What's wrong with his left eye? It looks like it always has to me. His eyes have never been quite proportional, with the left being a little more droopy. It's how you can always tell when a Beatles photograph has been flipped.

Kedame, take a look at the Jan 31 post. His right eye is looking straight ahead while his left eye looks left. That got me paying attention. You're probably right - one side always being a little different; maybe I'm just noticing it more now.

Hate to be a dissenting voice .... but here we go.

Not quite rock bottom, but not strong either. “My Valentine” is a stand-out that I predict will shortly be covered by Michael Bublé (the middle eight is hyper schmaltzy, but the rest of the song makes up for it). “Only Our Hearts” is weak, but the harmonica work by Stevie Wonder is phenomenal. I’m sure there’s a way of cutting out the song and leaving the instrumental break.

As for the rest of the record, there’s a reason why we don’t hear those songs anymore: by today’s ...

Don't forget there are a couple of bonus tracks from the album that you can purchase on iTunes or download on youtube that are not available on the album:

Baby's Request (2012 Version)

My One And Only Love

There is a bit of anger online from those who had gotten the voucher for the free recordings but found they only got the 4 tracks. Supposedly the wording wasnt very concise and open to interpretation.

I wonder if those who do have the free tracks will still have to pay the full $6.99 price, which seems a bit of a rip off for 5 tracks. Plus will many fans want to spend money on an incomplete performance which is freely available and complete on the net already.

Itunes are going to release the concert Paul did in Capitol Towers a few days ago, however its scheduled to only have 9 out of the 13 songs included (tho that may change as the contents are subject to change - as is any album prerelease). Why not release the whole show, whats the point of putting it out incomplete?

The irritating thing about this is that the deluxe edition of the album was supposed to contain a digital download of the performance. It only gave us four recordings (no video)! It would have been nice to get ...

KOTB has entered the UK album charts at number 3 making it Pauls most successful album placement since 1997 when Flaming Pie made it to #2, surpassing Memory Almost Full which reached #5 in 2007.

Fantastic. The album deserves success and a high placing. Go Paul.

I thought the live concert, well the songs up to My Valentine, were excellent live (it was 1/2 3 in the morning, the music is so relaxing and so i was falling asleep). Paul was enjoying himself but came across as a little nervous at times to me, probably being so used to performing rock and roll and being able to move around on stage.

His backing band were incredible, loved Diana Krall's piano playing.

If you werent able to catch it its on itunes for a little while longer.

So I've listened to it about 5 times or more already, and I have to say I love it. I love his voice on it. People who have said his voice has aged say that like it's a bad thing. It has aged, but it's still quite nice.

My favorites are I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, It's Only a Paper Moon, More I Cannot Wish You, The Glory of Love, My Valentine, My Very Good Friend the Milkman, and The Inchworm.

Can't wait for the iTunes concert!
