BEATLES - 'NEW' BEATLES MUSIC TO BE RELEASED

THE BEATLES will release an album of "completely new music" taken from unreleased archive material to tie in with an upcoming Las Vegas, Nevada theatrical show. The stage production, due to open this summer (06), will last 90 minutes and features acrobats of the Cirque du Soleil interpreting The Beatles' songs. And bosses at the band's Apple record label are planning a special treat for fans of the Fab Four, to be overseen by surviving bandmembers SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY and RINGO STARR. Apple chief NEIL ASPINALL says, "It involves the creation, by the remixing and remastering of The Beatles' recorded performances, of completely new music, which will be featured in the show, and which should lead to the release of the show album."
