Passenger Sid Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Paul's new songs not too shabby. "I Don't Know" especially...got a little goose-pimply the first time I heard it. Maybe it was the almost Hey Jude-sounding intro. And I like the simple lyrics. "Come On To Me" kind of fun musically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I swore I wouldn't indulge in another McCartney show, after having seen him four times in my life...all since 2010. I wanted to make sure that the last time I ever saw him live, it wasn't too poignant. But the first thing I did after I finished watching that clip was look to see if there were any tour dates. (There aren't.) I may have to go again, if given the chance. Either way, I feel like every Paul show I've seen has been a gift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll go every time he swings through and I’m not even a huge Beatles fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Been really enjoying some of the recent events in the publicity drive for the new album - now the Grand Central Station concert is on youtube in full and also the LIPA conversation with Jarvis Cocker. Just saying for any big fans like me who weren’t necessarily following events too closely - just stumbled upon them myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is it just coincidence that along with all the Paul stuff in the news the clip from the Imagine re-release happens to be How Do You Sleep? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The 50th anniversary edition of The Beatles (White Album) is now officially available for pre-order. The Beatlemaniac in me will likely enjoy poring over the bonus material, but the Beatlemaniac in me is really disappointed the fabled 20+ minute take of “Helter Skelter” isn’t being included. https://thebeatlesstore.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They all seemed completely bored in that footage. It was cool to see Nicky Hopkins play the Wurlitzer --- at least I think it was a Wurlitzer. Harrison's tone was great, too --- though it too seemed a little uninspired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I recall seeing that film years ago. Of course - later on John said that song was about himself and not Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 $180 for super deluxe edition on Amazon. Like the forthcoming Dylan box, seems excessive for 6 cd's and a book. $75 seems more in the ballpark. But will be hard to pass up I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 $180 for super deluxe edition on Amazon. Like the forthcoming Dylan box, seems excessive for 6 cd's and a book. $75 seems more in the ballpark. But will be hard to pass up I suppose. The Amazon price just dropped to $145. If you pre-order, Amazon guarantees the lowest price hit during the pre-sale period. It's crazy that the 3 CD version (white album + complete Esher demos) is only $25, but you add the book and 3 CDs of additional session stuff, and the price jumps up $120.

Winston Legthigh Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just noticed that the 50th Anniversary multi-CD set for Electric Ladyland is going to be released on the same day as the White Album stuff. Original release dates: Electric Ladyland: Oct 16, 1968 White Album: Nov 22, 1968 - The Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society came out the same day. (which has its own big vinyl box set coming out on Oct 26) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Anyone wants a dropbox link to the 50th Anniversary White Album, plus the Esher demos (formatted in Apple Lossless for iTunes), drop me a note.

Worth it for the strings in Glass Onion alone. Is this offer still open? I'd love it ... I saw Rob Sheffield read/talk last night about his book on the Beatles. He raved about the 50th anniversary edition - though it sounds like he got to listen to it at Abbey Road Studios with Giles Martin (which would have been incredible).

calvino Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 $180 for super deluxe edition on Amazon. Like the forthcoming Dylan box, seems excessive for 6 cd's and a book. $75 seems more in the ballpark. But will be hard to pass up I suppose. Finally got it from the library - it really is a nice looking set. Starting with Disc 4, which is studio rehearsals/takes and such. Revolution Take 18 is quite the trip. Enjoy take 2 of Helter Skelter, also. Looking forward to hearing the Blu-ray - which probably will be tomorrow. I have had the Esher Demos for a long while - I have not listened to them in a long while, though - guessing, I must have not have gotten much out of it, before. I can't imagine the Stones ever putting out a set like this. I am not sure which record they would even consider doing it for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 They did a Satanic Majesties box and I think a Beggars Banquet box - but not any sort of demos or anything to make it worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yeah - those sets are nothing like this White Album collection or like the Peppers' one. It still might be a rights thing with the Stones -- the whole ABKCO catalog. There is plenty of material in the ABKCO vault to do a proper Satanic release like the White Album/Pepper release - though I am not sure how well it would sell...I am not sure about the material for Beggers and Let it Bleed.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The Satanic Majesties stuff has been floating around on the interwebs for quite a while. I've got 130 mp3 tracks of Satanic Sessions that I apparently downloaded in 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yeah some of it is interesting, too - I would support a proper release of the Satanic stuff --- in the the giant book that comes with it, like the White Album release - Keith can write a piece trashing both the Satanic release and Peppers for good measure...

Analogman Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I guess we may see a mew release of Let It Be after all. The Beatles 34 mins · New Film ProjectWe are proud to announce an exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and the acclaimed Academy Award winning director Sir Peter Jackson The new film will be based around 55 hours of never-released footage of The Beatles in the studio, shot between January 2nd and January 31st, 1969. These studio sessions produced The Beatles’ Grammy Award winning album Let It Be, with its Academy Award winning title song. The album was eventually released 18 months later in May 1970, several months after the band had broken up. The filming was originally intended for a planned TV special, but organically turned into something completely different, climaxing with The Beatles’ legendary performance on the roof of Apple's Savile Row London office — which took place exactly 50 years ago today. Peter Jackson said, "The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about." “I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth,” continues Jackson, “it’s simply an amazing historical treasure-trove. Sure, there’s moments of drama - but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating - it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate”. "I’m thrilled and honoured to have been entrusted with this remarkable footage - making the movie will be a sheer joy.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
