    I came across this in an issue of The Write Thing fanzine, and thought you all might find it interesting. Hope it hasn't been posted yet.

    Thanks! Interesting that one of Paul's major motivations for buying the Buddy Holly catalogue was because Allan Klein wanted it!

    Guys, please give me a hand: When Paul says in the interview that John is "full of wind", what does it mean? I had never heard that expression before.

    It's like saying 'he's talking crap', or 'just running his mouth off' with no real substance to his comment.

    Be glad you asked that question here. Over on the McIII thread, you'd be met with a slew of Lavatory Lil jokes.

    Wow. That almost seems like a parody. Terribly designed sign too. As a 40-year Macca fan, I think I can safely say not event moment needs to be commemorated.

    Wandering off at a slight tangent, but I see nowhere else to post this: the re-release of We All Stand Together is wonderful, really well presented. So much better than the original picture disc, which came in a clear pvc cover.

    Nice of Paul to be so thoughtful of deaf people back in 1980 when making the music video :laugh:

    I wonder if they're also remastering the Waterfalls and Wonderful Christmastime videos?

    I just looked that up, I didn't realise they did that so recently.

    It looks like it was taped on video, and there's a lot of effects that they would have to do redo, so they probably can't remaster it much more.

    JEEZ!
    That picture ALONE looks 'cleaner' than the version of the "McCII" DVD!

    Coming Up in HD? Well the matte lines in the original were pretty bad so I’m not sure. Plus I have a feeling these weren’t optical printer shots. So the “HD” is probably gonna be a upscale with added digital sharpening of the SD video master. I hope I’m wrong.

    I thought maybe it was something he said on the interview disc from Chaos but no. In fact, the only thing I could find was a quote from @Yorick

    I had never seen this, so maybe you haven’t either .
    It’s always interesting to me watching Paul work, and if there was ever any doubt that he can make music with any instrument....

    Furthermore these Electric Argument songs were quickly assembled and for the most part made up on the spot.

    So basically he instinctively knew how to map these songs out with all these crazy instruments and knew how it would all gel together.

    Now THAT is genius.


    I envision McIII being in this same vein on some level. I'm excited.

    "Hosanna" and "Lady Madonna" through me for a bit of a loop. Why not cross-promote the new picture disc by putting "We All Stand Together" there, and why not use this as an excuse to finally add "Once Upon a Long Ago" to streaming services?
