Beatles Release White Vinyl Reissue of 'A Hard Day's Night' for LP's 60th Anniversary

Something else not really new from the Beatles: Details: Today, The Beatles have announced a special 60th anniversary reissue of their third studio album A Hard Day’s Night, in celebration of National Album Day. The limited edition reissue on 180g White Vinyl will be released on October 19th. At a time when popstars either spoke BBC English or tried to emulate the American rockers they so idolised, there was no hiding where The Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Ringo Starr – came from: they sang, as they spoke, in a Liverpool accent. Although the demands of the music business meant they soon had to relocate to London, in many ways they never left their city – in song and in story, the group are inextricably, indelibly linked to Merseyside. Recorded between January and June 1964 and released that July, if ever there was a pointer to what an album could achieve, it's the 13 songs and 31 minutes of A Hard Day's Night, the third long-player by the Beatles

Mojo Announces Deluxe Lennon and McCartney Mag: 'The Two of Us 1957-2024'

Order here . Details: Bringing together the finest writing on the two songwriters who, with both The Beatles and their solo careers, changed the course of music forever, MOJO The Collectors’ Series: Lennon & McCartney Deluxe Anthology Edition brings together MOJO’s two sold-out special editions charting the work of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in one sumptuous single volume. In December 1963, The Times described John Lennon and Paul McCartney as “the greatest composers since Beethoven” – praise indeed, especially since at that point their extraordinary journey as songwriters had barely begun. In the following years, the songs John and Paul wrote for The Beatles would not only mirror the exciting new possibilities that the 1960s offered but invented a new musical language that, with Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and The White Album, transformed pop and rock into a serious artform. As solo artists, Lennon and McCartney would continue to make music that thrilled, challenged and inspired. Pa

Hear Lucinda Williams' Sing 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' -- Teaser for Her New Beatles Covers Album

An unexpected Fabs cover that's pretty great, IMO. More info on Williams' Beatles covers LP from JamBase : For her first Lu’s Jukebox in four years, Williams takes aim at The Beatles catalog. Upping the ante, she recorded the covers album at the studio The Fab Four made famous, London’s Abbey Road. Williams also puts a stamp on history as the first major artist to record Beatles songs in the space where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr recorded nearly all of their albums, then called EMI Studios. The Beatles named their final recorded album after the street EMI was on, Abbey Road, and shot the record’s iconic cover on the Abbey Road crossing. The name of the recording facility was changed to Abbey Road in 1976. Williams tackles both Beatles classics (“Can’t Buy Me Love,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Something”) and deeper cuts (“I’m So Tired,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” “Yer Blues”) on the 12-track record.
