THE NEXT DELUXE/REMASTERED ALBUM FROM PAUL
-
Here we go again. IMO, London Town, Cafe On The Left Bank, With A Little Luck, Don't Let It Bring You Down, Girl's School, Mull Of Kintrye (added in 1993 to LT), Getting Closer, We're Open Tonight, Arrow Through Me, Old Siam Sir, and So Glad To See You Here, easily match anything on Flaming Pie. Easily. Really like Flaming Pie, especially The Song We Were Singing, The World Tonight, and Souvenir, just not as much as London Town and BTTE.

Okay, I sort of like Flaming Pie, but not a huge fan. Patiently waiting for London Town and Back To The Egg. You know, amazing Wings albums.
Yikes. There's not a track on London Town or BTTE that's remotely in a league with Somedays, Young Boy, Calico Skies or Little Willow.
The World Tonight, Beautiful Night, Heaven on a Sunday, Souvenir and Great Day aren't too shabby either. Can't wait to pick up the 2 Disc Set at Target. I know people are complaining about the prices for the variuos Sets, but for around $15, the 2 Disc Set is an absolute "steal".

Its certainly value for money. Although I like a lot of the songs on Flaming Pie, I've never been overkeen on the smooth MOR production. I'm hoping that the home demo recordings on the 2nd disc will have a rougher, more organic feel to them.

Wingsoverkc, I'm looking forward to London Town and BTTE Archive treatments as well. Who knows but if the FP Archive sells well, we might get LT and BTTE Remasters next Summer. If Paul's not touring in 2021 you would think they would want to step up the production. The LT and BTTE sessions will have even more extra songs.

$600 for the collector's edition is just too much, like the Egypt Station suitcase. I'll wait for the price of the deluxe edition to drop a little.
Honestly $260 US Amazon is crazy expensive for the regular deluxe edition compared to past deluxe editions, and probably about double that of the most expensive ones to date. While I'm sure it is full of beautiful things, I mostly want the music and video, and $260 is an obscene amount of money for 5 CDs and 2 DVDs. As nice as these things are, I wish they would go back to more how they were earlier in the series. Not necessarily for audio/video content, as I think that is getting more generous, but just less trinkets and reproductions of everything, if that is what it takes to keep the price more reasonable.
Fortunately I'm at a point in my life where I will be able to still get the standard deluxe, but I can only imagine in my younger years being able to justify spending this much money on something like this.
Anyone else wondering how expensive a potentially packaged Wings 1977-79 box, with London Town, Back To The Egg, and maybe a new live 79 collection, similar to the Wings 1971-73 box might be?

It's $221 USD ($300 CND) at MusicVaultz (no tax, free shipping)

I have bought all the deluxe editions in the past, and have enjoyed the cd's, dvd's and books a lot.
The Flaming Pie album is one of my favourite Mccartney albums, and I was looking forward to the deluxe edition.
Unfortunately due to the ridiculous price, I will not be buying this edition for the Euro 215,00 to Euro 250,00 for which it is now on sale.
The value for money with the last two editions (Wild Life and Redrose Speedway) was much higher.

I'm very curuious about Disc 4 of the new Deluxe Archive Flaming Pie release and specifically the Oobu Joobu parts. Here are just some of my questions:
It appears that Disc 4 will include Parts 1 through 6 of the Radio Oobu Joobu Series. Are these the complete radio shows? Looking very briefly at the tracklisting, they appear to be more in line with the "Off the Ground" and "Unplugged" album periods than Flaming Pie.
Looking at the Oobu Joobu tracklists for Parts 1-6, there a lot of covers done by Paul but I'm particularly interested in the Paul penned tracks. When I was putting together an idea for a future Paul Anthology/Compilation CD Set by Decade (that would be a real improvement over his last Compilation...Pure McCartney!), I was mainly concentrating on deep cuts and unreleased Paul songs. Two of the potential songs on my 90's Disc (or even an 80's Disc) was "i Love This House" and "Love Mix" that are on Parts 4 and 6 of Oobu Joobu respectively. Are both songs going to be on Disc 4 of the New Deluxe Archive Flaming Pie release and are they complete songs?

These will be the same versions that appeared as 'bonus tracks' on the cd singles taken from Flaming Pie. All six parts lasted approximately 10 minutes, some parts slightly over, some slightly under. But with CD4 having a potential playing time of 79 minutes, getting those 5 other songs on the remaining 19 minutes is going to be a tight squeeze.

Now that is the cutest ever Koala picture of Paul someone should sell that...or you can buy the book! Is it Paul saying he will sign the books. Anyway I'm going to have to get that! Looks really great and cute cover suitable for framing!

No, the author, Paul Sinclair, is signing them, not Paul McCartney.

Another place to check out is Import cds. They have a good price on the deluxe.

Just seen that the Flaming Pie deluxe is €30 in the Netherlands! Sadly can't get it shipped to the UK but act quick if you live in the Netherlands

I had tried earlier but as you say,it doesn't ship to the UK. Because its a pre-order I suspect the seller will try every trick in the book over the next six weeks to get out of the mess they've created for themselves.

Where DOES it ship to? Only EU countries?

I don't know to be honest as I haven't used Amazon for years, not since they did away with their free postage on everything policy. But as a lot of countries have their own Amazon sites it might be that they actively discourage sales from other countries where the same product is available on their own websites.
