The PURE McCartney episodes will chronicle 'Dance Tonight', 'Coming Up', 'My Valentine', 'Mull of Kintyre' and 'Early Days', released episodically beginning today and continuing through to the PURE McCartney album release on June 10.

Director for PURE McCartney VR, Tony Kaye comments: "It is an honour to be part of such a tremendously talented team of artists, tasked with documenting the thinking of this great man, in order to bring his fans a new means of expericing some of his greatest songs.

"His musical genius is now on display for the world in an entirely new light."

Cliff Plumer, president of Jaunt Studios added: "We used to see artists connect with their fans through album covers and liner notes but that personal expression, and deeper understanding of the music, has diminished over the years.

"With virtual reality, Paul McCartney is taking the most innovative step yet; he's connecting directly with his fans, to share his innermost thoughts and experiences, in an entirely new, personal and immersive way."

Building the series, the team behind it sought out the creative expertise of some incredible minds including award-winning Director, Tony Kaye; Producer and Soundscape Architect Geoff Emerick; and Executive Producers Cliff Plumer, Lucas Wilson and Doug Allenstein.

High quality cinematic VR combines with digitally remastered and spatially oriented ambisonic audio mixed in Dolby Atmos, to deliver the unique series.

The project also marks the first time an original Paul McCartney track has been remixed in Dolby Atmos.

Presented by VisitBritain and the GREAT Britain 'Home of Amazing Moments' #OMGB campaign, the PURE McCartney VR series has kicked off with the release of two episodes available now through the Jaunt VR App, available on iOS, Android, Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Desktop 360.
