Beatley Tone unboxes the Paul McCartney 7" Singles Crate - All 80 singles shown and discussed #paulmccartney #thebeatles #7inchsinglesbox #beatlesfan #vinylcommunity
Well as you know by now I've already watched this video! Haha! Thanks for commenting on my video and I was happy to mention your Fabulous video. I watched every second of it and was mesmerized! So glad you're enjoying the set and take care of my friend. Cheers Matt
Thanks very much Matt, glad you liked the video, and thanks once again for promoting it on your fabulous channel. When I saw your thumbnail, I thought it was gonna be one of your comedy vids where you pull a load of singles out of a cardboard box 😂 Thanks again my friend
Really appreciate you taking time to show these singles one by one as well as the book, packaging, etc. It'd be great to have a copy, but alas, with the price tag and coming so near Christmas, I can't bring myself to do it. But seeing your wonderful video has allowed me to live vicariously thru you, sir! Fingers crossed for those London Town & Back To The Egg reissues ...
Thanks very much for this lovely comment Gary. My pleasure to do this video and to get this amazing box set. Im glad you enjoyed the video and I echo your wishes about London Town and BTTE. Cheers my friend.
Tone, thank you so much for showing this to us. Great Video! The box set is really amazing. Absolute fantastic. MPL put in so much effort and love in it ... wow. After seeing your video I can really understand why it is so expensive, but after all, not overpriced. And thanks a lot for your hello in the video. what a pleasant surprise 😀. I will not dig it. I spent too much money in 2022 for records already and I am not a 7" records guy. But I love to see this kind od stuff. Enjoy the box and the extended listening session you will surely do! And many thanks also to Mrs. Beatley Tone for allowing us to have a look at the singles box before Xmas.
Thanks Armin glad you enjoyed the video and like the look of the box. The hello - no problem, I thought it was a good time to mention you as I was talking about a German pressing. Yeah its expensive but I think good value for money for what you get and im really pleased with it. Mrs Beatley Tone has seen your comment. 🙂Haven't had a chance to play much of it yet today, its been a busy kind of day but I will settle to this soon. Thanks again for a great comment
Thanks very much Eric for this very nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. Nice to see a few singles from Sweden in the box. All the best from the UK
Thanks so much for sharing. This looks fantastic. Mine is “on the way” as Paul sang on McCartney II. I checked the shipment and it’s in transit but “getting closer to my home” great video!
Thanks very much for this lovely comment, glad you enjoyed the video. Nice use of a few song titles . Enjoy your set when it arrives and do come back and tell me what number and which test pressing you got. Cheers
Hi Robert thanks for subscribing and welcome to my channel. Glad you liked the video and that you got the set. Pretty cool number you got, what did you get as your test pressing? Thanks for a nice comment . Enjoy the box
An absolutely brilliant video Tone! Thank you for much for doing this, especially for people like me who haven't received their boxsets yet (mine should arrive Monday morning here in the US). As usual your passion for all things Beatles comes over in leaps and bounds and it was "acres of fun" watching your review this cold December morning. And what a gorgeous, fabulous boxset this is! One thing I love and appreciate about McCartney/MPL is that they always give value for money with their releases. Having never collected the 7" singles, I can hardly believe that I will have them ALL in my hands in just a few days. Wow! Also I'm excited to see what number and white label I receive. I have a theory that the higher numbers might be in the UK so perhaps I will get a lower number than you (for once)! Thanks again, I know how much effort it takes to make these videos - and I know you do it for the joy it gives you and the rest of the Beatles community. Top marks old boy!
Thanks very much Nick, glad you enjoyed the video. Hope everything happens for you on Monday and looking forward to hearing your number and which test pressing you got. This really is a set to excited about and Im sure you will stunned by how it looks in the flesh - so to speak. I agree that this represents good value for money and so glad to have it. Thanks very much for your kind words about the video and appreciation for the work that went into it. This was a real labour of love to get it done in one day - I finally finished at stupid o clock. I will reply to your latest missive as soon as the heat from this video dies down. Cheers again
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel One more thing. The "Burple" label. Once Upon a Long Ago when I was a boy in the UK I remember buying my very first "White Album". And I remember getting it home, opening it up, and being so disappointed when I was confronted with the "Purple" Capitol label on both records. Is my memory faulty or could that be right? Did you ever have a White Album with the Burple label? I remember being disappointed as I was expecting an Apple label? Help me remember!
@@nicksyrett I cant say for sure Nick, because I haven't seen every iteration of the White Album, but Ive never heard of the White album being on anything but Apple. But I guess its possible, Ive got a Greek copy of Abbey Road that is on the EMI label, so I guess it stands to reason, that not every Apple release was on an Apple label. I guess a bit more digging is required on this one.
Thanks very much. glad you enjoyed the video. yes the labels are very cool throughout this set. I agree it wasnt the best time to release this straight after Revolver and just before Xmas. I expect there were lots of fans in the same boat.
16:22 I'm not from the Netherlands, but the father of my best friend from childhood owned a music company that stocked the jukeboxes around town. The cutout on that sleeve looks like the labels that were inserted into the rack that listed the tracks (A-side, then artist, then B-side) that the customer could choose from. Maybe it's just a coincidence, though. Burple? Love it. 😂 Had no problem sitting through this video. You're obviously well-informed on these releases, so that was helpful and kept things moving along. I hope you enjoy this set immensely and I'm happy for you that your wife didn't make you wait until Christmas Day to open it!
Hi Frederick, yes the juke box thing makes perfect sense to me now - that's exactly how jukebox selections looked. Thank you. Thank you also these kind words, and Im glad you enjoyed the video and the burple gag. Im really enjoying what Ive heard of the set so far and yes I think the wait until xmas day knowing that the was hidden somewhere in house would have been unbearable. Cheers Frederick.
Great video, watched my life unfold before my very eyes! Some great stuff. I took a pass but am definitely motivated to pull out some vintage Macca tonite. Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much , glad you liked the video and also glad it brought back some memories for you. Enjoy your vintage Macca fest tonight. Thanks for a lovely comment
Wow, love it, you are very lucky, so glad that you managed to get this,,, very jealous, lol, seen some on Ebay today going for nearly £2000 !!!!, GREAT VIDEO, cheers, Dave
Very impressive! Watched while at work today, so might have missed one or two. Will browse through again. Very happy for you getting Christmas early. Perfect setup too to spin all 80 of those beauties!!!
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel only got to do the Saturday shift about once every two months. They buy us lunch at least. I’ve been excited to see everyone’s singles box.
@@BeatleDustino Oh that's not too bad then. You're an IT guy right? I haven't seen any other videos on the singles box, who else has done one and I'll go an check it out
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel no longer in IT, but still work in a call center. I work for the marketing department of a large Chevrolet/Cadillac/Buick/GMC/Honda/Nissan/Toyota automotive service department. Schedule in all services and call out for reminders of service and recalls and such. I haven’t seen anyone else yet post one. Just watched Matthew Street’s review though where he referenced you several times. And I know Andrew Dixon has his, but he is in NYC.
Well done, my friend - I think you scoped You Tube and got the first unboxing video done! Lovely enjoyment and excitement written all over your face and obvious in your voice. Hope they sound great and that you get much pleasure from them.
Thanks very much Bernie glad you enjoyed the video. yes I haven't seen anyone else doing this yet but Im sure there will be some others in the next few days. We got them on release day in the Uk but I understand there's been a delay in the US, Canada etc and that's probably why mine is the first. Glad my excitement came over in the video. they sound superb and im enjoying the set very much so far but have only had time to play around 20 singles. Thanks very much for this really lovely comment,
What a great unboxing video. I really enjoyed that. I got mine delivered today & my Live & Let Die / I Lie Around is exactly the same as yours with the misaligned B side label. I got Helen Wheels / Country Dreamers as my test pressing & I'm close to your issue number with 2242. Thanks for this. ❤️
Thanks very much David , glad you enjoyed the video. Nice test pressing, thanks for sharing that and your number. So you this misaligned label is a printing error or how the original dutch single was? If an error Im amazed this got through quality control. Enjoy your set and thanks for this very nice comment.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannelI'm going to have to trawl the internet to try & find out about the misaligned label. Like you I would be very surprised if quality control let this happen. Anything McCartney is normaly spot on. The last time I can remember anything like this was when I bought my original We All Stand Together single way back in the 80's & half of the label covered the playing surface.
@@davidreed4910 After doing the video, I had a quick look on google pics for dutch Live & Let Die but all the results only showed the green apple side. Do let me know if you find anything. There are others in the set where the song title and artist name are above the sliced apple rather than on it. These look suspect to me as well
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Will do Tone. Nothing so far though. I've just been going through my box set & I've also found Old Siam Sir has got a really wrinkly A side label & the Only Love Remains A side label covers the playing surface so it looks like quality control on this is properly lacking. 😑
@@davidreed4910 Oh no that's not good, as you saw my copies of those two records were fine. Does that mean that Only love Remains is not playable? I would send a message to Paul McCartney.com and see if they can replace it - not sure if they can do anything with it being sold out, but worth a try. The customer services is really good. My Wild Life half speed master had a jump on the track Wild Life, I told them and they sent me a replacement and said I didnt have to send the bad one back. Worth a try?
just came into this video cause I bought this collection on hi res audio...........first of all I don't know all the McCartney catelouge so a bit of a insight and enjoyed it..........but great to see your excitement buddy ..............the power of music baby!
Wow Tone, excellent video. I had to watch it in two parts and I was only sat on a comfy sofa🙂. To be fair the Singles Crate looks excellent, I hope you're going to treat Mrs Beatley at Christmas. I'd like to see other Beatles singles collections from John, George & especially Ringo. Also maybe an update on the Beatles singles collection as well. Anyway, enjoy the set Tone. Cheers again.
Thanks Eddie, glad you liked the video. It was a long watch in one sitting to be fair so well done for getting to the end. Yes Ive got something nice planned for Mrs B but I cant tell you on here because she sometimes reads the comments on my videos :-) I agree, id love something similar to this for the other Beatles and would also like a Beatles singles box as well as I have some gaps - EPs too. The crate is fanatics and everything ive heard so far sounds fantastic but im only about a quarter of the way through. . Thanks for your comment mate.
This is one set I actually said no to. One thing Im never going to play singles and secondly I haven’t got the space. But for an investment it’s good. Nice video. I’d rather Macca finished off the deluxe sets for his archive. London Town and Back To The Egg.
Yeah I get that this set isn't for everyone Trevor which is fine. I think we'd all rather that they finished off the Archive series , but this is very nice set
besides how great the box set looks ( im hopefully getting mine in the mail today) and btw i actually considered waiting to open my own first, but i could not control myself to get a look at yours first, i literally cracked up laughing out loud at the swivel chair/turntable comment ---hahaha tooooo funny- love your sense of humor Toney
Hi Ralph, glad you enjoyed the video and enjoyed the swivel chair thing. Hope yours turns up on time. Do tell me what number you got and what your test pressing is. Enjoy it when it comes and thanks for this great comment
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel hi, so i finally got my Paul's single box today, Tuesday, 5 days later than the tracking originally said, anyway... i got box # 1054 and my test pressing was the Liverpool Oratorio single, The World you're coming into b/w Tres Conejos-Save the Child-The Drinking Song(Let's find ourselves a little Hostelry)
@@ralph929 Glad its arrived safe and sound Ralph. you're the first person Ive heard of getting the Liverpool oratorio EP congratulations and a reasonably nice low Huber. Enjoy the set my friend, Im sure that you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
im new to channel. fantastic set. way too much in price for me. but they only made 3000. glad u got it my friend. love the covers. mike new sub from canada eh
Great review. I'm still waiting for my box set, it stopped on Friday and FedEx changed the delivery date from 12/02/22 to pending. Hope it arrives soon. In the meantime, I have been streaming it and all I can say it, what a set! There are so many great songs, listening to the set as a whole it reminds you how brilliant Paul is, the standard is so high from the 70s all the way through to Women and Wives.
Thanks very much Ian, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hope your box comes soon - the word 'pending' always brings with it a twang of anxiety doesn't it. Really terrific set, I have to say that the sound on these singles is amazing, has blown me away. I also had a listen to the digital files hi-res, to compare the sound and if you think they sound good as digital wait till you the things on your turntable ! Enjoy it when it arrives my friend.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel my box just arrived. The outer box was extremely damaged and had holes through it. Luckily the crate itself looks undamaged. I got We all Stand Together as my test pressing. Not one of my favourite songs, but it's fun. The set really does look amazing. Can't wait to get started.
@@ianpurnell4752 Wow luckily the crate wasn't damaged, that would have been really disappointing. Ahh you're the first that Ive heard of to get We All Stand Together. Glad its arrived safe and sound Ian, enjoy the set , im sure you will agree that its worth the wait
I can't wait for my box..it's this week Thursday..I am told..it's very cool..I just started buying singles for Wings/McCartney in 2020..I was up to about 40 singles from mostly Europe..I was afraid I would have all of these..after a year getting them..Now a box set..but Really not alot of Duplicates..thanks great video
Ahh that's great - the box set is superb and you will be very pleased with it when it comes. I hope it arrives safely and you enjoy it. Please come back here and tell me which test pressing and crate number you got. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for a really great comment.
Yes thank you. Some others have told me this and now ive been told it makes complete sense to me. I just wasnt smart enough to work it out for myself 🙂
Hello Tone, so glad you got your box !! Not going to watch this video , as much as I want to, because it is my Christmas gift and want to be surprised. Hope you enjoy the singles. Take care.
Hi Sharon, no problem, totally understand that. Your husband is letting you have it before Christmas Day though isn't he ? regardless I hope you enjoy it when you get it. It's a beauty
No, maybe Christmas Eve. It arrives here next week so we shall see. Glad you liked what you saw, hope you will be reviewing the quality of music. Take care.
It will be worth the wait I'm sure! Just want the shipment to arrive safe and undamaged at my house. Congrats to you for getting this from your sweet wife! Take care.
Loved your video Tone. My set is yet to be shipped. It’s a wonderful set. There are a few folks that quibble that it’s overpriced or a unnecessary collection but I sense jealousy from them. It’s a no brainer to purchase this set as it will only appreciate in value and it’s an awesome set to look at even if its not going to be played often.
That is human nature Im afraid Tony, I see that sort of thing a lot on you tube. I think this is set although expensive, represents good value for money. To me it doesn't really matter how much it goes up in value , because that only means something if I intend to sell it which I don't. But obviously my kids will benefit from this when I go. 🙂. I hope your set shows up soon - enjoy it the full and do share with me what your number is and what you got as your test pressing
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I totally agree with you. I don't intend to flip mine for profit either. I know I will love this set after previewing it on your channel and of course I will reveal my test pressing and the number on my box. Thanks again Tone!
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hello Tone, I just received my set today. It's set number #2340 and the test pressing is Mary Had a Little Lamb/ Little Woman Love. I am very happy with this box except for Beautiful Night which has the same label on both sides. Cheers Mate!
@@tonyfox7510 Hi Tony Congrats on the set finally arriving. You've had a long wait. Nice stand alone single as your test pressing and a number lower than mine but not too far away. thanks for getting back to me. Im doing a follow up video which will drop tonight or tomorrow and in I will talking about some of the issues people have reported . Enjoy your set and merry Christmas mate
I imagine the cut out on the Dutch record would be for a 7” jukebox…. Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed looking at all these, congrats on getting the box
Thanks very much for this very nice comment, Im glad you enjoyed the video. Yes a few people have pointed out that it was a jukebox thing, which now Ive been told makes absolute sense to me. Shame I wasnt clever enough to work it out for myself :-)
Thank you for your great and detailed vlog....I got my own which had as the test pressing Wings Listen to what man said....my enjoyment though was short lived as my Mary had a little lamb sleeve was damaged with a long score line down the centre.. gutted and annoyed!!!
Oh that's really annoying Mike. Try emailing customer services form the Macca site - they are usually really good at replacing stuff - I talk from experience. Although it might not be that easy as this is sold out but worth a try. Nice test pressing , what number crate did you get?
Hi Tone, great video! What a fabulous box - the quality looks amazing - as o live in Oz I won’t be getting mine anytime soon - compounded by the decision to buy it from the US store 😉 cheers Matt
Thanks very much Matt, glad you liked the video and yes the box is beautiful in the flesh as you will find out when yours eventually arrives. I have another subscriber from Oz who is also still waiting. Hope you love it when it comes and do come back and tell me the number and which test pressing you got. Thanks for this great comment
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel definitely will, I met another Macca fan (shout out to Dave) at the Black Friday RSD whilst waiting in the queue for the shop to open, and he had also taken the plunge. All I can say is we have have very understanding partners 🤣
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi Tone, box just arrived to Australia via the US thankfully in one piece and what a beauty - number 1773. Test pressing ‘Coming Up/Lunch’. Just had a quick check of all 81 records and no obvious issues - I am going to have a busy Christmas 😀 Keep up the Stirling work on your channel and merry Christmas, Matt
@@mattlonnen8664 Ahhh fantastic! Yes I'd heard from another Australian subscriber that the box has finally landed in Oz. Great stuff and nice test pressing. Glad to hear you've go no issues, so all that is left now is to enjoy your box by giving all those records a spin. Glad you are enjoying the content of the channel and appreciate your comment Matt. Thanks for the Christmas wishes , I wish the same too you and yours my friend.
Cheers Michael. yes a few people have also told me about the juke box thing and now Ive been told it makes complete sense to me now - I just wasnt clever enough to work it out for myself 🙂 Glad you liked the box
@@TonyStern Yes I saw that too. Made me laugh that Joe wasnt going to show the singles but then he was so thrilled with it , he just kept pulling out single after single.
As far as I listened to it on RU-vid, 'I Want to Come Home' is totally a new version to my great surprise, although I prefer the original recording as the one from the Soundtrack.
Hi David, Im glad you're really pleased with the box , me too. Good idea to top up with other singles - I was surprised off the ground wasnt in the box. I guess you'll have to remove th foam to get other singles in there - its a tight fit isn't it. What did you get as your random test pressing?
Great review Tone , going through each single in the box set , I’m so jealous , I wish they had given us more of an advance warning of this release coming out , or put it back until 2023 , then I probably could have got it , but with the revolver coming out & then this box set , I was stumped .
I totally agree with your sentiments. Probably not the best time to drop a massive release on us with such short notice and at a time when everyone’s flexible friend is trying to hide from Christmas itself. And a bigger press run would have probably helped. Personally, I would like them to have done what Sony did many years ago with an Elvis box set of singles where the very first single was put out with the box. The Presley box did not contain so many singles and each single was released on a weekly basis. However, with the McCartney release, they could have done the box with 20 singles as the first release and then the remainder split over two (30 singles each) or three releases (20 singles each) so people could spread the cost.
@@emjel-yi9eg i remember the Elvis singles box set it was housed in a Red Box , the box set came out with one single already in , and the rest came out one every week , as you have already quoted , anyway they might re-issue it again , but I very much doubt it
Thanks very much John. Im glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I agree it wasnt the best time to put this out was it, hot on the heels of revolver. I consider myself very lucky to have it. Thanks very much for your nice comment
Thanks very much Paul, glad you liked the video. Im not sure about glaring omissions , but one I would have liked to have seen in there which isn't is Off the Ground but on the whole im delighted with the set.
I decided not to go for this box set but have decided to collect the original vinyl singles - I am up to 35 at present - including a number of 12” singles and picture disc#.
Great idea although quite a lot of the later singles have never been out in the 7" format before this box. However, if you manage to track down all the others you will have a very good collection. Are you looking for the versions of the singles from the countries that are in the box , or are you happy to collect any version of the singles?
In case no one said, the cut out on the single might be for a jukebox entry, that is what it looks like the way it's printed and size. Not from the Netherlands but that is what it looks like to me.
Did you get an oblong insert sheet inside the packaging box detailing all the singles in order....I did, but don’t recall you showing it in your vlog??
Thanks Sam glad you liked the video and really happy for you that you got this great set - it really is a thing of beauty. What number crate did you get?
The set is not for me - I’m a cd guy - but it is a very nice set and I hope it forms a part of a very merry Christmas for you and your family. I would be interested to read Paul’s thoughts on this music since I don’t think he gives enough respect to his own solo and Wings catalogue.
Well not really missing as such as this is not supposed to be a complete singles collection , just 80 singles picked by Paul to represent his 80 years. When you think about the global aspect of this box there's more singles from different countries that aren't here - the US Eat home for example but the 4 you mention have definitely been left out - I guess he's not so keen on them
I wish there would have been a cd release but not 80 cd singles that would be crazy. Maybe a 2 cd set with a nice book letting us know about all the singles.
Hi Beatley Tone, did you see Andrew Dixon's video from yesterday.....it said for the title of his video ' My McCartney Box Has Come But I Can't Open It'.....He had completely forgotten that it was coming when he was on holiday in New York 3,000 miles away, so he should have a nice surprise when he gets back.....great of you to show every single single and I am l👀king forward to see your forthcoming video of the book.....The sleeves of the singles l👀k very sturdy and cosmopolitan from everywhere in the world just as the Beatles Singles Box which was issued in 2019.....I wish you all the best and am sure you can't wait to play the contents of your box Beatley Tone.🍷👍👌👌
Hi Phillip, no I didnt see Andrew's video but a few people have mentioned it. Im sure he's having a great time in NY though. Glad you enjoyed the video and yes im very happy with the box. its been a busy weekend so im only about 20 singles in so far but loving it. Thanks very much for a great comment.
I'm really pleased you are enjoying your fabulous Macca Box.....It looks like a fantastic collection with some brilliant gems that have been added....Enjoy Beatley Tone 🍷👍👌
O WOW you got it mate!!! I didn't get it 😪 just can't $$$ . So nice and McCartney's Wings lol wow right!!!! The lol thing about this box set is I do have a lot of these 45's but they are just so crisp looking !!!! mmm Interesting about Coming up live one?.!!! TS nice one on 45 wow!!! I do have the 12 inch!!! I do like all of the Flaming Pie 45's so nice mmm lol!!! Nice 45's from New and the other ones too. Wow this box set sure dose have it all. I do think I need a nap after that one mate LOL!!! But I know you will have a good time with it all. Thank you for showing this and wow well done on this one!!!!
Thanks Brad, this set is beautiful and I am so glad to have it . The Flaming pie singles are particularly nice I agree. Glad you liked the video mate but if you think you need a nap after watching, imagine how I felt after making it lol. hope you and Mrs BB are doing well. Speak soon mate.
Well done you. And that is a big set to do more takes 😁I know win I do one and get it on one take I am looking for someone to hi five LOL!!! Most likely it is Bubby🦮LOL!!!
Yes it is Matt. I recorded the clip for that and Party Party on Friday night but I must have missed it during the editing process of the video. Someone else pointed this out so I found the missing clip and made a very short update video, showing these 2 singles. You can watch it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u1VWYkO22bg.html
Does ANYONE out there have scans of the new sleeve art for these 45s? It would be great to have something to add to the metadata beyond the crate image.
That's a great idea David to have the individual cover art for each single for people who bought the download. If you find something online please let me know the link and I'll do a video letting people know that they can do this
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Will do! I have my own scans of many of the original sleeves (some in less than great shape), but as we know, there have been several newly created sleeves for this set (including the three Flaming Pie singles), and I'd love to have scans of those sleeves in particular.
@@daveidmarx8296 Thanks. If you can't find anything, send me an email at beatleytone@gmail.com and I will scan the flaming pie sleeves for you and send them to you
I'm forever grateful for this video and look inside the box. It's put me off seeing the singles on Parlophone. The label isn't part of EMI these days, it belongs to Warner Music, i'm sure they've licenses the artwork for collectable purposes but not for me. Maybe i'd be interested in selected titles if someone decides to sell them on Ebay!
I don't understand your rationale here - please explain. What difference does it make who owns the label now? This set provides replicas of the original releases . However, Im glad to have provide a service. Nobody will be selling these singles out of the box unless they have a screw loose. 😂
That purple or "BURPLE" as you called it, was actually the color that Capital used on their 45's from the late 50's to early 60's. I have many of them!! I also believe "Liberty" label used them as well, but I'd have to check.
Im only through the first 20 or so singles but everyone one seems to be dead flat so far. Sorry to hear you have a few warped ones. It might be worth getting in touch with Paul's website - his customer services dept is really good and have replaced things for me before without question
just think it wouldve been nice if somewhere on the box was signed by Macca ! (or at least something inside like the test pressing cover signed by him)...thanks for the vid x...wouldnt the Mrs Vandebilt "cut out" be for a jukebox ?
Yes that would have been a welcome addition to this box set for sure - great idea Lyla. Yes some other viewers have pointed out that the cut out is for a juke box. Now Ive been told it makes perfect sense to me - shame I wasnt smart enough to work it out for myself. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for a great comment.
I've just finished watching the full video. Brilliant as always. I also noticed for the first time how you record your videos. It's directly from your laptop, isn't it? Keeping it simple is a great rule for many things in life! I never intended to get this box, but still I was curious to see what it's like. Your genuine reaction of joy is lovely! So happy for you! I do have a good few of the originals in my collection, but I rarely play them. Now I wonder how you are going to match this Christmas gift from your wife!? What will she get in return? Ha ha ha, that's a difficult one! A pet in a box? 😄 All the best, mate! Stein
Hi Stein Thanks very much for these kind words, really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. I actually record my videos on my iPhone . When it's a long video, I record it in segments and edit the videos together using iMovie. Im glad that my delight at getting this came across in the video. I also have quite a few of the singles from when they came out or getting them second hand for ones I missed going backwards from when I discovered the Beatles in 1976. I stopped buying singles on vinyl at Once Upon A Long Ago, after that I only bought Cd singles so really glad to get a lot of these on vinyl for the first time. I also really like that there are lots of singles from other countries which obviously I didnt have. I think that is my favourite aspect of this box. Now I know exactly what Mrs Beatley Tone is getting for xmas from me but I couldn't possibly tell you on here as she reads a lot of the comments on my videos. It won't be a pet in a box though lol. Thanks very much for this really great comment Stein. Best wishes Tone.
About to purchase this set for £720, except the set is missing the test pressing and the book, so figured I'd come back and check out what I'm missing in the set, although I think for that price I've done okay! If a test pressing or a book come up for sale on ebay I might pick it up but was okay with that price considering the current market prices being significantly more than that just for the book and test pressing so I'm not too bothered! Looking forward to having a copy myself considering I was very disappointed not to have picked one up in the original release.
That is a really good price Boyan , enjoy when you get it. you have to wonder why there is no book or test pressing though. Maybe the the seller planned to sell each piece off separately
Apparently the person I’m buying it from was sold the incomplete set and weren’t told about the lack of book and test pressing, so maybe the owner before them had that idea, or just kept them for themselves before selling the rest! Either way it’s culminated in a good deal for me!
Thanks for sharing your great set!! I believe the 612 dollars they were selling it for, for those 2 days was a good value, but didn't even have that amount on hand to spend right away. Now the set is totally out of reach for poor folks like myself. Enjoy your set!! thanks Bruce
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Well you should, it's a great looking set and a treasure of Paul's music to behold. Only a slight critique, so many numbers are duplicated and not one "Sally G".
@@brucetowell3432 I think there's only 2 repeats Old Sir Sir and C Moon which like you say is a bit disappointing. Sally G is the b side of junior's Farm so that's here
Thanks glad you liked the video Terry. It wasnt so much that i missed the singles , more that the clip i recorded got left out during the edit process. I did a video the next day showing the clip i missed out of the main video. You can find it in the list of videos on my channel but thanks for your comment
A fantastic box set and contrary to most blogs, i believe to be very reasonably priced. Probably one of McCartney's best reissues to date with a wealth of material that has not seen 7" vinyl. for me its a 9 out of 10 score. a few little niggles 1. Eat At Home / Smile Away - No: 7 in Netherlands 2. Bip Bop - No: 45 in Belgium 3. Rockestra Theme - released in france 4. Ebony and Ivory could have been released with the serpia cover 5. Ballroom dancing / Here Today - abandoned 7" but No: 22 in Us Main Rock Chart 6. The Pound Is Sinking - No: 44 in Main rock chart 7. The Man / Blackpool - would have been great - abandoned 7" 8. Party Party - i think you missed this one out - Promo 12" 9. Put It There - i'm sure this should be included - mi think you missed this out too 10. Vanilla Sky - Soundtrack song. I hope these are special releases that will fill in where the foam is in the box set but hey, we all know its 80 singles to represent 80 wondrous years - Happy Birthday Macca
I agree, although this is expensive I think it represents great value for money with what you get in the box. I understand your niggles - I expect the list of missing singles from around the world is even more extensive. I was surprised that Off the Ground wasnt included. I didnt actually miss the party Party and Put it There, I recorded the clip for these two but I mistakenly missed them when editing the video after recording. I posted an update video yesterday to show those two missing singles and you can see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u1VWYkO22bg.html. if you want to. Thanks very much for a great comment
I agree with you Jay, since the release set of this box I have seen smaller boxes from the Strokes and Robbie Williams and per disc their sets are significantly more expensive and that’s before you take into consideration the box and book of the Macca set! Cheers
Hi there thanks for telling me. I definitely did the clip for Party Party showing the etching and Put it There was also on the same clip, so that is also missing. Im guessing they got left off during the editing process, I will try and find the clip and add it if that is possible. if not I will post them as a stand alone video. Will let you know. Thanks again for pointing this out
@@nicksyrett oops I didnt realise Id missed that. I can send you a pic by email if you like, but you'll see it for yourself on Monday. If some reason it doesn't come on Monday let me know and I'll do it. Btw re the numbering, you might be right.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I won’t see mine until December 25. That has been made VERY clear to me by she who must be obeyed. I am going to try to sneak a look at my box number tho, if i can. But that will be it. I won’t know the identity of my ‘test pressing’ until the 25th also. Ugh. But at least i have it and i will gaze upon it wrapped under the tree the whole month. Yes, please email me a pic!
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel A school mate of mine in late 1964 or 1965 used to crack each other up with fake scenarios of folks switching bands...for instance I'd say... 'Hey did you hear the latest news? Ringo just joined The Beach Boys and Dennis Wilson is now the Beatles drummer...""...or Bill Wyman just quit the Stones to play bass for the Dave Clark Five and Bill was being replaced by Rick Huxley" we'd go back and forth cracking each other up with very deep belly laughs....thanks for reminding me a bit of childhood school days;-)
As mentioned on comments on your previous video, I got 2100 and Mary Had a Little Lamb test pressing. My friend saw my post on Facebook about this set when I first ordered it and was so taken with it, just paid £1250 for one off of Ebay before the prices escalate even further. He said even that is a fair enough price for the amount that's included. Just an observation, but is this the biggest box set ever released in terms of the number of vinyl discs within it?
I reckon it had to be the biggest box set in terms of the amount of items in it. Probably not in terms of songs though. Thanks for sharing your test press and number Mary is a good one to get because I guess as single its a little bit obscure. I think in a few years time, your friend will think he's made a very shrewd investment eh. Thanks again for your comments
Yes I can imagine it with the Beatles who could have tempered down down some of Paul's camp cause we know that it must have been hard to now have to write everything without his reliable partner to pour a couple drops of magical acid into Paul's bottomless Honey Pot and just having his greatest most reliable bandmates who never ever let him down. If you watch the Beatles signing the papers to officially disolve the group George is just thrilled and Paul really wishes he wasn't losing the Best once in probably no less than at least 500 years and who knows how long , sky's the limit or maybe at least until the next cataclysmic earth disaster event. Time to put their catalog on satellite and store one on the moon and on Mars .I wonder how many years it would really honestly take for a musical phenomenon to render the Beatles to Number 2 on the list, probably won't happen in my lifetime and I'm 63 . So I got to be 5 years old when every radio was Yeah yeah and they had toys and bubble gum cards and cartoons and all Three of my older sisters loved them. IT was my first real life lasting Loving memory ,. The only memory before them that I can honestly say I vividly remember is being fed eggs in a highchair at 4 years old.. I have never eaten eggs as a singular food ever since, only baked into cakes and cookies etc. I'm the Paul should not be allowed to die guy
I am not certain that "House of Wax" is the live version found on the Amoeba Concert.... Wasn't there a live version from the Electric Ballroom - perhaps it is that version... not sure?
Has yours arrived yet? I haven't got to Ever Present Past single yet so cant confirm one way or the other, but the book says the engineers are Amoeba Music LA, so that's why I made my assumption in the video. He did play it at the Electric Proms at the Roundhouse in London - I was there :-)
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Can't believe you were there at Electric Proms! You are gonna have to do a video on all your Macca concerts attended and which was the greatest!!! If it says Amoeba then I guess that is it, just sounds different - perhaps a different mix? It is almost 2pm here in the mid-west and I usually get FedEx deliveries in mid-afternoon. It says it is on the truck for delivery today so fingers and toes crossed!!!
Hi Tone You gave emphasis to the London Town and BTTE tracks which have a 2022 remaster which you imply means an archive edition will soon follow. Maybe but you also mentioned that several tracks from Press to Play and other albums have 2022 remasters. So perhaps the new archive is not inevitable, or maybe some unannounced purpose lies behind these new remasters. Maybe an album compilation of the singles next year Fascinating stuff Regards Andrew
Maybe Andrew, I was trying to second guess what was coming next, but who knows. You can drive yourself mad trying to guess what is coming. I never for a minute thought they would be a singles box set this year. A singles album, maybe? It will be 7 years since Pure McCArtney so who knows? Thanks for another great comment mate.
Hey Tone! Loved seeing you chuffed with Silly Love songs. first single bought with my own money and it's the one test you get out of all of them? That was so cool better than Rupert he he he! ...looks fabulous. I like the "mini-lp" hard cardboard idea. book looks good. I didn't notice if you mentioned so I will ask... would you have preferred an 'all UK' box? I did not order however if it was an "all UK or all USA" box, I might have. Argy v Australia...good luck tomorrow vs Senegal! You know I am with you and expecting a hard battle with France then Port/Spain. It looks like it could be (fingers crossed by me!!!!) an England V Argy Final 40 years after Falklands. I would be chuffed for that as you say but Senegal first. The heat might give the Senegalese a slight advantage later in the match therefore I think England must strike quickly and often. I told you that a 3-1 or 4-1 against USA (see what happened when my boys lost 3-1? ugh giving up the ball...) result was expected, well I think you do 3-1 tomorrow! Good luck and I am not the kiss of death, PK's are for England! Smile Tone AND do thank Mrs. BeatleyTone for letting you have early! we got a very enjoyable video!
Hi Russ hope your are well mate. Yes I was really please with Silly Love Songs , ive always really loved that single. So that was your first eh. and yes very glad it wasnt Rupert, probably my least favourite. Actually I really like the singes from all over the world idea and would have preferred less UK singles because I already have quite a lot of UK singles, so the more foreign ones the better for me. Sorry about the your boys going out. It was a big ask against a very good Dutch side . I watched the game and was obviously routing for the USA but you guys are joint hosting the next World Cup so I guess you'll build towards that. Really pleased with our victory tonight against a tough Senegal side. It was a hard watch for 30 mins but I felt once we scored we never looked in trouble. France is going to be something else. very difficult game on Saturday . My band is playing a gig in a pub on Saturday night so we will have to get there early to set up and watch the game in the pub - it should be packed. then we will start our set as soon as the game ends. If England win we will open with 3 Lions should be a great night (if we win). If we beat France, I will start to believe we can win it. Cheers Russ speak soon.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hey Tone doing fine over here. I am a completist and although the smattering around the world is appealing... an all-USA crate, all-UK, all European. all Asian...afraid that would have sent the bank account spiraling way out of control but getting a few from some countries .... would also make this obsessive very compulsive go "this is nice! now I must get every release from...sigh"... how does the test pressing sound? truncated version/different or? Japan V Croatia in one hour...Cool! coming home indeed! Historically it looks like it could be all Trafalgar affair if Spain/Portugal move on. England V France - of course, but the lines of Torres Vedras (Portugal) knockout Spain, like they did...oh stop me now from being silly and re-enacting Nelson's death ala Monty Python and focus on France. Who plays the Nobby Stiles role aka nuisance disrupter to Mbappe and the attack? Stones/Maguire solid pairing in the back but will it be up to Rice to run with Mbappe at times? I have read Walker will be the runner in the beginning flip flopping sides with him but surely this will be Rice's key moments, stopping and turning around into the England counterattack. I can't wait and good luck at the gig!
@@RussBeatle63 Yes I can see how this could lead to some compulsive collecting and a huge dent in the bank balance. The test pressing is exactly the same as the released version as far as I can make out - I think the idea is just a novelty surprise item in the box for everyone so effectively you get 2 copies one single , one with a white label and one with the proper single - so its a box of 81 singles really. What has blown me away with this set is the sound quality of these singles. they sound awesome. I have only heard about a quarter of the box so far and every one is stunning so far. Shame Japan went out but Brazil were astonishing tonight and my boy Paqueta got a great goal. I think Walker will get the job of keeping mbappe quiet because he's quick. If only he was the only one we had to worry about ! yes Rice will have the job of breaking up play and setting us off on attack. Should be a cracker, but I will be very nervous watching it. If England win the pub will be packed for our gig which will be a bonus, if we lose we could see the pub empty out or it could go the other way and everyone stays to drown their sorrows. We will see
I'd really love this boxset I've noticed that there's a few 2022 remix of the wings stuff that's already been done on the archive sets and the magneto pic sleeve is fantastic. when i bought I've had enough I played it to death absolutely love the song and the fact I didn't chart so well was probably coz got it on the album 3 months before same as the single itself released far to late ,that sort of thing crept in, in the 70's as we know the fabs only did that once but they were all over effectively. Also they've copied the last Beatle singles box with covers from around the world. Strange you didn't get the singles of the tug of war album as two had B-sides not on the album, as of note coz I'm writing this i go through the vid all the stuff we are awaiting as archive sets all have a 2022 remix (could get all pre millennium archives we are waiting for within 18 months (he types hopefully). like what they did with the flaming pie singles, should've done that originally. Dance tonight good too, and nod your head great. ever present is the same as the original, sing the changes nice.(All the singles with white border sleeves are great) all in all a great set I'm jealous but have the originals to console myself with sorry for the long comments tony i hope you enjoy it, great vid.
Yes come of the already remastered for the archive series have been remastered again. For example Coming Up live in Glasgow is on the McCartney II archive . The version on that I believe is the full version lasting 4:10 as played at the gig. however the version of that song that came out on the b side of the Coming Up single in the UK was an edited version of that 4:10 version, clocking in at 3:50. As this set is replicating original releases of the 7" single it is the the 3:50 version that is in the set and therefore had to be remastered again. I also love Ive Had Enough but didnt buy the single because the A & B sides were on the London Town album which I already had. I did get Ebony & Ivory and Take it Away because as you say they had unreleased b sides but I didnt buy the Tug of War single because the b side get it, was on the album. Sorry if that point didnt come across in the video. Im not sure we will get all the archives in such a short period of time but it would be fantastic if we did. Of course there is more to putting together an archive box than just the remaster of the album so I guess it takes time to put a box set together. The flaming Pie singles look really great. Glad you liked the video and no worries about a long comment, always good to read good comment so thanks very much for posting an excellent one.
As you might know "Once Upon a Long Ago" is one of my favourite songs. But who produced it? I think on the new set it says "Produced by George Martin" but I seem to remember Phil Ramone being credited as producer on the original single. Is this correct and if so, why the discrepancy???
I checked on my original single Nick, which says Produced by Phil Ramone , mixed by George Martin. The one in the set indeed says Produced by George Martin. Yet another error. there's a few in this set as you will find out in 16 days !
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Thanks again. Do you have Luca's book? If so, take a look at the part about this song (on page 265). Phil may have produced the basic tracks but it looks like everything else was done by George Martin at Abbey Rd, including all the solos (Gtr, Sax, Violin, Recorder). Maybe Ramone was there, but seems unlikely with George there? So if George produced the overdub sessions and the mixing, it doesn't sound like Ramone could have done that much? So wondering if has been realized now and a correction to the production credit made? It's hard to think that in examining the original artwork for this release that they would have accidentally omitted Ramone?
@@nicksyrett Yes I do have Luca's book. The way I read it is that GM only did the orchestral arrangement . It doesn't really say that he produced the sessions. The way its says 'the track was presented to Phil Ramone', for me clearly indicates that he is the main producer as that is what artists do - play the songs to be recorded as a demo to the producer ( like Paul did to Nigel Goodrich for Chaos or George did for Phil Spector as we hear on ATMP demos days 1&2). It sounds from the book that Paul did most of the overdubs himself (probably at Hog Hill either with or without PR there and from what the sax player says about his solo, that sounds as if the session just involved him and Paul (although its not specific). I have the 12" single as well and that just credits Phil Ramone as the producer and the producer of the b side Back on My Feet. I imagine this might be part of the Press to Play archive collection. Maybe we will get the full details there. The rest is speculation
Hey Tone, I’m sure you understand, I won’t be watching this video - not until after my box has arrived and I’ve had the experience of opening it and going through it myself. Very jealous that you have yours already, but hey, all good things….. Enjoy!!
Completely understand that Jason. Hope yours arrives soon safe and sound and that you enjoy it to the full. Please come back here and tell me which crate number and test pressing you got. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with this - its a beaut as you guys say 😂
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel hey Tone, thought I’d give you a quick update. My box is now in Sydney and should be delivered 13/12. I got a bit of a surprise today when a notice arrived saying I owed an additional $230AUD import duty, as the value of the box is over $1000AUD. Oh well, its only money…
@@jasonardler8373 Hey Jason, well good news that it's 'relatively' just round the corner. Import duty ouch !! I promise you won't be disappointed. Roll on Tuesday and enjoy the set when it arrives mate
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel well happiest of Sundays, my box arrived this morning - 2 days earlier than expected. No. 2019/3000 with Juniors Farm test pressing, which I am very pleased with. Thanks also for the shout out in your video!!
Hi Tony I'm a new subscriber and I'm enjoying your videos mate especially the Paul McCartney boxset showing , I'm still waiting for mine I live in the midlands so I don't know what's going on , do you know who the carrier is for this item ? Best regards Martin..
Hi Martin, welcome to the channel. Really sorry to read that your box hasn't arrived yet. the courier company was Yodel - they are notoriously bad and ive had things go missing from them as well . Maybe start with them (I remember they have an app to track) if not, go back to Paul's website or wherever you ordered it from. good luck with your search, I hope it shows up mate. The problem is there was no tracking for this. I didnt get any notification of when it was going to be delivered, it just turned up randomly. Glad to hear you are enjoying the content on the channel - thank you
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi tone thanks for the reply and info , yeah it's driving me mad because as you say there is no tracking available so I don't even know where it is , I did have a McCartney iii album on green vinyl go missing never turned up. I'm going to download the yodel app and see where that gets me , anymore info you have time would be appreciated mate looking forward to your next video mate thank you 👍
@@martinrobinson3859 I know people are still waiting for this in the US ,Canada, Australia but I don't know of any other UK people that are still waiting. I know that doesn't sound encouraging but I don't know that many Uk people who have this either, so maybe not as grim as it sounds. I would definitely chase this with Pauls website . Really hope it turns up soon mate
Great review - looks superb. I really wish that for those who could not buy this set in time or could not afford the set, and who have to make do with a download, that the sleeves could be downloaded as they also form an important part of the story. The small print run meaning the set sold out so quickly along with not getting the sleeves are my biggest disappointment.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that someone loads up the sleeves soon, so those who have taken the download can allocate the correct cover art to each track
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel - now that really wood be great. Alternatively, a CD release in 7" or 8" packaging with the same book or a book devoted to the sleeves. That would be good for the McCartney collectors who did not have a spare £600/$600 readily available because they’ve just paid their energy bill 😉 PS in the meantime, can you let me know when you’ve done them lol.🤔👍
@@emjel-yi9eg haha you never know, I might just. Im not sure this will ever see a CD release though, simply because its a focus on 7"singles but you never know. You can take some pleasure knowing that Im having to keep the heating off so my missus can pay for it 😂
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel - well I don’t know….you get the box and someone else pays for it. If that’s not a win win. If I’d bought it, we could turn our heating off as I’d get some real heat from my accountant aka the wife. 😉😀
I survived the whole video and made pauses when appropriate. I can not afford the box set as I had a stroke and my right side is messed up. I can type with my left hand but my right side I can only use my index finger and my thumb. When I talk, I sound like a drunken fool. But the only unreleased single is "The Man" with the B-side :Blackpool". The only question I had regarding "Blackpool" is it the 1974 recording or is it from the 1980's (Carl Perkins would've like that song). And no recording dates in the book you showed. I'm a bit weird as I like to put my recordings together by date order.
@@cb-dm7vv Ive certainly not heard that version. Sounds great but as it didnt make the Pipes of Peace archive collection, it seems unlikely we will veer get it
Ummed & R'd weather order the box. Decided the next day, went into all the web sites. SOLD OUT. Thought it was a lot of money. Then found out there were the instalments. Did your Wife pay the full amount or the 4 Monthly Payments. Found again i missed the Second Issue too. Trouble is you never know if and when the 2nd chance came up. With they could tell us in advance. Enjoy your Box
Yes Graham, because there were so few made, it was one of those things that I needed to make a snap decision on. Because its been so popular maybe they will do another pressing in the future. I don't think we had the option to spread the cost in the UK so she paid for it all at once. Im enjoying the box a lot so far. thanks for your comment
I listened to the digital version and I was hyped to see that Back to the Egg tracks got a 2022 remaster! But upon listening I really dislike how it sounds. For me the 93 remaster that is available currently sounds way better.... I even think they did some remasters that bring the dynamics down so that the cutting was easier on the discs... I have no proof it's just what I think on first inspection. I don't even understand why Tug of War got a 2022 remaster when in 2015 it got a remix.
Its funny you should say that because someone else asked a question about coming up so I compared the hi-res download version of the song against the vinyl and the vinyl sounded way better which surprised me. I have absolutely no complaints about how the vinyl sounds of the singles that ive heard so far (around 20). based on that I wouldn't put too much weight on how the digital version sounded. I think Tug of War was remixed in 2015 for the archive set, so this is a new remastering of that remix.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel thank you for the information! That is so weird.. if you can compare, the first 3 seconds of "Getting Closer" painted the whole picture for me and the 2022 remaster sounded way less clear. Like a wall between me and the music. Would love to know if the vinyl suffers from that too
For me streaming is great for portability - having stuff on your phone, laptop etc but files on Spotify are compressed and don't sound great if you play them through your hifi. This box is about owning the actual records, how they sound and of course there is a nostalgia aspect to this - singles were the way that everyone my age first discovered pop music but I realise this isn't the case for younger people and I also get that this set isn't for everyone - this is not a convenient way to play this music but each to their own eh . Thanks for your comment Chris
The only single that I can think of that came out on coloured vinyl originally was Seaside woman on yellow vinyl. That isn't included here (although I do have one that I might stick in the box if I can squeeze it in).
hahaha such behaviour coupled with the stamping of feet, probably won't go down too well. I'll have to play We All Stand Together to cheer myself up :-)
