Paul McCartney - McCartney III (Dec 18, 2020)*

So the $7 is a card sleeve with just a demo and the $14 is a softpack with full album and demo?
Wish you could buy shirts without bundles. I'd like to have the red and blue

 

Given the confusion with this messaging and marketing - even if one agrees with this flea market around a record - it’s clusterphunk

 

So maybe in 2 days there will be 4 different vinyl with unique bonus demos or 4 different 45's

 

One more thing, Doc. If the cheap versions only include one song, then why is the promotional blurb for McIII featured on each of those product description pages, just like on the (previously existing) page for the "regular" McIII cd?

And I trust you noticed that the pictures of the items with dice/masks/shirt all show the "card" version or "mini-jacket CD" as the website says. Are you thinking that if you order one of those items you won't get the full album with that package, just the "single"? Obviously there is no single - it's just a single cardboard sleeve of the album or the "deluxe" softpak edition that's being pictured in these new items.

 

Soooo, NO bonus tracks on the 'Target' CD, right?

 

I *think* the $7 is the full album too + color specific bonus track. They're using that sleeve for the boxes in the other bundles, I think.

The extra $7 seems to get you the digipack sleeve - and most likely a booklet - although I haven't confirmed that.

Cheers,
Paul

 

No, both are "The album + demo bonus track", the only difference is the packaging (and the bonus track, depending on the color).

 

Correct

 

I thought the whole thing was supposed to be a home recording.

 

They have one of the most iconic artist ever.He has been documented on photo through the years unlike almost any other artist in history.
Yet when it comes to t-shirts without fail anything to do with his releases and live show merchandise is almost always hand in hand with cheap looking tacky or downright cheesy designs.
RANT over

 

Speaking of the color boxes - anyone digging the audio clip? Another fragment from the album

Cheers,
Paul

 

So, the $14 Deluxe version has the Bonus track and the regular album on one disc. Can't beat getting the whole album for an extra $7.

 

I hope so! I'm not opposed to streaming at all. It's the only way I've experienced the Flaming Pie Archive actually.

 

Reading through the descriptions some more - if you order one of the bundles - you get the single sleeve cover with the album + color variant bonus track. That confirms the selling it by itself for $7 to my mind.

Cheers,
Paul

 

How am I doing folks? Remarkably calm here!

 

A sale is a sale and should count. Just not albums included with concert ticket sales-they don't count.

 

No. The difference is that the deluxe version has the soft pack sleeve, and the bonus demo version is the same audio, but with a simple cardboard sleeve. It's not just the bonus demo.

 

Again - the $7 has the full album as well - and the color variant track - just to be clear here. They use this single sleeve for the boxes in the bundles above.

Cheers,
Paul

 

And I hope you send that to me

 

I think that the bundle cd only differs in as much as it is in a mini card case while the deluxe one is in a digi pack.

 

Or they are demos of songs on McCartney III, just in their earlier raw form. Perhaps in some cases just Paul and acoustic guitar or something like that.

 

G

Got it! How can you beat the full album for only $7? Strange how the label shown on the deluxe version shows many titles but the $7 version does not.

 

I

Would prefer to just buy a blue card sleeve only, but that option is not available.

 

So - currently - I'm thinking I'll pick up:

• White box set with dice - because they rule
• Red Deluxe - just to have one of the full variants that's not the default white cover
• Blue standard
• Yellow standard

This may change shortly.

Cheers,
Paul

 

That's so odd. It's right there on the US site.
