Possible new Beatles release on coloured, shaped vinyl

We received an email this week telling us about this campaign to release a new Beatles  coloured, shaped vinyl single of "Cry for a Shadow" and said we would help spread the word.  Below is the message and a link to the funding campaign where you can learn more about the project led by Joe from Germany.

"For years I did a record label, putting out lots of different kinds of music. As close as I got to the Beatles in the heyday of my label many years ago were two Denny Laine solo CDs that I licensed from England for the German market, one of which featured Paul McCartney as a guest.

For the last several years, I have been winding the label activities down, but the final release on the label was supposed to be a Beatles vinyl project. Somehow though, it is just beset by bad luck, and is still not out.

"I was hoping you could announce the project on your site so that Beatles fans will know about it. I know the track is old and often released,  but to make up for that, I plan on making sure it gets put into a packaging that would make even the Beatles proud, with colored, shaped vinyl, a wonderful full color open up cover, as well as a Klaus Vormann licensed art on the inside, something that this track has not yet seen. The artwork you can also see on the site."

Beatle Fan Volunteers needed for Cross the Scan Art Project

The Cross the Scan international art project is the brainchild of two French artists known as “les Nivaux”.

They have painstakingly scanned piece by piece the famous Abbey Road Zebra crossing in London.  The 400 scans when joined together can fully recreate the crossing in any location.  

Beginning in October 2015, the giant image will be installed in famous places of the biggest cities in the world such as Paris, Roma, London, Liverpool, Berlin, Hong Kong, NY, Mexico, Montevideo, Sydney, Tokyo,  and Peking. 

For the project to succeed, they need help.  They are seeking volunteers from all around the world to help to help.  If you are interested, contact them by email or on their Facebook page.

The video below gives more information about the project.
