Paul McCartney - Egypt Station (#1 album in US) Appreciation Thread 2.0 - New and Improved

I like this cover of Get Enough. The song is definitely growing on me, though it still feels more like the beginning of a song that suddenly gets cut off at the end.

 

Like these?

 

Or these?

 

You two definitely have the same disease ...

 

I use my iPod, so I rarely (if ever) see the shiny silver of a CD after the day I receive it. So my supplemental 2-CD Archive sets are truly useless -- except in the rare cases when they have something not in the Super Deluxe (e.g., "The Mess" live with the fadeout).

 

I have quit being a crazed collector
Unfortunately my wife don t agree

 

C'mon Arnie. You mean to tell me you didn't get all excited when it was re-issued 2-1/2 years ago?

 

I can’t wait to get my hands on Two Virgins.

 

If you do, their fathers will be after you and it'll be Life With The Lions next...

 

Was that on LP or CD?
If only CD, then it wouldn't interest me because I wouldn't be able to tell if John was circumcised or not as those CD covers are so small...

 

Or run for your life, more likely...

 

Both.

Pervert.

 

Ok, you've stumped me....what are "cd exclusive from disk union" and "indie store exclusive"?

 

But does anybody have the White Album 30th Anniversary pen?

 

Disk Union is a company (record store?) in Japan that sells exclusive editions of albums with deluxe packaging, typically able to hold additional albums by the same artist. By “indie store exclusive,” I think he means Record Store Day releases.

 

You don't have the digipack on this list. Or if it's #1 then you are missing the red band concertina CD.

Sigh . . . so disappointing.

 

I believe RSD/"indie" stores received a lithograph of the artwork to sell with their copies.

 

I haven't found the digipak in store for the "lifetime" vinyl. And I'm too worried to try and order one online for fear they will send me the version I have. So right now I'm on the look out for it.

 

Disk union offered an Egypt Station button with purchase.
The indie store exclusive was an art print with purchase of any version, for me I choose to buy a second copy of the limited concertina vinyl so I have two of those one has the art print tucked in it insert style.

 

OK. I thought the references to Disk Union and indie stores were hypothetical. The real freebies don’t sound too compelling to me! The art print would if it were larger.

 

They were not the greatest of freebies by a long shot. But you know, had to do it as a completest.

 

OK , I do have the art print that I got when my wife bought me the deluxe vinyl. The Japanese exclusive was just a sheet of stickers right?

 

The stickers were the exclusive with the Japan CD from "CDJapan" ....there was another Japanese exclusive from "Disk Union" and they offered a button.

 

Photo of stickers and button please?

 

I do not know how to post them here but you're more than welcome to follow me on Instagram. I post many of my vinyl and CD there. My user name is ricky_roma
Just send a request. I have the stickers and button posted there.
