21st Century Paul:
Well sooner or later the new single would be aired on some radio... I don't have a clue or when or where. I guess this is not gonna be the new single, probably Paul doesn't even record it (maybe for a Russian Edition, lol). But it is a new song and he has played it live. Petrushka-Paul's new song live in London
there's several videos of other live performances New York soundcheck I love it, if this is not on the album it's gonna be the biggest disappoint since Central Park 4.00 or since Is It Raining in London (from the Off The Ground sessions) Hamish Stuart liveI always thought Petrushka was an old Russian folk song, not a McCartney composition...
Those Were The Days was based on an old Russian tune wasn't it?
Those Were The Days is a cover of a Russian song. Paul saw some Russian musicians singing the song in some club (In London, I think) and then was the idea of recording it with Mary Hopkin. Here's a recording of the song from... 1926!!!
I am not sure, but I don't think Paul will ever sing Petrushka again. Seems it is not allowed? Hope I am wrong though.

Any album news yet? Album title? ; A few songs titles? ; An approximate release date? Am I asking for too much?

Actually, I think some of us on this board are more excited about a new record than McCartney. I just get the feeling playing live seems to be his #1 musical joy.

Petrushka is better received than some "official" songs on the setlits... And it's a unreleased song in the middle of a setlist of legendary songs... And he didn't sing it just anywhere but in the world's probably 2 most legendary venues: London and New York. But it's Paul so maybe he never records it... you know...

When I think he will take 6 or 7 years to release an album... That's the time he needed for writing all his Beatles songs... 1962-1969... So, yes! it's not Paul hasn't done a thing after The Beatles break-up but certainly no period of his works can't even compare to that. Imagine if this was 1969 and he had to release an album of the stuff he was writing for 6 years... how many classics wouldn't be just out of the album?. McCartney 1962-1969 1 Get Back 2 Yesterday 3 Here, There and Everywhere 4 Sgt Pepper LCHB 5 The Long And Winding Road 6 Can't Buy Me Love 7 Here There And Everywhere 8 Penny Lane 9 Eleanor Rigby 10 We Can Work It Out 11 Let It Be 12 Hey Jude 13 Golden Slumbers 14 Carry That Weight 15 The End ... and this would be just an "ordinary" album, not a greatest hits one...

Sounds promising. Is there an anticipated release date for it though? Haven't been around for a while or followed much of what's happening in Macca-land.

People are talking about a fall release but nothing official from Paul and/or MPL.

I would love a fall release, I just hope it's this fall.

What 21st Century Paul says above about this long wait being like if he had only one album from 1962-1969 is mind blowing! My gosh, it makes we want to hear what he has cooked up in the studio. Just back from the D.C. show, which was great. We weren't in field seats for this but I was thinking that if I was, I would have made up a huge poster that said...PLEASE RELEASE YOUR NEXT NEW ALBUM ASAP! I would love for him to have read it and responded with some sort of comment.

One of your best posts, Ollie.

It's a scandal that we're still waiting for this album after all these years. Almost tempted not to bother buying it when it does arrive. What a way to treat your fans.

Hey Squid. I'm not sure why it's a scandal when Bowie waited 10 years and got praised everywhere for that. Paul Simon and Bob Dylan had 5 or 6 years between albums. The Stones last Studio album was 2005. This seems to be the new norm. I'm not sure I see why that's a reason not to support Paul.

IMO, those other artists are not comparable at this point in their careers - mostly they're long past their best, apart from Bowie, who retired after having a heart attack so at least had a reason other than whatever. All I ask for is an album every couple of years - an album of original material, no covers; an album of songs, not doodling. Unless the songs have dried up - which is a possibility, considering MAF was such a disappointment.

I used to not like MAF either. And maybe it's because I'm just eager for a new album but I just played it a week or two ago and ... I liked it. I had trouble remembering what I didn't like about it (except for that very very very lyric. I still didn't like that bit). But damned if I didn't think it had improved with age.

I can't find anything of substance on it - either the songs are about nothing, like Dance Tonight, or they're overblown whimsy, like House of Wax. Feet in the Clouds is one of those hugely embarrassing lyrics, in the manners of "dustbin lid" from The Other Me (though I don't have a problem with that one - at least it has precedent as rhyming slang). As for Gratitude... ugh. Upside: You Tell Me is nice. And I'm fond of Ever Present Past because it's fairly robotic. Only Mama Knows may be good - I can't tell because the mastering of the song is appalling. There was a lot of discussion on this forum at the time of release but most of those threads appear to have been deleted, which is one of the reasons I don't really come here anymore - I don't waste my time writing forum posts just so they can be deleted later.

I loved Memory Almost Full, may be my favorite album.

Ane:
Abe on the new album: Now beginning their second decade together, McCartney?s solo band is working on their fourth studio album. Six years since their last, ?Memory Almost Full? (McCartney?s most recent album, last year?s ?Kisses on the Bottom,? was a collection of Great American Songbook standards), they have ?a wealth of material? amassed, says Laboriel. ?It?s exciting,? he says. ?A lot of different styles. It?s very youthful ? aggressively rock at times, and singer-songwriter, insular and intimate, at others.? http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/music/2013/07/04/keeping-beat-for-sir-paul/waAErTKnLpPaoG4sBDED6J/story.html
If you read this Abe never says he or the other members of Paul's touring band are on the new album. Phew
