Paul McCartney announces a very special Christmas treat for fans with the release of Kisses on the Bottom – Complete Kisses exclusively available on the iTunes Store (Hear Music/Concord Music Group) today.
The album will feature all of McCartney’s hugely acclaimed 2012 album Kisses on the Bottom alongside the entire Live From Capitol Studios concert performance and four bonus tracks including a special festive recording of “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)”, which Paul recorded at Avatar Studios in New York in September. The album will also feature a previously unreleased version of “My Valentine (Johnny Mandel original arrangement)” alongside the tracks “Baby’s Request” and “My One And Only Love”.
Kisses on the Bottom was previously released in February of this year to global critical acclaim and chart success. Recorded with the aid of Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band, it is a collection of standards plus two brand new McCartney songs “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts” which feature guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder respectively. The album topped the Billboard Jazz Charts upon its release and has remained in the chart for 40 weeks. It also reached the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart, Paul’s highest UK chart position in 15 years, and charted Top 5 all around the world.
Paul celebrated the album’s release with Live From Capitol Studios, a very special and intimate concert at the legendary studios in February which was the first and only time that multiple tracks from Kisses On The Bottom have been performed live. The stunning and unique show saw Paul reunited with the cast of all-star musicians who had joined him on the record as he performed behind the microphone without either his famous Höfner bass or any other instruments in hand. This magical once-in-a-lifetime performance is now included on the iTunes release Kisses On The Bottom – Complete Kisses.
This release features McCartney’s acclaimed Kisses on The Bottom album plus the entire Live From Capitol Studios performance and four bonus tracks including “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)”
