Paul McCartney - Egypt Station - Traveller’s Edition / Explorer's Edition*

Thanks to this reminder I now have!

 

I just got an email from Bullmoose that my colored vinyl has shipped.

 

I also did the “switch 2-day shipping off and back on again” option for the Explorer’s Edition on Amazon and can confirm that my anticipated delivery date is May 17th now.

 

Are there musical credits for Frank Sinatra's Party and Sixty Second Street?

 

After you complete the jigsaw puzzle, right?

 

It's 500 pieces for God's sake! It would take months of diligent work, even in the hands of a professional jigsawerrer, to complete such a puzzle.

 

#1630 in Canada.
Amazed that the postman actually left it on the front step — normally they don't.

 

Why does "Confidante" have a separate publishing credit?

 

I've loved The Beatles since laying eyes on them as a 6 year old in 1964. I continued loving and supporting them as solo artists. That said...why does Paul feel he has to do this? Is Egypt Station that much of a milestone in his career that he feels his fans at large will clamor for such an item at such an expense? I guess so. But I, for one, don't get it. I'd spend $500 (if I had it) for one full album of the developmental progression of ONE Beatle song rather than spend it on this "special" suitcase. Sorry......

 

Me too, it worked, now arriving on May 17th. Thanks for the tip!

 

MPL Inc appears to be subsidiary of MPL Ltd. What that means I don't fully know.

Unless unlike the rest of the songs, Confidante was licensed or registered (whatever the business terminology is) before or after a MPL restructuring.

Has it been confirmed how many of the colored vinyl Explorer are being pressed?

 

Haha. Not a chance. Just gonna slap a new address label on it and ship it out.

 

6. but one is for Beatrice.

 

Egypt Station radio special? I must have missed this....when did it come out?

 

Two official ones:
Sept 4- Track by Track Sirius Radio (78 mins)
Sept 7- The Making of Egypt Station Sirius Radio (40 mins)

 

Amazon just nicked my credit card and Explorer vinyl is arriving this Friday.

 

The week the album was released

 

Mike as always, on the ball. There are those two radio specials and then I also got the single cues from the track by track by themselves. For those who have the Traveler edition, the Press Kit contained inside of the C-Link envelope has a track by track description in writing. These cues are the audio version of that press kit of Paul talking about each of the 16 original tracks

Making of actually clocks in at 38 minutes and change but call it 40 for good measure

 

IIRC it was announced many months ago that the Cavern Club show was going to be a DVD/Blu-Ray release in the future. I can see that arriving in Oct or Nov, sometime after the Abbey Road extravaganza.

 

Back in the day, recordings made in the UK were published by MPL Communications Ltd, while those recorded outside the UK (primarily in North America) were published by MPL Communications Inc.

 

Already Gone...

 

That’s for the Syd Barrett set.
