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

You can ad "Blackpool" on "Wild Life" (there's a 1971-ish demo of it that circulates).


But then, your listing are based on stuff we know exist.
More than once, Paul has surprised us by including - or at least making available - material absolutely no one knew existed on his archive reissues.
"It's Not On"*, the Richard Niles version of "Blue Sway" or "Rock My Baby" being three examples.

*sorry, I just read now that it's been mentioned a few minutes ago!

 

True, but the listings provided say 3-CD each deluxe version.

 

Who knows? A demo of 'Fuh You' from WildLife-era called 'Freak You' might exist

 

For some reasons I ignore, I can't include stuff I don't know about

I could see some live stuff on digital download on his website, like Eat At Home and Smile Away 1972 live performances were for RAM (I think?)

 

Wings Wild Life...

Probably disc 3 will have the rehearsals...

 

yep, it means will be available ONLY at the PM official store(s)

 

Oh you got some news!?

 

Incredible performance. What a song too

 

AKA the second verse of "Rupert Song"

 

I'm behind on this, but we got barcodes?

Bring these on.

 

And claims of a press release on Thursday

 

Oh man @mikecarrera has changed his avatar to Red Rose Paul! I'm more certain than ever that this is happening now!

 

I didn't realize that Paul sat on Goodnight Tonight for more than a year before it was released, and that there was a year between the recording of the A and B sides.

 

Да, Вы все поняли правильно.

 

Yes, that original, non-overdubbed and very long version is out there, when you know where to look for it.

 

Those tracklist make complete sense, and would be utterly fantastic. The only improvement would be a 3rd RRS disc which presents a full '72 concert. But I doubt we'll get that.

Any thoughts on the DVDs?

 

The deluxe edition contains a 3rd CD. What do you guess would be on it if not a '72 concert?

 

Good point. But not all the deluxe editions had a 3rd audio disc, did they? What would Wild Life have if there was one?

But, yes, a live '72 show would be the obvious way to go if there was a 3rd disc. Fingers crossed.

 

Maybe Disc 3 is the original double LP album in one disc, as it also will be released on vinyl
That would lead us to get songs from the standard album twice but it kinda makes sense to get it in one round

 

I'm not sure if you missed it, but here are the (to-be-confirmed-on-Thursday) configurations for the deluxe sets:

A '72 show would be pretty amazing! I'm very curious to know what will be present on the 3rd disc of both of these.

 

Remember we had Tug Of War twice in the boxset (although it was a remix)

 

I imagine they’ll go the McCartney II route and have all the cut tracks on the second disc, then all the other bonus tracks on the third disc.

I’m just glad we’ve got the option to choose which we’d prefer on vinyl, though I’m not sure which one I’d go for.

 

I first heard RRS when I was about 12, had mixed feelings then and still have mixed feelings. There are a few great songs. Get on The Right Thing is ace, maybe because it's a RAM era song. When the Night is also excellent and I love Loup. I dont get the disdain for this and I certainly dont get the constant comparison to Pink Floyd. Henry and or Denny sound nothing like David Gilmour and Paul's bass sounds nothing like Roger Waters. Anyway I loved this when I first heard it and since it would be another 5 years before I ever heard any music by PF I certainly didn't think of them when I listened to Loup.
Big Barn Bed is a good but there is an even better song trying to break free but it remains shackled by Paul's plodding bass line. Which is kind of dumb when you think about all the great bass lines Paul has played in the last 55 years.
I have always hated My Love. Schmaltzy rubbish. Paul and Linda's marriage is a great love story but I don't need to hear it set to music. Maybe if George Martin did the string arrangement it would not finish up so cloyingly soppy.
The rest of it is OK but soft - too much like granny music. I must admit I do enjoy listening to all of it but it's more a nostalgic visit to my childhood when I had about 10 albums and this got a lot of playtime.
Now I know that this was originally meant to be a double album - I would have expected a better outcome when it was pared down to a single. Was Paul's judgement clouded by the weed? Which brings me to another point. I always think it's a strange anomaly that Paul was supposedly smoking like a chimney but his music is the antithesis of stoner music. Go figure.
Bottom line, bring on the re-issue. Its Paul McCartney, its the bloody RRS album I dont care if it sold or not I am in.
