Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane, Record Store Day, April 22
For Record Store Day on April 22, Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe will release an exclusive, limited edition seven-inch vinyl single of The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane,” among the first songs recorded during the ‘Sgt. Pepper’ sessions, which began in November 1966.

This is the first time Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band has been remixed and presented with additional session recordings, and it is the first Beatles album to be remixed and expanded since the 2003 release of Let It Be… Naked. To create the new stereo and 5.1 surround audio mixes for ‘Sgt. Pepper,’ producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios in London.

All of the Anniversary Edition releases include Martin’s new stereo mix of the album, which was sourced directly from the original four-track session tapes and guided by the original, Beatles-preferred mono mix produced by his father, George Martin.

CHICK COREA RELEASES NEW 3 DISC SET & FILM: THE MUSICIAN

Chick Corea first laid eyes on New York’s Greenwich Village in 1959, fresh from high school, with a head full of music that only he could have imagined. With this new release The Musician, recorded in the epicenter of Chick’s original NYC haunts and more than 50 years later, Corea finally brings all that music together at once.

The new live 3-CD and Blu-ray set captures Corea’s 70th birthday celebration at the famed Blue Note Jazz Club in 2011, where he assembled a staggering lineup of musical friends and fellow-travelers – among them Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, John McLaughlin and Stanley Clarke – for a month-long residency featuring 10 different bands, including triumphal sets by his own Chick Corea Elektric Band and Return to Forever.

All of it is captured brilliantly in the first feature-length documentary on Corea’s life, music and genius musical partners. The film takes you inside the heads and “hangs” of some of the greatest artists of our time – backstage and personal – and the CDs capture almost four hours of live recordings of every band.

The deluxe hardcover edition, including the film on Blu-ray, in addition to the 3 CDs, an essay by Robin D. G. Kelley and exclusive photos, will be available from Concord Jazz on April 21, 2017, as well as a 3-CD edition. A 3-LP edition on 180-gram vinyl is planned for June 2.

The Musician [3 CD/Blu-ray]

The CDs capture the music with Corea’s characteristic thrilling live sound, and the documentary goes even further: with total access to Chick’s creative process, the film features live footage, but also rehearsals, backstage hangs and candid interviews with the musicians.

Everything that goes into making music at this level – the hours of practice, rehearsals, gear moving in and out – is in full view.

The Musician shows Corea welcoming his 70th year with friends and thousands of fans. Now, five years later, he shows no sign of slowing down. He continues to look forward to more tours, more gigs, and more sessions.

Looking back on the month-long celebration that is now remembered on The Musician, Corea calls it motivation “to keep on experimenting and researching and putting new bands together and playing music. It’s that simple.”

One of Hollywood's most beloved classics returns to the silver screen this fall. Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of GONE WITH THE WIND ('39) in select cinemas nationwide on September 28 & October 1.

PRE-ORDER CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW

TCM will present screenings of Gone With the Wind on Sept. 28 and Oct. 1 in movie theaters across the nation. The film gets a new boxed set Blu-ray anniversary edition on Sept. 30.

Scarlett O'Hara's green curtain dress -- perhaps the most famous costume in Hollywood history -- is among three original outfits appearing in an exhibition marking the 75th anniversary of the 1939 movie classic "Gone With the Wind."

The exhibit opens Tuesday, September 9, at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, detailing the three-plus years it took to bring Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel to the screen. It runs through January 4.

Scarlett's burgundy ball gown, another original costume on display, is an example of producer David O. Selznick's push for "show-stopping glamour," curator Morena says. "It's really visually compelling on-screen in a tense moment," she says of the shocking outfit Scarlett wears to Ashley's birthday party. "Vivien Leigh just looks stunning in the dress."
