The Beatles

Capitol Albums

Capitol Albums
The Beatles - The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 (4CD box set)
This is how The Beatles came to America - Capitol Records had their own compilations.
Many of us grew up listening to them this way - in exactly these track sequences, and sometimes
with more echo than on the UK versions. Now for the first time on CD, in their original artwork,
featuring both stereo on mono US versions of the albums on each disc:

Meet The Beatles! - The Beatles' Second Album - Something New - Beatles '65

Yellow Submarine Book

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (book!)
You know the CD, you know the DVD. Did you know that there is a brand-new book out, too?
This is a wonderful, a colorful book which tells the well-known story, using Heinz Edelmann's
original art from the movie. Great for the kids who want to know more behind the songs. And
I bet YOU will also enjoy reading it!

Lennon 2DVD set
John Lennon: Lennon Legend & Gimme Some Truth (2DVD set)
Now available in many countries: a 2 DVD set of this previously available titles. What makes
those DVDs so special - Lennon Legend is videos of John's greatest solo songs, presented
in absolute stunning and crisp picture and unbelievably great 5.1 remixes! The same goes for
Gimmie Some Truth which is a documentary on the making of the Imagine album, again remixed
into 5.1 sound. And mind you, these are not mock 5.1 remixes. They were all done using the
multitrack tapes, at Abbey Road Studios in London, England! Of course, both discs come with
lots of bonus stuff.

Paul McCartney

Each One Believing (book)

Presented here are the best shots from Paul's 2002/2003 tours, starting right after 9/11,
until the legendary concert in Moscow. And these aren't just concert photos - on stage,
off stage and backstage says the book title - and there are many special moments
captured inside, like meeting Gorbachev, Jack Nicholson or Brian Wilson. Caroline
Grimshaw put together all the detailed background information. This book is really
extraordinary, I have never seen any book that's been put together so well. If you love
Paul, you will definitely need it!

This is the November 29, 2002 tribute concert for George,
organized by Eric Clapton, with the performances of most
of Georges's closest friends, including our Sir Paul.
Watching either of these DVDs - it's a most moving,
absolutely intense experience.  Whatever they did -
the atmosphere coming from the 5.1 music, or the edit of
amazing shots taken from the many cameras - it does
feel like being there. It does get me every time, leaving
a very deep impression. Keep your tissues ready.
