Paul McCartney Archive Collection! | Page 4 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Too lazy to write out. The following has been copied and pasted from Wogblog

About the delayed RAM deluxe remaster book and CD's: word is 80% of the book is ready, but only 20% of the audio and the video discs have been finalised. Meanwhile you can visit Paul McCartney 's HP revamped cloud-based website, both the Ram videos are viewable there, “Heart Of The Country ” and “3 Legs “. But you need to find your way around there to discover them.

While on the subject of Paul McCartney , his next studio album will be entitled “My Valentine ” and is expected to be released on Feb 6th 2012. It will be an album of old standards, along with his own compositions in the same style. “You Gave Me The Answer”, “When I'm Sixty-four” and “Honey Pie ” comes to mind. “My Valentine ” is also the title of the composition he serenaded his wife with at their wedding recetion.

Yoko's too busy remastering Johns since technology has advanced massively since 2010 and Imagine is going to be 41 this year so a really big anniversary.

I would agree about Ringo's, wiki has the last remaster of Sentimental Journey as 1995 and Ringo as 1991 so its about time.

The only remasters i have looked forward to are the beatles (unsurprisingly) and Georges Dark Horse reissues as i hadnt heard some of the albums.

Pauls is being stretched over 5 years so any enthusiasm dies when you realise you have a 3 year wait till an album you want to hear. And whatever happened to Ram and Venus And Mars being released in late 2011?

Yoko tends to rerelease the same stuff – and i'll stop there on that one. A reissued complete cd and dvd set of Live In New York City would be noteworthy as it was Johns first and last full concert, instead we have to make do with a crappy sounding 1986 disc and the few that are on the Anthology set.

I'm quite interested in hearing Ringo's Sentimental Journey but have never gotten around to getting it and would like to hear Rotogravure again as that is my favourite of his but i cant find it to download.

Its been confirmed that Wing Over America & Rock Show will be the next release in the ‘never to be completed before we’re all dead’ remastered archive collection. This will make it 5 albums in around 2 1/2 years so far out of the 40 odd that are rumoured to be coming.

There are rumoured to be 42 releases in total, so far we have had 4 (averaging 2 a year) leaving 38. If it does remain 2 a year thats 19 years! Even if its doubled to 4 that 9 1/2 years. We’ll be getting a McCartney 50th anniversary collection before this project is completed.

The 42 includes new releases like rarities, outtakes and other odds and ends – there are rumours of 43 going around. You can see the rumoured schedule here – note that the releases have been correct according to that list so far. Not every release is desirable to everyone admittedly but it would be unlikely to have them just shoved out – especially if Paul is involved in the deluxe editions and has a say in what is released.

Its also rumoured that the beatles releases are one of the reasons for the delay in Wings Over America coming out. If true, and we are entering the 50th Anniversaries for each Beatles album and other events (first US visit, concert at Shea etc) and can expect releases for those, we are not only going to have to be very selective over what we buy but there will be further delays.

Taking all that into consideration you can see my reasons for thinking we are going to be waiting a long time for the project to be completed.

Additionally we also have George hitting 70 next year and anything relating to John. Forget getting a new house or car or anything else and keep the spare cash for the releases, its going to be very expensive.
