New Paul McCartney album "Egypt Station" coming September 7, 2018*

How then might this logic be applied to Carnival of Light?

After all, there was lots of speculation that its release was imminent before its 50th anniversary deadline.

 

I think the key difference is that there are likely THOUSANDS of us who have the Esher recordings (in varying quality) while no one appears to have Carnival, so there’s not much financial risk to Calderstone for the latter, but quite a bit for the former...

 

So if Carnival ever becomes available for purchase then who gets the money now that its copyright has expired?

 

You’re going to have to pay my retainer fee for me to answer that one.

 

And here I was fully expecting you to say who's on first!

 

Just kidding?! You? That's so out of character!

 

Sometimes, there is a post from someone who doesn't know my "methods". And in the above case, I made slight fun of someone's eyesight. I didn't want them to take it personally, so I made sure to add the "just kidding" part. You never know who might take these things the wrong way.

 

No, it's Summer of 2059. The year of release for the new album.

 

The recording is public domain so anyone could sell it. The composition is still under copyright, so the appropriate fees would have to be payed to McCartney and the Lennon estate.

 

Interestingly, Rolling Stone just published a lengthy article on the Esher Demos. Coincidence? I suspect not...
Rob Sheffield Looks Back at the Beatles' Intimate White Album Demos

Sorry, I know this probably belongs in one of the White Album deluxe edition threads, but those things grew so quickly that I've never looked in on them...

 

Yup some big news going on over there....

 

Fantastic. Thanks.

 

That was incredible

 

Fascinating stuff about the White demos. In that New Rolling Stone article.

I think it plays into what M. Carrera said about Apple being focused on the White album this year.

Maybe we'll get the new McCartney album in a month or two, leaving the a gap to market the White 50th for the holidays.

There are 7 months left in the year. I'm not sure how many new Apple releases can be managed in 7 months..Or how many they have managed in the past.

Could they possibly manage McCartneys new album, White 50th, the 2 McCartney archive albums, & the Lennon Imagine expanded, all in 7 months? Is that possible ?

They better hurry

 

They managed to reissue 17 (SEVENTEEN!!!) Apple releases in 1 month alone in October 2010:

Various - Fresh From Apple Records (Apple Records Box Set)

So where there is a will, there is a way.

 

That's actually a bit of an over-simplification, but for English-speakers, it's what we learned in school...

Haiku - Wikipedia

 

Put it in the public domain and press copies for $0.79 each.

People [ok, not people, but us...] will buy 1,000,000 copies... and of those, about 27 will be listened to all the way through...

 

Lady Madonna?

 

How did you know that I was planning to buy 27 copies?

 

I think it would be cool for Paul to include a few instrumentals in the new album. I think a contemporary style would align nicely with his older style of creating melodies and chord progressions. This could also allow for Paul to sing on fewer tracks, potentially making them sound relatively better. Also, instrumentals are cool!

 

My sources says that the album defitively will feature some non-vocal track. In fact the first single will be a cover of John Cages 4,33. For those not familiar with that number here it is

 

Mon-vocal?????

 

I really hope we get this album before summer's over!!

 

Jinksy, do you or anyone else here know if this Esher article is an online article only or if it's in a magazine issue
also?

I ask because I have a subscription to Rolling Stone . If it's an online article only, I'll read it but if it's in an issue I have coming I'll wait.

I dislike getting magazines and I've already read the most interesting article in it online already, if that makes sense.

 

I don’t know, Glenda, but given your advanced age, I suggest you read it now rather than waiting for the post!
