Sound engineer Jan-Eric Persson has realized a long-cherished dream and produced an album with original Beatle Tony Sheridan. After a total of five years in production, “Tony Sheridan...And Opus 3 Artists” has been completed. Tony Sheridan wrote the album opener with none other than Paul McCartney – a track that has never been released before. The remaining 11 songs were all penned by Tony Sheridan. He sings on three tracks, while the other nine feature artists from Opus 3 Records such as Maria Winther, Bottleneck John, Yamina, Therese Mercedes Myrhed, Nick Malmeström and Roger Ekman.
No doubt about it: this is one of the most important and ambitious albums in the label's history.” (Hörerlebnis 105, Klangtipp)
Lothar Brandt, AUDIO 5/2018, “Audiophile CD of the Month”: "Audiophiles have appreciated the Swedish label Opus 3 for 40 years. The latest Opus 3 coup is songs penned by Tony Sheridan. Every Beatles fan knows the British singer and guitarist (1940-2013) – he recorded “My Bonnie” in Hamburg with their early release Beat Brothers. The veteran was able to record four songs with Opus 3 musicians, including “Tell Me If You Can,” written with Paul McCartney, which has never been released before. For this reason alone, this SACD is a must-have!"
The outstanding Hybrid SACD from Opus 3 Records includes a booklet with detailed information on the recording technology and microphones used, as well as the history of Tony Sheridan, the making of the album and the lineup.
