people will be hearing on the album is a new experience, a way of re-living the whole Beatles musical lifespan in a very condensed period." ==Release history== George Martin and his son Giles began work on ''Love'' after obtaining permission from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison (the latter two representing the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison, respectively).〔 The idea for using the Beatles' music in a Cirque du Soleil production had originally come from Harrison, who died in November 2001,〔Russell Reising and Jim LeBlanc, "Magical mystery tours, and others trips: Yellow submarines, newspaper taxis, and the Beatles' psychedelic years", in Kenneth Womack (ed.), ''The Cambridge Companion to the Beatles'', Cambridge University Press (Cambridge, UK, 2009; ISBN 978-1-139-82806-2), p. 105.〕 through his friendship with the company's founder, Guy Laliberté.〔 Speaking to ''Mojo'' editor Jim Irvin in December 2006, Giles Martin said that he first created a demo combining "Within You Without You" with "Tomorrow Never Knows", which he then nervously presented to McCartney and Starr for their approval. In Martin's recollection, "they loved it", with McCartney saying: "This is what we should be doing, more of this." In discussing the project, Giles Martin noted that elements were used from recordings in the Beatles catalogue, "the original four tracks, eight tracks and two tracks and used this palette of sounds and music to create a soundbed".〔 Because he was concerned that they might not get the green light to proceed with ''Love'', he began by making digital back-ups of the original multi-track recordings, just to get started on the project. He also said that he and his father mixed more music than was eventually released, including "She's Leaving Home" and a version of "Girl" that he was particularly fond of, which was eventually released in 2011 as a bonus track on the album on iTunes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Beatles Fan Club )〕 McCartney and Starr both responded very positively to the completed album. McCartney said that it "puts The Beatles back together again, because suddenly there's John and George with me and Ringo". Starr commended the Martins for their work, adding that ''Love'' was "really powerful for me and I even heard things I'd forgotten we'd recorded". ''Love'' was first played publicly on Virgin Radio's ''The Geoff Show''. DJ Geoff Lloyd, the show's host, chose to play the entire work uninterrupted, to allow younger fans to experience an album premiere. ''Love'' placed at number 3 in the UK Albums Chart during its first week of release, trailing Westlife's ''The Love Album'' and Oasis' ''Stop the Clocks'' compilation. It was also successful in the United States, debuting at number 4 on the ''Billboard'' 200, where it was certified Platinum in late 2006. At the 50th annual Grammy Awards on 10 February 2008, the album won Grammys in two categories – Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and Best Surround Sound Album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love (Beatles album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
