Universal

McCartney Paul & Wings: Venus & Mars (Halfspeed) [Gatefold / Vinyl LP]

För första gången sedan 2005 bjuds vi på nyskrivet Stones-material! Det känns som om man inte nog kan prisa Stones betydelse inom rocken, de låtar de skrivit och deras fortfarande så energiska konserter. <br/><br/>Mick Jagger är och förblir den ultimate frontmannen; det finns ingen som äger en scen som Sir Mick. Ronnie Wood med sitt sneda leende och perfekta kompande. Och så den största av dom alla... Keefan! Det finns liksom ingen coolare än Keith Richards, alla kategorier. Den avlidne <br/>Charlie Watts finns också med på ett hörn, han spelar på två av spåren på detta album.

I början av 60-talet drabbade "The British Invasion" västvärlden. En hel tonårsgeneration<br/>sveptes med i en revolterande våg av långt hår, popmusik och mode. I Sverige skrev en då tolvårig "Tio i topp-nörd" sina första låtar hemma i pojkrummet på Jansasgatan 4 i Sandviken. Det var början på ett låtskrivande som fortfarande pågår.<br/><br/>Nyligen upptäcktes en dammig flyttlåda fylld med rullband i en källare, innehållande de första<br/>trevande inspelningarna från 60-talet. Ett aldrig tidigare utgivet material. 50 års låtskrivande lämnar spår efter sig. Spår som trampar upp stigar. Spår som bildar mönster, linjer och riktning. Spår som med tiden tydliggjort uttryck, temperament och stil. Spår som sammantaget blir Tomas Ledin.<br/><br/>Nu har vi chans att återuppleva denna resa när Universal ger ut en läcker CD-box med<br/>material samlat från hans fantastiska karriär. Boxen innehåller sammanlagt 7 CD, med 133<br/>låtar. Tomas Ledin "Spår" innehåller hans största hits samlade (studio och live) samt outgivna<br/>låtar varav en nyinspelning exklusiv för denna utgåva. Boxen innehåller även en attraktiv 90-<br/>sidig bok med mängder av tidtypsika bilder. Bokens texter är skrivna av: Tomas Ledin, Claes af<br/>Geijerstam, Lennart Wretlind, Kjell Alinge, Mikael Wiehe, Niklas Strömstedt, Kersti Adams Ray,<br/>Claes Ohlson, Frida Reuss med flera Och - förstås - flera timmar tidlös Ledin-pop.

"The Rest Of The Best", Vol. 1 & 2 covers some of the bands recordings released as B-sides on singles, soundtracks and as bonus tracks on Japanese, French and UK versions of their albums between 1994 - 2006. Both volumes are compiled by The Cardigans and remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. The artwork is created based on photos taken by the photographer Martin Bogren, who worked with the band from the very beginning.<br/> <br/>The band says: "We are delighted to release these compilations. Songs that for various reasons were left out of our studio albums. Now our audience can listen through all B sides in chronological order and it's a pure joy to reminisce all the way back to 1993. It's almost like a forgotten record, or rather four. We hope you'll enjoy the 13 year ride!" <br/> <br/>The Cardigans' sound is often described as an eclectic fusion of pop, rock, and alternative influences. Alongside catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and lead vocalist Nina Persson's distinctive voice, their playful approach has resulted in beloved hits like "Lovefool," "My Favourite Game", "Step on Me" and over 15 million sold albums - globally. Besides making their mark on the charts, their music has been used to enhance cult TV-series and movies like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet, Beverly Hills, The Office and The Crown. Further enriching their legacy and solidifying their place in '90s pop culture and beyond.
