and as an Ultimate Edition. On November 11, 2008 a Blu-Ray disc was released, using the same source

with Paul producing. Released as a single by Suzy and the Red Stripes on May 31,1977 in the US and

in London, on December 9 with director Nicholas Ferguson.
A third version circulates, but is taken from the TV show “The Mike Yarwood Christmas Show” and is not
a video clip.
This newly-remixed soundtrack for the first version of the video was released in July 2016 to promote
Pure McCartney as part of a 360VR video available on YouTube. It adds Foley (the reproduction of
everyday sound effects) and for the first time, a cold ending to the track. The original video’s release

2-06 Rockestra Theme [extended version]
In 1987 guitarist Duane Eddy recorded an album with producer Eddy Pumer. They visited George
Harrison on January 30 to record in his F.P.S.H.O.T. studio, and a few days later, on February 4, recorded
a cover of Paul’s ‘Rockestra Theme’ in the ex-Beatle’s studio Hog Hill Mill. “It was a wonderful session’,
remembers Eddy Pumer. “Paul wrote a new middle-eight for the track, in order that Duane could pluck
on that famous E string. We all had a lot of fun, and then went back again the next day to see Paul mix
it. It was quite a thrill.” The band is formed by Duane Eddy (guitar), Paul McCartney (bass and vocals), Jim
Horn (sax), Charlie Morgan (drums), Phil Pickett (piano) and Nick Glennie-Smith (keyboards). Finishing
touches were applied the next day and the track was mixed on the sixth. The album “Duane Eddy” was
released on June 19, 1987.
When it was decided that ‘Rockestra Theme’ would be released as a UK single, on September 7, 1987,
Paul prepared (on September 4) an extended version, with the help of Bert Bevans. This was released on
the B-Side of the 12”, on September 21, 1987 – the same day as Magical Mystery Tour was released on
CD for the first time.

Sun newspaper organized the recording of a benefit record by recruiting record producers Stock, Aitken
and Waterman. On March 14 to 16, a cover of ‘Let It Be’ was recorded by many artists. The guitar solo
was divided with Gary Moore first, then Mark Knopfler, then back to Gary Moore. Original writer, Paul
McCartney also contributed to the song, although his performance (and section in the accompanying
video) were recorded independently in his own studios. (In fact, it was later revealed that McCartney
used his voice from the original recording of the 1970 Beatles track and added it to the Ferry Aid
recording.)
The single was released on Monday 23 March 1987.
The B-Side of the 7″ single is a gospel version of ‘Let It Be’, made up on the spot by improvising. The 12″

in conjunction with conductor Carl Davis.
Paul also played this song at The Liverpool Sound concert held at Anfield stadium in Liverpool on June 1,
2008 to celebrate the city’s year as the European Capital of Culture. The concert was headlined by Paul
McCartney who was playing in his home city for the first time in five years. Paul played ‘In Liverpool’ – a

The Hollywood Vampires was a celebrity drinking club formed by Alice Cooper in the 1970s, with as
principal members: Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz and Harry Nilsson. “Every once in a while John
Lennon would come into town or Keith Emerson and they would be honourable members for the night.”
So when Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry formed a super group in 2014 to honour the music of
the rock stars who died from excess in the 1970s, Hollywood Vampires was the name they adopted.
In July 2014, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry announced: “I did a session with Paul McCartney a month and a half
ago for a private thing. I met him once or twice [over the years] to say hello. To spend 6 or 8 hours in
studio with him recording! He makes you feel like [you’re recording with just another guy]. He just
happens to be a motherfucking huge talent! Everyone’s in the room at once; you play until you get a
good take. It’s the great ego leveller. I was in the studio with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp, playing
guitar, and the three of us are looking at each other like, hey, we’re sitting here with Paul McCartney!
And we’re all looking at each other like open-mouthed kids. Paul was really nice. He’s all about business
(when he’s recording). At 72 he can still hit all those notes…
It’s a project that we’re keeping under wraps for now. There will be (an announcement when the time is
right).”
To honour Badfinger’s Pete Ham and Tom Evans they recorded a new version of ‘Come And Get it’, with
producer Bob Ezrin. The song was released on September 11, 2015 on the only Hollywood Vampires so
far.

In March 2016 a limited 12” test pressing with a new remix of an old Wings song, sold out in hours. It
went straight to number one in the record shops stocking them and sent ebay into overdrive.
Timo Maas, a German DJ/remixer was behind the project, together with a Canadian producer James Teej.
Maas prepared the mix largely in 2009, but then got stuck.
On Record Day (Sunday April 16), another 100 copies of the two mixes were released. This time by MPL
and on 7”. New is the ‘radio edit version’. An official release followed on Virgin Records Germany on May
13, on a 12” and as a digital download. This includes a new Tim Green Remix.
