Wings: Wild Life & Red Rose Speedway (Expanded Reissue)

It's also one of Paul's top 25 albums!

 

That's very cool. And very informative.

However, I would call that more of a "contents" video than an "unboxing" video, as there is not a person actually opening a box, but maybe that's just me.......

 

Yes it is. Right at #3 after RAM and Electric Arguments. But maybe tied with the Band on the Run/Venus & Mars double whammy.

 

For me Wild Life is a very enjoyable album that somehow has aged very well
Of course it s not Ram, Band on the run or Tug of war. But on it s own it s a very rewarding, in part magical album
Dear Friend will always be one of my absolute favorite Paul moments. Some people never know has a very beatlesque vibe, Tomorrow is a classic, Mumbo one of Pauls most effective rockers, Wild Life heartfelt, Love is strange a great groove-track,I am your singer corny but very melodic
And Bip Bop is Bip Bop

 

I have preordered the single LP, actually it's a 2 disc set.
But after seeing this video man oh man,
there needs to be a service that drops hints to your family members for Christmas presents

 

There is. It is called an Amazon Wish List

 

Im eagerly awaiting the unboxing video of Wings 71-73-a set that promises to be the real motherlode

 

But bizarre to release an unboxing video when the box itself is sold out!

 

People show off their rare items all of the time. Personal unboxing videos are not sales promos.

 

Wouldn t it be fun for those who missed the ride to see

 

Got one for Red Rose Speedway yet?

 

I’m not referring to personal unboxing videos though, I’m referring to the official unboxing promos?

 

Do we have any clue if the big box will have another print run?

 

I'm having that engraved on my tombstone ...

 

No.

 

How about personal boxing videos of boxers in boxer shorts on Boxing Day?

 

Are they going to be making more of the wing 71-73 boxsets? Someone has probably asked this already.

 

AKA Creed II, out tomorrow.

 

No one knows.

 

Yeah in fact two or three just in that last two pages

nobody here knows. .

 

Those folios and extras in these RRS and WWL sets are putting the Pepper50 and WA50 sets to shame in terms of extras (of course WA50 has the original 4 photos and poster which are great, but nothing new besides the book). I think that's a big reason these sets cost more. Really beautifully done.

Hopefully, either the Abbey Road or Let it Be 50th sets have some interesting and great looking extras such as printed materials, a folio of stills, separate lyrics sheet facsimiles, etc. Abbey Road would be a great one to go all out on extras with some bits of official stuff from the studio reprinted, maybe an Apple Records postcard or something.

 

I'm with you, this video would have made more sense back closer to sale date.

I'm guessing this is some sort of third party service that MPL or someone hired to do the video.

It looks a lot like a ZZ Top unboxing video I recently watched. Except for the artwork of course.

I missed out on the Super Deluxe box, but this is everything I could have hoped for in a Wild Life reissue, and more. Very excited about this.

 

The Let It Be 50th NEEDS the original Let It Be book from the original Let It Be box and (wishful thinking) the film on Blu-ray, remastered from the original camera negative.

 

And the original Glyn Johns suggested track listing cleaned up. If it doesn’t have those 3 components, I’ll consider it a missed opportunity. I’ll still be purchasing for release day, but a missed opportunity none the less.
