Features highlights from the first season of the Channel 4 show LIVE FROM ABBEY ROAD, which saw various musical artists perform live at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. The show took the artists into the hallowed studios, and with the only audience being the TV cameras and technicians, they recorded a selection of songs later broadcast in the twelve hour-long episodes. Augmented with interviews, the shows cut through the normal visual effects and studio trickery to showcase the music itself. The 2-disc DVD brings together some of the best performances from the whole series, along with some additional goodies.

Original band member of 80’s pop legends Mike and The Mechanics, Paul Carrack, celebrates the production of Panasonic’s first ‘end-to-end’ 3D Blu-ray disc with a signing of his latest album at Panasonic’s UK head office in Bracknell, Berkshire. Originally commissioned and filmed by Panasonic at Air Studio’s in London, the 3D Blu-ray disc is the industry’s first live studio recording in 3D. The session performed by Paul Carrack was filmed in 3D on Panasonic Broadcast cameras, authored at Panasonic’s Hollywood Laboratory and is now available on 3D Blu-ray disc, demonstrating Panasonic’s complete end-to-end 3D solution.
