Artist Steve McLaughlin took the twelve UK studio albums released by the Beatles, compressed them into one hour of fast-tastic Beatles insanity and put it online for all to enjoy. To top it all off, three tracks have been separated from the one-hour track and slowed back to their original speed, producing one of the most bizarre listening experiences imaginable. picked by pedestrian 2 years ago
