Is Paul`s new album`s name to be called "The Unverse and Beyond"?
If it is, he should thank Terence Dickinson.

I had to Google him!

December 23, 2017 - paulmccartney.com "You Gave Me the Answer - Christmas and New Year Special..."
https://www.paulmccartney.com/news-blogs/news/you-gave-me-the-answer-christmas-and-new-year-special
... We asked Paul, âWhat would you like to achieve in 2018?â
Paul: âIâll probably be putting out a new album. So, Iâd like that to be something I really love and then hopefully the fans will love it too! Weâre putting the finishing touches to it now and at the beginning of next year. So, I would like to achieve making that a really great album. Fingers crossed! Thatâs not what itâs called, but fingers crossed! [Pauses] It could be⌠it COULD be the new album title!â
Sounds like Paul would like to get the new album released before he tours again next Spring... fingers crossed!
-
Paul joked his new album name might be âFingers Crossedâ
could easily see see a picture of him on the cover with his fingers crossed on the frets of his acoustic guitar.
might be a better name than âNewerâ
any guesses from the board?
-
I donât care if he calls it âBangers and Mashâ as long as he releases it!
-
How about "Yonks At Sixes and Sevens"?
-
Hey, at least this is the first solid indication that the new album is close to completion. Send good thoughts!

I agree Nancy. Like I have said quite a few times, I am more into McCartney releasing new music than his seemingly never ending tours.

Now that Sgt Pepper has been released, the focus for MPL should be switching to the new album. But taking a look ahead, there does not seem to be a whole lot of time to promote the album. We know it's eventually coming soon, I mean it will be sent to those who purchased tickets for the later shows on the tour. But when you look ahead, when will there be time? June.....although they are off, if would be quite difficult to do at this point without any advance notice. We are already almost in June July.......bulk of the month touring August....no touring and the band is not on call and off for the month September......back to touring most of the month in NYC area mostly October...we have at least 6 confirmed shows and 2 or 3 rumored ones This leaves November/December.....however at least some of that looks to be touring as well. Don't ask me where, I can't tell you but awefully good chance of some more shows. So this begs the question...How and when will this album be promoted? What does everyone think?
I am starting to wonder if something is wrong. Â I remember reading RS magazine article that it was one of their albums to watch for in 2017. Now we are into March 2018 and still no clue as to when it will be out.

Nothing is probably âwrong.â This is Paul McCartney weâre dealing with, remember? Lol!

I know everyone is anxious to hear the new album, but I'm glad he's taking his time to get it just right and how he wants it.  He's always been a perfectionist when it comes to his music, and that's not a bad thing, it shows he strives to give his best! I'm sure like any artist, he has to feel comfortable knowing what he releases is the best product possible, especially when it comes to the mixing and editing.

A little update of sorts on Paul's album - Geoff Emerick tweeted a couple of days ago;
"Thank you Paul McCartney for calling me the other day! Look forward to listening to your new record. I'd love to mix it and be a part of it".
and posted on instagram;
"Paul McCartney my good friend called me the other day and asked me to go listen to his new record. I hope to see him this week and hopefully get to mix it.."
So things are very definitely moving and now i'm really excited!!   Bring it on!

Thats encouraging news that Geoff Emerick may well be involved although it almost definitely means now that the album won't be out until October at the earliest.

I was hearing 3rd or 4th quarter prior to that so it looks to be in line.

Well that makes sense then. I was hoping we'd get the album a bit earlier in the year than that, but better late than never!
How do you think this will affect any live dates he might do this year, Bob? There are rumblings already about some dates in South America in October/November, which would fit nicely with an album release in Q3/4. I presume he wont tour again until after the album release, in which case we might have some months to go before we get any news in that regard. I must admit though, im not overly familiar with his tour patterns - I find them confusing to say the least. I just hope he comes to say hello to us in the UK this year!

With Emerick on board, the album must sound like late-period Beatles. Excellent news.

Let's not get carried away. Nothing I've seen confirms any actual involvement by Emerick. That he's aware of it and would love to be involved doesn't mean he will be.
