Hugh Laurie iTunes LP
Buy the Hugh Laurie iTunes LP from iTunes
At the end of November 2011 Warner Bros released a special edition version of Hugh Laurie’s debut album, ‘Let them Talk’. In addition to the three new studio recordings, we wanted to deliver a special deluxe digital product. With this in mind we created a bespoke iTunes LP, loaded with additional content.
I sourced plenty of content including new photographs, unreleased video and additional writing by both Hugh Laurie and his acclaimed producer Joe Henry.
The iTunes LP reads like a book, with Hugh’s notes on certain songs, thoughts on recording the album and his recollection of working with legends like Dr. John, Sir Tom Jones and Irma Thomas. Joe Henry also contributed a detailed introduction to all the talented musicians that performed on the album.
The LP is packed with great video content too. The ‘Live in New Orleans’ DVD contributed two live videos featuring Sir Tom Jones and Irma Thomas. I also included a six part documentary that covers Hugh’s journey to New Orleans and his time in Ocean Way Studio.
Once the iTunes LP was ready for release I briefed the team at Electric Lighting Station to create a trailer for the product. Oggy Hawkins did a superb job and created the video YouTube video embedded on the left.
The ‘Let Them Talk’ iTunes LP went on sale worldwide in December and was incredibly well received. It is great to know that something I created has reached such a wide international audience. Especially with Kate Brighouse and my names in the credits.
