The original yellow only had 333 of them. That was through Third Man Records, a Jack White Co.

Review from Record Collector.
I think that is without a doubt the best review I have read due to it's great analysis of the songs with interesting takes on the melody, lyrics and vocals. Thanks for sharing !! Some of my thoughts regarding his review below:
-
Reviewer describes "Seize the Day" as "jaunty ultra melodic sunshine pop" and it makes you wonder why it was not put out as a single, guess we will see soon.
-
On "Woman and Wives, his voice is describes as being full of "treacles and trembles" but works on this song. I am a little nervous about this one.
-
"Pretty Boys" sounds like one of those classic McCartney acoustic song with him looking back at his youth when he was one of those "pretty boys". I have a feeling the vocal on this might be like "Early Days".
-
It is universal that all reviews including this one likes "When Winter Comes/Winter Bird". Since the vocal will be from 1992, I wonder hearing him sing with that voice will make everyone feel when they hear him on other songs.
-
This review absolutely raves about "Deep Deep Feeling" so I am looking forward to seeing if a song of that length can really hold it together for me at 8 minutes long.
-
"Slidin" is a heavy metal type rocker and the reviewer makes a "snarky" remark about McCartney's traveling band, basically saying McCartney can do a better "heavy" sound by himself .
-
Overall, this is another very positive review but does mention some quibbles like "Lavatory Lil"

Regarding Paul's voice, I have read that he either sings in falsetto, which he can still do quite nicely, or that he lays on so many harmony vocals that any rough ones would not really stand out. There should be none that we may skip over...ala "Confidante." His voice is "weathered," but that's okay. It should be. I believe he will have nice moments and nothing embarrassing. That's my assumption, and I'm going to stick with it!!! As for "Lavatory Lil," on paper, it sounds like something I wouldn't like...cringe worthy, but I have read that it is a jaunty, fun little song that people will sing along with. If I can sing along to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," I can sing along with this one too!!! Paul is here and there and everywhere (no pun intended) the past month being interviewed. I have to believe that he is proud of what he has done or he would not be doing all of the "promotion."

I heard a You Tube review of McCartney lll done by a very young man dressed up like a Wayne's World character. He said he could only hear the rough bootleg version now, but he couldn't wait for Dec. 18. He had to hear it now. He was very favorable about the entire album, but the interesting thing is he singled out "Lavoratory Lil" as one of his top favorites and mentioned things he liked about it, LOL. Some reviewers have been a bit down on that one.
I read a piece somewhere about Paul describing what he'd read to inspire him to write "Kiss of Venus." Some sort of poetic deep story about "the stars" guiding one. Paul sounded so intelligent discussing it ('cause he is, 'course !)/ It was an allegory.
McCartney lll sounds inspired. I know it's gonna be real good. One poster somewhere wrote she thought "McCartney" with the cherries sounded like "demo's " but I think it was so much more. So very much more.

Got a feeling "Lavatory LiL' is going to be one of those "love it" or "hate it" songs -lol.

YANKEE fan wrote he thinks "Lavoratory Lil" will be one of those "love or hate ones," LOL. Yes, like "Fuh You" was, which I happened to love 'cause it's so doggone catchy. The Wayne's World boy said he thought "Lav. Lil" is unusually catchy, among other attributes.

unfortunately many people are buying and reselling at very high prices on ebay... very sad. When I posted here I saw some LPs for sale, but it sold out. I believe that the colored LPs was only orange in the (UDiscover) US store - maybe it was little publicized or people just looked at the UK Store where it is sold out and thanks for the number
P.S. In the US store it costs less than the UK store

Just missed the purple one!!! Shucks

See link below from "The Times" review that came out yesterday. They gave the album 4 stars but I can't read most of the review because I am not a subscriber. Maybe one of our UK friends on this board can help us and let us read the entire review.

Pretty decent review. "Deep Deep Feeling" seems to be another one of those "Like it or Hate it" song which in a way does not surprise me to to it's length. Some very nice comments about McCartney's vocals which is a nice surprise.
