All the songs, even "Imagine" itself, are abbreviated, with the curious exception of "Twist and Shout," which Lennon didn't compose. Beatles producer George Martin, who expertly handled sound-mixing chores on virtually all the band's recordings and soundtracks over the last 25 years, should be strung up for the way he has remixed the music for this film, boosting the drums...
