THE NEXT DELUXE/REMASTERED ALBUM FROM PAUL

23. "Mama's Little Girl" (an outtake from "Red Rose Speedway" sessions.) 24. "Same Time Next Year" (an outtake from "Back To The Egg" sessions.) it would be a mistake to include these in the Flowers reissue.
Not necessarily. Those songs were released as b sides (or cd bonus tracks) during Flowers in the Dirt. It's true they were recorded earlier, but they belong. Hopefully the first stone is also included (along with the tracks from the 1993 re release).

They belong on the time frame they were recorded. Plus... there are plenty of tracks to include as bonuses on the Flowers reissue, mainly because Paul recorded an album in 1987, aborted it and the proceeded to record Flowers. Plenty of bonuses like "Return To pepperland", "Lindiana", etc there.

There were also extended remixes for party party and good sign

An entire disc of McCartney/Costello demos would be fantastic!

Ideally I agree with you. Realistically if this deluxe series is near the end then those tracks (along with Elvis Costello demos and the 1987 return to pepperland plus the other bonus tracks from the 1993 reissue) all belong on the flowers set. My feeling is that they were released as b sides on many of the singles.

Ain't life grand? You forgot the superb "PS Love Me Do".

There seems to be official confirmation from Paul himself that 'Flowers In The Dirt' is the next to be reissued and that being the reason why nothing from it was on 'Pure McCartney': I want to lodge just one complaint with Nancy Jeffries*. "Flowers in the Dirt." I could go on and on about what's wonderful about that album. And there's not a song from it (on Pure McCartney). You know why, because it's about to be reissued. It's our next big box set. We're working on that at the moment. So she would avoid that. Will it be released in its entirety? There are all those songs you wrote and recorded with Elvis Costello, many of them not officially released. That's one of the real exciting things. Those demos. We're releasing them as part of this package. I'm not sure I'm supposed to be telling you this. . . . It's great that you're a fan of "Flowers in the Dirt." Cause you've got a real nice release coming out. We showed it all to Elvis, and he was just tickled pink. * - Nancy Jeffries works at MPL in New York who came up with the first playlist for 'Pure McCartney' before McCartney got involved Source: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/paul-mccartney-archive-collection-flowers-in-the-dirt-coming-soon.465078/page-112

This is great news. Hopefully, there is a full CD just devoted to McCartney-Costello material. They were that good together.

Amen. That disc alone would probably be the coolest thing to date in the archive collection.

Excellent news!

The Flowers in the Dirt Reissue does look great with the Bonus Audio being just as good as the original album. Hopefully, it will be out for the Christmas Season and I will definitely buy it.
-
Such great news! Those demos are so cool, Flowers got me hooked on Paul when I was 9 ð??? IMO Distractions and You Want Her Too is right up there with his best work. I love My Brave Face, Rough Ride and That Day Is Done too. And I guess Ou Est Le Soleil is a guilty pleasure of mine. And This One and Figure Of Eight? Man, what an album! I agree with most critics that Don't Be Careless Love is a bad version compared to the demo. I think How Many People is okay, and there is a place in my mind that kinda enjoys the intented Cars sound on Motor of Love. I can't wait for this!!! The set so far I've been most excited about. I litterally listened the tape into pieces back in 89-90..
-
I am looking forward to this release. I think we may get some announcement either this month or next if we get a call release. Again just my take (obviously nothing official).
-
I would guess it doesn't get announced till maybe September, if the release date is November. They usually do about six weeks or so to promote these things.
-
Hopefully there will be demos included that are previously unreleased on bootlegs. This one is excelent:
-
Cool album Javi! Would love to have that!

Really looking forward to those demos in sparkling quality, I must say!

Most of these tracks are freely available on the Internet (at the moment) , if you know where to look! (As this is an official forum I'll refrain from blatantly advertising where they are but it doesn't take much deduction to work out where they are listed)

But you are younger than me and will probably outlive me! (how's your health?)
