All those albums were put back because no-one knew what the demand would be and when the shops would open. At that point of time I could have had an album turned around from delivery of lacquers or master in less that 6 weeks, currently it's five months unless you already have booked capacity. Of course all the major's have booked capacity because they put so much business through the plants. So as I said no major European release was held up by a factory being closed. And currently no CD release is being held up - not by the CD factory or the printer. I can get a CD order in two weeks. I'm not saying that Covid isn't delaying anything just that plants being closed wasn't the issue
They might upload the Andre Gardner show later on to this: Beatles Radio Shows Normally a 24 hour wait for us Europeans..
More organic and less artificial....that's music to my ears. Thanks for sharing your review, the album sounds even more promising now.
Thanks for the detailed overview. Much appreciated. The first listen is always good. You tend to concentrate more and have that 'it will never sound this fresh, and new ever again' feeling. Suitably jealous here, but pleased to hear some positivity and, from your comments and scoring, realism. I'm tending skip most things now but I will try to pick out the posts that are uplifting, and yours is. Cheers.
Some shows, not all of them. When he started doing that, the album was side by side with Eminem. So, one or other show he did that and certainly helped that.
I’m actually with you. The music sounds like what rich kids think rap is. Plus, the exaltation of Hamilton as a historical figure is problematic in a number of ways.
Ma Macca torna alley sue radici Wonderful review! Very musically descriptive, sounds like some modern touches, but a blend of Vintage McCartney, Macca gets back to his roots!
I for one am put off by all the many versions of McCartney III and cancelled my order. At his age, and with his legacy, why not just let the music do the talking? It seems obvious MPL going all out to manufacture a #1 album but if that happens it will ring hollow with me. If I hear some of the music and like it, I will buy a copy. Also, does anyone else wonder about why the release date was moved to Dec. 18. Could there be a surprise digital release on Dec. 11 of the Plastic Ono Band 50th? Dec. 11 is the actual anniversary date. Just a thought.
I know that Kylie’s album was mostly recorded in lockdown as she has spoken about it whilst promoting the album. She recorded her own vocals at home and engineered the album herself whilst isolating, of course these things are possible these days what with the technology and stuff. I imagine that Paul has his own studio set up permanently to use anytime he wants, depending on where he was isolating of course.
That would be FANTASTIC. The POB remixes I heard on the Gimme Some Truth reissues were Amazing and left me wanting to hear the whole album. The original had too much hiss.
Yeah I mean he worked with that Wanye Kest guy, he got pretty high in the charts ....Or maybe he just got really high
Great review! Obviously I’ll have to tell with an actual listen but Deep Down sounds like it won’t be a particular favorite but the rest sound amazing. Can’t wait!
