The String Quartet Tribute to The Beatles
Instrumental | MP3 | 132~160 VBR | 64 MB | RS

String Quartet Tribute to the Beatles features wonderfully elegant renderings of several Beatles classics, and while it should come as no surprise that there are some gorgeous melodies on display here, the seemingly effortless construction of songs like “Come Together,” “Hello Goodbye,” and “All You Need Is Love” reveal hidden nuances in the melodies.

McCartney heeft een hart van de Amerikaanse leerlingen.

Sir Paul McCartney heeft een gitaar geschonken aan een goed doel. Met de opbrengst van de veiling zullen muziekinstrumenten gekocht worden voor leerlingen in Amerikaanse scholen.

September 23rd, 2007 by admin | No Comments | Filed in News

In late 2004, Mcfarlane Toys released an extremely popular set of Beatles action figures based on a 1960’s Saturday morning animated cartoon featuring the Beatles. Since the release, the Mcfarlane Beatles cartoon action figures have sold out quickly from retail store shelves. In a rare twist of fate, we have secured a small quantity of the Mcfarlane Beatles animated figures box sets that include all four Mcfarlane Beatles action figures, accessories, a drum, and even the crocodile as seen in the “Not A Second Time” episode. You can preorder these very popular Mcfarlane figures on our music action figures website now.

BUGS AND FRIENDS SING THE BEATLES (mp3)

September 23rd, 2007 by admin | No Comments | Filed in News

For some utterly silly reason, Tim from Radio Clash asked if I had a copy of “Bugs and Friends Sing The Beatles,” a collection of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and other Warner Bros. cartoon characters singing the Fab Four. Why would he think I could possibly own such a ridiculous album? I mean, I do, but that’s besides the point! Honestly, I’ve been meaning to trade it in for something serious. Maybe some Leonard Cohen. That’s how serious I am.

The Beatles Photographs by Michael Peto

18th August 2007 to 2 March 2008 @ National Conservation Centre, Whitechapel, Liverpool

A unique photographic exhibition of The Beatles is coming to the National Conservation Centre in August. ‘Now These Days Are Gone’ is an exhibition of informal shots, taken on the set of HELP! by Michael Peto, one of the great photojournalists of the 1960s.

Taken in 1965, they mark the metamorphosis of the Beatles from pop stars into the most famous band in history against the backdrop of a decade of great social and cultural change.

The exhibition of over 40 images demonstrates Peto’s unobtrusive approach, which enabled him to fade into the background and capture his subjects in a relaxed, natural manner.

These photographs of the Beatles came to light during the digitisation of Michale Peto’s collection of 130,000 prints and negatives, donated by his family to the University of Dundee following his death in 1970.

This exhibition has been produced by the University of Dundee, the custodians of the Michael Peto photographic collection.

Admission FREE.

Open 10am-5pm every day
