DETAILS:
On June 5, Starbucks will make history by hosting an unprecedented Global Listening Event to celebrate the release of Paul McCartney's "Memory Almost Full," the first album ever released by Hear Music, the new record label created by Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group earlier this year. More than 10,000 Starbucks stores in 29 countries and territories worldwide will participate in the event by playing the album in stores, all day, across all time zones. Beginning with New Zealand's 47 stores, the Global Listening Event will roll-out in every Company-operated Starbucks in the world allowing an estimated six million people to discover the new album in a single day.
In addition to the Global Listening Event, McCartney fans are also invited to make history by participating in a unique video tribute honoring McCartney's 65th birthday. Fans can deliver a birthday message directly to McCartney at some of the store locations in designated markets. The video tribute will premiere on June 18, McCartney's birthday, via a host of online outlets. More information, including store locations and recording guidelines, is available online at www.hearmusic.com.
The album will be available at Starbucks locations and traditional music retail outlets internationally. It will be released in the U.S. and Canada on June 5. "Memory Almost Full," reunites McCartney with longtime producer and friend David Kahne and provides a very personal retrospective drawing upon childhood memories from Liverpool, summers long gone, and the times spent writing music with John Lennon.
