Paul McCartney: 'LIVE KISSES'

PAUL McCARTNEY
'LIVE KISSES'
New Film Released 12th November 2012

Relive The Magic Of One Of Paul's Most Intimate Concerts Ever As He Performs Standards From His Critically Acclaimed Album 'Kisses On The Bottom'

November 12th 2012
Pre-order coming soon to www.PaulMcCartney.com

Package includes spectacular concert footage with a cast of top-flight musicians, exclusive promo videos directed by Paul himself, behind the scenes interviews and a 40 page hardback book featuring an extensive collection of photographs from the event and rehearsals.

November 12th will see the release of 'Live Kisses' - a stunning 13-song film, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, that captures the magic of an extraordinary evening in February of this year. In the intimate surroundings of Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, where Paul recorded much of his 'Kisses On The Bottom' album, he was reunited with the all-star musicians who joined him on the record to bring the songs to life for a once in a lifetime performance.

This was a concert unlike any Paul had given before. Without his famous Höfner bass in hand or in fact any musical instruments, Paul took his place behind the same microphone that has captured some of the most iconic voices in history to focus on his vocal delivery as he led the assembled A-list group of musicians through a collection of the standards he grew up listening to in his childhood, as well as his own original composition 'My Valentine'.

Streamed live to the world online, 'Live Kisses' marked the launch of Paul's 'Kisses On The Bottom' album. The film tells the story of how, with the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma, Diana Krall and her band, Paul created a critically acclaimed album, which featured guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder. The record represents a deeply personal journey through classic American compositions that a young Paul first heard his father perform on piano at home. Upon its release 'Kisses…' topped the US Billboard Jazz album chart at number 1, as well as charting top 5 all around the world.

On the night the all-star line up were reunited to include musical director Diana Krall (piano), John Clayton (bass), Karriem Riggins (drums), John Pizzarelli (guitar), Anthony Wilson (guitar), Mike Mainieri (vibraphone) and conductor Alan Broadbent. Tommy LiPuma and Al Schmitt resumed their roles in the studio and special guest musicians on the evening included Abe Laboriel Jr (from Paul's touring band) on backing vocals and Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. Walsh performed the 'My Valentine' guitar solo originally recorded by Eric Clapton on the studio album.

The concert was performed just hours after Paul brought Vine Street in LA to a standstill as he was presented with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Capitol Records Building. The night of the concert (February 9th) was also the 48th anniversary of The Beatles' U.S. TV debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Bonus 'Live Kisses' material includes six versions of the 'My Valentine' music video, directed by Paul and starring Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman as well as a 'Making My Valentine' film. There are also two short films with behind the scenes footage filmed at the Mary McCartney album photoshoot for 'Kisses On The Bottom'. The final extra is an interview with Paul and producer Tommy LiPuma talking about the story of the album, its conception and creation.

'Live Kisses' is an intimate and charming concert film which offers an insight into the music and songwriters that inspired Paul to go on to become the most successful songwriter and performer in modern history. Beautifully presented, 'Live Kisses' comes with a 40-page hardback book containing photographs from the day itself, including the rehearsals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see is the product of our imaginations and believe me, at this point they are quite vivid" Paul

The Beatles' Classic 1967 Feature Film Restored For Worldwide DVD and Blu-Ray Release on October 8th

Check out the BRAND NEW TRAILER at www.thebeatles.com

In September 1967, The Beatles loaded a film crew onto a bus along with friends, family and cast and headed west on the A30 out of London to make their third film, this time conceived and directed by The Beatles themselves.

"Paul said, 'Look I've got this idea' and we said 'great!' and all he had was this circle and a little dot on the top - that's where we started." (Ringo)

In the wake of the extraordinary impact of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album and the One World satellite broadcast of All You Need Is Love, The Beatles devised, wrote and directed their third film, Magical Mystery Tour, a dreamlike story of a coach day trip to the seaside.

The film features a fabulous supporting cast of character actors and performers, (including Ivor Cutler, Victor Spinetti, Jessie Robins, Nat Jackley, Derek Royle, and the inimitable Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band).

Apple Films have fully restored the long out-of-print, classic feature film for October 8th release worldwide (October 9th in North America) on DVD and Blu-ray with a remixed soundtrack (5.1 and stereo) and special features.

A special, boxed deluxe edition will also be available, and, for the first time ever, there will be a limited theatrical release from September 27th.

This new release also feature three new edits of some of the song performances, as well as scenes that were cut out of the original film.

Taschen: Harry Benson. The Beatles

Más allá de la beatlemanía

A comienzos de 1964, Harry Benson se disponía a subir a un avión rumbo a África, donde debía realizar un reportaje fotográfico, cuando recibió una llamada del responsable de fotografía del diario londinense The Daily Express. Cambio de planes: debía viajar con los Beatles a París para documentar la beatlemanía en Francia, en la que sería la mayor aventura de su vida.

Benson obtuvo pleno acceso al entorno privado de los Beatles y tomó algunas de las imágenes más íntimas de la banda, por entonces lanzada a la conquista del mundo. En París fue el autor de la archiconocida foto de los Fab Four en plena batalla de almohadas en el hotel George V. Él fue quien documentó su primera visita a Estados Unidos, el verdadero alcance de la histeria en Nueva York, su famosa aparición en el programa de Ed Sullivan, la estancia de la banda en Florida, donde los acompañó en su sorprendente encuentro con Cassius Clay y durante el rodaje de ¡Qué noche la de aquel día! La relación continuó en 1966 e incluyó la luna de miel de George en Barbados y la polémica gira por Estados Unidos, marcada por las palabras de Lennon poco tiempo antes: «somos más conocidos que Jesucristo».



Las luminosas fotografías en blanco y negro de Benson muestran de cerca a los Beatles mientras componían, actuaban, hablaban con los fans, se relajaban e interactuaban unos con otros, al tiempo que intentaban asimilar una fama que cada vez les aislaba más del mundo exterior. El libro incluye varios cientos de fotografías (muchas hasta ahora inéditas) y una introducción del propio Benson, así como recortes de prensa y comentarios diversos de la época.

Edición de coleccionista, con 1.764 copias, todas ellas numeradas y autografiadas por el fotógrafo. Disponible también en dos tiradas Art Edition de 100 ejemplares cada una, que incluyen una impresión en gelatina de plata.
