The remasters - news, info & reviews

[quad73]

According to a member on another forum:


Some infos about the enormous project, with 50 + deluxe sets :

. "First, each deluxe set will have a great amount of bonus stuff, mainly already bootleged stuff but in excellent condition for the reissue ( only 2 or 3 unknown gems per sets ), the unknown stuff will be reserved for the wonderful box sets which will finished the reissue program. The quantitity of bonuses will be linked to the " non " success of the disc at the time : in other words , press to play and driving rain will be full of bonuses. All the b sides and remixes will be included, even it will contain 7 mixes of the same track

. The reissues will be spread from 2010 to 2016. Run devil, chaos and driving will be first reissued simply( just to fill the space in records shops ) but will have a deluxe treatement in 2014

. All the titles not yet published but revealed will appear on the cloud or on the last great sets; " Cavendish Parade " has been copyrighted with a different title, because of the refrence of the actual McCartney Home in London



. Some deluxe sets will be made in very low quantity and sell only on the mccartney site, and will become very high collectable items. At this stage, the mcgear holly set has some legal problems to be accepted because of the mixing of mike and Paul vocal tracks for the same songs ;



Here is the deluxe schedule with hopes, including dvd archives and linda's archives. At the same time, the cloud will show up things at any time

I'll believe all this when I see it!

I have a technical problem. I'm from Europe. The new deluxe editions (McCartney I, McCartney II.) are very expensive here. I'd like to buy them from the USA. But I don't know what will be the region code of the bonus DVDs. Amazon wasn't able to answer my question concerning this. In case of previous issues -for example the Band on the run remaster-, what is the practice? Can someone help me?

[jgkojak]

That sucks -

If the music industry is worried about why they are losing $$$ perhaps all this region bullshit is part of it.

The U.S. 2010 BOTR does not have a region number listed on the DVD or any part of the package. I checked it carefully and can only assume it is region free.

That´s good news! I just bought both albums in deluxe editions from Amazon.
So much cheaper than in europe.

Same as the European BOTR. Thanks for your help.

help ! am i reading this stuff wrong ?

IF one deigns to save some ching and buys the 2 disc 'mac 2', one does not get the complete original album (the lost 2lp vinyl album of which i do have) but, rather a truncated, revamped, incomplete version .

one must buy the 4 disc, $50-60 version in order to get the original takes in what appears to be their original form, as they appear on the lost mccartney2...right ?!?

say it ain't so, paulie

Yeah, the long versions are only on CD 3

I think the songs with quicker speed variations are being left off of the Mac II re-issue. If I remember correctly, On The Way & Temporary Secretary appeared on the original 2 LP at a quicker tempo which shortened the durations. They were slowed down for the official release. Someone please correct me because I probably don't have all the facts right.
