Paul McCartney has given Classic Rock an exclusive preview of a long-lost TV advertisement. The spot was originally used in 1975 to promote the album Venus & Mars, which is being released on November 3 alongside the band's At The Speed Of Sound.
The video was directed by Karl Reisz, who also directed the classic movies Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Isadora, and _The French Lieutenant’s Woman. _
Both albums will be available in a variety of formats: a two disc edition made up of the original remastered album and a second CD of bonus audio, a three disc, deluxe set featuring a hardback book and a DVD featuring filmed material from around the time of release. There will also be vinyl and digital editons. The remastering was carried out by the same engineers who worked on the recent Beatles reissues.
