To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ya-Ya’s!, ABKCO is set to release a remastered deluxe and super-deluxe edition of the live album, a three-disc/one-DVD box set complete with five unreleased songs from the MSG shows and a DVD featuring the Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out film directed by the Maysles Brothers — the documentary team behind the Stones’ classic Gimme Shelter. In the film, the Stones hang out with Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead, mess around during the Ya-Ya’s cover shoot, perform the five unreleased songs and much more.
Additionally, one disc in the set will be dedicated to the sets from the MSG shows’ two opening acts, B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner. The set will also include a replica poster and a 56-page booklet featuring photos, essays, Lester Bangs’ original Rolling Stone review of the album and much more. The “super-deluxe” version of the box set will also house a three picture disc vinyl version of Ya-Ya’s, complete with etched cover images and the Stones’ signatures, as well as an enlarged version of the replica poster and 56-page booklet. To top it all off, the box set will come with a voucher allowing fans to download the Ya-Ya’s version of the Stones’ “I’m Free” for Guitar Hero 5.
The deluxe box will hit shelves November 3rd, while the super deluxe set arrives two weeks later on November 17th. Check out the track list below:

Special Edition Swift CD Set For Oct. Release
A new Platinum Edition of Taylor Swift’s Fearless album is headed for stores in time for the holiday sales rush. Big Machine Records will release the CD/DVD set on Oct. 27, containing new music and video extras such as her video collaboration with T-Pain on “Thug Story,” and exclusive new behind-the-scenes photos shot by Taylor’s brother, Austin K. Swift.
Fearless, named 2009’s Album of the Year by the Academy of Country Music, was originally released by Big Machine in November of 2008. Now quadruple-platinum, Fearless has spent more weeks in the No. 1 position atop Billboard’s Top 200 all-genre CD sales chart than any other album this decade. Yesterday, Fearless was nominated for Album of the Year by the Country Music Association. Swift also received CMA nominations for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Music Video of the Year.

Beatles Reissues Sales Figures For UK & US
According to Britain's Official Chart Company, the Beatles will be placing five albums in the top 20 on the British Album charts and 15 albums in the top 75 when the new charts come out next week. While some were expecting that the Fab Four would top the charts, it's unlikely as sales are spread over a number of single releases and the box sets.
Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers are dominating, but the Stereo Box Set is also selling well, coming in as the fourth biggest after one day on the market.
America's Hits Daily Double released their estimates of first week sales in the U.S. and it's extraordinary, especially for albums that are already in so many people's collections already.
Projecting on retailer reports over the first two days of availability, it is appearing that the 16 titles (14 albums plus two box sets) will sell close to 500,000 copies for the week. Individual titles are headed by Abbey Road with sales of between 70 and 75,000 while Sgt. Pepper and the White Album are looking at 50 to 55,000.
The full list with estimates:
1.Abbey Road (70 to 75,000)
2.Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (50 to 55,000)
3.Beatles (White Album) (50 to 55,000)
4.Rubber Soul (40 to 45,000)
5.Revolver (35 to 40,000)
6.Past Masters (27 to 30,000)
7.Help! (25 to 28,000)
8.Let It Be (24 to 27,000)
9.Magical Mystery Tour (24 to 27,000)
10.Stereo Box Set (24 to 26,000)
11.Hard Day's Night (22 to 25,000)
12.Please Please Me (19 to 22,000)
13.Beatles For Sale (17 to 20,000)
14.With the Beatles (17 to 20,000)
15.Yellow Submarine (12 to 15,000)
16.Mono Box Set (9 to 11,000)
Amazing for a band that broke up 40 years ago.

Paul McCartney: 'The Beatles Took Too Many Drugs'
Sir Paul McCartney has spoken about the copious amount of drugs The Beatles consumed in their career and expressed dismay at how they managed to survive the period.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said, 'We were overdoing substances and really getting crazy, as we all were.
"We'd be falling asleep, the kinda thing when you can hardly get your head off the pillow. You go, 'Woah, I'd better get my head off this pillow.'
However some experiences on drugs led to writing The Beatles classic Let It Be.
McCartney said, "I had a dream, where my mother, who had been dead, by then, 10 years came to me in the dream and was very sort of helpful and very calming, and it was lovely just to see her... and she said, 'Don't worry about it... Let it be.'
'I went, 'OK', and I felt so good... and I woke up and wrote Let It Be. I thought, 'That's a good idea for a song.

Phil Collins Reveals He Can No Longer Play Drums
Phil Collins has told the Mirror in the U.K. that, due to recent spinal surgery, he can no longer play the drums or piano and is not sure if he ever will be able to again.
Collins told the paper that, after years of sitting in a certain position to play drums, his vertebrae were crushing his spinal chord. He had surgery for the situation, but the end result is that he cannot hold his drumsticks.
Phil told the paper, It comes from years of playing. I can't even hold the sticks properly without it being painful. I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through.
But don't worry, I can still sing."
Collins says that he is very sad over the situation, but is keeping an upbeat attitude. "There isn't any drama regarding my 'disability' and playing drums. Somehow during the last Genesis tour I dislocated some vertebrae in my upper neck and that affected my hands. After a successful operation on my neck, my hands still can't function normally.
"Maybe in a year or so it will change, but for now it is impossible for me to play drums or piano. I am not in any 'distressed' state...stuff happens in life."
