PASSIONE BEATLES – 2015

BeatlesPlanet



I Fab Four hanno segnato indelebilmente la storia della musica. E questo, giovani o meno, lo sappiamo tutti. Quello che ci stupisce ancora è che continuino a venire alla luce elementi che arricchiscono l’immagine della band musicale più studiata e analizzata di tutti i tempi. Eppure accade e, quando succede, si ricomincia a parlarne, citando pezzi di canzoni e aneddoti appena scovati su John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrisone Ringo Starr. Questa stagione è particolarmente prodiga di nuovi e interessanti libri sui Beatles. A cominciare da The Beatles Lyrycs: è davvero bello e contiene una straordinaria collezione di documenti inediti – disegni, annotazioni su pezzi di carta, appunti un tempo considerati carta straccia – riprodotti con le correzioni e le riscritture originali.

Le novità da leggere sulla band di Liverpool sono parecchie: Federico Rampini dedica ai Beatles un libro per spiegare l’economia con i testi delle loro canzoni; Guesdon e Margotin si calano in maniera maniacale nei testi per spiegarne il processo creativo; John McMilian si concentra sulla storica rivalità tra i Beatles e i Rolling Stones per svelare come sia stata artificialmente creata dalle case discografiche. Insomma, intorno a Beatles c’è ancora un mondo da scoprire. E tante canzoni da riascoltare.

– I BEATLES IN MOSTRA A ROMA –

A Roma il 29 maggio “In the Fog and in the Rain –

 I Beatles visti attraverso le foto scattate dalle Apple Scruffs”. 

I BEATLES in mostra a Roma

In concomitanza con l’attesissimo “Sgt. Pepper’s Show” che si terrà il prossimo 29 maggio 2015 a Roma, nel foyer del Teatro Olimpico sarà possibile visitare gratuitamente la mostra “In the Fog and in the Rain – I Beatles visti attraverso le foto scattate dalle Apple Scruffs” a cura di “The Official Beatles Fan Club Pepperland”.

Si tratta di una serie di scatti effettuati in prossimità della sede della Apple, l’etichetta discografica fondata dagli stessi Beatles sita in Savile Row a Londra, da Isabelle Berthet. Isabelle era un’Apple Scruffs, vale a dire una di quelle ammiratrici dei Beatles che stazionavano e a volte dormivano all’esterno dell’edificio della Apple Corps e alle porte degli Abbey Road Studios, durante gli ultimi giorni della Beatlemania e anche successivamente, nella speranza di vedere i membri della band e interagire con loro. Gli stessi Beatles dedicarono più di una canzone a queste ragazze che sfidando “la nebbia e la pioggia” cercavano di ottenere un autografo dai loro beniamini o immortalarli in uno scatto.

Le 62 foto proposte nella mostra sono inedite e costituiscono un’importante testimonianza dell’ultimo periodo dei Beatles. Le immagini saranno riprodotte anche nel catalogo della mostra, con una breve biografia di Isabelle Berthet e alcune note descrittive delle Apple Scruffs.

The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour in Dvd dall’8 ottobre, 2012

Uscirà il prossimo 8 ottobre,
in tutto il mondo, il
Magical Mystery Tour dei Beatles in Dvd!

Beatles, per la festa dei 50 anni
torna “Magical Mystery Tour”

L’ANNIVERSARIO – Realizzato dai Fab Four nel 1967, il film fu stroncato dalla critica inglese ma fu subito chiaro che sarebbe diventato un cult. Oggi riesce in dvd e Blu-ray nella versione restaurata.

GUARDA IL VIDEO IN ANTEPRIMA:
THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (HD)

Era il 1967 quando la band inventa, scrive e dirige il film di una fantastica giornata al mare in pullman.

Sarà una versione totalmente restaurata -attualmente fuori catalogo e non disponibile- quella che ci aspetta, grazie alla Apple Films. Ecco le versioni diponibili: DVD e Blu-ray e una deluxe edition box 10”x10. Proprio quest’ultima versione include il il dvd e Blu-ray insieme ad un libro di 60 pagine con notizie, informazioni, curiosità. E, se questo non vi basta, potrete stringere tra le mani il doppio EP su vinile da 7” pubblicato negli Uk durante l’uscita della pellicola.

Il film, trasmesso dalla Bbc nel Natale del 1967, venne accolto con un’ondata di critiche dalla stampa inglese, non venne quindi mai trasmesso negli Usa ed ebbe una circolazione molto limitata nelle sale. Il film oggi è considerato un cult movie e verrà proiettato contemporaneamente nelle sale di diversi paesi del mondo, tra i quali Regno Unito, Stati Uniti, Canada, Australia, Giappone (dettagli su www. beatles. com) e Italia, nel circuito Nexo Digital, in collaborazione con Emi Music Italy e in partnership con MYmovies e Radio Capital. L’edizione deluxe includerà sia il DVD che il Blu-ray, un libro di 60 pagine e una replica del doppio EP su vinile pubblicato nel 1967.
