Paul McCartney Tour Press Release:

Paul McCartney to End World Tour in Liverpool
Wed Apr 30, 7:55 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney will end his year-long world tour in his home town of Liverpool, birthplace of the Fab Four.

The last show takes place on June 1 near the banks of the River Mersey.

"I've been touring this show all around the world and we've been having a great time -- but it will be very special for me to now bring it on home to Liverpool," McCartney said in a statement on Wednesday.

"I've a feeling it will be a good and emotional ending to a wonderful year," he added.

McCartney began his tour in Oakland, California, in April 2002, playing 58 concerts in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Last month he began the 32-show European leg of the tour which includes concerts in Rome's Colosseum and Moscow's Red Square, before ending in Liverpool.

By the time the tour ends, nearly two million people will have paid to see the ex-Beatle play.

John Lennon's Imagine on ULTRADISC II Gold CD

Sebastopol, CA – Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) is extremely proud to announce the
forthcoming release of John Lennon’s Imagine on its revamped ULTRADISC II™ Gold CD series.

The music and message of this timeless masterpiece is fully realized via Mobile Fidelity's proprietary GAIN 2™ (Great Ambient Information Network) mastering process which enables the maximum amount of musical information to be extracted from the master media. This information is then stored transparently as a pure Direct Stream Digital (DSD) signal that is down converted by a powerful conversion process to Gold CD.

Utilizing updated remixes supervised by Yoko Ono herself, classic tracks such as “Imagine” and “Jealous Guy” are unveiled with sparkling detail and spectacular resolution. Listeners will literally surrender to the delicacy of “Oh My Love” and rally to protest anthems such as “Give Me Some Truth” and “I Don’t Want To Be A Soldier” as forgotten idealism is rekindled. From ferocity to fragility, MFSL’s mastering accompanies and refines the wide emotional range and sheer beauty that comprises Phil Spector's tasteful production of John Lennon’s Imagine.

ULTRADISC II™ Gold CDs from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab are a genuine phenomenon. Sealed copies often command astronomical prices on auction sites such as E-bay and ULTRADISC II™ versions of classic albums are generally considered unrivaled as the ultimate achievement in CD sound quality. MFSL's version of Imagine follows as the latest in a tradition of ultrasonic excellence appealing to music enthusiasts, collectors, and audiophiles alike.

Available July 22, 2003 on ULTRADISC II Gold CD

April 28, 2003 - Press Release:

First New George Harrison Music Video in 15 Years to Be Released

Entertainment Editors

HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2003--

If you don't know where you're going Any road will take you there

One of the standout tracks from the acclaimed "Brainwashed" album, "Any Road," on Dark Horse/EMI, will be serviced to radio next week.

The accompanying promo video includes previously unreleased footage that lovingly celebrates George's life. His humor and spirit are captured in the studio, in concert, casual shots and animated footage. "Any Road" is the first new George Harrison music video since "This is Love" from Cloud Nine in 1988.

Written by George Harrison, "Any Road" is produced by George, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison. The track features George on slide and acoustic guitars and banjulele; Jeff Lynne on bass, piano and backing vocals; Dhani Harrison on electric guitar and backing vocals; and Jim Keltner on drums.

Critics have embraced the album. Rolling Stone magazine gave the record a four star review, saying, "`Brainwashed' is a warm, frank goodbye. Fear and acceptance run together in these songs, anger as well as serenity. Most importantly, there are lots of guitars. Harrison died before he could finish 'Brainwashed.' But his co-producers -- his son Dhani and ELO's Jeff Lynne -- have completed the album with impressive sensitivity, to the point that Harrison feels immensely present ... It is a fine, enchanting epitaph."

The New York Times said, "The music is vintage Harrison: laid-back but by no means
underpowered, with melodies tugged between major and minor keys, and lyrics that are filled with humorous wordplay but are also cuttingly direct. Harrison's trademark slide guitar shines through everywhere and is particularly fluid in the instrumental `Marwa Blues' and at the start of 'Stuck Inside a Cloud.' This is not a guitarist who retired to the garden."

PR Newswire: The Beatles Anthology DVD Debuts at Number 1

LOS ANGELES, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Beatles Anthology DVD, released April 1, 2003, debuts at the number one position on Billboard's DVD MusicVideo Chart and on the Music Video Chart, having sold nearly 59,000 units in the first week. This is the biggest Music Video DVD boxset debut in the soundscan era.

The Beatles Anthology DVD is the apogee of a series, which continues to break records. The Beatles Anthology was first shown in 1995, when John, Paul, George and Ringo told The Beatles' story for the first time. The Anthology project caused a worldwide sensation as it launched the highest rated worldwide broadcast television event of the year. Directly following the TV special came three double-CD sets, all of which consecutively debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard charts, and which featured the first new Beatles recordings in 25 years -- "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love". In 1996, they released the series on VHS, which debuted at number one on the Billboard Music Video Chart, and in 1997, won 3 Grammy Awards -- Best Music Video Long Form for the Anthology VHS Box Set, and Best Music Video Short Form as well as Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the single "Free As A Bird". In 2000 Chronicle books published the best selling Beatles Anthology, which is now available in paperback.

The Beatles Anthology DVD boxset features all of the original eight episodes that candidly reveal the story of how the four lads from Liverpool changed everything. All 10 hours of the original Anthology series are on four DVD discs, but the boxset has an additional 81-minute fifth disc of special features which include the last jam session of Paul, George and Ringo playing non-Beatles material. Nearly all the footage on the special features disc has never been seen before.

Technically, the DVDs offer a spectacular audio/visual experience, featuring re-graded picture quality and new audio mastering including 5.1-surround sound and a new stereo PCM soundtrack.

"Like all great artists, The Beatles' music is timeless and their story continues to be relevant to all music lovers," says Capitol Records President and CEO Andrew Slater.

The Beatles catalog has taken major jumps on the Billboard Pop Catalog Chart this week, including the return to the #1 chart position for the Beatles 1 CD, with sales now approaching 9 million copies in the US alone.

Paul McCartney "Back In The World" Tour Update: BBC - Manchester Music - Paul McCartney @ MEN Arena - According to the setlist (see article sidebar), Paul dropped "Driving Rain," "Coming Up" and "Maybe I'm Amazed" and replaced them with "Things We Said Today", "Two of Us" and "I've Just Seen a Face" - possibly to preserve his voice.
