They haven't been giving out news of any kind.

I only know that when everything has been re-mastered, then the original releases will be deemed best which will propel charity shops to 'Woolworth-like' status.

Speed Of Sound is absolutely the best Wings album. Cook Of The House is FANTASTIC, I never tire of hearing this track, Linda does a brilliant job. One of the best selling albums of 1976 too! This is the album I would most like to see in deluxe form.
Whatever drugs you're on, can I get some? It must be some really good sh**.
Haha no drugs, just love SOS, it's the best musically and production wise, a real Wings album for Wings fans. Just the greatestt. Everyone I've converted to Wings thinks it's their best album.
It is pretty strange how varied reactions can be to different albums. On the subject of SOS, it wasn't an album I rated but I had a girlfriend who was, like me, a keen photographer and she was luckier in that she had a darkroom at home. She had a little, simple tape player in there so she could put something on without difficulty and only a few tapes because, she said, she liked to be in the same frame every time working in there. I understood that and thought 'Good idea' but having heard her diss The Beatles a few times, I was amazed that one of the tapes was SOS which she, and it turned out, her sisters all loved! That was a long time ago and I haven't heard it since but there certainly was a proper 'atmosphere' in that album that I can understand people hook up to. It's something like a movie.

I was reading somewhere today that the Deluxe Collections have been cancelled.

aaawww? but seriously. how much "lost" or "new material" could they possibly have? i wouldn't be surprised if their isn't that any left.

I still want my copy of Venus and Mars and Back to the Egg and Flowers in the Dirt. I only had all of them on cassettes and I want a remastered CD.

Well that's not exactly helpful. What is your source? WHERE did you read this? Provide a link? Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they had cancelled the deluxe editions. They're very expensive to produce and many of Paul's fans did little but complain about their cost and what was included in them. If the sales figures of the deluxe editions didn't show a profit, there's no point in continuing, especially since 2014 seems to be the ground zero year for the complete collapse of CD sales. It's too bad he didn't get to Venus and Wars, Wild Life, and Red Rose Speedway, but I'm not sure the other Wings albums merit a deluxe edition anyway, and all his recent great solo work is available. So if the deluxe sets are costing more to produce than they are generating in revenue, there's no point in continuing in this music market. That said, I do wish he'd invest money in his reissues rather than in that silly robot. I'd rather see the reissues than the robot. Obviously I'm stating an opinion on something that has no basis in fact yet. So it would be nice to have a source for this rumor you've "read somewhere."

The deluxe editions deserve all the criticism they get regarding musical content. They should try harder if they want me to buy the same music again and stop being cheap with the bonus materials.

I wonder if delay is due to HARD DAY'S NIGHT coming out same week??

Well not everyone agrees with you. Namely me.
I don't need to hear every demo or every half-formed version of a Paul song. I hardly ever listen to the Beatles anthologies. Hearing them once or twice was enough. I feel the same way about the Archive Collection. I hardly ever listen to any of the bonus tracks, even on McCartney II which had more than the usual bonus tracks. I'd rather, if Paul is going to offer more music on these CDs, that he remix them, or strip them down, or tinker with the production to give us something new. Or carefully curate a new CD of Paul's lesser known 80s or 90s music that presents him in a new way. But I personally don't need to hear 8 different versions of Listen to What the Man Said (or whatever). The one thing I'd like more of in the deluxe sets is video. But the best thing about the deluxe sets was the books, not just the art books, but the story of Paul's career told in photographs and interviews. The books are why I bought them. Otherwise I would have been satisfied with the standard editions.

Well, I suppose that happens because you're a woman. Men are usually more obssesive about having it all - namely outtakes, demos, rehearsals, etc.

No...some women want it all too, my friend.

There's still a lot of material that hasn't been released as a deluxe/remaster (Just Wings alone, there's still Wild Life, Red Rose Speedway, Venus and Mars, Speed of Sound, London Town, Back To The Egg), I wish we'd hear something or have a sign that it's going to continue, or if it's going forward. Of course I'd love to have the entire Wings catalog remastered in their deluxe sets, but I'd hate to see them release a couple of more and then call it quits while leaving the last handful hanging. The idea of an incomplete set doesn't appeal to me. After Wings Over America, the album I most wanted to see/hear remastered and given its spotlight back was "Venus and Mars". I had been counting down to this summer since I saw the teaser in the WOA Deluxe set! Then again, I also had hoped for "Give My Regards To Broad Street" on remastered Blu-Ray with a soundtrack, but that's much more of a wishlist than a likelihood. Then again, a couple of years back, I never thought Rockshow would get the treatment it did...so who knows?

Cant believe Red Rose Speedway doesnt have a deluxe edition. It was intended as a double album for goodness sakes!! So many gems from those sessions. A travesty.

Maybe if the rumor is true of no more deluxe editions, that could simply refer to the very pricy editions with the books. They could still do remastered CDs with bonus CDs/DVDs without the whole book packaging. So I think you could still see Red Rose Speedway (and all the other albums) with all the extra songs...hopefully that's not just wishful thinking.
