But Here We Are

But Here We Are

Artist Foo Fighters

Vinyl LP $26.99

Dave Grohl, the twice-inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member for his work with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, has lived through and seen a lot, so these tales run the gamut from the early days of his career to his now legend status. Clearly, The Storyteller is a great fan book but it’s also an amazing look at the grunge movement and the rock scene from the 80s and beyond. Here We Are is the new album from Foo Fighters, and marks the band’s return after the loss of Taylor Hawkins.

Introduction Jill Lepore

Hardcover $63.75 $75.00

Immerse yourself in the frenzy of Beatlemania with recently rediscovered photographs taken by Sir Paul McCartney from the end of 1963 to the beginning of 1964. McCartney’s personal account is vivid and intimate, and 1964: Eyes of the Storm is a stunning behind-the-scenes account of an explosive moment in music history. 30 of the 38 tracks featured on the 50th Anniversary edition of The Beatles 1962-1966, a.k.a. the album that fans (and newcomers alike) hold close, have been remixed, with another twelve songs newly added.

A landmark publishing event featuring Paul McCartney’s lyrics from his time before The Beatles, with The Beatles, Wings and his solo career — 154 songs in all. Included in the book is McCartney’s commentary, never-before-seen photos, handwritten notes, art and ephemera, all of which are part of his personal collection and available to the public for the first time. If you loved the game-changing hardcover edition, you’ll love the paperback, now with additional songs and a personal foreword, thus giving us even more Paul McCartney. Both 3-album The Beatles 1967-1970 and the 6-album The Beatles 1962-1966 and The Beatles 1967-1970 feature new mixes of classic songs.
