Back in 2003 a band of Beatles fans got together and formed the Beatles Remixers Group, with the intention of producing some radical remixes of Beatles songs for their own amusement. Some time later they'd amassed enough material to produce a seven CD box set of what they'd done, and being the massive Beatles fan that I am I grabbed them when I saw them, which was just as well as they now seemed to have vanished completely from the net. After ploughing my way through all seven CD's I found that some of the tracks were brilliantly inventive, while other didn't work quite so well, so eventually I decided to take my favourite tracks from the set and put them all on one CD, which is what you have here. So if you are a Beatles fan who wants to hear 'Help' with a mariachi backing, 'Eleanor Rigby' with panpipes, 'Fixing A Hole' and 'It's Getting Better' interlaced, or a full version of the 'Abbey Road' medley section 'Nowhere To Go' then you're in the right place. However, the piece de resistance is the final track, 'The End Megamix', which is quite simply one of best remixes that I've ever heard. It's ten and half minutes of magic, which flys by so quickly that you won't believe it when it's over, and you just want to put it on again straight away. The person who made this deserves a medal. Full notes about all the samples are included in the download.
