Unreleased Beatles tracks are to be reworked for a Las Vegas circus show soundtrack, with an accompanying album reported to be lined up for release. Producer Sir George Martin is making background music for the forthcoming Cirque du Soleil show by remastering unheard recordings by the band.
Variety says the band’s label Apple Corps plans to release an album of “completely new music” from the show.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are said to be overseeing the project. The families of George Harrison and John Lennon have also been involved.
Announced in 2004, the Cirque du Soleil show is expected to open at the Mirage resort in Las Vegas this summer.
