From paulmccartney.com, October 1st, 2020:

To mark the centenary of DreamWorks Animation/Classic Media’s Rupert The Bear later this year, Paul’s iconic 1984 Rupert-inspired song We All Stand Together and animated film Rupert and the Frog Song will receive special releases.

36 years since its release and also celebrating the 40^th anniversary of when Paul recorded the song at AIR Studios, London, We All Stand Together is being made available on limited edition picture disc vinyl on November 6^th via MPL/Capitol/UMe  – the vinyl is specially shaped, exactly the same as the 1984 release.  The 2020 version also comes with a poster.

We All Stand Together has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton along with the B-side instrumental We All Stand Together (Humming Version) which was included on the original release.

Produced by George Martin and featuring The King’s Singers and the choir of St Paul’s Cathedral, We All Stand Together (also known as The Frog Song) was a huge hit upon release, remaining in the charts for 13 weeks becoming a classic and a much -loved song by every school child in the 80s.

The song was the focal point of Rupert and The Frog Song – a short animated film that Paul began work on in 1981 with animator Geoff Dunbar.  The film has now been fully restored in 4k as well as getting a new audio mix. […]

Congratulations to Rupert on his 100^th birthday.  The great thing is he never looks a day older.  Having been a fan of his since my early days in Liverpool, I know what he means to generations of young and old kids.  In his character and attitudes to the world, he sums up the best of British tradition and reminds us of an innocence we would all love to cherish.  So, congratulations my little bear.  Your fans are celebrating your 100^th birthday and I for one think you deserve a telegram from the Queen.
