Paul McCartney Archive Collection - 'Forthcoming Releases' [TBC]

That is wonderful.

But are we talking "relatively soon" as in ice-age glacial terms or like within 6-8 months? ...

 

Awesome news! I’ve been hoping for these. I just hope they don’t continue the download only tracks route with the box sets.

 

Coming relatively comprehensively soon for MPL is 2 years...

 

I was told within the next 12 months. Sorry... of course that could mean a lot sooner. Or not.

But the good news is it's on the schedule.

 

Do we know for sure that a White Album reissue is coming this year?

 

That is par for the course. But "within 12 months" is a start.

 

Damn. I was seriously hoping for Bruce McMouse as JPM is available in very watchable quality already. Meanwhile, Bruce McMouse has never been leaked.

 

The nadir?? omikron, I'd like to introduce you to Women Kind:


Hands down Paul's worst released track.

 

yes, we are patiently waiting and of course "ooh & aahing" the colored vinyl series in the meantime.

The replacement cards will now say "Coming Later"

 

'Coming in your lifetime' sounds more hopefully.

 

Haha. Well stated. At least he held that one from release for eons and didn't seriously consider it for release.

 

Women Kind is Paul's worst archival release. For worst contemporary release, I gotta go with this little gem:

 

"Coming in your lifetime, possibly" sounds more accurate.

 

"Rumors that are potentially true" - in my book, this must count as strong, hard, undisputable evidence!!

 

I'll hold my hand up as a fan of that one!

Especially the "rock" version at the end of the Put It There documentary.

 

He did hold back Boil Crisis from the Tug of War Archive release. But Women Kind made it. Makes you think.

 

I thought "Boil Crisis" was more a Back to the Egg thing (no pun intended)?

 

I always thought it got recorded with some of the other TOW demos. Given the rapid pace of material being recorded then there's bound to be some album overlap. I don't know for I guess.

 

The TOW demo is the '77-era demo overdubbed.

 

This. The rock version (the first version released, via the Put It There documentary) was a fun jam. They squeezed every ounce of life out of it when the track was remixed for the CD single.

 

Start the countdown....

 

Really? I always kinda liked that one...

For worst, I'd go with PS Love Me Do.

[Agreed that Women Kind may be the lowest point overall...]

 

Well, they were different timeframes, weren't they?

Obviously there were not a lot of choices for unreleased material from 1970 vs. the plethora of tracks to choose from in 1982..
