Paul's New Album-- "New"-- CONFIRMED
-
Been reading about the demise of the CD. All these different versions are trying to keep the format alive.
-
I wonder if all these various store versions is a chicken and egg situation when it comes to Paul's teams involvement. Is it the stores demanding an exclusive version as a condition of giving this album prominent shelf space? Rather than Paul's team offering such? In securing such an exclusive the stores know they are guaranteed the "completist" share of the the market along with any other general trade. Martin

I can't imagine Paul being held to ransom by these big retailers myself. I think with easy access to Amazon and their ilk it would be easier for him to stick two fingers up to them and say no. This will be on his terms, i can bet on that. ops:

I imagine Paul's team would have to approve these exclusive versions, but they're certainly not promoting them, that's for sure!

This may be the first time I'll not be a first day buyer. I need to see what the outlets actually have. It seems like Amazon may be number one with the bonus tracks. I hope Target (sans the label) does include the bonus tracks along with the DVD. Best Buy - I've sorta of given up on them since Paul's last non-reissue release.

Thank you very much, must resist though! Have caught a snippet of Early Days (absolutely wonderful) but am trying to wait desperately for the 14th. It does seem unusually quiet around here considering we HAVE A NEW PAUL ALBUM NEXT WEEK!!!! I missed MAF and Electric Arguments launches as I joined in 2009 but the board seems especially quiet considering all the good reviews this album is garnering. Perhaps all Macca fans go in to a self imposed hibernation in advance..

I could not resist. Listened to the samples. Now I really can't wait for the release date. Still not sure where to go to buy the CD....I want the bonus tracks and the DVD and anything else....

At this point, it means buying at least 3 CDs to get all the bonus tracks, the DVD, the badge, and the photo cards. I'm not that much of a completist anymore! Or we can wait to see if Paul eventually does what Bowie is now doing: a deluxe version with a bonus CD and a bonus DVD, months after the original album.

I feel the same way. I want to purchase it next Tuesday, but I don't know who has what. I would like the album with all bonus tracks, but now I hear there is a CD with DVD too?? Honestly, too many options. Gee, I miss when one album (the actual album) was all you had to look for in a store.

Back then, it was all about price and convenience of the store. Now, you need a marketing degree to figure all this out!

I listened to the samples too... Couldn't resist.. Have to say, so far, that the Epworth tracks seem to be the standouts here....
-
Currently the top selling album on Amazon.com! Keep the promotion going Paul!

I'm going to resist the samples, too. I've heard 4 songs and liked them all. That's plenty. I wanna be surprised!

Just listened to the samples - thanks for posting the link. Like we've been hearing, there's such a variety of musical styles! Samples sound good and I cannot wait to get the CD (but which one?)

I'm hearing that when you pre-order NEW from the record store FYE, you get a glowing cube with the NEW logo on it. I can't confirm this on FYE's website. Anyone know for sure? And when does Mojo magazine hit the shelves in the US, with the McCartney cover? When I went to the bookstore, it was still the old one.

Well... this came out of the blue. I work in radio and am well known for my absolute love of Paul McCartney. From my son's middle name being McCartney to the tattoo of his eye on my arm... anyway... my producer friend just called me down the hall to show me what has arrived on the station's system... "New" In spite of the pride I take in the quality of my home system, and the fact that I would like to wait for the official release... I now have the opportunity to listen to the entire album through a set of $10,000 speakers... TODAY.
