For some reason, I'm really excited for McCartney 3. I've got that Oasis album build up feeling from my teenage years. When Heathen Chemistry came out, I remember my dad dropped me off about two blocks away from the CD store and I ran the whole way to buy it. Don't think I'll run to get Mc 3 but I've got high hopes.

I've got the ltd white version pre-ordered. The first time I've pre-ordered a McCartney album ever! Despite being a big Beatles/McCartney fan for about 15 years. With the lockdowns / coronavirus this year I've finally got around to picking up the PM Archive Collection 2CD albums, so McCartney III has come at a great time for me! |

Hoping it has its quirks, is unpolished and a bit rough around the edges. McCartney is less interesting latterly when he's been very 'clean' with his albums so a bit of madness would certainly harken back to the Macca we know and love.

Obviously you can't beat the best of his straightforward pop songwriting, but with the best will in the world he isn't gonna pull another 'Here, There and Everywhere' or 'Fool on the Hill' out of the bag at this stage; so I hope he's used this opportunity to get weird again. |

Is Magical Mystery Tour considered a proper album by most, or no because it is a double EP?

If we’re talking about the 11 track album which is the most widely available nowadays, the first 6 tracks were recorded at the same time as each other and released as the original MMT EP (in Britain anyway), the other 5 were just originally standalone singles and their b-sides and then tagged into the end which were recorded earlier, mainly during the Sgt Peppers sessions. These were added for the US market originally and then added much later for worldwide Despite that I actually count it when giving my lists (much like many people do with The Masterplan I suppose) |

I love it but I don't think the Beatles(in 67) would have wanted that selection of songs to be their follow up to Pepper. That was the White Album's job. I don't even really consider Let It Be to be real Beatles album in the same sense as their other albums. It was never really completed by the band. It is a real album but I see it more as like an outtake album that gets released and polished up by someone else years after a band splits. |

I always wondered what others thought and you confirmed my thought that it isn't really a proper release. It's pretty weird that the US one was the one that was distributed worldwide many years later. |

I kind of think of Let It Be Naked as kind of an in between what would and would not be a proper release. If I was McCartney and I heard the album release and for the first time I heard Phil Spector add a bunch of arrangements and overdubs, I would have been pissed. I think Let It Be Naked is closer to what Paul envisioned as what was getting released but since it was not actually released at the time I think of it as a step closer to a proper Beatles album. I would be lying if I said I have not listened to Let It Be or Let It Be naked often. I've always liked it. What you said about the White Album makes a lot of sense and probably is what they were thinking about as a follow up. |

I don't know which version of Let it Be I prefer. The Spector production didn't bother me until people pointed it out around the time of Naked. Having Don't Let Me Down on there is a big bonus though. |

Maybe I'll make a poll since some seem to consider it as an album while others do not. Regarding the version with the singles attached to the double EP, I think if McCartney really did not want that track listing being distributed onto CD when their catalogue began to be sold as CDs, he would've spoken up and stopped it. It would be interesting to see if anyone knows if Lennon or McCartney had a say regarding the track listing of the 1976 LP released in the UK. |

It was released as a double EP in the UK and as an LP in the US. I've never given it much thought as we had the album at home and both Wikipedia and Spotify list it as an album as well. It was even nominated for a Grammy for Album Of The Year, so I guess we're allowed to see it as an album. |

Probably my favourite song ever written by Macca. Everything I love about his songwriting is there. The lyrics are some of his finest ever, the arrangements (on the original version but also on that version) are sublime (the french horn !) and the melody on the top of that is just so beautiful.
One of the highlights of The Beatles career and that's saying a lot.

One of the highlights of The Beatles career and that's saying a lot. That film this clip is from, Give My Regards To Broad Street, is by all accounts a really poor film but its worth it for performances such as this alone. Of particular interest is the great medley he performs in the film, the best performances I've ever heard for these songs, especially Here, There & Everywhere which is one of the rare Beatles recordings I'm critical of in that its just too sickly sweet. In this medley version, the sentimentality is dialled back and Paul's vocals benefit from not being double tracked as per the album version. |

Yeah, I see what you mean about Here, There and Everywhere recording. I've read and heard a lot of people say the same. I think at first I wasn't impressed with the song for that reason but slowly the melody appeared to be so beautiful that it didn't bother me anymore. Btw, just found that page where they discuss which would be Macca greatest melody. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/what-is-paul-mccartneys-greatest-melody.782499/Some choices I wouldn't have made tbh, like "I Will". I feel like they only pick melodies with the more movement, in that case people could argue "The Beat Goes On" (one of the Oasis related melodies with the more movement) is a better melody than "Live Forever"  |

As it turns out, It seems the entire album has leaked (McCartney III). Listening right now, not the best quality however.

It's the 50th anniversary of All Things Must Pass, and it looks like we're getting a brand new mix of the (triple) album. Alongside the forthcoming Let It Be Peter Jackson movie and most likely new mix of that record, it seems that there's going to be a de-spectorification of the Beatles back catalogue. I didn't mind his work on All Things Must Pass, but this does sound very clear and wonderful.

I had a quick listen to Mc3 but stopped because the quality is so bad. I think I'm going to hold tight until I get to put it on my turntable. I liked the first two songs that leaked quite a lot.
Can't wait to hear the new mix of All Things Must Pass. The guy who's doing it did a great job on the latest JL compilation.

I think Phil Spector produced tracks are difficult to remix.

 When he's gone, Macca will be everyone's favourite Beatle. What a legend. |
