The Starbucks label, Hear Music, will release a CD/DVD Deluxe Edition of Paul McCartney’s “Memory Almost Full” at traditional music retail outlets on November 6, 2007, and at Starbucks Company-operated locations in the U.S. and Canada on November 8th.

The new version of the acclaimed album will feature three bonus tracks, exclusive live performance footage, and music videos for “Ever Present Past” and “Dance Tonight.” In addition, CD/DVD Deluxe Editions of “Memory Almost Full,” sold at Starbucks locations, will feature a pre-loaded $5 limited edition Paul McCartney Starbucks card as part of a gift set.

The three bonus audio tracks on the CD are “In Private,” “Why So Blue,” and “222.” In addition, the package includes a DVD that features never-before-released footage from McCartney’s “secret show” at the Electric Ballroom in London in June, 2007. The video portion of the package includes live performances of material from “Memory Almost Full,” including “Dance Tonight,” “Nod Your Head,” “House of Wax” and “Only Mama Knows,” as well as a live performance of “Drive My Car.”

Also included in the package are the music videos for the singles “Ever Present Past,” directed by Phil Griffin, and “Dance Tonight,” directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and starring Natalie Portman.

“Memory Almost Full” was first released on Hear Music in June, 2007. Buzzine music editor Darryl Morden said, “Had a young artist a third his age released an album like ‘Memory Almost Full,’ they’d be championed as a rising talent”.
