The Peter Green Anthology – a 4CD Deluxe Box Set – will be released soon, but not until October 27th!

In the meantime though, we have a very rare, recently recorded video filmed on Canvey Island, of Peter Green himself.

This is the first time he has ever done a session filmed for the web and it’s the first time many people have seen him play in years.

Enjoy!

From his first tentative recordings with the likes of Peter Bardens and John Mayall, it moves through the genesis of Fleetwood Mac and the band’s many classic blues recordings including “Ramblin’ Pony” and “Black Magic Woman”.

Fleetwood Mac’s subsequent blues and rock fusion chart hits – titles like the utterly unique “Albatross”, “Oh Well” and the ever haunting “Man Of The World” – are all included, as is the best of his later solo work and Splinter Group recordings.

Through many personal transformations and struggles, Peter Green has lived the blues he so obviously fell in love with at a young age. The body of his work so far is one of the most impressive legacies in the genre and this is his first complete career overview.

It’s also the first time that Peter Green himself has had an active involvement in such a project, working closely with Salvo and compiler John Crosby.

Crosby’s extensive liner notes embody an essay on the social and cultural context of the times in which Peter’s music was created, the Sixties blues boom, the rock scene of the late Sixties and early Seventies and Peter’s acclaimed return after several years of seclusion; a biographical feature, a track-by-track commentary and a UK discography.

Quite simply, this is the ultimate Peter Green collection – a special release befitting a special musician and songwriter who is rightly one of the most revered blues guitarists of all time.

Due to unprecedented public demand, US star Colbie Caillat is set to re-release her debut single “Bubbly” in the UK on 8th September, 2008 on the Universal label through the Island Records Group.

“Bubbly” has already been a huge success, reaching No. 1 in 12 countries, and her debut album ‘Coco’ has achieved multi-platinum success throughout the world.

‘Coco’ has now sold in excess of 2 million copies and is the No 11 best-selling digital album of all time selling more digital albums than Coldplay!

In an age when marketing has been elevated above content and so many songs are written and produced to a pre-ordained formula, Caillat comes as a welcome breath of fresh air.

Think of the kind of vintage, organically-crafted records that Carole King or Joni Mitchell used to make. Thankfully, it’s a tradition that is being kept alive today by the likes of Norah Jones, Jack Johnson – and now Colbie Caillat.

Caillat grew up in the idyllic clime of Malibu, California with music all around her. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ and ‘Tusk’ albums and later ran his own record label. As a child she recalls the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie being around. “Of course I’ve learned a lot from them. You’d be a fool not to,” she says. Yet she is totally her own woman.

Amazingly Colbie only started playing guitar three years ago and was soon consumed with the songwriting bug. Fast forward 18 months and she put a few songs on MySpace. “Nothing much happened for a few months,” she remembers. “Then I wrote this song called “Bubbly” and put it up there and it got this huge reaction. I mean thousands and thousands of hits every day.” In the end, she became the number one unsigned artist on MySpace for four successive months, garnering an almost unbelievable 10 million plays.

Quite what it is about “Bubbly” that struck such a chord, she’s still not entirely sure. “I guess it’s the simplicity of the lyrics and the melody,” she says. “It’s meant to make you feel good and everybody can relate to it. I love all kinds of music and I’ve been influenced by all of it,” she says. “Classic rock like Fleetwood Mac and the Steve Miller Band. Original soul like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Lauryn Hill. Bob Marley and reggae, John Mayer. Anything that makes you feel good.”

“You make me smile, please stay for a while,” she sings on “Bubbly”. It really ought to be her mantra.
