Time Magazine Special Edition for Paul's 70th!
-
I have ordered this "Time" book plus RAM on vinyl (stereo and mono) and CD (the deluxe box). It's a birthday gift to myself. By the way, my birthday is June 18, same as Paul. He should send me a birthday present!
-
It arrived, but I haven't opened it yet. Was too busy with Ram, which I had to return as box had a bent corner.
-
It's a very nice book but as usual there is too much Beatle stuff & not enough devoted to solo Paul.
Out of just over 100 pages 80 (or so) are Beatles stuff.

:True. But don't cancel...it's still a nice book for the money. It was only $11.50 here from Amazon.

Is the cover the one shown on Amazon? I read something about Time running an online vote of which cover would actually be used...everything from early Beatle Paul to the one shown for pre-ordering among the "candidates". I never put in an order but just might not buy it after all as the Ram Deluxe was costly but worth it.

Yeah, same cover as shown on Amazon. It's a hardcover book & is only 112 pages. Nice quality though. I remember the diff pics...I think we had them all posted here...somewhere. Prolly just something to get everyone interested.
Thanks for the info. Sounds good.

It was only £8 or something so will definitely let it head my way. Just a pity that it doesn't reflect his career properly. 10 years as a beatle. over 40 years as a solo artist.

I'll reserve judgment at the minute until I see it but I'm not impressed with the lack of solo/wings credit. I have no idea on the photos tbh. Maybe.

I wonder if a softbound, cheaper version of this will come out for sales in grocery store magazine racks. Last month, I saw a Time-Life hardbound book on the Titanic for the 100th anniversary of the sinking in the local bookstore and then saw the very same item being sold in softbound for a greatly reduced price at the grocery store.

The Beatles, Lennon and Harrison all had these TIME books. It was about time Paul got his. Now... what about Ringo?
-
Do you think the members on here will get something to commemorate Paul's 70th birthday?
-
nope. why should we? To be honest. I do wonder if the website for a day might have a special pic up like they do on George's site.

what? Some fandoms actually give stuff for the b-day to the paying members? Hmmmm....maybe MPL should copy that. We all could use more Paul stuff.
