unfortunately many people are buying and reselling at very high prices on ebay... very sad. When I posted here I saw some LPs for sale, but it sold out. I believe that the colored LPs was only orange in the (UDiscover) US store - maybe it was little publicized or people just looked at the UK Store where it is sold out and thanks for the number
P.S. In the US store it costs less than the UK store

See link below from "The Times" review that came out yesterday. They gave the album 4 stars but I can't read most of the review because I am not a subscriber. Maybe one of our UK friends on this board can help us and let us read the entire review.

Pretty decent review. "Deep Deep Feeling" seems to be another one of those "Like it or Hate it" song which in a way does not surprise me to to it's length. Some very nice comments about McCartney's vocals which is a nice surprise.

Darn the luck, the sometimes annoying (to me) Tay Tay Swift is dropping another new album around that time ! That must be why they pulled back Paul's, to the 18th. Hers comes out just a few days from now, I think. I read Swift had beaucoup different pressings and vinyl LP colors and gimmicks for hers. She was humble bragging about she just couldn't stop writing songs while making "Folklore." They're pouring out of her.

I was thinking that too but the cd comes out on the 18th so I think he might not hit number one But at my local record shop the guy told me he hasn't seen this many preorders for McCartney III compared to other albums in a while so hopefully that puts him in the lead

There may be a few more reviews but from what we have already read I think it is safe to say that "McCartney III" is a critical success. The critics seem to all agree on the good songs they like on the album and only two (Deep Deep Feeling, Lavatory Lil) is there some disagreement from the critics. This album has gotten some good buzz and publicity which includes cover of "Rolling Stone" and cover stories from the NY Times. Due to that, I think album will place in the top five in the charts and maybe higher depending on what else is coming out. A new Taylor Swift album being dropped may prevent McCartney from two consecutive #1 albums. Unfortunately, like most of McCartney albums this will probably not stay in the charts very long. McCartney's base is not the kind that overwhelming buys his new records. It is to bad that all those Beatle Paul/first timers that attend his concerts don't really support any of his solo music.
Album was originally scheduled to be released today, sadly we all wait another week. My belief is most of us will be happy with this album. We may quibble on some songs but I doubt anybody will trash this album. In the end, let's be thankful we got another McCartney album that we certainly did not expect. The man is so amazing , even at almost 80 he is still so creative.

I've heard the album and like it a lot. His voice is what it is at this point and that is okay. My favorites are When Winter Comes, Seize the Day, Slidin, Find My Way, and Kiss of Venus. Sone of the stuff veers into experimental Fireman territory so tastes may vary. Its raw and very much a petsonal statement. Kind of a mix between the first 2 albums. Not a major statement but a very nice side peoject. I think you will like it.

Her album dropped last night at midnight. Have just finished listening to the songs. I really enjoyed the first song and video for Willow, which was a continuing lighted thread from Folklore. It seems the album name comes from an Emily Dickenson poem or letter to her friend Sue ending in the word Evermore, according to a video about the trail of Easter Eggs she has left for her fans. The songs were quite pleasing, will have to listen again. Generally, I enjoy her songs. I haven't looked into purchasing any of hers, I've bought so many colored vinyls and merchandise, I have to save some for Christmas pressies and going to donate twice what I normally do to the Food Bank this Christmas. They certainly need donations this year!

Maybe, but more doesn't mean better. The music critic in the Washisngton Post wasn't kind in his assessment of her album. She's who she is, so she will sell, but she's become overexposed. Her time on the scene is waning....or soon will be.

I think the point Suzy was making was is she will sell plenty and this will effect where "McCartney III" is placing on the charts next week.
