Paul's New Album-- "New"-- CONFIRMED
-
Heads up to those looking for an FYE store here in the States. You may have one in your town and not even know it. Checked their website and turns out they now own what was once an indy near me but have not changed the name. This was confirmed by the employee when I called the shop. Unfortunately, he was totally in the dark about the special light up cube and said their copies of New haven't come in yet, apparently they normally arrive a week before the release date. As tomorrow is a postal holiday, he wasn't sure if they would make it in via UPS tomorrow or perhaps not show up until Tuesday or even later (heaven forbid!) I would love to get that cube, fingers crossed but want the album on the release date.

I just called the closest FYE to me, and at first the guy said I had to "reserve" for the cube, but then he went to double-check, they said that no one had reserved it yet, that they definitely have it, and I can just come in on Tuesday and get it. Thanks for the heads up, John!

I actually have a FYE near where I work, and stopped by the other evening. I pre-ordered the standard version (I'll also be getting the Japanese and Best Buy exclusives), and already got the cube. Was so excited since I didn't think I'd be getting it until Tuesday with the album! I'm wondering if it was an accident and I wasn't supposed to have it yet. Oh well There is also a Best Buy nearby and I'l be picking the album there on my lunch break, but have to wait to listen to it until later in the evening when I get home from work. It's gonna kill me to wait! I'm very happy to have gotten the cube and also have an affinity for color-changing little do-dads, already have a few of the battery operated tea lights as well as some nightlights. The one I have differs from the promo pics I saw earlier in this thread, as it only has the NEW logo and Paul's signature on one side. Or maybe there are different versions 'out there'...

Very cool that you got the cube already! I'm traveling & trying to map my trip by where the FYE locations are. : (not working to well though)

I heard it's supposed to be about 3" x3"

I just listened to "Struggle" from Japanese iTunes. The song is just ok. well, It is just a bonus track for Japanese fans those who have to pay extra $ to get this song. I don't think I'd buy a Japanese version of "NEW" CD just for this song. The good thing though, you can buy this song it self from iTunes if you have a Japanse credit card. Anyway, You can listen to a sample of the song from Japanese iTunes and tell me what do u think.

Once again...Thank you for keeping track! So which one are you shootin for?
Still not 100% sure, but leaning toward trying to find a store with the cube on Tuesday (perhaps FYE), and buying the deluxe version to get it. I wonder if there's anyone OUT THERE who will try to get all the different versions.
I always buy more than one copy of Beatles' or solo Beatles' recordings/products. I sort of view it as "helping the cause," and there's a bit of buzz I get being in a shop and picking up a copy and purchasing it...several times at different shops! I give 'em as gifts. I gave lots of people "LOVE". In this case...with more than one version, it could be even a better reason to buy multiple copies.

I've been covering the album intensely since the rumors first started about it. This is my list of stories (about 40) that includes my full review of the album I posted Saturday. Hope you'll take a look. http://www.examiner.com/article/beatles-101-paul-mccartney-s-new-album-read-all-about-it
There's a lot to keep up with! I'm trying not to read any more reviews till after I hear it Tuesday, but I'm excited that the praise is pretty nearly unanimous.
The one song he (the reviewer) sort of doesn't care that much for is 'Hosanna". He thought one of the bonus cuts would have been better in its place; gives one of 'em and A+. He gave 'Hosanna' a C. I've read that others...here...have cited it (Hosanna) as their favorite. Guess I'll soon find out what my own opinion on that one is.

I know it's going to be incredibly difficult to wait an extra week since I purchased the Japanese deluxe edition. I know I'm resourceful enough to get the Japanese exclusive track but I really wanted it all on one CD; that's the old school in me. A physical release it very important to me and my collection.
-
Aaargh! Someone on another forum said that the Target version arrived in the mail, and that it DOES have the two bonus tracks in addition to the DVD! I remember someone else confirming that there are no bonus tracks, but this guy describes it in detail, even saying that "Scared" is a track by itself on the CD (but not on the cover). If it's true, I'm thinking I might go to FYE for the standard CD and the cube, and then to Target for the exclusive with the DVD and bonus tracks (minus "Struggle", of course). I'll look at this again in the morning. Too tired now. Good night!

Yes! It's already on Spotify..can't wait to hear it..was afraid I had to wait until I got it in the mail..

Updated with new info: Target exclusive has 2 bonus tracks! Your guide to buying the "NEW" album, all CDs out Oct 14 in UK and Japan, Oct 15 in US. (Of course, things could still change (!), and links could break. Any errors or updates, let me know.) Standard CD - with 12 tracks, plus 13th hidden track: Scared (with bonus lighted cube at some independent stores - and FYE only if you arrive in person - can't pre-order online, but may have to reserve by phone - call ahead to be sure) Amazon US: http://amzn.to/19GquHQ Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/1ahlpqi independent store with cube: http://www.streetlightrecords.com/Promo/1986. - just an example; link is defective, can't add product to cart Vinyl LP - with 12 tracks, not clear if hidden track is included; release pushed back to November 4 in UK, November 15 in US (and note that if you buy through Amazon, you won't get the AutoRip MP3s for up to 48 hours after purchase) - already available in some other countries, though (with bonus lighted cube possibly at some independent stores - not clear about availability since vinyl is delayed) Amazon US: http://amzn.to/1678bvg Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/1bNL0xK Deluxe CD (and iTunes deluxe download) - with 12 tracks, plus hidden track, plus two bonus tracks: Turned Out, Get Me Out Of Here (sticker mentions 2 bonus tracks, as well as 'New' and 'Queenie Eye' being the singles) (with bonus lighted cube at some independent stores - and FYE only if you arrive in person - can't pre-order online, but may have to reserve by phone - call ahead to be sure) Amazon US: http://amzn.to/GL8qWi Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/19Gr1K1 iTunes US: http://bit.ly/15AhdUf Target exclusive CD - with 12 tracks, plus hidden track (which is not "hidden" on the actual CD, just on the cover), plus two bonus tracks: Turned Out, Get Me Out Of Here; plus DVD (30 minutes, Canadian tour "Rendez-vous" interview) http://tgt.biz/19ywhmN Note: the website shows just the 12 main tracks, but the bonus tracks are confirmed to be on this CD. Best Buy exclusive CD - with 12 tracks, plus hidden track, plus 'album laminate' and photo cards (no longer lists badge) http://bit.ly/187M5wx Note that Best Buy is also selling the standard CD and the deluxe CD, and that their own exclusive CD may or may not have bonus tracks. Japanese CD - with 12 tracks, plus hidden track, plus three bonus tracks: Turned Out, Get Me Out Of Here, Struggle [looks like CD Japan is cheaper than Amazon.co.jp] CDJapan: http://bit.ly/15w2ZnB Amazon Japan: http://amzn.to/GTwTcK Note: you can only get "Struggle" by buying the CD or official download, as opposed to an unofficial download, if you know what I mean. Walmart - There is NO Walmart exclusive CD. They have the standard CD and the deluxe CD, apparently at the cheapest prices of physical stores. ($14.88 for deluxe: http://www.walmart.com/ip/28997612)) FYE - There is NO FYE exclusive CD. They have the standard CD and the deluxe CD. But they do have the lighted cube in limited quantities at some locations as a free bonus. Call ahead for availability, and you may have to reserve. For those interested in the color of the front cover artwork, it's definitely the orange/pink combo on the standard CD and LP, and it's definitely the blue/purple combo on the deluxe CD, the Target and Best Buy exclusive CDs, and the Japanese one.

It was Target's website that showed no bonus tracks, but they are there! See my updated list above.

I really hope you're able to get one! The cube is 3x3 and has different settings...it can be changed to each individual color and there are two different speeds for color rotation. Here are the ads that were in the Best Buy and Target Sunday paper inserts, you can see one of the postcards and what I think is the 'art laminate'

Just to say I'm excited about the release tomorrow. The 3 songs I've heard ("New", "Save Us" and "Anybody out there") have proved to be top notch songs. So a lot to look forward to. Think I'm going to stick on Please Please Me in a moment and think about this artists 50 year career- once the fading chord from A Day In The Life has ended.
Chris, it's Everybody Out There. And didn't you hear Queenie Eye (the Times Square mini-concert?)

Looking like number 2 in the UK charts might be possible then?

I just texted my son who works at Target to get me the deluxe exclusive CD!

Nice to have that family connection there. Think it's Target for me as well since it now appears they will have the DVD with the Deluxe edition that I want. Called an FYE affiliate nearby and whoever I spoke to was sort of clueless, said they "might" have the CD in by Friday. Didn't even bother asking about the cube as he sounded very doubtful on the CD itself. Nobody from the UK on this thread telling us about their "New" buying experience over there. Hope that went well for them.
