Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell: The Original Tour on DVD

It’s visual proof of the power of Bat Out Of Hell, which certified 10x Platinum and sold over 40 Million copies. Also included is a bonus interview from 1978 with Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman.

Pirate Radio: The Movie

October 30, 2009

pirate-poster(P.R.) Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.

Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ship’s captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris O’Dowd); ladies’ magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton); reporter News John (Will Adamsdale); and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…

As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don’t know is that back in London, landlocked government minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal – permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before.

Bowie: A Biography

October 6, 2009

bowiebio(Kayos)–He is a style icon and music legend. A master of reinvention. An innovator whose absence from the rock scene for much of this decade has left a void—a void that proves how vital he has been for these past forty years. To fill that void comes BOWIE: A Biography (Crown; October 27, 2009), a David Bowie biography like no other.

Rock ’n’ roll journalist Marc Spitz charts the long and storied arc of Bowie’s life, from his childhood in postwar England as David Jones—an R & B–loving kid torn between suburban comfort and the fast and rough London of the sixties—to his reincarnation as a utopian hippie mime, to his ascent in the seventies as one of the most influential cultural figures of the last half century.

In a major work that was years in the making, Spitz not only recounts Bowie’s career, he also reveals how much his music has influenced other musicians and how his life and style influenced the times in which he lived. BOWIE takes a fresh and in-depth look at the decades that formed the artist, from postwar England to the advent of rock ’n’ roll, as well as the times that Bowie shaped so powerfully, from the seventies “me decade” up until the information age.

With more than one hundred original interviews with those who knew him best, BOWIE offers fresh insight and unforgettable stories about the rock legend. Interviewees include childhood friend George Underwood, Peter Frampton, Angie Bowie, former manager Kenneth Pitt, mentor Lindsay Kemp, author Hanif Kureishi, Siouxsie Sioux, Dick Cavett, Jon Savage, Steve Strange, Camille Paglia, guitarist Reeves Gabrels, filmmaker Todd Haynes, and Ricky Gervais. Little known details about Bowie include the rock legend’s strange fascination with speaking in riddles, his refusal to use elevators, his insistence on hiding knives under his bed, and his secret friendship with Frank Sinatra.

Spitz reflects with humor and infectious energy on how growing up with Bowie and writing this exhaustive history changed him in ways that he never expected. Never before published photographs complete this inspired exploration of a true rock ’n’ roll revolutionary.

Rush Drummer Serves Up “Good Simple Food” Tips And Recipes Online

July 9, 2009

npeart

“If you want to impress a woman, bake her a pie.” That’s what Neil Peart’s alter-ego Bubba advises in the mission statement for Bubba’s Bar ’n’ Grill - the new cooking section - on his web site www.neilpeart.net.

Neil (or Bubba) goes on to say “I have learned a few things about preparing good simple food that might be worth sharing. In this space I will assemble and present some of that lore, along with some simple recipes, because it seems a shame that other Bubbas (of any gender and ethnicity) should have to suffer the foolishness of my youth — I was in my forties before I learned to cook anything more complicated than soft-boiled eggs.”

We’ll definitely be stopping by Bubba’s on a regular basis to see what’s cooking — and how to cook it — and you can check out today’s menu at Bubba’s right here.

moodysisledvdClassicRockForever Fathers Day Gift Idea: (PR) Eagle Vision will release The Moody Blues:  Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 on DVD for the first time May 26.
 
This is the legendary much talked-about 79-minute 11-song performance that The Moody Blues—at the height of their popularity and creative powers—totally entranced the hippie audience with on a hot night in August off the coast of England. Bonus material includes a 20-minute documentary keying in on the behind-the-scenes machinations that took place before, during and after this remarkable event.
 
This historic set of Classic Rock stands complete and unexpurgated as performed by guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward, bassist/vocalist John Lodge, vocalist/flutist Ray Thomas, drummer Graeme Edge and keyboardist/vocalist Mike Pinder. Touring in support of A Question Of Balance album, The Moody Blues, at this point in time, had had four albums all in the Top 5 U.K. (with two #1s). The audience on this night topped half a million. It was an era that will never be duplicated.
 
This is one of the most indelible, groundbreaking and iconic live performances of the Classic Rock era. The Isle Of Wight Festival itself is one of the most cherished fests of rock history. It debuted in 1968, continues today, and is most famous for its 1970 lineup that included ELP, Tull, Hendrix, Baez, Kristofferson, Miles, Sly, The Doors, The Who, Moodies and more.

“Box Of Vision” Presents The Beatles - On Your Coffee Table

April 2, 2009

boxfront_0084dFormer Capitol Records COO Jonathan Polk speaks to ClassicRockForever about his stunning new Beatles “Box Of Vision” which was recently previewed at The Fest For Beatles Fans in New Jersey to a very enthusiastic audience.

CRF: So, we’ve seen the product on your website… it looks gorgeous.  It’s actually 3 books in one …isn’t it?

JP:  Exactly.  The one that is getting the most attention here, and rightly so, is the album artwork book. It’s the first coffee table book to contain all of THE BEATLES’ album artwork– both the UK and US versions– and its all newly restored, pristine, LP size prints.

CRF: When you say album artwork, you’re not just talking about the front covers …you’re talking about back covers, inside artwork, booklets – the works.

JP: Correct, virtually everything that was included in the original LPs. The entire Magical Mystery Tour booklet, for example.  The expanded LP size artwork and booklets from all of the CD era releases– so people like you and I can finally read the liner notes without going blind! It’s 200 pages of brilliantly restored art.

CRF: You said  “restored” artwork.  It’s the best I’ve seen – with or without the reading glasses. It seems better than what the CDs themselves have …and these are all LP size.  How were you able to accomplish that one?

JP: Well, under license from Apple Corps Limited, I was allowed to restore the original artwork, using a number of archival sources… being careful to stay true to the original art but, using current technology to bring out the best in the prints. 

overview

CRF: I bet that was a long and winding – nope, I’m not going to make the first lame “song-pun”.  Let me rephrase – I bet it took a lot of time and work….

JP: It did, but if you look at the result, it was worth it.  All I have heard from people here all weekend– and these are devoted Beatle fans who have seen everything– is “wow” and “this is fantastic.” So I know we succeeded.

CRF: Now the second book is a discography of sorts?

JP: Yes.  We call it “Catalography” and it is a presentation and walk through the UK and US Beatles catalogs in photos and text– showing side-by-side the corresponding albums and track-listings, explaining what is different and why. 

CRF: That’s great because even the most devoted fans get confused once in a while… including a definitive guide is a nice touch.  

Yes. And I must point out that the text was written by Bruce Spizer, the noted Beatles authority and author. 

CRF: And tax attorney…

JP: Yes, in New Orleans.  He is a great guy and he did an incredible job here.

CRF: And finally, the third book is a CD storage book.

JP: Right… I designed and patented a unique storage book organizing and displaying the entire Beatles core catalog– all 32 CDs and CD booklets.  If you go to our website, www.boxofvision.com there is a virtual tour that shows you how this works– how all of the discs and booklets –even digipaks– can be stored and displayed on five sleek page spreads.

spread_03

CRF: And this whole package, all three books – ok, I can’t resist - come together - in a coffee table “Box.”

JP: Yes. It all comes in an elegant, black linen-covered box, 13 inches high and wide, 3 inches deep. On the front is a beautiful new print of the iconic Robert Freeman photo used for the With the Beatles and Meet the Beatles album covers– and on the spines, something that got a lot of great reaction here, are “faux” LP spines that makes the box look like your collection of BEATLES LPs.

CRF: When we talked in the past, I was under the impression that this was going to sell for a few hundred dollars but you’re actually selling this whole package–all three books, in the box– for $64?

JP: It’s for a limited time. The product will not be released until August, so that price is for pre-orders. That price is only good until April 30, after which the price will go up significantly. Of course, no ones credit card gets charged until their Box ships in August. Even better, for an even more limited amount of time we are selling an individually numbered limited edition for the same $64 price. 

I want this product to become an essential piece for every Beatles fan– which I think it is, for the artwork book alone. I wanted it to be priced so it was in reach of as many fans as practical.  And while I’m doing market research in anticipation of a broad release in the fall, I decided to make it a “steal”– something I’ve heard quite a few fans saying.  And anyone who goes to www.boxofvision.com and pre-orders before May 1, can take advantage of the discounted price.

CRF:  I hope my kids read this because Father’s Day is coming

JP:  That reminds me!  When you buy the Box as a gift, we have an e-card you can send whenever you want to tell them what you bought them– and it embodies our virtual tour so they can see it as well….

CRF:  One last thing - “64” – real clever.

JP:  Yep…I couldn’t help myself either.

Performing This Week…Live At Ronnie Scott’s is a visual complement to the recently released CD of the same name (released by Eagle Rock on November 25). This first ever Beck-approved Blu-Ray (also being released in standard format) is a compilation of performances from several stints at London’s famed Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in 2007. Imogen Heap, Joss Stone, and Beck’s former Yardbird’s bandmate, Eric Clapton, all make special appearances.
