LIVE FROM ABBEY ROAD: BEST OF SEASON 1 -- An Intimate Studio Performance Begins November 11

NAVARRE CORPORATION’S BCI PRESENTS A UNIQUE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON US DVD AND BLU-RAY

Los Angeles, CA – BCI, a Navarre Corporation Company, today announces the release of Live From Abbey Road: Best of Season 1 on November 11, 2008. This celebrated international music series, distributed by FremantleMedia Enterprises, airing on the Sundance Channel in the US, combines striking quality visuals with a pristinely engineered sound. The show is recorded at the famous London studios, which have been long been the recording venue of choice for the best talent in music, from the London Symphony Orchestra to U2, and perhaps most recognizably, The Beatles. The DVD and Blu-Ray feature an eclectic mix of performances, as well as notable extras such as extended interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and photo galleries. The DVD set will be available for an SRP of $19.98, along with blu-ray format at $26.98.

Live From Abbey Road: Best of Season 1 brings together some of the best performances from its premiere season. Artists such as John Mayer, Dr. John, Wynton Marsalis, The Goo-Goo Dolls, Iron Maiden, Dave Matthews, David Gilmour and Norah Jones perform at this musical Mecca, without an audience, to simulate the intimate, intense atmosphere of a recording studio.

In fly-on-the-wall style, the show gives viewers access to these stellar musicians while they spend the day at Abbey Road rehearsing, performing, and sharing their musical muse. Within these historic surroundings, their unique recordings are filmed with the use of a 35 mm lens, as producers Michael Gleason and Peter van Hooke seek to capture performances which “look like a movie and sound like a record”.

Full list of artists featured: Corinne Baily Rae, Gnarls Barkley, Natasha Beddingfield, Dave Matthews, Craig David, Dr. John, David Gilmour, Gipsy Kings, Josh Groban, Iron Maiden, Jamiroquai, Norah Jones, Kasabian, Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee, Wynton Marsalis, John Mayer, Nerina Pallot, Primal Scream, Damien Rice, LeAnn Rimes, The Good The Bad and The Queen, The Goo-Goo Dolls, The Kooks, The Zutons.
