The Beatles Love
My name is Chris and I work in the digital marketing team for Parlophone, EMI. I am contacting you as you are the email contact for a fansite which may be interested in the new Beatles information.
As you may well know George Martin has been allowed access to The Beatles original master tapes and has remixed some of the greatest ever Beatles songs including ' I Am A Walrus ', ' Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ' and ' Hey Jude ' amongst many others and with this created a soundscape to excite and delight all Beatles fans, in the form of the new album 'Love'
Four tracks are available to listen to at the Beatles offical homepage (http://www.beatles.com), so please if you could post up a news article about the tracks available for listening so people can have a listen before the official release date on Monday 20th Nov.

Hi Everybody!
The San Diego BEATLEFAIR is this weekend, July 17th & 18th! http://www.beatlefair.com/ If you live anywhere near Southern California this is a MUST! It's a "star-studded" event this year, including Tony Sheridan, Jackie Lomax, Billy Kramer, Gordon Waller...along with DOCTOR LEV...HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.beatlefair.com/2000/fair.html
Further...... Did you hear that Paul (or is it Billy?) finally admitted that certain songs and lyrics DID have "SECRET" meanings and WERE (in some cases) about drugs? So...is this "solid" evidence enough that the Beatles WOULD also create clues and inferences toward a "Paul-Is-Dead" mystery???... ; ) ...you bet! <<McCartney, drugs, secret meanings 2.txt>> Also....check out all the latest new "Paul-Is-Dead" clues that have been sent in to our website...they just keep getting better and better! http://www.paul-is-dead.com/newclues.htm
Remember, you can still (and always) buy (signed) copies of Doctor Lev's book (Billy Shears: The Secret History of the Beatles) on our website: www.Paul-Is-Dead.com And, for those of you who would like to have (most of the) audio clues about the Paul-Is-Dead mystery on CD (including the backwards/backmasking versions), please consider our friend, Doctor Taranto's, (excellently produced) "Paul-Is-Dead" clues CD: http://www.paul-is-dead.com/Doctor%20Taranto%20CD%20page.html
The current (and still) release date for the DOCTOR LEV (in search of) "Paul-Is-Dead" DVD is.....FEBRUARY 2006...just before Paul turns 64... ; )

Hello Everybody!
Congrats to "Dear 'ol" George Harrison for being inducted into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame this week!
On any road...here is a quick DOCTOR LEV "Paul-Is-Dead" events/interviews update for the Spring of 2004: 1.) Doctor Lev's "Paul-Is-Dead" lecture/slide-show series continues at the NY/NJ Meadowlands BEATLEFEST April 2nd-4th: Click Here
Pete Best is the main guest star(r) this time 'round!!! This is ~5th event Doctor Lev has shared with the "Best" Beatles drummer (and his brother, Roag)...I guess you could say they're becoming "Best" friends... ; ) 2.) The Doctor will be discussing his book at the WAMA Timeline Series event April 28th (celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Beatles first US concert, in DC): http://wamadc.com/wama/timelineseries.html 3.) Doctor Lev was interviewed live on Clear Channel WKIOD, with Roger Pasquier, on February 9th discussing the 40th anniversary of the British Invasion and, of course, the book "Billy Shears: The Secret History of the Beatles", the Paul-Is-Dead mystery, and the website ( www.Paul-Is-Dead.com ). 4.) The Roanoke Times interviewed Doctor Lev recently after a reader submitted the (infamous) question: "Who is/was Billy Shears?" See the published article on-line at: http://www1.roanoke.com/roatimes/news/story163785.html
New Book
Hi- I'm dropping a line with a small news bit; hopefully you'll find it worth posting on the site. Basically, I've written a book about concert sound engineers called "Crank It Up," and I have a good-sized chapter in there devoted to McCartney's 2002-03 world tour.
To be fair, the chapter is technical in some places, but it has a lot of insight into what Paul intended with the tour, plus discussion with the engineers on what it's like to work for him, how they shaped the audio on certain songs live and a lot more. Music gearheads will particularly dig it, as it has a complete gear list of the audio equipment used [not instruments though] and info on how they used it all to help make McCartney and the band sound awesome every night.
Overall, there's 33 different bands' tours profiled in the book, ranging from The Rolling Stones to Neil Finn to Beyonce to the Dixie Chicks to the Sex Pistols--something for everyone. You can find out a bit more about it at my personal site
http://www.cliveco.com/thebook.html
and a site by Backbeat Books (the publisher):
http://backbeatbooks.com/scripts/store/vsc/store/products/0879307781. html?L+/htdocs/backbeat/config/store+gpxh7345
Thanks for taking a look at this; if you have any questions, drop me a line and I'll try to answer them.

Happy Beatle-40th "British-Invasion" Anniversary!
There are many events and broadcasts celebrating and re-living the Beatles (Feb 9, 1964) first US visit and performances (inc. The Ed Sullivan shows) scheduled for today. Doctor Lev is being interviewed on the air this morning on 'Clear Channel' W-KION (California) @ 7:30 PT/10:30 ET. The station's website and links are at: http://www.kion1460.com/main.html We're not sure if they are offering a "webcast" of the show, buuuut, they do list other radio channels they are broadcasting/simulcasting over at the bottom of their web-page, so, maybe one of them is in YOUR area... ; ) Nonetheless, it's a perfect day to remember how it all began (for all of us here in the States).
Beatle-On! Regards,
Doctor Lev

Russian band Romislokus
Russian band Romislokus do their music together since 2000.
They had already released three albums and well-developed web-site
which contains a lot of their music, lyrics and artworks.
Plenty of reviews trying to define their musical style say about
presence of progressive rock with large diversity of other styles
of music.
And it isn't accidental for them to record a cover of John Lennon's
"Imagine". The band members count music of The Beatles
among main influences in their life causing them to become the
musicians.
Here is the thoughts about this cover:
"
The songs of John Lennon influence on everyone who sings about
reality, dreams, lonelyness and love.
Imagine is a quintessence of all that...
Romislokus had a long way to perform this song.
This version is the one from the endlessness of possible versions
for "Imagine" of John Lennon.
It has naturally another sound.
Everyone has his own answer for the question: "what is life?".
Everyone has his own vision when listening to original, without
a doubt best, without a doubt master sounding of "Imagine".
Romislokus presents their version, version of russian format."
We invite you to meet the version of "Imagine" at
official Romislokus'
site www.romislokus.com where it is available for free downloading
in
high quality format of MP3 compressing.
Also there are a lot of original music of Romislokus,
video clips, reviews, history of the band, articles, lyrics,
photogallery and list of radiostations broadcasting music of
Romislokus worldwide.
Dear All Petebest.com is proud to announce dates for August
2003,

Greetings Beatle-people!
The Billy Shears (and Paul-Is-Dead) "Summer-leg" of
the '02-'03 Doctor Lev "World Tour" has one more stop
left...whewwwwww!
Firstly, Doctor Lev's appearance and performance on stage in CLEVELAND
this past weekend at the ABBEY ROAD ON THE RIVER festival
(http://www.abbeyroadontheriver.com/)
was the "Pinnacle" (so far) of Doctor Lev's writing
and performing career.
Pictures, videos, and sound-bites will be available on the www.Paul-Is-Dead.com
website later.
Next, however, is the CHICAGO BEATLEFEST (or by the new name:
The Fest For Beatles Fans) this next weekend (August 15th-18th).
See: http://www.thefestforbeatlesfans.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?
Screen=SFNT&Section=fest&Store_Code=thefest
The Doctor will be presenting Paul-Is-Dead slide-shows on Saturday
and Sunday.
For those of you in or near the Chicago area, this will be one
of the best events to attend in years since DONOVAN will be headlining
and performing!... ; )
Ringo is also performing in Chicago a few nights prior...so rumors
are swirling about a surprise visit also!... : 0
Nonetheless, thank you all (again) for your support and interest
in the Beatles and their great PAUL-IS-DEAD mystery.
I am very proud to say that I feel like I have successfully helped
keep this mystery (and one of the greatest strokes of musical
and artistic genius) alive and have "passed" the torch
on to hundreds of young kids throughout the past two years.
However, not to sound like my efforts will stop there....be prepared
to see the story Billy Shears: The Secret History of the Beatles
as an animated film sometime in the future, which will incorporate
numerous songs that I, the Magical-Mystery-Doctor, have written.
So, be well and please continue to search and send in any newly
discovered clues or information that you've found to: DoctorLev@Paul-Is-Dead.com
Sincerely,
Doctor Lev
(and the staff at Billy Shears Inc.)
www.Paul-Is-Dead.com
PS An audio file/clip has been added to the CLUE-OF-THE-YEAR
page so everybody can now hear it for themselves (since the Christmas
albums were/are so rare)!
Click here: http://www.paul-is-dead.com/clueoftheyear.html and
listen closely... ; )
Hi all you Beatlemaniacs!.

the bottom) .
Congratulations to Kristy, Carmen, Malcolm, Matt, Rosey,
and all the others for another successful and totally fun event!
NEXT, Doctor Lev will be performing on stage at ABBEY ROAD
ON THE RIVER in Cleveland August 8th-10th!
See: www.AbbeyRoadontheRiver.com
And the schedule at: http://www.abbeyroadontheriver.com/schedule.html
For those of you who would like to be part of a weekend-long
outdoor Beatles-band extravaganza in downtown Cleveland (along the
river), tickets can be purchased through their website.
Remember, Cleveland is home to the Rock-N-Roll Hall-of-Fame!
So, if you have never been to the Hall-of-Fame, or to the
city of Cleveland, THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO GO EVER!
Finally, as the Billy Shears/Paul-Is-Dead tour continues.....
Doctor Lev will be appearing (the following weekend) in Chicago

Dear All,
Petebest.com is proud to announce the dates and venues for Pete
Best's forthcoming tour of the USA, The has been appropriately
titled
------ The True Beginnings Tour ------,
The Pete Best Band have decided on this name for two reasons.
1. The True Beginnings is the Title of the Best Brothers Newest
book.
2. For those of you that have experienced The Pete Best Band live
before I am sure you will agree that it was a great experience,
but that experience will only get better, for the Pete Best band
play songs that you may never ever have heard live before, such
as early classics like Besame Mucho, Hello Little Girl, My Bonnie,
Till There Was You, Like Dreamers Do, Sweet Georgia Brown &
Saw Her Standing There
As you have probably noticed these songs are very early songs
from the Beatles Repertoire, and the bonus of all this is that
you will have an Original Beatle with his own band playing all
these great songs for you. The Pete Best Band play a set of songs
that Pete Best Played on initially from 1960-62, I realise that
there are thousands of Tribute Bands all around the world but
one thing is for sure, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE REAL THING!

IT'S REAL... NEWLY DISCOVERED BEATLES XMAS RECORDING...CD AVAILABLE!!!
FREE MP3
A lot of mystery surrounds a rare new Beatles Christmas message
tape that has been found after being lost for many years. The
tape was originally sent to the Beatles publishers in the mid
60's. It is an unedited live tape of the Beatles standing around
a microphone probably at Abbey Road attempting to record a Christmas
message tape for their Fan Club.
The Engineer who can be heard on the tape plays sound effects
to the Beatles in an attempt to get them to come up with something
that can be edited together to make a record that can be sent
to the Fans. It was obviously felt that this session didn't come
up to the Beatles high expectation as none of this tape has ever
been heard before so it must have been scrapped.
It was however greatly appreciated by the few people who heard
it in the 60's and now it is available to Beatle Fan of the 21st
century to hear the guys just having a bit of fun all those years
ago.

Hi everybody!
It's been a few months since the NY/NJ Beatlefest in March.
But.....Here we go again!...Three cities in four weeks coming
up!
Sunday, July 20th in San Diego is BEATLEFAIR (http://www.beatlefair.com/)
August 8-10 in Cleveland is ABBEY ROAD ON THE RIVER
(http://www.abbeyroadontheriver.com/)
August 15-17 in Chicago is BEATLEFEST
(http://www.thefestforbeatlesfans.com/Merchant2/
merchant.mv?Screen=SFNT&Section=fest&Store_Code=thefest)
Details for each will be included in individual e-mails just before
each event.
For the San Diego BEATLEFAIR (Sunday, July 20th):
http://www.beatlefair.com/
Doctor Lev will be (among other performances) presenting his 'up-to-date'
Paul-Is-Dead slide-show!
Yes, new clues have been discovered this year (including the "Clue-of-the-Year":
http://www.paul-is-dead.com/clueoftheyear.html) and will be incorporated
therein.
Also, PETE BEST (and his band, which includes his brother ROAG)
will be in attendance and playing....HOORAY!!!
And let's not forget about TONY SHERIDAN (whom the Beatles backed-up
on their first professional recording ever: My Bonnie...and played
numerous shows with in Germany in the "early days").
This show will be covered (and broadcast) by San Diego radio stations
KGB 101 and KOOL 95.7 (both hosted by DAVE MASON).
Thanks so much (once again) to everybody out there for making
sales of the book so successful (thousands of copies have been
sold to date!)
Also, thanks to all those who have actively been involved in searching
for clues and spreading the word about the Paul-Is-Dead mystery
and the website (www.Paul-Is-Dead.com) ...apparently we have been
doing quite a job based on the numerous new websites, books, articles,
radio programs, and even movies that have either been created
since the release of the book or are in the works... ; )
Stay tuned...and we'll keep you up-to-date on upcoming events!
Regards,
Doctor Lev
(and the Billy Shears Inc. staff)
PS Oh yeah, Happy (slightly belated) Birthdays to Bil...I mean,
Paul, and
Ringo!

Hello!
My name is Miron Ghiu-Caia and I'm a professional
writer.
Right now I'm writing a Beatles biography,
which will be published at the end of May by the most
prestigious publishing house in Romania - Humanitas.
I need information regarding Beatles -
especially books about him in some electronic format.
Or, at least, ANY information.
If you could help me I will be greatful and I'll
mention your name in my book. You know, import books
in Romania are EXTREMELY expensive and I can't afford
to buy'em all.
On the other hand - I need Beatles pictures that you've eventualy
made, to put them in my book - ofcourse I'll credit you, etc.
If you could help me with this, it'll be great!
Miron Ghiu-Caia

Hi everyone,
Havent popped by to say hello for a while - things have been
pretty busy here in Liverpool, but I know some of you are members
of the live@pool tours Yahoo group so for constantly interactive
updated information - why not join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Liverpooltours
- be good to chat with you - you'll also find out why Jane &
I spent the weekend with 600 Russian sailors recently - with
photographs to prove it LOL!!
News since the last mail:
live@pool tours were once again shortlisted as Small Tourism
Business of the Year at the Merseyside Tourism awards. Sadly,
we didnt repeat our success of last year, the accolade went
to our friend Leah Williams (Allan's daughter) at the International
Inn - take a look at their website If you're looking for great
hostel accommodation in Liverpool - Its just around the corner
from John's birthplace, LIPA & the Philharmonic Pub &
Hall.
HOWEVER - although we had to be satisfied as one of two runners-up
- THE JACARANDA where we are based can now proudly boast that
it is Liverpool's BAR OF THE YEAR! - richly deserved!
Sad news was the death of our friend Beryl Adams. Beryl lived
a full & very interesting life. She was Brain Epsteins secretary
in the early 60's - right there at the forefront during the
birth of the Beatles. She later married Bob Wooler - Cavern
DJ, and in latter years shared her life with Allan Williams.
Beryl had been working on a book before her untimely death,
so watch out for the publication date - it will definitely be
one to add to your collection.
the BIGGEST news of all is that our Paul will be returning to
play Liverpool in Sunday 1st June. This will be the 90th!! and
last concert of his Back In the World tour and promises to be
an amazing evening on the banks of the River Mersey. Needless
to say, I have my ticket : ), but for those who havent been
so lucky - there are two options..1/ Paul has called for the
capacity to be extended, so maybe more will be online soon,
or 2/ there seems to be a surplus of tickets on the internet
auction sites like e-bay etc. - prices are reasonable so far.
If you can make it to the show - then I hope you'll also join
our...
PAUL COACH TOUR!!
We've brought Paul's annual birthday tour forward this year
to coincide with the show. It will begin at 10am on the 1st
June and feature MANY MANY sites seldom seen on the usual tours
- including Pauls birthplace, first Liverpool Home, place where
he made his debut as a Quarryman, and the highlight is lunch
INSIDE St Peters Church Hall, where he met John all those years
ago back in 1957. the tour will be set to a soundtrack of the
songs he'll sing in the show, so later that evening as he serenades
us by the River, you'll have great memories of the people &
places he's singing about. It will finish about 3pm - plenty
of time to hang around before the show begins around 7.30-8pm.
Cost is £35 per person, but places are limited and will
probably sell out.- SEE http://www.liveapool.com/paul.html
Other stuff to do while you're here for the show...

Anyway, I'll try not to leave it so long next time, its always
good to hear whats happening with you all, but if you would
prefer not to receive updates - albeit not too regularly then
just mail me & I'll remove you from our list.
Hope to see some of you at the Paul show,

From one fan to another... GH tribute
Have you heard the new version of my guitar gently weeps by
Avant Strangel? It's funny. He does this weird musical stroll
thru, rock, reggae, soul. you can download it from: www.avantstrangel.com
Dear All,
Sorry it has been a while since we have added to the website,
but as most of you are aware we are nearing the end of our current
UK tour. All in all it has been a very succesful tour and one
that we are sure will happen again next year. The Pete Best
Band would like to thank all of you that attended the shows
and also thank people for their well wishes, some of you may
be aware that the band was involved in a motor accident whilst
returning from a show in Lowestoft, police and accident recovery
specialist's said at the scene of the accident that "all
the band were lucky to still be alive". The story is detailed
at this web address http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/
0100regionalnews/ page.cfm?objectid=
12849931&method=full&siteid= 50061&headline=
Motorway%20drama%20for%20Pete%20Best
The Pete Best Band are proud to announce a date for the 31st
of May in the luxurious surroundings of Bellinzona, Switzerland.
The Pete Best Band will be performing a set of early Classics
all of which Pete Best performed during his time with the Beatles,
around the Bars of Hamburg, at the Casbah Coffee Club and in
the dance halls of Liverpool.
Hope that this update gives you an idea as to what has been
going on at the moment. Over the next month or so we will be
making you all aware of the future dates for The Pete Best Band.
Also A new part to the Petebest.com Forum is being added, which
will be titled "Pete's Reply". Pete's reply is an
excellent opportunity for Pete Best fans around the world to
ask Pete Questions, it will be Pete who will be responding to
your questions and no one else so here will be your opportunity
to ask a real Beatle those questions that have always mystified
you.
To be able to ask questions on Pete's Forum, you must first
of all register as a member.
All the Best
