Hello everyone,
Those of you that missed out on the previous Traveling Wilbury Deluxe Edition that featured Dhani on two tracks will be pleased to know that a Second Edition Deluxe Set can now be pre-ordered.
"The Wilbury Deluxe Edition sold out so quickly that it caught us by surprise. We heard from so many disappointed fans it seemed the only fair thing to do was to make a second edition,” said Olivia Harrison.
Available November 20, 2007 - Second Edition Deluxe Set - Linen-bound deluxe edition features 2 CDs (Volumes 1 and 3) with bonus tracks, bonus DVD, and a 40-page collectible book with photos, original liner notes, new liner notes and a uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity.
.... It is exactly the same as the First Edition Deluxe Set apart from the fact that the box is bound in dark blue linen ... Distributors Rhino needed to differentiate between the First and Second Editions ....The uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity will start off number-wise where the previous edition left off ...
Available December 4, 2007 -- Vinyl Edition - Features 2 vinyl releases of the original Volumes 1 and 3 with an additional 12-inch featuring bonus tracks, a collectible album-sized book, plus additional vintage postcards and posters.
You can pre-order both of the above items at http://www.travelingwilburys.co.uk/

Hello everyone,
Further delays for Dhani and the Wu Tang Clan
The Wu Tang Clan ring-leader RZA has pushed back the release of the bands' album '8 Diagrams' by one week in response to Clan-renegade Ghostface Killah's complaint that his own album was being released on the same day. The new Wu Tang Clan album which features Dhani Harrison on the track 'The Heart Gently Weeps' is now scheduled for release on 11th December so as not to clash with Ghostface's 'Big Dough Rehab', still slated for a 4th December release date.

Hello
As I am sure the majority of you are all aware by now, Dhani visited Iceland a few days ago. Dhani was there so as to attend The Imagine Peace Tower Dedication Ceremony which took place on the 9th October at Videy Island, Reykjavik. For more information on the Imagine Peace Tower visit the official website at http://www.imaginepeace.com/. You can also watch a video of the Dedication Ceremony and catch a few brief clips of Dhani.
On Thursday 11th October Dhani attended the opening party for 'Established And Sons' in Knightsbridge, London, England. The company is owned by Al Willis, husband of Stella McCartney. Also present at the event were Olivia Harrison, Barbara Bach Starkey and Paul, James, Mary and Stella McCartney. Some photographs from this event were loaded into the website gallery the very same evening and a few more will be added later today ....

Hello everyone,

There are lots of things to report on so a series of updates will follow ...
Firstly ... some very important news to forward on ...
The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF Teams Up with Students for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Every dollar collected by students this Halloween for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF can have twice the impact
NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Students and teachers around the country who participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, The Original Kids Helping Kids(R) campaign, have a new reason to get excited about Halloween. This year The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF has teamed up with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to match, dollar-for-dollar, the money raised by schools through this 57-year-old tradition. In keeping with UNICEF's core mission, which recognizes education as a key component to child survival, proceeds from the matching grant will be used to support UNICEF's Schools for Africa program. This program provides communities with a sustainable solution for education, with a special focus on girls, orphans and vulnerable children, such as those who have been impacted as a result of HIV/AIDS. "We are delighted and honored that The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues their commitment to the world's children by so generously participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF," said Caryl M. Stern, president and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "UNICEF's Schools for Africa program aims to accelerate access to quality basic education for children in Africa- with this matching grant we will move one step closer to making this a reality." More than 35 years ago, George Harrison, the legendary musician and humanitarian, set a precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause. In 1971, using his fame and the power of music, Harrison organized the historic concert for Bangladesh. At the time, the country was ravaged by floods, famine and a civil war, leaving 10 million people homeless. The ground-breaking concert, along with sales from the film and the album, provided an extraordinary $15 million for UNICEF's emergency efforts on behalf of children and families, focusing global attention on the crisis and raising the consciousness of millions of the world's citizens, musicians and music fans to UNICEF's unique, life-saving programs. Today, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF keeps alive it's tradition of saving children's lives with this extraordinary opportunity by matching dollar-for-dollar what schools raise for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Participating classrooms around the country will receive dynamic, colorful information packets that include: details on the matching grant program, a world map, information on the three countries (Mozambique, Angola and Rwanda) identified as having the greatest need for the Schools for Africa program, and a DVD with an appeal from Dhani Harrison, a musician in his own right and son of the late George Harrison, on ways teachers may complement their Trick-or- Treat for UNICEF fundraising efforts. In order to have their gifts matched dollar-for-dollar, classrooms are advised to write "GHFU Match" on their check, money order or Coinstar(R) receipt and submit their collections by the December 31, 2007 deadline. Free Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes are available at all Hallmark Gold Crown(R) stores and all Pier 1 Imports(R) stores. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a Halloween tradition beloved by generations, is one of America's longest-running youth volunteer activities. Every year children across the country participate with their families, schools and communities to raise millions of dollars for UNICEF. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF supporters have collected more than $136 million since 1950, including more than $4.5 million in 2006. ABOUT The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF is a joint undertaking between the Harrison family and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF that aims to support UNICEF programs, providing lifesaving assistance to children caught in humanitarian emergencies. Every year, UNICEF identifies countries and territories suffering from the results of civil conflict, natural disaster and poverty- countries where children are vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, exploitation and abuse. As with Bangladesh in the 1970's, many of these emergencies are still virtually ignored by the media and critically under funded. In the tradition established by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues to support UNICEF programs in Bangladesh while expanding its influence to include other countries in crisis where children are at risk. For more information about The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF please visit: http://www.georgeharrisonfundforunicef.org. ABOUT UNICEF For more than 60 years, UNICEF has been the world's leading international children's organization, working in over 150 countries to address the ongoing issues that affect why kids are dying. UNICEF provides lifesaving nutrition, clean water, education, protection and emergency response saving more young lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. While millions of children die every year of preventable causes like dehydration, upper respiratory infections and measles, UNICEF, with the support of partnering organizations and donors alike, has the global experience, resources and reach to give children the best hope of survival.

Hello
There has been some slight confusion over the Wu Tang Clan collaboration with Dhani ...
As reported here correctly on the 13th September, the track is an interpolation of the George Harrison penned 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps' .... and NOT a sample from it, which is what several media sources have been suggesting for a couple of days ...
In order to satisfy everyones curiosity Wu Tang Clan have made it possible for their version of the track - correctly titled 'The Heart Gently Weeps' to be exclusively streamed at http://www.loud.com/ today!
It will be the first single and video from the album '8 Diagrams' which is scheduled for release on December 4th.
There has also been some confusion as to what Dhani actually collaborated on the track. Some media sources were suggesting guitar, others were stating that it was the drums!!
Dhani Harrison had this to say when approached by MTV.com to clarify the details ....
"EMI freaked out about this whole thing, but it's less about a major corporation talking to another major corporation, it's more like two friends — RZA and myself — talking about working together," Dhani Harrison said. "[The RZA] asked me to see if he could use the song, which is owned by us [the Harrison Estate], and we said yes. It's not the original master — they've never been cleared — but the song is used compositionally.
"I play a bit of guitar on it, John Frusciante played some guitar too, and Erykah is on there," he continued. "I haven't heard the final version, but whatever capacity the RZA wants to use all of those parts in, I'm sure he will."
Meanwhile, the Wu Tang Clan were full of appologies and had this to say ...
"The statement on Wu-Tang Clan's myspace site is incorrect and we apologize for any confusion it may have caused. We did not sample the Beatles, rather we did an interpolation of the classic George Harrison composition 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.' In a historic collaboration, Dhani Harrison, son of George, through his friendship with the RZA, played guitar on the song and he himself helped secure the reuse license. Also appearing on the song are John Frusciante, guitar player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Erykah Badu singing the chorus. To satisfy everyone's curiosity, the song will be streamed exclusively on loud.com tonight. It will be the first single and video from the forthcoming album 8 Diagrams, in stores December 4."
that's all for now ...

Hello everyone,
Further to my report mentioning the delay of the Wu Tang Clan's album being until 4th December, news articles are now circulating based on a report on the Wu Tang Clan's official website that the delay is to do with history being made and the magnitude of the sampled track 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'.
The following is clipped from NMEcom ....
Wu-Tang Clan get clearance to use first-ever Beatles sample
Rap supergroup push back album release to 'make history'
02.Oct.07 11:43pm
Wu Tang Clan have announced that they've been given permission to use a sample of a song by The Beatles for the first time ever.The rap supergroup originally said that they were covering The Beatles' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' with George Harrison's son Dhani Harrison, as previously reported. Now the band have revealed that they've been given permission to use a sample of the song in their cover version.In a message posted today (October 2) on their website, the band wrote, "Special thanks to Danny [sic] Harrison & Erykah Badu for helping bring this song to life!! Also thanks to The Harrison Estate & The Beatles for helping make this possible!!"The band also said that they're pushing back the release date of their new album, '8 Diagrams', from November 13 to December 4 "due to the magnitude of the sample and the History being made."

Hello
A few things to mention ...
I understand that one or two of our forum members are having difficulty registering for the News Feed ...
Problem solved hopefully, because I have now installed the feed into the forum toolbar! .... So if you haven't installed our toolbar there's even more reason to go and do it now!! Click on the 'Download our toolbar' link at the bottom of each forum page. .... Those of you that have the toolbar installed already will notice that there are probably a dozen archived site feeds in there. You will need to delete them accordingly, or even save them if you prefer. ;-)
