As Ron Howard’s film chronicling the rise of the Beatles hits the screens, one of the most consistently overlooked items in the Fab Four’s catalogue makes a welcome return—in vastly improved fashion. Technology has evolved a lot since George Martin revisited the tapes of the Beatles’ 1964/1965 Hollywood Bowl shows and prepared them for a 1977 release. Those performances (and mixes) have come out on budget releases and unauthorized CDs since then, but now the performances assembled on the George Martin-overseen "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" album—plus four bonus songs—are coming to CD and vinyl, newly remixed and remastered by George’s son (and "Love" co-producer) Giles Martin with engineer Sam Okell at Abbey Road. But forget that whole saga and just dig the sounds of four Liverpool lads rocking their hearts out with "Twist and Shout," "A Hard Day’s Night," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "You Can’t Do That," "Help!," "All My Loving," "Ticket to Ride," "Can’t Buy Me Love," "She Loves You," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Long Tall Sally" and more!
