The Mail on Sunday (MoS), one of the U.K.’s best-selling national Sunday newspapers, claims it has established itself as a music distribution brand-leader with its controversial CD “cover-mounts” campaign which this month sees it giving away “Memory Almost Full,” Sir Paul McCartney’s current studio album.

The album, originally released in June 2007 on the Starbucks Entertainment/Concord Music Group-owned Hear Music label, will be offered for free with the newspaper’s May 18 issue.

“Memory Almost Full” entered the U.K. top 10 last June and has sold 100,000 copies to date, according to the Official U.K. Charts Company. The MoS hopes McCartney’s album will emulate the success of Prince, who gave away his newly released “Planet Earth” CD with the newspaper last July (Billboard, June 27, 2007).

“As far as we’re concerned, Paul McCartney is the biggest name in music, and we’ve made a great deal of effort to establish ourselves as a brand leader in this form of music distribution,” says Peter Wright, the MoS editor. “We had a huge success with Prince and we expect to do something reasonably close to that with Paul McCartney.”

The MoS sold an extra 600,000 copies on top of its normally weekly circulation of about 2.2 million copies when it gave away the Prince album. But the newspaper angered the U.K. music-retail sector and Sony BMG opted not to release the album in the United Kingdom.

Trade body ERA (Entertainment Retailers Association) even filed an official complaint against the MoS to newspaper-circulation auditor ABC. ERA described the cover-mount at the time as “a blatant attempt by the MoS to skew its circulation figures” (Billboard.biz, July 12, 2007). ERA did not respond to calls for comment today.

However, at U.K. market-leading music merchant HMV, a spokesman says: “As a music specialist, our principal concern is that we should always have an equal opportunity to make any recording available to our customers, which we do in this case. This is not something we would consider ideal, but we have always had enormous respect for Paul McCartney, including the fact that he is consistently looking for new and innovative ways to engage with his fanbase.”

He added: “We will also keep an eye on sales of this title and other McCartney catalog to see if the promotion, and the increased profile that will come with it, acts as a stimulus for increased sales in any way.”

The MoS had also angered many in the music industry when it pressed 3 million units of “Tubular Bells,” Mike Oldfield’s 1973 album, to distribute as a free covermount in April 2007.
The newspaper, which has traditionally boosted sales by giving away free gifts as a reader incentive, has since tied up similar free-CD agreements with other artists such as UB40, and Simply Red.

Wright is unrepentant. “Recorded music is now a way of getting music known so that fans will go to the concerts,” he declares. “What we’re doing is supportive of the music industry.”

Culture officials today confirmed the band had been signed up for the special Capital of Culture event.

Sir Paul said today: “It should be a whole lot of fun.

“Final details of the concert have yet to be announced, so I don’t want to give too much away.

“But this is a great start.”

Further names for the concert are to be announced in coming weeks, including what is being described as “a very special international superstar guest”.

An extra 4,000 tickets also go on sale today after it was agreed to increase the audience capacity for the stadium concert.

Added to that will be a special allocation of 500 tickets reserved for community groups, schools and charities in the Anfield and Breckfield area.

Today’s announcement comes after months of speculation over who will perform at the high-profile concert.

It is being headlined by the 65-year-old former Beatle and is expected to be one of the highlights of Capital of Culture year.

Culture Company chief executive Kris Donaldson said: “We’re really excited, the Kaiser Chiefs are one of the hottest and biggest selling bands in the UK.”

The Kaiser Chiefs rose to fame in 2004 with their debut album Employment, and have enjoyed a string of hits including Every Day I Love You Less And Less, I Predict A Riot and Ruby.

Later this summer fans will also be able to see the band at Creamfields.

An initial 27,500 tickets for the Liverpool Sound were sold via a special ballot launched in September 2007. The new tickets mean the total capacity for the concert is nearly 36,000.

BBC2 will broadcast highlights from the concert on the evening of the show, while Radio 2 will also be covering the event.

Knuth Hall was at near capacity as audience members were clapping and dancing in the aisles on Friday’s evening concert of the Afro-Cuban Ensemble.

Director John Calloway led the way as the 23-piece ensemble along with nine vocalists filled the 320 seat theater with the sound of Latin renditions of classic Beatles’ songs including “Hey Jude,” “Blackbird,” and “Eleanor Rigby.”
“I had a blast. I got up there and danced. It was so vibrant,” said SF State student Norina Miller, a senior majoring in dance and liberal studies.
The Afro-Cuban Ensemble, which has been a fixture at SF State since 1999, is made up of both majors and non-majors from the music department.
“We rehearse once a week. We have two concerts a year at school and we also play outside of school as a community service for many organizations,” Calloway said.
The evening’s concert included seven Beatles’ compositions out of a total of 11 musical selections. Some were played instrumentally and a couple were translated into Spanish including “Una Rosa Espanola (You Never Give Me Your Money) and “With a Little Help From My Friends.”
Members of the ensemble came and went between musical numbers, leaving a unique group of musicians and vocalists each time. Singers sambaed and salsa danced from behind their microphone stands along with each vocal.
By the final number, audience members completely surrounded the stage dancing. A rousing standing ovation and spectators shouting, “Encore! Encore!” encouraged one additional number.
“It was an inspiration to groove,” said Olivia Granado. Granado teaches at San Francisco’s Sanchez Elementary School alongside Calloway. Granado and her friends were so inspired that they were going to find a place in the city to continue dancing.
The Afro-Cuban Ensemble, which plays a variety of Latin music, will play at Anna’s Jazz Island in Berkeley on May 21 and the San Francisco Carnival on May 25, Calloway said.
