Put it there, if it weighs a ton...
Those lines were all I could think of when my copy arrived from Amazon. Combined, these two books are heavy. Reading portions randomly. Excellent especially the write up on Het Majesty.

Visited there four years ago but the weather was cold, rainy, wind blowing so this video actually shows me more than we saw. Thanks.
Keep getting the code on my phone but still no luck. Tried on phone, desktop, and iPad. Think I will wait until November 5, which also happens to be Guy Fawkes Day
Validation error continues! Perhaps I will get off this desktop and shift to the ipad before givinhg up. At least the ipad is from the comfort of a recliner. Glad my purchasees of Macca tickets concert tickets online always went flawlessly.
Made it to Buy Now and then it comes up validation era. Will try again this morning, hoping that the second day is sales will result in less demand on their system.
whatever happens, I have had my book order in since the first of the year and am looking forward to it.
No luck getting a ticket for the streaming event. Something about validation error keeps coming up, both this morning and a few minutes ago here in the eastern time zone, U.S. Anyone else having this problem?
Don 't know about the rest of you but I am pleased by the number of non- Beatles songs that comprise these two volumes, things I never would have expected like Cafe on the Left Bank, deep album tracks. Bring it on!

Whole WILD Life
Does Paul have a song called Whole Wild? Uh, no.
Here's one: Warm And BEAUTIFUL Night (sorry, just saw The Fool already did that one!)
And: Comfort Of LOVE Is Strange
Will work on some more when I get a chance-it's 2am here!
Nah, he doesn't but couldn't resist playing with it. Since he did Whole Life, he should also do Term Life and Universal Life to keep his insurance agent fans happy
PS Not an insurance agent
One more while watching I Love NYC and hoping you know who appears....
Another DAYtime Nightime Suffering
I hope the next is the long awaited Londontown/Egg but something tells me it will be a deluxe edition of Tripping the Live Fantastic. There are a number of live songs that came out on CD singles (Mull of Kintyre. Lennon tribute-Strawberry Fields/Help/Give Peace a Chance, P.S. Love Me Do, Let Em In, etc.) that he could bundle up on a bonus disc with a few more soundcheck numbers that are unreleased.
As for history, that tour was his first in ten years, first since Wings and heavy on Beatles songs, a trend that continues with all his live shows and tours. Plus, it broke him out of what his critics would call the malaise of the 80s as the harsh ones went after him over Broad Street and then Press to Play. Maybe out Christmas this year?
Much better than I thought it would be. Got on with free introductory month. Even though it is veryBeatles centric and therefore does repeat often told accounts, they do an excellent job breaking down song-isolating bass guitar on various tracks, great harmonies on Dear Prudence, etc.
Rick Rubin great job-- very unobtrusive, keeps his words to a minimum. Some interview Paul talk way too much, get overwhelmed like the guy on VH-1 way back in 1989 before the World tour. Biggest surprise--discussion of Check My Machine.
I thought six episodes would be six hours but actually about half hour each. So easy to binge watch. Will watch again tomorrow.
now, bring on the 2022 tour!
I am afraid the consensus here is correct--it will most likely be Beatles centric with our listening to many things we have heard before in one place rather than stretched over numerous interviews. I hope this doesn't mean that the forthcoming Lyrics book will do the same. Not sure about getting this on Hulu but I have the book on order.
$999.00 on eBay is incredibly excessive. I purchased a Freshen Up Glasgow poster on there for less than $100.00. I would keep checking eBay as new items are listed constantly. Good luck.
Ordered mine. Interesting to speculate over what will be included. Perhaps it will end up being like his live set lists--half Beatles, half solo compositions. I would think the track list for Pure McCartney is a good approximation of what the post-Beatles inclusions will be. The stories told about Yesterday, Hey Jude,etc have been told so many times that I hope it is heavily weighted to post-Beatles material but don't count on it.
Would love to be in London at whatever bookstore hosts a signing as was done for Blackbird Singing, at least I seem to remember that.

Here's the link to Paul's version of "I'm So Tired". Thanks so much for sharing, John!
Thank you, Joyce, for Thinking of Linking (pardon the pun) and providing a link.
Interesting video came up on YouTube yesterday...Paul singing a rather comedic version of "I'm So Tired" from the White album sessions. Words about drinking too much and in good fun. Different hearing him handling the vocals rather than John. Sorry, not good at links but McCartney I'm So Tired should do.

In an interview with the TV Times magazine back in the mid 80s paul claimed to have 2000 unreleased songs. In one of the new interviews about mccartney 3 paul said he wrote on average one song a week. So we can only begin to imagine how many unreleased songs there are.
Some have leaked out onto bootleg and we have heard them. Others we know the names of. Others we know exist but don't know the name of them. Then there are the majority that we know nothing about.
I agree, it has to be a considerable amount. After hearing the phone demo of The Kiss of Venus, it brings to mind a contest they should run on here....."Send in your name and win Paul's Phone!" I wish!!!

One great one worth checking out that many have probably heard is called Evonne that he wrote with Eric Stewart back in the Press to Play era. It's on YouTube just enter McCartney Evonne. Sorry not good at putting up links.
Paul never released this but think Stewart might have done a version with him providing the vocals.
I think you mean Yvonne. The full title is Yvonne's the One.
Whoops! Glad you caught the spelling mistake. I first heard that song off the Good Tines Comin bootleg that I got back in the 90s and couldn't believe something that good would remain unreleased.
