]Don't get to excited this is not official. I really hope this cause it would all be great. And concerning Ram, I think the 3rd disc would be Thrillington (hope it's mono) cause Thrillington was not mentioned in the 50+ releases. Like I said in the post this is not official, but let's hope it turns out somewhat like this.
Beat you to it mate I myself am trying not to get too hyped up (nothing wrong with a bit of excitement though!) because there's a long wait and so much that can change. I see it as more of a guideline than of a definite release schedule.

Etcetera posted this on another forum a little while ago and I though it was interesting and share it with everyone here. Some infos about the enormous project, with 50 + deluxe sets : . "First, each deluxe set will have a great amount of bonus stuff, mainly already bootleged stuff but in excellent condition for the reissue ( only 2 or 3 unknown gems per sets ), the unknown stuff will be reserved for the wonderful box sets which will finished the reissue program. The quantitity of bonuses will be linked to the " non " success of the disc at the time : in other words , press to play and driving rain will be full of bonuses. All the b sides and remixes will be included, even it will contain 7 mixes of the same track . The reissues will be spread from 2010 to 2016. Run devil, chaos and driving will be first reissued simply( just to fill the space in records shops ) but will have a deluxe treatement in 2014 . All the titles not yet published but revealed will appear on the cloud or on the last great sets; " Cavendish Parade " has been copyrighted with a different title, because of the refrence of the actual McCartney Home in London . Some deluxe sets will be made in very low quantity and sell only on the mccartney site, and will become very high collectable items. At this stage, the mcgear holly set has some legal problems to be accepted because of the mixing of mike and Paul vocal tracks for the same songs ; Here is the deluxe schedule with hopes, including dvd archives and linda's archives. At the same time, the cloud will show up things at any time 1 Band On The Run 3 cds 1 dvd 2 McCartney 2 cds 1 dvd 3 McCartney II 3 cds 1 dvd 4 Ram 3 cds 1 dvd 5 Venus & Mars 2 cds 1 dvd 6 Speed Of Sound 2 cds 1 dvd 7 Wings Over America 2 cds 2 dvds 8 Linda McCartney Wide Prairie 2 cds 2 dvds 9 Wild Life 2 cds 2 dvds 10 Red Rose Speedway 2 cds 2 dvds 11 London Town 2 cds 1 dvd 12 Back to the egg 2 cds 1 dvd 13 Wings Live 1979 2 cds 1 dvd 14 Tug Of War 2 cds 1 dvd 15 Pipes Of Peace 2 cds 1 dvd 16 Give my regards 3 cds 2 dvd 17 Press To Play 4 cds 1 dvd 18 Choba B CCCP + Prince Trust 2 cds 1 dvd 19 McGear / Holly Days / Whippets / Country Hams and Surprises 4 cds 20 Flowers In The Dirt 3 cds 1 dvd 21 Tripping The Live Fantastic 3 cds 2 dvds 22 Unplugged 2 cds 1 dvd 23 Off The Ground 3 cds 2 dvds 24 Paul Is Live 2 cds 2 dvds 25 The Fireman Vol1 & 2 ( Strawberry + Rusches ) 3 cds 1 dvd 26 Oobu Joobu , liverpool collage, Daumier's Law and crazy stuff 3 cds 1 dvd 27 Flaming Pie 2 cds 2 dvds 28 Run Devil Run 2 cds 1 dvd 29 Driving Rain 2 cds 1 dvd 30 Back In The US / World 3 cds 1 dvd 31 Chaos & Creation in The Back Yard 2 cds 2 dvds 32 Memory Almost Full 2 cds 1 dvd 33 Electric Arguments 3 cds 1 dvd ( reissue ) 34 Liverpool Oratorio 3 cds 2 dvds 35 Standing Stone 3 cds 2 dvds 36 Working Classical / A Leaf 2 cds 1 dvd 37 Ecce Cor Meum 2 cds 1 dvd 38 The Studio Outtakes 1970 / 1989 4 cds 39 The Studio Outtakes 1990 / 2014 4 cds 40 The Rude Studio Recordings 1970 / 1997 4 cds 41 The Demos 1960 1979 4 cds 42 The Demos 1980 2016 4 cds 43 The rare live recordings, soundchecks and rehearsals 4 cds Some Linda's books with great unpublished pictures and contacts , with the same presentation than the deluxe sets will be added at anytime 44 The Beatles years 1965 / 1968 45 the Beatles Years 1969 46 The Beatles years 1970 to now , with great pics of Paul and John and the Threetles session 47 Grateful Dead and Linda's Beatles DVD deluxe set 48 The Wings Years 49 The Eighties 50 the Nineties You won't be dissapointed but this vast and ambitious program, and the 2 new sets in June will be a pleasure for real fans as us" Alright so now you've read it. Because of Etcetera previous posts I'm not believing this post to much. But if this was true, let's talk about what would fill each disc.
2016!! I'm sorry they cant take another 5 years for god sake. And was anyone else surprised that PTP has 4 discs ??
-
If accurate, then thats a mouthwatering release schedule. However, even over a period of six plus years, i'm never going to be able to justify the cost of purchasing 113 cds and 48 dvds by one artist And when would i ever find the time to play them?

I know, really stupid isn't it.
-
ill just be purchasing (Besides BOTR, Macca, Macca II) RAM, V&M, Wild Life, Red Rose, Wings Over America, MAYBE Wings Live 1979, Flaming Pie, Electric Arguments, and Back In The U.S. LIVE. those ones i will purchase at release....but some others ill have to get later on in time. paul is really dipping into my wallet on this collection..

It sure is an exciting list, but it's too early to jump for joy. Many of these things could fall by the wayside between now and 2016. It's very encouraging to see how ambitious this project is, even if everything doesn't pan out. I think releasing some of this material in extremely limited numbers through the website makes a lot of sense. A lot of this stuff would only appeal to the most dedicated fans (I'm one of them).
-
If this list/schedule is true, then the WOA release with 2 DVDs is especially enticing, given that I'm willing to bet that includes Rockshow...And the placement in sequence of releases would lead me to believe that's a Christmass of 2011 release (fingers crossed)
-
There is anyone who knows how the next online Mccartney archive will work? He will put on the net outtakes and demo?
-
If this schedule is true, and run till 2016. I think the studio albums would all be out by mid-2014 to beginning of 2015, and use the outtakes for the last 1 or 2 years so that means we would have to get about 5 a year.
-
I wanna get excited about this, i really do, but....what is the source for that formation? If its true i cant wait for Driving Rain and Back in the US!
-
do you guys all think that the releases will come a little faster than once every 7 months? i mean november to june.... thats VERY long. i think maybe he will start bringing them out a little faster since there are so many releases that he has. I expect to see RAM and V&M by around September/October. and MAYBE if were lucky WOA and WATSOS around christmas time. i think that will make a lot of product for him around the holiday season. if not that fast then maybe he will start releasing 3 or 4 albums at once.

I think it depends on the popularity of each particular album. He's starting with the classic 70's material which probably has more sales potential than the more recent stuff. They gave Band On The Run plenty of time before moving on because it's probably his best known album. There's no question that they'll pick up the pace as soon as we get to his less remembered 80's albums IMO. The current rumour is that Ram and Venus And Mars will be out before Christmas. If that turns out to be true, they're already picking up speed.

when i first read all of this i literally fainted. a couple of things.. 1.) THEY ARE COMING OUT UNTIL 2016!?? NONE OF US HAVE THAT PATIENCE PAUL!!
The compact disc doesn't have that long.
-
I think he better issue some specially priced Best Buy type issues or I won't be able to afford them. I wish that with each reissue, songs that don't get heard much would get radio airplay. That's what I wish.
-
I am hoping that once the next 2 are released the BOTR will go down in price. My plan with the deluxe editions is to buy them later as they go down in price. Of course there are special cases that I will get right away (Ram, WOA, V&M, Tug of War)

You know the deluxe BAND ON THE RUN is a numbered, limited edition, don't you...?

Being limited though, the price is likely to go in the opposite direction; it's currently fetching over $200 on ebay.

I don't know the exact number, but once those copies are gone, you'll be at the mercy of collectors who bought multiple copies to sell on ebay at greatly inflated prices. Just saying if you really want one it's better to pay retail price now than a more extravagant price later on.
