All you need is Love - and the waiting is nearly over

Nov 17 2006 by Alan Weston, Liverpool Daily Post

Beatles' fans were yesterday on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the album's release. 
 
Jean Catharell of Liverpool Beatlescene group said: "So far I've avoided hearing it on the radio because I want to sit down and hear the whole thing when it's released. When I first heard about the album, I thought it was going to be absolutely wonderful. 
 
"I've heard so much about it and I've spoken to a lot of people who have been out to Las Vegas to see the Cirque Du Soleil performance I'm sure it's going to be breathtaking." Stephen Bailey, manager of Mathew Street's Beatles shop, said: "We gave out tickets to the event at the shop and they went so quickly. I've heard the songs and as someone who has spent years listening to the originals I think the new ones will take a bit of getting used to. 
 
"We've had lots of people coming in and asking if there are any more left so there have been quite a few disappointed fans." 
 
Love will be released in a 78-minute stereo CD version and in an 81-minute audio-only version which will play through DVD systems on Monday.
