Beatles News Briefs: Guess which vinyl Beatles album was a huge seller in 2008?

- Digital downloads were up last year, though the increased sales didn't make up for the declining sales of CDs. But here's an interesting little factoid: More vinyl albums (remember those?) were purchased (1.88 million) in 2008 than in any other year since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, reports the Associated Press. And one of the three top-selling vinyl albums last year was, believe it or not, "Abbey Road." (Or for you vinyl connoiseurs, the British pressing or the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs version.) From the story, here are the top three vinyl sellers: Radiohead’s “In Rainbows’’ (26,000 units), “Abbey Road’’ (16,500) and Guns ‘N Roses’ “Chinese Democracy’’ (13,600). Who would have guessed?
- If you haven't seen the Aviva commercial with Ringo Starr, Dame Edna, Alice Cooper and Bruce Willis, you can see it above. Definitely worth a view.
- Peter Noone, quoted in the Tahoe Daily Tribune: "I’d go out for drinks with John Lennon. ... I acted like an adult, even though I was a kid, so you could get away with much more stuff. They were all impressed that I could drink like that. I think all young kids can drink well. Nowadays I don’t drink at all. I used my lifetime allowance by the end of my teenage years.”
- Mary Wilson of the Supremes, also in the Tahoe Daily Tribune: "The Beatles were accepted here, we were accepted in Europe. It was the same thing. During that time it was either The Beatles or the Supremes. They’d have a No. 1; we’d have a No. 2. We’d have a No. 1; they’d have a No. 2. It was a battle the entire time. For us, it wasn’t competitive between the groups. It was just the music. It was never like we’ve got to catch up with The Beatles or they’d say we’ve got to catch up to Motown. It was never that type of competitiveness.”
- Ken Mansfield, former American manager of Apple Records, will discuss the Beatles' rooftop concert (seen in "Let It Be") at 7 p.m. Jan. 28 in the Calvary Fellowship auditorium, 23302 56th Ave. W., in Mountlake Terrace, Wash., reports Heraldnet. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, see the church's website (scroll down the page).
- The professor who figured out the opening chord to the song "A Hard Day's Night" using mathematics talks about that in an interview on the NPR website. His next task: Using the same formula to figure who wrote certain questioned Beatle songs. (Thanks to HwyCDRRev.)
- A&E Home Video is giving away copies of the Blu-ray version of Paul McCartney's "The Space Within Us" through their Facebook page.
- A new mural patterned after John Lennon's "Rock 'n' Roll" album cover is now on view in Liverpool, reports Click Liverpool. It was painted by Belfast artists Mark Ervine and Danny Devenny for the Riverside Group Housing Association and the Liverpool Mural Project. "This is the first real collaboration between the leading mural artists from both communities of Belfast and Liverpool artists," said Peter Morrison of the Liverpool Mural Project.
- Fashion designer Ted Lapidus, whose customers included the Beatles, has died at 79, reports the UK Telegraph. Lapidus was known for his safari jackets and nods to unisex fashions.
