BEATLES AND WORLD WAR II

Amazon has more details filled in on the upcoming Beatles and World War II set formerly known as All This and World War II.  In addition to this being a re-edit of the original film, it appears Jeff Lynne's contribution is now two separate pieces, on CD at least, The Bee Gees had a track thrown out, Ambrosia's track and both of Roy Wood's tracks all tossed.

From Amazon:

Documentary about the Second World War that combines archive footage with music from The Beatles. Artists including Tina Turner, Elton John, Status Quo and The Bee Gees perform a number of Beatles' hits including 'Help!', 'With a Little Help from My Friends', 'Hey Jude' and 'Yesterday'.

THE WILBURYS HAVE RETURNED

Although there's practically nothing new from the Wilburys 2007 set on the new re-issue, they have done a complete overhaul of The Traveling Wilburys website - including some new items in their official store.

THE WILBURYS ARE HERE AGAIN

Back in the stores and online today: The Traveling Wilburys Collection this time by Concord Music Group. The songs can also be streamed by most popular music streaming services now and all main titles are available as full-blast 196kHz/24bit high-resolution downloads 'Remastered 2016.'

But note, the bonus tracks that were tacked on the ends of Volume One and Volume 3 are now only available on the Traveling Wilburys Collection set.
