The poster for Paul McCartney's Citi Field concerts.

  

 Here's what we posted Wednesday:

• Tannenbaum '70s exhibit is must see for anyone who remembers decade fondly
• Alert: the @dhaniharrison Twitter account is a fake
• Paul McCartney officially announces ticket details for July concerts at Citi Field

Good luck, everyone, in getting tickets for the Citi Field shows. You can see the poster for the shows on this page.

Memorabilia that was part of Cynthia and Julian Lennon's lives with John Lennon, along with their memories of him, rare photos and more, will comprise "White Feather: The Spirit of John Lennon," an exhibit at Liverpool's The Beatles Story from June 17 to Dec. 31. You can see all about it at www.whitefeatherexhibition.com/. The name of the exhibit is explained in this quote from Julian on the exhibit site: 

“One thing Dad said to me was should he should pass away, if there was any way of letting me know he was going to be ok the message would come to me in the form of a white feather. Then something happened to me about ten years ago when I was on tour in Australia. I was presented with a white feather by an Aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. One thing for sure is that the white feather always represented peace to me.”

Yoko Ono posted some news on her blog Wednesday morning: Her latest song "I'm Not Getting Enough" will be No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart this weekend.

Paul McCartney's website has some information, finally, on the much-delayed deluxe edition of "Electric Arguments." It says it can be order for "immediate shipping." Here's the contents:  two limited edition exclusive art prints, art booklet, direct metal mastered 200gm double vinyl, Bespoke 4-disc pack featuring the regular CD with all 13 tracks, bonus CD with sevent tracks of bonus mixes and alternative versions, high-res stereo audio and bonus video DVD with all 13 tracks from the album plus a previously unreleased mix of ‘Highway’ all in high resolution; promo video for ‘Sing The Changes’ and the previously unreleased video for ‘Dance ‘Til We’re High’, plus behind the scenes footage of the recording of the album ‘In The Studio’ and data DVD of multi track audio files – "stems for 5 tracks from the album allowing you to produce your own remixes of the tracks." We guess this means it won't be long before we get it?

The Times of London reached into its archives and pulled out its original review of "Let It Be" and other archival links.

On this Sunday's edition of "Chris Carter's 'Breakfast With the Beatles'" on XM 25/Sirius 7, the show will feature a countdown of Carter's 40 favorite Beatle tracks recorded by Sir George Martin in celebration of the 47th anniversary of the Beatles working with him for the first time. On June 14, the show will pay tribute to Paul McCartney's career. Special guest will be Olivia Harrison, who'll talk about the new George Harrison disc.

 A note for Denny Laine and  Moody Blues fans: the front  page of the Daily Express for June 4 has the headline "Go Now."
