Just noticed this on Amazon: The deluxe set has dropped down in price -- but only to $141. Come on Amazon. Cut it back to $95! http://www.amazon.com/Wings-Over-America-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B00C8985DU And the 2 CD set has dropped, too, down to $15. http://www.amazon.com/Wings-Over-America-Standard-Edition/dp/B00C7NKPPS/ref=pd_sim_m_2 Right now, the deluxe set is No. 135 on the Amazon bestseller list, and the 2 CD version is at No. 66.
Yes! I second that...cut it back to $95.00
That's the only way I'll buy it. Under $100. That's what it was originally, that is what it should be now.

Ok, ok, someone clear this up for me. I read somewhere that WOA was to be released in 3 formats: The big box version, the original two disc version and the original two discs with another bonus cd and a dvd with Wings Over The World on it. Howcome I can't find the latter version available for pre-order?
You're confused. It's the Box set, standard 2 disc version and the vinyl version.
Can you tell who it is yet?

Who's on first. What's on second. (Abbott and Costello baseball comedy routine).

The deluxe set price dropped a smidge again, to $139, on Amazon. It's at No. 117 in the Amazon 100. http://www.amazon.com/Wings-Over-America-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B00C8985DU The price of 2-disc set is still at $15.

OK, here's the first review I've read of the WOA reissue and it's pretty darn glowing: http://blindedbysound.com/reviews/cd-review-paul-mccartney-and-wings---wings-over-america/ The key points are ... On the music:
As with all the releases in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, the sound is a significant improvement over the original CD. ... The new CD sounds fuller, with a cleaner presentation of the both the vocals and music, than the original. It's slightly louder, but by no means brick walled.
And on the Wings Over the World DVD:
It also includes the documentary, Wings Over The World. Originally made for TV in 1979, the documentary offers a brief history of the band with many complete live clips and rehearsal footage. The video quality is great and, equally important, presented in its original 4:3 aspect ratio. Too often these old videos, which were never intended for widescreen televisions, get repurposed as such and information from the picture gets lost in the process.
Can. Not. Wait.

Thanks for the bits. I've lost count of how many times I've played the remastered "Maybe I'm Amazed" this month. Very excited to hear the rest!

Wish there was an "in between" set we could buy (i.e.: pair the the 2-disc set with Rockshow). Seem to remember that this was done with Band on the Run re-release (I got the version with the regular CD, the bonus disc, and One Hand Clapping DVD)

You can only get Wings Over The World with the deluxe box set. Rockshow will be released on its own in June.

Yes, it should change. I ordered from amazon.ca at $134 and it was since gone down to $124. Currently my invoice is reflecting the price change

Amazon has lowered the prices back down on the DVD and Blu-Ray of Rockshow. The Blu-Ray is much higher ranked. Guess more people want Blu-Ray these days. Blu-Ray: $25 http://www.amazon.com/Rockshow-Blu-ray-Paul-McCartney/dp/B00CG0YLGG/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1368622966&sr=1-1&keywords=Rockshow+McCartney DVD: $21 http://www.amazon.com/Rockshow-Paul-McCartney/dp/B00CG0YMI8/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1368622992&sr=1-2&keywords=Rockshow+McCartney

It's funny on Amazon. Seventeen people have already reviewed it and it's not even out yet. I know we have all seen it on VHS or some other form from ages ago but this does include three more songs that the original and of course the video/audio quality is greatly enhanced. Think I will hold off on reviewing until after it is out.
