Free Kindle Beatles book worth at least a look


Happened to catch this book "Life on Two Legs" in the Amazon Kindle store yesterday. It's written by the founder of Trident Studios. The foreward is by Paul McCartney. The opening chapter talks about the recording of "Hey Jude." It's free, at least for now. (Prices are known to change without warning in the Kindle store, from my experience.) Worth at least checking out since it's free.

New Cilla Black compilations feature Lennon-McCartney and Lennon remixes, album produced by George Martin

"All Mixed Up"/"Beginnings
Revisited"  (Cherry Red Records)

Cherry Red Records has announced two new 2-CD Cilla Black compilations coming on July 20 -- "Surround Yourself With Cilla"/"It Makes Me Feel Good" and "All Mixed Up"/"Beginnings Revisited."  (Order from Amazon.co.uk here.) The second, however, will be of special interest since it includes dance remixes of a Lennon-McCartney song she recorded "Step Inside Love" and  reworked versions of John Lennon's "Imagine" and Ringo's "Photograph."

The two titles each combine lineups of two previously released CDs. "All Mixed Up"/"Beginnings Revisited" were her last two CDs.  "Beginnings Revisited" featured new versions of early songs.  George Martin produced "Surround Yourself With Cilla," which featured cover versions of songs by the Bee Gees, Paul Simon and Harry Nilsson.  Each set also includes a Cilla interview.
