    There is now a Japanese Special Edition CD with 4 bonus tracks. I bet the 4 bonus tracks are the “secret demo” recordings. Front cover has a red die. Early purchases of this CD come with a McCartney III Calendar!

    The suitcase edition of the ‘Egypt Station’ was the last straw for me, I passed!! The wise move would be to wait for the deluxe edition next year, but who will? Unfortunately it is a common theme amongst the McCartney team now, lest we forget the reissues deluxe edition which have gone up by ridiculous amounts year on year!

      I’ll be waiting until next year, just like I did with Egypt Station. And I’m a McCartney completist (of his music, not of the packaging).

      Why not wait? Look how long it’s taking to get the Archive Editions released. What happened to London Town and Back To The Egg?

      Waiting is what we’ve already been doing.

    If you want to listen to those two songs before you embark on your crazed race to bag all the different coloured albums with their takes and demos and bonus tracks and dice and god knows what, follow this link.

    Good stuff

      Well, I’m sorry but that link is no good anymore, the recording has been deleted. I have listen to it a few hundred times though an I can say that Find my way is AMAZING. Catchy as hell. McCartney at his very best. If the rest of the new songs are half as good as that, we are in for a real Christmas treat. As for When winter comes, it has its charm, but I can see how it didn’t make it on to Flaming pie. Maybe it should have been kept as an outtake and included in the otherwise lacklustre archive edition. It feels a bit out of place with his most recent productions and older voice.
      Kiss of Venus sounds quite good as well, it can be heard as background music in the latest trailer of the album.
      Can’t wait to hear the whole thing. I’m so excited!!

      This bloke plays a pretty decent cover version, have a listen

    Too many different versions of it. Just do one and be done with it. Surely he doesn’t need the money
