Question for those who have purchased the super deluxe... I just noticed on the mono (disc 4) version of A Day In The Life (original mono mix), while in the inner groove fade part, the sound on my copy ends abruptly about 10 seconds too soon (doesn't fade). I'm curious if this is a flaw of my specific disc, or if this was a larger production error. I've compared it to my version in The Beatles In Mono collection to make sure I hadn't missed it before, and it is definitely unique to this 50th Anniversary release. Can anyone comment on what they hear on their end?

RE: Sgt. Pepper re-issue
HaileyMcComet:
"Good Morning Good Morning" and "Within You Without You" are two of their most rhythmically interesting songs.
I agree. Within You Without You is one my favorite tracks on the whole album. Awesome lyrics. Personally I'd rather not rewrite history at this point. The album is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most important albums ever as it is. If they want a 50th anniversary edition with demos/outtakes and want to include Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on another disc, that is fine.

RE: THE NEXT DELUXE/REMASTERED ALBUM FROM PAUL
While I am definitely excited to get this, I can't help but be somewhat disappointed, both in the fact that we have to download 16 tracks, and that there are still missing tracks and mixes. There are a few things that are really bothering me about the whole reissue process: 1. While the books are well done, the main point of this process is the music. There is so much printed material, they are pricing some people out of getting the music. A lot of people are willing to pay this for a few releases, but it gets harder to justify for the whole catalog. I say that as Flowers will be my 10th out of 10 getting the deluxe editions, but I know others have to draw the line. 2. To me, at a bare minimum, the collections should have the remastered album and all officially released non-album tracks. This would include tracks from CD singles, 12" singles, 7" singles, DJ edits, alternative mixes, etc. I'm keeping a listing of the tracks that they have missed in the process. It's possible that some of what I'm perceiving as missed tracks will crop up later (things like I Wanna Cry from the Choba B CCCP sessions), but that is part of the difficulty of jumping all around chronologically. 3. The lack of a comprehensive plan, at least the appearance of that to the fans. We all wonder what albums are coming next and when. But even from collection to collection, there seems to be inconsistencies as to what gets included. For example, Flowers has gone heavy in the demos (which I love in this case, as the Costello ones are fantastic from what I have heard myself), but other collections haven't gone down that path at all. The content in Flowers excites me, but in my mind it could still be a little bit better. I sometimes wish we could have one of our resident fans serve in some capacity in this project.

RE: After election results, appreciate Paul's support of Hillary
Bruce M.:
Trump supporters have the same tenuous relationship with the truth as their pathologically dishonest hero.
Hold on...While I agree that this poster you were quoting was cherry-picking some rare positive economic data, to take the side that Clinton speaks the truth is absolutely insane. As I say this, you are one of my favorite posters on here. But it's undeniable that Hillary is one of the most corrupt candidates we have ever seen, certainly in the modern era. Just a few examples: - The Clinton Foundation - If there is any justice, people will be going to prison for this. We have seen clearly that countless people were given government access in exchange for their large donations. These are felonies. Many from foreign leaders, some from countries with very questionable human rights records, yet their donations got them meetings with our secretary of state and future presidential candidate. Investigation is still going. - Benghazi - This should alone have eliminated her from any candidacy. - Email scandals - People may tire of hearing about this, but this is, at best, incredibly reckless that our secretary of state would not be using secure channels to communicate classified information. At worst, this borders on treason. We now know that there is a 99% chance that our biggest adversaries were able to obtain our secrets because of her carelessness. We could go on and on, but this is incredible. Then you factor in that most of the media was totally in the bag for her, not just in the general election but in the primary as well. We now know that she was even fed debate questions beforehand. This is crazy stuff.

And thanks to the 60 million American citizens who saved us from Hillary Clinton.
Amen to this - easily the most corrupt candidate either party has ever nominated.

RE: The Beatles mentioned in other Artist's Songs
American Pie is full of musical references, and the Beatles are certainly included. The verse about the halftime air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune. Also, Rick Nelson's "Garden Party" references that Yoko brought a Walrus.

A couple more: Mott The Hoople's "All The Young Dudes" mentions the Beatles and the Stones Joe Jackson's "Beat Crazy" mentions Beatlefreaks

The Monkees - "Randy Scouse Git" "The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor". I believe the song is about a party the Beatles threw for the Monkees.

RE: THE NEXT DELUXE/REMASTERED ALBUM FROM PAUL

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.

RE: Press to Play - What a Surprise!
I also love "Footprints". For me, it is the highlight of the album, with "Talk More Talk" being really annoying. As people recently have been debating all of the tracks that should not have been left off of Pure McCartney, "Footprints" is one of those tracks to me.

RE: Pure McCartney
JoeySmith:
The album getting mixed reviews on Amazon. It could have been so much better with stronger song selection. A wasted opportunity.
I don't know. I think we would all complain to a certain extent whatever the song selection was; there isn't going to be pleasing everyone with it. I guess I am just accepting that it isn't really geared toward the hard core fans (most of us on this site), but more to a casual fan, and I think it serves as a pretty solid introduction to his post-Beatles catalog.

RE: Pure McCartney
Just got mine. I was one who was less than excited because I already own it all, but for the more casual fan, this will be a very nice compilation. The packaging is nice, and 4 CDs in the package for about $30 is pretty nice.

RE: Nineteen hundred and eighty five limited edition remix

Would someone please upload this remix to youtube so we can have a listen
It's up on iTunes, at least in the USA.

RE: Pure McCartney
Does anyone know if the tracks that haven't yet been released in the Archive Series collections have new remasters? I will still buy it, being the completest that I am, but I'm curious what it really offers that I don't have. So far the only thing that comes to mind is a CD release for Hope For The Future, instead of just a download. Maybe getting the rest of the tracks remastered would get me a little more excited, although I definitely want the whole catalog updated (and all the odds and ends tidied up as bonus tracks). I really wish we could get some news on the Flowers deluxe edition.
