Paul McCartney Flaming Pie Archive Collection Thread

Your point?

 

Framing and displaying these posters/pics etc. is a complete non-issue for me.

The sets aren't compromised in any way by carefully removing and displaying the artwork. (They can easily be returned to the box at any time).
Can't think of the need to keep things together, (All Together Now), unless I was getting ready to sell a box set, which ain't gonna happen anyway.

With regard to folded posters, also not a problem. My All Things Must Pass poster his multiple folds and that is one bad ass cool poster that I have framed and on display for many years.
The White Album poster, Imagine, are all folded and all iconic. - A big part of my growing up. I have rolled posters on display, but they don't trump my folded ones by a long shot.

(Sage wisdom from old Sargy): "Sometimes the image exceeds the folds."

As for the deluxe box sets making it difficult to "get at" the music, also not a problem. I DO NOT store my cds and dvds that I play, in those boxes anyway. These go in separate jewel cases.
Those abrasive cardboard slit holders will scratch your discs. In fact, if you look, many are already scratched from the factory. (A reality I discovered and decided to live with).

 

Social distancing on the train...

As someone mentioned, this was taken a few years ago.

 

When you're living in America, perhaps
But if I were to buy from one of these US "deal" offers, I would have to add massive shipping costs AND add taxes and customs costs.
And then if I buy from a UK or EU spot, the price tag is 300€, that means $350. And there's no $100 off deal to be found.
We're losing either way

 

It's still a fanboy fantasy though, isn't it? You're on the train and there's Macca, just sitting by himself!

He sees you, waves you over, and has a three-hour chat in which he tells you everything he's kept under wraps all these years!

 

Yes...like how he wrote "Yesterday", or how he came up with "the movement you need is on your shoulder" line in "Hey Jude".

 

Oh, that's fantasy talk. He'll never reveal those secrets - they go to the grave with him!

 

Then you find out it was actually Billy Shears and he was yanking your chain.

 

What do you mean by a fanboy fantasy? That scenario happens to me every other week with Paul...

 

Totally 100% agree. I've got a bootleg that is the soundtrack to that film and it's one of my go-to Wings/solo Paul listens. The film is fun as hell, too.

 

Every other week:
Arnie: "'Scrambled eggs'... you don't say! That's just amazing! And how about Hey Jude? Do you have any memories of that one?"

 

2 hours and 45 minutes discussing "Bip Bop".
15 minutes chatting about vegetarian dishes.

 

And never once did you ask..." who sang the aahhhs on "A Day in the Life"!?!?!

 

I don't need to ask questions with obvious answers.

 

Without doubt, it should have been a standalone release

 

You should asked him to hum few bars of "Carnival of Light".

 

Well, I cancelled my Amazon order today for the Deluxe Edition. I just do not feel the value is there for the cost. Even if it get's discounted. I feel this should have started maybe tops at $175 and then discounted from there. I did pre-order the Hires from Qobuz for $46.10.

I also, today, pre-ordered "Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time - Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy CD Boxset". The total cost for that with UPS worldwide shipping is $201.60. 24 CDs. I think that will keep me busy this fall.

 

Speaking of pricing, this is the current pricing for the Deluxe set. Never have I seen Amazon having the highest price for an item!! I fully expected Amazons price to drop, like for 3 hours in the middle of a Wednesday night/Thursday morning but ... NO!! Based upon these prices, I am considering importCDs for the deluxe ... or perhaps dropping down to the 2-CD set.

Anyone have experience dealing with importCDs?

I've went with them about 6-7 times.. never had any problems.

But I agree.. Amazon charging more than the official store is wild.

Does Qobuz provide any artwork scans or just the audio?

 

I cancelled mine as well. It’s a great looking box but all I really want is the music.

 

I framed the Mr. Kite poster from the Sgt. Pepper box set and it’s a stunner. Maybe I should make this a Covid project and pull out some faves from the deluxe sets and get them framed. Hmm, something to think about!

 

What’s yours? What’s his? The picture is not Paul on the train recently.

 

I don't see where he claims anything of the sort; he merely mentioned he found the picture on Twitter. I like the picture, and I'm glad he posted it, recent photo or not. This, in a thread about a non-recent album. Got it!

 

As a mod on another forum, (drumforum.org), I do understand taking a break. I moderate on that forum but, after 15 years, I don't post hardly ever and have to step away.
What cracks me up, however, is posting that your leaving. I guess members want to make a point.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
I'm in for the deluxe and 3 lps. After the Suitcase, I do feel a little burned.

 

Let’s be real...if it was autographed , people would be angry that he only signed his first name!
