I consider this album, made by The Beatles' manager George Martin and his son using the original raw tracks on tape as their "ore", to be sheer crystalline genius. They did some very radical "mash ups" of different songs into whole new gems, but they treated 'Hey Jude' and 'I Am The Walrus' with very light hands. 'I Am The Walrus' is my favorite song hands down, with 'Appalachian Spring' and 'Why' by Yoko Ono right behind, and so I love this revisitation of this iconic musical score by the man who clearly contributed much to the astonishing creativity of 'The Beatles'. enjoy, John (no video though)
