And yet Love, almost despite itself, remains a fascinating work that any Beatles fan should own. Part of this has to do with the bedrock integrity of the songs themselves -- forty years on, these landmarks not only still sound fresh, they still sound musically subversive. But the most compelling reason to pick this one up, even if you haven't seen the stage show, is the sound: the remastering makes the songs leap forth with even more clarity than they did on Beatles 1, which is an achivement in itself, and the "special edition" audio-only DVD marks the first time anything in the Fabs' repertoire has been remixed in Dolby 5.1. Whether you call it a gimmick or a breath of fresh air, most of Love only goes to prove something else we all already knew: that the entire Beatles back catalog needs to be completely remastered using the latest technology. And right this very minute.
