RHINO RELEASING ‘WOODSTOCK-40 YEARS ON: YASGUR’S FARM’ 6 CD SET

July 6, 2009 by Your Way To Music  
Filed under New Releases - CD's


Rhino Marks The Festival’s 40th Anniversary With A 6-CD Set featuring the most comprehensive collection ever available Of artists that performed at the festival including 38 Previously Unreleased tracks

To assemble the most comprehensive document of the myth-steeped weekend, the boxed set’s co-producer Andy Zax pored over every inch of multitrack tape in search of the strongest parts of each of the 33 sets. “The way we approached all of the material was as if it was a cinema verite documentary — the raw record of the event,” Zax says. In addition to the music, the set offers considerable amount of ancillary material sprinkled throughout the discs — stage announcements, lysergic babble, the sounds of rain, a cameo appearance by Abbie Hoffman, and the graciousness of Max Yasgur’s address to the crowd, heard for the first time in its entirety.

Another significant byproduct of the WOODSTOCK — 40 YEARS ON: BACK TO YASGUR’S FARM boxed set is that, by virtue of its size and rigorously chronological sequence, it gets closer to a sense of the performances as they occurred in real time than any previous compilation. For the first time, the complete and accurate set lists will be available in the boxed set’s booklet. Some Woodstock aficionados will be taken aback by the actual order of the performances; it differs from both various written accounts and from Michael Wadleigh’s film Woodstock, which takes certain liberties with chronology in order to maintain its narrative flow.

WOODSTOCK 40th ANNIVERSARY DVD BOX SET

1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace and music. They called it Woodstock. One year later, a landmark Oscar?-winning documentary captured the essence of the music, the electricity of the performances, and the experience of those who lived it. Newly remastered, the film features legendary performances by 17 best selling artists.

Celebrating the Greatest Rock Concert in History! On Blu-ray and DVD June 9 from Warner Home Video…

Remastered 4-hour Director’s Cut and over 3 hours of extras (includes newly discovered performances), and these collectibles:
• LUCITE display with images from the festival
• 60-Page Commemorative LIFE MAGAZINE Reprint
• Iron-on WOODSTOCK PATCH
• Festival Memorabilia including Reproductions of HANDWRITTEN NOTES and a Three-Day Ticket
Numbered, Limited-Edition Sets for Enhanced Collectibility

“Few documentaries have captured a time and place more completely, poignantly, and … entertainingly.”
–Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Not just a great slice-of-time documentary but the ultimate rock concert movie.”
–Chris Willman, Los Angeles Times

Burbank, CA – the four-hour Director’s Cut of the 1970 Oscar®-winning documentary about the landmark music event that featured some of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll performers in history – will be released June 9 in a spectacular new limited, numbered Blu-ray and DVD Ultimate Collector’s Edition (UCE). With two extra hours of rare performance footage – some of it newly-discovered, some only seen in part and some never seen at all – the UCE is destined to make its own history. Details of the new releases will be featured at the South by Southwest Music + Film Festival where Warner Home Video will offer festival goers a first look at the new high definition picture and sound on March 21.

Today, four decades later, Woodstock still resonates deeply with those that attended and those that wished they had. Director Michael Wadleigh notes, “Based on the vast e-mails and calls I’ve received, many from young people, it’s very evident that people still relate so much to the film and view the ’60s as an age when anything and everything was possible, mostly good. Many hope for a new Woodstock generation since what people loved back then was spontaneity, originality, innocence and honesty – even in superstars; that’s why Woodstock, with its open and natural philosophy, has become timeless.”

The two extra hours of rare performance footage features 18 new performances as never before seen from 13 groups, including Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonald, Santana, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Joe Cocker and five (Paul Butterfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Grateful Dead, Johnny Winter and Mountain) who played at Woodstock but never appeared in any film version. 

A third hour of bonus material also on the UCE includes a featurette gallery showcasing interviews with Martin Scorsese, producer Michael Lang, director Michael Wadleigh, Hugh Hefner, Eddie Kramer (the concert’s original chief on-site engineer and producer-engineer for Jimi Hendrix) and others who chronicle the making of the festival and the film. Included are such segments as 3 Days in a Truck, No Rain! No Rain! and Living Up To Idealism. Additionally, exclusive to Blu-ray a Customize Your Own Woodstock Playlist from the 18 bonus performances and other special features like Media Center, My WB Commentary and Live Community Screening.

The WOODSTOCK UCE will be packaged in a unique giftbox, numbered as part of a limited run with an array of collectibles that include a 60+ page reprint of a Life magazine commemorative issue, a lucite lenticular display of vintage festival photos, festival memorabilia and an iron-on patch with the classic dove and guitar Woodstock emblem.

Jeff Baker, WHV’s Executive VP and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog, stated, “As I reviewed Woodstock interviews and some of the newly discovered concert footage, it struck me how historically relevant this project has become to all of us who have been privileged to be a part of it. The new ‘content’ we have created, almost 40 years later, and the live performances we’ve restored in high definition, some in extended cuts, will live on as studio assets forever, and as a testimony to a time and a set of circumstances which will never again repeat themselves.”

Woodstock 3 Days of Peace & Music was newly remastered from original elements and scanned at 2K with an audio 5.1 mix. Eddie Kramer, Woodstock sound engineer, assisted with the 5.1 audio mix of recently found additional footage. The Ultimate Collector’s Edition will be available in Blu-ray™ Hi-Def as well as DVD. Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music will also be available on DVD as a Two-Disc Special Edition.

WOODSTOCK (From Festival to Feature highlights) –
• The Camera: The Éclair NPR was the best camera around in 1969; Michael Wadleigh talks about why the Éclair was the right camera for this film. 

• 365,000 Feet of Film: The stories of how Dale Bell and his crew begged, borrowed and stole just enough film to document the festival.

• Shooting Stage: Those up-close shots of performers didn’t just happen by magic; see how Wadleigh and his cameramen got those up close and personal shots of the performers.

• The Line Up: The Who, Sha Na Na, Santana, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane and many more; how did all these bands get on the roster for the festival of a life time?

• Holding the Negative Hostage: What does a filmmaker do when Technicolor is sending a copy of your negative to the studio without your permission? Well, you lock up the film and hire a lawyer.

• Announcements: “Don’t take the brown acid” or maybe it was green. We’ll hear about all the strange and informative announcements heard during those three days of peace, love and enlightenment.

• Suits VS. Longhairs: The clash between the hippie filmmakers and the Warner executives who didn’t understand what this film meant.

THE WHO SELL OUT EXPANDED DELUXE CD BUY NOW FOR ONLY £10.98 FROM OUR UK STORE

March 13, 2009 by Your Way To Music  
Filed under Reissues

Originally released in December 1967, The Who Sell Out arrived at the tail end of a remarkable year in popular culture. As well as being forever immortalised as the moment when the counterculture and the Love Generation went global, 1967 produced tremendous musical upheavals as “pop” metamorphosed to “rock”, elevating the likes of Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd, Traffic and the West Coast groups to prominence – both on the underground scene and the commercial arena. The homage to pop-art is evident in both the advertising jingles and the iconic sleeve design – created by David King (art director at the Sunday Times) and Roger Law (who invented Spitting Image) producing four giant images for each band member – Odorono deodorant, Medac spot cream, Charles Atlas and Heinz baked beans! Stunning reissue of the classic Who album from 1967, now upgraded to a greatly expanded 2-CD version in the acclaimed Deluxe edition range, remastered from the original stereo and mono masters for the first time. This is the first official re-release of the mono mix (in the US and UK) since 1967 and comes with eleven previously unreleased songs and/or mixes. The 28-page booklet contains unseen photos and 1960s period advertisements. CD sleeve features out-takes from the original October 1967 album cover photo session by David Montgomery. The initial quantities include limited edition replica of Osiris Visions poster that was packaged only with the original first pressing of album. Introductory essay by noted rock writer Dave Marsh and in-depth liner notes by Who biographer Andy Neill.

ALL-STAR TOMMY: THE ROCK OPERA RE-RELEASED VIA REPERTOIRE

March 5, 2009 by Your Way To Music  
Filed under Reissues

 

It was an astonishingly bold concept by the producer Lou Reizner to present the Who’s rock opera ‘Tommy’ as a dramatised, all-star extravaganza. Originally released as a double LP in a slipcase with lavish, illustrations, this was the first ever ‘coffee table’ album. 

And it proved a huge best seller when first released in 1971 and helped on its way by the hit single version of ‘Pinball Wizard’, sung with gusto by Rod Stewart on the album. Among the other guest performers accompanied by the mighty orchestra and choir are Pete Townshend, Sandy Denny, Richie Havens, Stevie Winwood, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Maggie Bell, Ringo Starr and even movie actor Richard Harris. 

This important CD re-issue serves not only as a tribute to the genius of the Who and composer Townshend, but as a memorial to Lou Reizner, a pioneer of multi-media projects, who died aged just 43 in 1977. A real collector’s item, this brings back golden memories of rock’s boldest, brashest era.

THE WHO LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT 1970 2cd REMASTERED

January 2, 2009 by Your Way To Music  
Filed under Reissues

Eagle Rock Entertainment is proud to announce the release on double CD of The Who “Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970” [Cat No EDGCD339] on 9 February 2009. Released to coincide with the Blu-ray of the concert on the same day, this legendary performance has been unavailable on CD for several years. The Who’s thunderous set features virtually the whole of “Tommy” and many other classics including “My Generation”, “Substitute”, “I Can’t Explain” and “Magic Bus”. The CD release includes tracks not available on the DVD or Blu-ray releases due to lack of footage.

Unavailable for some considerable time, Eagle Records are now making available once again this double CD set of the complete performance by The Who at the Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970 in the original running order of the live show. The sound has been remastered by long time Who sound man Jon Astley and is now better than ever. Featuring the original classic line-up of Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, The Who’s performance at the Isle Of Wight is rightly celebrated as one of their finest ever and this CD shows exactly why.

Tracklisting:

Disc One
1 Heaven And Hell 2 I Can’t Explain 3 Young Man Blues 4 I Don’t Even Know Myself 5 Water 6 Overture 7 It’s A Boy 8 1921 9 Amazing Journey 10 Sparks 11 Eyesight To The Blind 12 Christmas

Disc Two
1 The Acid Quen 2 Pinball Wizard 3 Do You Think It’s Alright? 4 Fiddle About 5 Tommy Can You Hear Me? 6 There’s A Doctor 7 Go To The Mirror 8 Smash The Mirror 9 Miracle Cure 10 I’m Free 11 Tommy’s Holiday Camp 12 We’re Not Gonna Take It 13 Summertime Blues 14 Medley: Shakin’ All Over / Spoonful / Twist And Shout 15 Substitute 16 My Generation 17 Naked Eye 18 Magic Bus

The Who are one of Britain’s greatest ever bands and this blistering performance at probably Britain’s most revered music festival demonstrates exactly why they have retained their place in the pantheon of all-time classics.
