Beatles for Sale: How Everything They Touched Turned to Gold (Paperback) by John Blaney (Author)
Beatles for Sale is a brand new way of looking at a story you may think you know inside out. Author John Blaney shows for the first time how the group and their inner circle invented so much of what we now recognize as the modern business of making and selling rock music. This was certainly not because Lennon, McCartney, Epstein, and the rest had a clear vision of the way things ought to be. Very often it was simply down to making things up as they went along - because no one had been there before and no one knew how to do these things. The book details the ups and downs of the group as they promoted, advertised, and sold records, played concerts, sold merchandise, made films, and set up publishing and record companies of their own. It is a story of naivety and greed, inexperience and luck, gullibility and ingenuity. It is the story of every aspect of how the Beatles made money - and how virtually every group since then has followed in their footsteps.

The Story Of Rock's Lost Genre!
Back in 1976, nobody really knew that there was an old wave of British Heavy Metal. But within 2 years of their formation, Iron Maiden had spearheaded what came to be abbreviated the NWOBHM, and as with punk the year before, a new generation of Rock musicians bought in a new wave of the genre - and in the process made loud, raw, heavy rock the global phenomenon it is today. For the first time this film investigates this New Wave - the bands, the records, the media and the series of unconnected events that led to this astonishing, durable and still hugely relevant form which is even heard today in virtually every rock record released. Focusing on Maiden and the other pivotal bands of the time, such as Saxon, Samson, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, Tygers Of Pan Tang and many others, this DVD is the ultimate expose of a style that may not get as much press as Punk, but is equally as relevant to the music of the second millennium.

Review
The Third Installment In Chrome Dreams' History Of Dylan!
By the end of 1978 most music fans - whether dedicated worshippers, casual listeners or outright dissenters - knew that Bob Dylan was nothing if not unpredictable. But nobody could have guessed what was coming next. Dylan's adherence to Christian fundamentalism - and the three albums he released and shows he performed in its wake - assisted greatly in making the 1980s his most controversial decade. Loved by some, detested by others, Bob both lost and gained fans via this change of faith and the single-minded beliefs he now appeared to behold. But by 1984 his views had softened somewhat and during the rest of the decade he released albums and performed gigs of mixed quality, but generally featuring standout tracks - many now revered as Dylan classics - amongst the often less inspired cuts. But despite it all, this period of Dylan¿s life and career is one of the most controversial, fascinating and misunderstood of all.
This film reviews the years from late 1978 to the release of 1989's Oh Mercy - an album that was seen by many as a huge return to form With the aid of rare Dylan footage, live and studio versions of the most pivotal songs, exclusive interviews with his closest allies from that time, contributions from Dylan experts, biographers and other commentators, and many other features, this film provides the most entertaining, enlightening and detailed document of the 1980s according to Bob Dylan, ever produced.

Professionally shot live footage of the bands legendary performance at the Reading Festival!
Whoever was responsible for putting Smells Like Teen Spirit on heavy MTV rotation in 1992, was probably unaware that this would be the starting gun for a new era of alternative rock. It is anybody's guess what made him or her bet on this weird horse that seemed far out of the usual line of mainstream music video fare, but it earned MTV the jackpot. Nevertheless, Seattle-based Nirvana hit the raw nerve of the Zeitgeist to become the (stage-managed) mouthpiece of their generation. Whether intended or not is open to debate, but one thing seems certain: guitarist and singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain probably didn't set out to become a role model for millions of teenagers in the first place. Said that, fiercely selfconfident Cobain ("I always knew I do something special") had been a determined and relentless fighter for a life of fame, glory, and rock 'n' roll since his beginnings as a musician.

The Piano Tribute to Metallica: Bite The Ivory Catalog #: VIT-8915 Release Date: 4/8/2008
Details: Metallica is the little engine that roars. That’s Motorbreath. This heavy metal locomotive fuels its fire with anger, rage, and uncertainty. Your conductors are Hetfield and Ulrich. By making stops all over the world, Metallica has become the most popular metal band of all time. Beginning with 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, each subsequent album has brought car loads of new fans. The ride hasn’t always been smooth, but Metallica has never been derailed. This Piano Tribute to Metallica pulls away the iron panels of speed and coal-blackened distortion to reveal the fundamental element of the band’s success: grandiose melody. With these arena-sized anthems laid bare, the haunting melodies are heard in their pristine beauty. Fortunately, it is impossible to fully suppress the Wagnerian sturm und drang of the music. Enter Piano Man!
Songs: 1 The Ecstasy of Gold 2 Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 3 Fade to Black 4 Hero of the Day 5 Escape 6 Mama Said 7 Nothing Else Matters 8 Astronomy 9 One 10 Turn the Page 11 Bleeding Me 12 The Unforgiven
