20 YEARS AFTER THE FROG SONG MACCA HUMS NEW SINGLE FOR KIDS

More on: www.paulmccartney.com

PAUL McCARTNEY is to release his first single for children in 20 years - recording a flipside to the Frog Song.
Two decades after the original frog song, We All Stand Together, went to No.3 in the UK charts, Paul is releasing a new kids song - Tropic Island Hum - for the children of the children who bought the nursery favourite in 1984.
Tropic Island Hum is the title track of a new children’s animation film created by Paul McCartney.
Said Paul: “I don’t often write songs deliberately for children but we made this new film for kids and the film needed a song. As a songwriter I’m always interested in trying to write music in different styles, so I took the challenge of trying to write another one for kids”.
A limited edition single will be issued by EMI Records on September 20th. The CD will feature Tropic Island Hum along with the original recording of We All Stand Together, to mark the 20th anniversary of the long-ago deleted amphibian anthem.
Both songs are written by Paul McCartney and sung by a chorus of animals.
The film Tropic Island Hum will introduce a new cartoon character, Wirral the squirrel. The short film, which follows the cheeky Scouse squirrel on an adventure to an island animal sanctuary, will be released on DVD on September 27th as one of a package of three cartoons created by Paul and titled

Paul McCartney: The Music And Animation Collection.

The collection will also feature the award-winning Rupert And The Frog Song and another Macca frog flick, Tuesday.

The CD single Tropic Island Hum is the first release from Paul McCartney since he recently headlined the Glastonbury Festival.
Said Paul: “I shouldn’t imagine that too many of the Glastonbury bands would follow performing Helter Skelter there with releasing a single for children by a cartoon squirrel, but it’s ringing the changes like this which keeps me interested in the possibilities of life”.

Release 23 June, 2004

NEW BEATLES-release: "LET IT BE...NAKED",

as it was meant to be...
Release: November 17th, 2003.

Here's the Beates official website press-release about the new release...

AT LAST AS NATURE INTENDED THE BEATLES' "LET IT BE...NAKED"

At last revealed - The Beatles album that has taken more than 30 years to finish, Let It Be...Naked, just the bare sound of the band inside The Beatles. Let It BeŠNaked is the no frills, back-to-basics album that The Beatles first set out to make back in 1969 - but which was never released as they intended, the band back to the bone. Now, through the smart digital technology of Abbey Road studios, the never-heard band's take of the original sessions will be finally released worldwide by EMI Records in November. Naked is Let It Be brought right up to now for the '1 Generation', de-mixed and re-mixed, un-dubbed of orchestration, choirs and effects and stripped-back to the raw to reveal The Beatles simply as what they were very best at being just a great band. "If we'd have had today's technology back then, it would sound like this because this is the noise we made in the studio", said Paul McCartney "It's all exactly as it was in the room. You're right there now". "When I first heard it, it was really uplifting. It took you back again to the times when we were this band, the Beatle band", said Ringo Starr.

When The Beatles first set out to make the album in 1969, they intended to record an album that would be a return to live performance of just the bare necessities of the band, no studio effects or overdubbing of voices or instruments would be allowed. However, caught in the turmoil of the break-up of the band, the album was re-produced by Phil Spector and never released as The Beatles had originally meant it to sound. Until now. Let It BeŠNaked's track listing differs from the 1970 release; background dialogue, 'Dig It' and 'Maggie Mae' have been taken off the album and 'Don't Let Me Down' has been added to the running order, which now is as follows: Get Back, Dig APony, For You Blue, The Long And Winding Road, Two Of Us, I've Got A Feeling, One After 909, Don't Let Me Down, I Me Mine, Across The Universe, Let It Be. Let It BeŠNaked will be issued together with a bonus fly-on-the-wall disc that features extracts from tapes of The Beatles at the time of first making the Let It Be album and movie in the Sixties. The 20-minute bonus disc is a unique insight into The Beatles at work in rehearsal and in the studios in January 1969. Let It BeŠNaked will also come with a booklet that features historic photography of the recording sessions and extracts of band dialogue from the original booklet that first accompanied early copies of the 1970 album.

Released worldwide from November 17th, Let It BeŠNaked is the sound of The Beatles as nature intended; raw and rocking. "The music always surpassed any bullshit we were going through; once the count-in happened we turned back into those brothers and musicians."

RINGO STARR "It's just us playing, in our best voices, it's very honest".

GEORGE HARRISON "For all our success The Beatles were always a great little band. When we sat down to play, we played good".

PAUL McCARTNEY "In spite of all things, The Beatles could really play music together"
