Come for Liverpool, Stay for Louisville; 25,000 Beatles Fans 'Come Together' at Abbey Road on the River

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of the announcement by Apple Corps' head Neil Aspinall that Beatles fans will not have long to wait before they can download their fave Fab Four tunes, "Courier-Journal.com Abbey Road on the River," the ultimate Beatles and 60's rock Arts and Music Festival in America, announced all 13 core albums will be presented LIVE at the festival May 24 - 28, 2007, at the Belvedere Festival Park and Galt House Hotel & Suites in Louisville, Kentucky.

According to sources close to Apple Corps, the albums released on CD in 1987 have been re-mastered, and will be available for download in the coming months. In concert with this announcement, Gary Jacob, Abbey Road's producer remarked, "To celebrate this long-awaited digital revolution, we will present all 13 Beatles core albums, including the latest, LOVE, live ... Nowhere else in the world has this been done."

The album recreations will chronologically trace the release of each, from With the Beatles in 1963 to Let It Be in 1970, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the album commonly credited with launching the Summer of Love in June 1967.

And to further mark that anniversary "Abbey Road on the River" has added a fifth day, Memorial Day, May 28, to present the music of other bands from that seminal summer including The Mamas & The Papas, The Who, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and more!

The "Courier-Journal.com Abbey Road on the River" is any Beatles fan's dream. The bands come pint-sized, "mop-topped" and from as far away as Kyoto, Japan. There are 45 cover bands, and 25 re-creation bands, and they come to commemorate and celebrate the best rock band of the last century.
