PAUL McCARTNEY PLAYS NEW ALBUM FOR 30 FANS IN L.A

On Thursday evening, April 16, Paul McCartney treated 30 lucky followers to an exclusive first listen of his upcoming solo project, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. Held at Andrew Watt’s fresh Diamond Dust studio in L.A., the duo broke down the creative process for every song before hitting play. A high-energy McCartney, fresh off his recent local gigs, charmed the crowd with heartwarming Beatles memories and several evocative new tracks.

A group of fans was bussed from the Capitol Records Tower to the studio location. While his appearance remained unverified beforehand, the sight of two deep-red velvet chairs, three guitars, and high-end speaker stacks suggested the legend would indeed be present. At approximately 7 p.m. PT, Watt and Paul—accompanied by Nancy Shevell—made their entrance, with Paul humorously gesturing as if he were playing an invisible instrument.

“We’re going to play the album and we’re going to explain how we made it,” McCartney said, adding, “Welcome my missus, Nancy.”

Over the course of nearly an hour and a half, a remarkably talkative Paul explored the production of the record. He began by recounting his initial meeting with the 35-year-old, Grammy-winning Watt. Formerly known for his work with pop stars like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, Watt has recently established himself as the premier producer for rock royalty, including the Rolling Stones and Elton John.

At the suggestion of his manager, Paul met Watt for a “cup of tea,” but they immediately began noodling around and trading licks and “I’m like, ‘okay, we’re going to work together,” Paul said. “Sometimes, I like to find a crazy chord and [find] maybe that will inspire me,” he said, grabbing an acoustic guitar from behind him to replicate the chord. The small audience burst into applause, leading Paul to joke, “it wasn’t that good.” From there, they came up with the opening track and began working on the album, which was recorded in Los Angeles and England.

“When I first met Andrew, I thought, ‘He’s a bit pushy,’” Paul said. “And he is, but that’s what you want in a producer. You don’t want a shrinking violet.”

ON THIS DAY ... 16 APRIL ...

On this day 16 April :

1961: The Beatles perform at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg

1962: The group takes the stage at the Star-Club in Hamburg

1964:

Ed Sullivan conducted an interview with the group in London while they were filming "A Hard Day's Night." Between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm at Studio 2, the band recorded nine takes of the title track "A Hard Day's Night" under the guidance of producer George Martin and engineers Norman Smith and Geoff Emerick.

Production begins on the film "A Hard Day’s Night". Later that afternoon, production moved to St. John's Secondary School for a police station sequence, followed by location shooting at Heathsfield Street and "The Portland Arms" pub, though the latter scene was eventually cut.

1965:

At Wembley TV Studios in Middlesex, John and George sat down for an interview on the television show "Ready Steady Go!"

1966:

During an afternoon and late-night session in Studio 2, the band worked on "Rain," performing overdubs and tape reductions to create takes 6 through 8. George Martin, Geoff Emerick, and Richard Lush also supervised the initial four mono remixes of the song from take 7.

1967:

The Saville Theatre hosted a series of performances featuring The Impressions, Bo Diddley, Ben E. King, and the Alan Bown Set.

This day marked the transition from the song's second demo to its official studio recording.

The single "It Don't Come Easy" backed with "Early 1970" was officially released in the United Kingdom.

1973: Audio mixing for the Wings Over Europe concert series

1993: Paul McCartney delivers a live set at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles

2002: Paul McCartney plays a concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia

2021: Release of the remix and cover project McCartney III Imagined

2024: A digitally enhanced version of the Let It Be documentary debuts on Disney+, Press release:

Today, Disney+ announced that Let It Be, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s original 1970 film about The Beatles, will launch exclusively on Disney+ May 8, 2024. This is the first time the film is available in over 50 years.

First released in May 1970 amidst the swirl of The Beatles’ breakup, Let It Be now takes its rightful place in the band’s history. Once viewed through a darker lens, the film is now brought to light through its restoration and in the context of revelations brought forth in Peter Jackson’s multiple Emmy Award®-winning docuseries, The Beatles: Get Back. Released on Disney+ in 2021, the docuseries showcases the iconic foursome’s warmth and camaraderie, capturing a pivotal moment in music history.

Let It Be contains footage not featured in the Get Back docuseries, bringing viewers into the studio and onto Apple Corps’ London rooftop in January 1969 as The Beatles, joined by Billy Preston, write and record their GRAMMY Award®-winning album Let It Be, with its Academy Award®-winning title song, and perform live for the final time as a group. With the release of The Beatles: Get Back, fan clamour for the original Let It Be film reached a fever pitch. With Lindsay-Hogg’s full support, Apple Corps asked Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production to dive into a meticulous restoration of the film from the original 16mm negative, which included lovingly remastering the sound using the same MAL de-mix technology that was applied to the Get Back docuseries.

Michael Lindsay-Hogg says, “Let It Be was ready to go in October/November 1969, but it didn’t come out until April 1970. One month before its release, The Beatles officially broke up. And so the people went to see Let It Be with sadness in their hearts, thinking, ‘I’ll never see The Beatles together again. I will never have that joy again,’ and it very much darkened the perception of the film. But, in fact, how often do you get to see artists of this stature working together to make what they hear in their heads into songs. And then you get to the roof and you see their excitement, camaraderie and sheer joy in playing together again as a group and know, as we do now, that it was the final time, and we view it with full understanding of who they were and still are and a little poignancy. I was knocked out by what Peter was able to do with Get Back, using all the footage I’d shot 50 years previously.”

“I’m absolutely thrilled that Michael’s movie, Let It Be, has been restored and is finally being re-released after being unavailable for decades,” says Peter Jackson. “I was so lucky to have access to Michael’s outtakes for Get Back, and I’ve always thought that Let It Be is needed to complete the Get Back story. Over three parts, we showed Michael and The Beatles filming a groundbreaking new documentary, and Let It Be is that documentary – the movie they released in 1970. I now think of it all as one epic story, finally completed after five decades. The two projects support and enhance each other: Let It Be is the climax of Get Back, while Get Back provides a vital missing context for Let It Be. Michael Lindsay-Hogg was unfailingly helpful and gracious while I made Get Back, and it’s only right that his original movie has the last word… looking and sounding far better than it did in 1970.”

Let It Be, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, stars John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, with a special appearance by Billy Preston. The film was produced by Neil Aspinall with The Beatles acting as executive producers. The director of photography was Anthony B Richmond.

Let It Be will debut exclusively on Disney+ May 8, 2024.

RINGO STARR’s FAVORITE SANDWICH

During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a special preference of Ringo’s for a certain type of sandwich was revealed.

When asked about it, Ringo shared that he is very fond of an incredibly simple yet unique snack: a goat cheese sandwich.

This came to light during the host's recurring segment, "The Colbert Questionnaire," where Ringo explained his love for the straightforward sandwich and his reasoning for choosing goat cheese over cow's milk cheese.

"I don't have many of them anymore, but the cheese [sandwiches]," Ringo Starr replied. "It has to be goat cheese now... I don't eat anything from the cow."
