Coming Soon On HMC ..

The news is out!
Forthcoming product on HMC in 2011 includes :

HMC 011 - Unforgettable - The McCartney Christmas Album (LP + CD)


Apparently a lift from one of four acetates made by DJ Paul McCartney circa 1965 with Paul spinning some of his favorite songs from that year & playing with his tapes in the music concrete style that he has become accustomed to after listeing to Karlheinz Stockhausen - one of each disk was given to his fellow Beatles for their listening pleasure & this disk could have come from John Lennon's archives. 

HMC 012 - Christmas Album (LP + CD with 26 minutes of new Christmas outtakes)


Every few years more Crimble outtakes surface deep from the vaults of EMI with the last being about 4 years ago. 26 minutes of new chatter while the Beatles recorded for their flexi disks for fan club members could be released .. 

HMC 013 - Get Back Continued (LP + CD with unreleased studio outtakes)


Even after the avalanche of Let It be / Get back outtakes in 1999 / 2000 there are still bits & pieces missing from the full nagra reels that could have been taken home with production staff from the Let It be film. Quite how much there is left to be released remains to be seen but new Beatles stock is worth gold. 


These disks are rumored to be limited to 1000 each. More details are certain to follow ..
