2017 - Flowrers in the dirt

2018 - RRS and Wild life

2020 - Flaming pie.

I have got 7 out of the 13 on the new 2CD issue, which is the most affordable standard for new material. 
I'm wondering if you had a choice of a 'super deluxe' issue, then which one would you choose? I want answers based on new material rather than quality, as I have all vinyl and original CD releases. I want to start saving for the super deluxe editions and want to know what I'm missing out on??

Phew! I didn’t really know how to phrase this post.

I used to be able to go Woolworths or another record shop and purchase Paul’s latest. I’d then go home and carefully place it on the record player and listen while looking at the sleeve and artwork. Great stuff. Side B’s were really a treasure as they used to be unavailable elsewhere. I remember walking into town on the dark, on a mission to buy 7” ‘Once upon a long ago’ and waiting until the last possible moment so my purchase would be registered on the Christmas chart.

anyway, blah blah blah... You all know this. But I went into HMV last year to ask for ‘Come On To Me’ as a CD single but was told is was not available in this format.

A 7” single used to be a precious source for new material, so it was an essential purchase.

Is there a list of physical 7” releases? And also CD singles? When was the first and last cassingle? When was the first download only song? Etc etc.

Finally got my ticket today. This is by far been the trickiest Paul McCartney ticket I have ever obtained.

Just by luck I logged into the echo arena website on my dinner break from work -  like I have done about a hundred times - but on this occasion tickets were available!

It took me 3 attempts to purchase them as they disappeared or whatever from my trolley, but I eventually secured block C.

Still need to pick them up from box-office. Anyone know the horrors that might await me there lol? Or how long to expect to wait?

Thanks

John said it best - something like -

‘it’s like the boys in a rugby team, you have to get married and leave the team”

I don’t think a single moment can be defined as having split the Beatles, they were teenagers when formed, how many of your primary school friends do you still see? Just the natural thing called life, growing up or whatever made them spilt.

I won’t go into detail as I’m not a reviewer and after all we all have (slightly lol) different views. I just wanted to post that the album will be what you need.

You won’t be disappointed. It’s not as easy as ‘New’ but it has more layers.

This is the first Macca music I’m listening to since my Beatle friend passed away. It’s weird listening to Paul’s music knowing he will never hear it. This man was much older than me and knew Paul in his school days, we used to go and see Macca together. Even though he was 30 years older than me, he was one of my best friends because we loved everything about this phenomenon of this music. I so miss him.

I’m a believer that music is the foundation of memories, what is my favourite track might not be yours, but we are Paul McCartney fans and I strongly believe we will all love this album. This album is forming memories of my friend, that’s how it will be embedded in me.

This is really to ADMIN.

I wanted to add a comment on the ‘Fuh You’ song and found there was no thread for it. But, if you look on the EGYPT STATION thread then everyone is using that for their comments.

So we have 1 thread that is covering all of the incoming album and everything it has so far thrown at us - artwork, fuh and songs themselves.

It’s not every year we get a Macca album, is there anyway we can split posts into more threads? I wouldn’t mind a thread for every song, a thread for artwork, thread for lyrics etc etc

Sorry to moan, it’s just that there’s nearly 300 posts on Egypt station at the moment and I feel I cant post anything as it might have already been said.

im sorry, I can’t take anymore. What am I doing wrong? My brother said to post my pain on here. I might see trouble after this...

A great tour. I was 18 and saw him on successive nights at Earl’s Court in London. I got a coach from Liverpool and after going all around the world ended up in London about 6 hours later. After the concert I got the coach home to Liverpool.

Slept rough at the train station as everything was closed, got the first train home when they started up,  got showered then got the short train back to Liverpool where I got that coach again and another dreaded 6 hour drive to London. People on the coach thought I was mad doing it on successive days.

Requests? I’m after 2 tickets to Liverpool 12th December. Just like lots of others I missed out on all the pre-sales and general sales.

Thanks
