I have a question: if an orange LP has only 3,000 copies and the (UK store) is sold out.
Could someone explain to me why on the (USA store) the same colour (orange) is still to pre order?
Maybe because there were so many other colors for sale in the US that people have already bought.

Another positive review for McCartney 3 from TMR (The Morton Report) written by Chaz Lipp just 2 days ago. I're read this critic before and he has always seemed objective and fair relative to Macca.
This was the secomd critic I read that called "Deep Deep Feeling" the best tune on McCartney 3. Despite it's long length, this reviewer apparently really liked all the changes throughout this track. Chaz Lipp also called McCartney 3 the least experimental between McCartney, McCartney 2 and McCartney 3 and liked it more to Chaos and Creation without any "string" overdubs. He called McCartney 3 a collecltion of well polished songs as opposed to previous songs like Kreen Akrore (final track on McCartney) or Front Parlour or Frozen Jap) on McCartney 2.
As far as other songs, Chaz Lipp liked :
"Find My Way"- A song with Paul see-sawing between his typicall optimisim and "self doubt" a la "I Don't Know" (Egypt Station) or "At the Mercy" (Chaos and Creation).
"Lavatory Lil" the 2nd reviewer that liked this one as a bouncy irresistable type of tune
"Slidin" - likws this one and compared it to late "70's Wings era rock"
"Deep Down" while Chaz pointed out that this track is totally different in feel to the similar titled "Deep Deep Feeling" this one might have benefitted from some ediiting and might fall under the "love it ot hate it" category
"Kiss o Venus" described by Chaz as a instant classic, a poignant folky slice of Mccartney
"Seize the Day" Chaz compared this one lyrically to Do It Now (from Egypt Station) or This One (from Flowers in the Dirt)
"Long Tail Winter Bird" and "When Winter Comes" - he liked both the opener and closing tracks on McCartney 3 and felt that Paul sounded more youthful. As maybe mentioned before, "When Winter Comes" was originally done in 1992 around the beginning of the Flaming Pie Sessions and Paul was actually considering it as a bonus track on the recent Flaming Pie Archive Collection but he decided to hold it for another album. He says that the opening and closing tracks also have thematic ties to "Seize the Day".
All in all, Chazz Lipp really likes McCartney 3 and thinks that ultimately the best producer for Paul McCartney may just be Paul McCartney himelf a sentiment espressed by Kestrel multiple times right here on Maccaboard.

BJ and Yankeefan, I met Ken Womack at the Aug. 2019 Fest For Beatles Fans in Chicago and spoke with him briefly after one of his talks (Lady Leslie was there too) He was only 4 years old when the Beatles broke up and I definitely wouldn't classify him as a "fanboy" but I'm sure he's a fan of their music.
You can see here he's written about 10 books about them, and a couple about George Martin.
Thanks for the information Nancy. The first two reviews I read here were very good but Mr. Womack's review was a full out "rave". I am always a bit skeptical when I read a glowing review or one that completey trashes the album. That is why I was wondering about his background and if he had history of overtly praising McCartney albums. Others may disagree with me but I trust the writers of Rolling Stone, they have been very fair with McCartney the last 25 years IMO. I mentioned to BJ in a post I will be interested in the guys from "Take It Away" podcast opinion of "McCartney III". I have grown to really love and respect their opinions of his solo work.

How shocking that Ryan Brady, one of the cohosts on "Take It Away"died on Thanksgiving evening in a solo car accident in LA. As Bruce has said, what a terrible year 2020 has been.

Really enjoyed reading your assessment on the album and looking forward to receiving it!
While I've enjoyed the different producers influence over the years, I also like the idea of Paul producing some of his songs. Are there songs in which he worked with a producer and also recorded a version he produced, Im wondering?

I can't think of any examples in that particular order but switching it around to songs that Paul produced alone which were then subsequently recorded with another producer,there are many examples. That's if you accept Paul as being the producer of his demos of course.

OMG - that is so sad to hear. He was only 34 years old.

Another new promotional interview to coincide with the new album. Some quite direct questions with some unusally direct answers from Paul.
I never knew Paul had a Spanish penpal as a child. Even Mark Lewisohn didn't find that out.

I put the following below in another post and thought you would appreciate it because you responded to my drinking game idea -lol. This was from the interview you have provided a like for us to read.
"For those posters that remember my "McCartney drinking game" joke posts awhile ago, see below -lol.
"You know, I was conscious of not mentioning the Beatles early in this interview, and you’ve already mentioned them a few times. So let me ask you: The band broke up 50 years ago. You were in it for roughly 10 years. When you’re not doing interviews or playing concerts, how central to your own story of your life are those 10 years from half a century ago?"

On Steve Hoffman Forums Paul McCartney section "McCartney lll" thread it is almost 600 pages, and the album hasn't even come out yet ! And I think other threads there are devoted to the new album too ! It can be fun and informative to delve into those there.

Obviously the Beatles were a huge deal in Paul's life, though. We can't expect them not to be.

Of course they were but it is 50 years since they broke up. He even says in interviews that some people roll their eyes at him when he tells the same old stories. There is a "fine line" (pun intended -lol) between mentioning them once in awhile and having them brought up in almost every response to a musical question.

Well, they are central to his career. You can't be in the biggest, most influential...and greatest....band of all time and not expect them to be brought up......by anyone. It's a given.

100% agree! I get that folks have their opinions and that is fine, but Paul was a Beatle, it's his right to discuss what he wants about that.

Well, Thanks to someone who posted about the 4 CD's in different colors and about how merchandise was running out. I bought a hat and a bag of dice. The T-Shirt I wanted was sold out. and then bought the 3 other $7+ CD's. There wasn't a good enough description on the $14+ CD to warrant buying it. In the online photo it looked just like the $7+ CD and didn't have a colored stripe, so was wondering why it was twice the price!?

I did not say never bring up the Beatles but 50 years later I think you don't need to fixate on them in every interview you have with with the media. Did you read the quote of the interviewer, he did not want to being up The Beatles but since that is all McCartney would mention, he kind of gave up.

I never said he could not bring them up, I just think it is sad in a way that the Beatles still dominate any interview with him after 50 years.
