| Beatles, Stones, Blur Backing U.K. Record Store Day Posted: 16 Apr 2010 07:14 AM PDT The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen are among the high profile names leading the line for the U.K. leg of tomorrow's (April 17) Record Store Day - an event that organizers are confidently predicting will be Britain's biggest ever. Over 150 U.K. stores are participating in the one-day initiative, which will be held in conjunction with other international Record Store Day (RSD) events staged around the world. Last year the total number of U.K. stores taking part in the promotion - designed to get consumers back into traditional music outlets - stood at 78. The number of retail exclusives on sale in the U.K. has also drastically grown, rising from 31 in 2009 to over 110 this year. Significantly, the 2010 U.K. edition of RSD marks the first time that all four majors have participated in the event. In 2009 Warner Music was the sole major to contribute product in the U.K., providing 13 retail exclusives in total. Standout product for this year's edition includes a limited edition two-track release from the Beatles ("Paperback Writer"/"Rain"), a live recording from Bruce Springsteen ("Wrecking Ball") and the seven-inch vinyl release of the Rolling Stones' "Plundered My Soul." The previously unreleased track from the "Exile on Main Street" sessions is limited to 1,000 copies, although the track will also be available on iTunes from today (April 16). U.K. rock band Blur, who is signed to Parlophone/EMI, will also release its first new studio recording in over seven years - a limited edition vinyl-only single entitled "Fool's Day" (Billboard.biz, Apr. 9). "We wanted to help make RSD 2010 the biggest and best event so far," Derek Allen, EMI Music VP sales U.K., tells Billboard.biz. "The indies have always been at the vanguard of breaking new acts and RSD enables EMI to give something back while at the same continuing to expose great new talent via performances, exclusives and new artist samplers." Other retail exclusives set to be on sale at participating U.K. stores include releases from LCD Soundsystem, Lily Allen and Gorillaz (EMI), Teenagers in Tokyo, (Universal), MGMT, Editors and Them Crooked Vultures (Sony Music), Muse and Flaming Lips (Warner Music), while exclusive indie repertoire will also be made available from Bright Eyes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Wichita), The Fall, Pavement (Domino) and Midlake (Bella Union), among many others. U.K. instore performances set to take place on the day include the Automatic (Cardiff), The Paddingtons (Leeds) and Laurie Anderson, Magic Numbers, Ash and 2009 Mercury Prize nominees Sweet Billy Pilgrim (all London). "Everybody this year has been super supportive and they've all gone out of their way to give us really good product to put on the shelves," Spencer Hickman, manager of London independent record store Rough Trade East and co-organizer of the U.K. event, tells Billboard.biz. "Indie stores have traditionally been very insular and don't talk to each other, but I think we've got to that point where you can no longer have that attitude. We're all in it for the same thing," he goes on to say, adding that record stores "can be the heart of their local music scene if they want to be and once kids see that and once they're part of it, they're hooked."

| Beatles and SuBo lead Brit US charge Posted: 15 Apr 2010 08:15 PM PDT THE BEATLES and SUSAN BOYLE have ensured British music is still big in the US.Brit talent accounted for one in ten albums sold in America last year. And the Fab Four's re-mastered back catalogue and SuBo's debut collection led the triumph. I Dreamed A Dream shifted 700,000 copies in its first week and 3.4 million in its first six weeks. The Beatles re-issued 14 albums, with total sales hitting 3.2 million.With our Brrrap stars making inroads over there, Brit sales should look even better this time next year.

| EHS, PEA and Beatles tribute band host Haiti benefit concert Posted: 15 Apr 2010 11:19 PM PDT
"Nothing brings people together like the Beatles," according to Bruce Hilton of All Together Now!, a Beatles tribute band from New England. Hilton, along with his band mates Tommy Moore (bass), Jeff Landrock (guitar and keyboard) and Ace Bailey (drums), are headlining a Haiti benefit concert on Saturday, April 17, also put on by Exeter High School students. beatle maniaWhat: Beatles tribute band All Together Now! performs Haiti benefit concert When: Saturday, April 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. Where: Exeter High School Auditorium, 1 Blue Hawk Drive, Exeter Tickets: $10, available at Mama Lena's on Portsmouth Avenue in Stratham or at the door Web: www.alltogethernow.us The concert is from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Exeter High School auditorium. "Peace, love and understanding seem like an old hat philosophy these days, but I think we're going to be able to use it to pull people together for this and raise money for a good cause," Hilton said. "So many people have already given to Haiti funds, unfortunately the people of Haiti still need help and we're just trying to keep the ball rolling." All Together Now! band members reached out to party planner Cathy Standring of Exeter, owner of Life of the Party, members of the Exeter High School Student Senate and students at Phillips Exeter Academy to raise funds for the American Red Cross for Haiti relief. Hilton said working with students from the high schools would make the event more fun and successful. "I was really looking to involve kids," he said. "I think kids are more willing to jump in and help out with events and causes like this and I know I'd get a lot of support from them." Daniel Lameyer, an EHS senior and the president of Student Senate, said fellow students, faculty and he have come up with a fun event to have a Rock Band competition between the schools. "It will be a nice rival going between Exeter High and Phillips Exeter Academy," Lameyer said. Bands from both schools will play the game to compete for the highest score. The winning team will receive an X-Box Beatles Rock Band game worth $200, donated by Rob Ficara, the owner of Exeter Bowling Lanes. The goal is to sell out on Saturday — 1,000 tickets — but, those involved have created a number of other ways to raise money and awareness. A group of EHS seniors who work primarily on community based projects will also be at the concert selling stickers and bumper stickers they have designed. EHS teacher and coach Peter Foster is encouraging more students to get involved with relief funds like seniors Celia Duffy and Barona Dinapoli, who he said have been very active in the project. "Coach Foster wanted to help out after he heard about the earthquakes," Lameyer said. "He thought to get student volunteers to make friendship bracelets, which we will sell at the event." Foster hopes the bracelets will have an impact acting as a symbol, a reminder of the devastation that has occurred in Haiti. "This has been very important to me, to see kids interested to try to get our arms and heads around a relief effort that has a short-term and long-term part to it," Foster said. "Maybe someone from the hundreds of kids that are involved with this will become more involved with the relief." Foster and EHS students have chosen to join forces with Partners in Health, which has been working on the ground in Haiti for more than 20 years and works to bring modern medical care to poor communities in 12 countries around the world. The goal is to raise more than $2,000 from Saturday's benefit, bracelet sales and students donating lunch money all week. Tickets to the concert are available at Mama Lena's in Stratham and at the door. Tickets are $10, all ages are welcome. All of the proceeds go to the American Red Cross.
