The Beatles Channel Playlist

Imagine selling for more money than any other piece of Beatles memorabilia. It isn't a record price for a piano, though. The piano from the 1942 movie Casablanca sold for $3,410,000 in 2014.

 
Paul McCartney's new album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane will be released on May 29. The title comes from "Walking with the boys of Dungeon Lane, aimlessly towards a muddy shore," a line in In Liverpool, a demo Paul had recorded in 1992. He was considering the song for inclusion on his Off The Ground album. Here is Days We Left Behind, the new album's first single:

 
Here is Home To Us, the second single from Paul McCartney's upcoming album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane. The duet with Ringo Starr (who also plays drums on the track) features harmony vocals by Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde and Texas lead singer Sharleen Spiteri.

 
On January 30, 1969, the Beatles and Billy Preston gave a 42-minute concert on the roof of Apple Corps headquarters in London. A few people complained about the noise. Two police officers showed up but couldn't do anything because the Beatles were on private property. It would be their last live performance.

 
The Boys Of Dungeon Lane, released June 2, debuted at number one on the June 5 UK Official Albums Chart and the June 5 Vinyl Albums chart, thanks to sales of 14,110 CDs, 16,296 vinyl albums and 346 cassettes plus 1,298 digital downloads and 1,592 sales-equivalent streams in its first three days of availability. (The charts cover May 29 through June 4.)

 
The weekly Billboard 200 album chart is based on sales of physical albums and sales of digital tracks. Audio and video streaming also is factored in. One thousand paid subscription streams or 2,500 ad-supported streams from songs on an album are counted as the equivalent of one album sold. On the June 13 charts, The Boys Of Dungeon Lane is the best-selling album and debuts at #5 on the Billboard 200.

 
Sixty-eight tracks! Alternate versions! Backing tracks! Demos! An 88-page hardbound book! And.......expensive.

The Beatles' Rubber Soul due for super deluxe treatment: Boxed set Includes stereo remix, session outtakes and a previously unheard John Lennon song

 
Success at the library. I was able to check out "Rubber Soul" the other day. It is a very nice CD.

Along with Foo Fighters "Medicine at Midnight". I like "Waiting for a War" and wanted to hear the rest. Only liked one other track #8 "Chasing Birds". Rest too loud.

And dodie "Build a Problem" A Coffeehouse star but did not like any tracks: too soft
 
The Beatles performed at the Star-Club 74 times from April through December 1962. In 1977, Lingasong Records released the double album The Beatles Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany, 1962.

Horst Fascher, Hamburg rock & roll impresario who helped start the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany, dies at 90
