Red Rose Speedway Deluxe

After "WILD LIFE" and "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB", RED ROSE SPEEDWAY came as a welcomed relief! I'm 68 years old and I was always a Beatles fan and McCartney fan. Lennon's solo albums were never happy so I gladly wrote him off. This deluxe set is really awesome with it's books and inserts but they are not the real reason for the purchase. The remastered music is clean and fresh sounding. You get the original release, what was supposedly going to be a two album set release plus singles, live versions of songs and some great DVDs. In particular, a clean and superb DVD of Paul's TV special. Now, even though Paul had a big hit with "My Love", this is truly a COMPLETE ALBUM! All the songs are excellent and "Little Lamb Dragonfly" could have easily been considered a masterpiece with George Martin at the helm. plus, "When the Night" flies high on this new collection. Finally, McCartney's vocal on his TV special on "Live and Let DIe" has always been more distinct and enjoyable than the single. When Paul screams "hell", his vocal is not overshadowed by the music and he sounds great. Compare and you'll know what I'm talking about. I bee won berry happy mann, duder!

Just a few highlights for me in regard to this release... The remastered and deluxe editions of both "Wild Life" and "Red Rose Speedway" were absolutely phenomenal, amazingly perfect (Booklets and doodles/sketches included!). ;) There was a time when I was unsure if "Red Rose Speedway" would ever receive an "archive" re-release... Would "Live and Let Die" make an appearance on a bonus disc of the set? Well, thankfully my hopes became a reality in both cases! Always wanted to hear a remastered "Live and Let Die," although this was previously tackled on Paul McCartney's "Pure" box set from a few years ago... The remaster on the "Wingspan" CD was nice as well, and I believe that the song would have tied in very nicely somewhere within the "Band on the Run" album. :) I also enjoy the "Group Only, Take 10" version of the track, which still sounds amazing, even without the orchestra! Only downside to this reissue, and it is a very small one, is that Paul's "take a break" dialog that preceded "The Mess" (From the 1993 remaster) was omitted from this bonus disc. Not a big gripe though... It's kind of cool that the jamming starts right up, on the other hand. :) So glad that all of the singles and B-sides made it to this set and in remastered form too! "Little Woman Love" was already featured on the deluxe reissue of "Ram," so it's a repeat, but still a very catchy and lively number, so I can't complain about it appearing twice in the archive collection. ;) 1973 was a great year for "Wings" music, and glad to know that the "RRS" reissue included all of the bonus material from that year which didn't make it to the "Band on the Run" reissue. :) Something I'd like to mention about the "double-album" version of this release is that I love how "Little Lamb Dragonfly" finishes off the album! Aside from (Obviously!) "My Love," "Little Lamb Dragonfly" is my other absolute favorite song on the album, if I had to choose... Too bad that it didn't receive recognition on any Paul McCartney/Wings Best-of compilation at some point... The early mix is amusing, since it is obvious that Paul hadn't worked out all of the lyrics as of yet, as he "La-la-las" half of the lyrics of the song... The melody always sounded beautiful, no matter the structure of the composition. :) "Seaside Woman" was among one of my favorites, in regard to the double-album, very playful and energetic atmosphere! In regard to the different sequencing of the tracks that were featured on both versions of "RRS," this reminded me of the "Roots" disc from the John Lennon "Gimme' Some Truth" box set; All of the tracks from his "Rock 'N Roll" album are there, plus a few extra tracks taken from other albums, but the running order is different! In both cases, it's great to have the feel of listening to all of the material from the actual album releases as well as the extra tracks all on one CD. :) Some of the alternate/early mixes were a treat. For example, I wish that the "stereo" effects from the final version of "Get on the Right Thing" were as good as the early mix... When listening to the early mix through earphones, the vocals change from right to left to center. The album version of the song had poor stereo quality, in my opinion, much like most of the stereo remixes from the "Help" and "Rubber Soul" albums by The Beatles; Nothing far-left/right in the stereo picture. I also like the different style vocals heard on the choruses from the rough mix of "Big Barn Bed..." Always nice to see how some of the songs evolved or were tweaked. :) The variety and style of music throughout this collection is difficult to beat... I was very satisfied with everything I've heard, released as well as unreleased! "Yes the light fell on me!" ;) Now, let's hope and pray for (HOPEFULLY) remasters/rereleases of both "London Town" and "Back To The Egg," two more favorite Wings albums of mine, as the next (Most likely!) reissues in the Paul McCartney archive collection. ;) Thanks for reading and God Bless! ~"KevyGuy" :)

This is a fantastic product! This series of reissues is known for it's stellar level of presentation and this latest release does not disappoint. While past albums have varied in terms of overall content (some are 2-3 disc, others up to 6) the material presented here is the high water mark. Owing to the fact that the original album was planned as a double, there is a wealth of bonus tracks and outtakes (3 CD and DVD BLU Ray). Features The double album as planned and relevant singles and b-sides, as well as the unreleased Bruce McMouse. The Red Rose Speedway album always felt like a compromise. A muddled and somewhat directionless statement that nevertheless contained some brilliant music, and I would argue that it's one of Paul's most underrated. The full picture is here now, and while it still lacks cohesion, it's a joy to have it officially released.

The seller was awesome and the set was great. Seller took great care to package safely and everything was perfect.

Loaded with awesome music and more. I forgot how good this album is. The Archive Collection does a stellar job once again. Very satisfying.

These remastered songs sound crisp and there were several surprises in this expanded version. The packaging is great fun and reminded me of why I enjoyed buying physical albums instead of mere digital versions.

This box set has everything you could possibly want! Remastered album is great as are the bonus tracks! The DVD TV special is finally included here ("James Paul McCartney") and its quite good as I remembered! Ram still my fave box but this is a close second!!

I love that they give you the proposed double album after all these years. Some interesting tracks if you never owned a bootleg of “hot hits cold cuts.”

My 1st McCartney Super Deluxe and cant fault it, it feels quality with incredible attention to detail. Haven’t watched the Blu-Ray yet so can’t comment but the Music sounds fantastic, even the Demos/Live stuff. Great remaster. The books are quality print. I’m going to be honest and say I’m biased, this was my first LP purchase in my pre-teens when it was 1st released so a nostalgic buy, but if your taking time to look at it then you won’t be disappointed by it.

disco sigillato ed arrivato in perfette condizioni

Una excelente recopilación de Paul McCartney & Wings , la caja es simplemente espectacular, gran material extra , el dvd y el bluray del show de Bruce McMouse es la mejor manera de imaginar ese tour universitario. Espectacular !!!!

The 12th set in the Paul McCartney Archive Series, Red Rose Speedway is full of great bonus material. The remaster of the original once again is superb and shows Wings maturing as a band, but this set is jammed packed full of great bonus material! The singles and B sides from around the period include Live and Let Die, Mary Had A Little Lamb, Hi Hi Hi and The Mess amongst others. There is also the original double album which was initially proposed. The real bonus in this package is the video however, with the inclusion of the James Paul McCartney TV Special and the Bruce McMouse animated movie. This and the Wild Life Archive editions are amongst the best in the Archive series along with Ram and Flowers In The Dirt. A must for McCartney fans!

Une seule question me poursuis. L'album était prévu double, est ce que la version proposée ici est dans l'ordre initial du projet de 1973 ? Sinon titres et interprétations magnifiques. Comme d'habitude la collection Deluxe offre un vrai paquet surprise, le bémol est le prix toutefois. Vivement la suite.
