Band On The Run Re-Issue goodies
Looks like Paul McCartney (or “his people”) figured out what Topspin is, cuz they’re using the shit out of it for his re-release of Paul McCartney and Wings’ 1973 album “Band on the Run” which (aside from “Ram” and that “The Firemen” record he did last year with Youth) is prolly my favorite Paul solo project. Oh and SURPRISE! The re-issue of it is out today! Which is why their highly-paid PR person emailed me these four podcast episodes, which are actually pretty killer. I watched em while I ate my morning salad and drank my coffee. And I even gave em my email for this shit below, but only because I didn’t realize you just got an mp3… I misread and thought it was a contest to win a trip to Lagos! Damn!

Now, here’s where I ramble about myself… So like most people with common sense, aside from Ringo, Paul is my least favorite Beatle. But even having said that I’m pretty stoked on anything the man touches, it’s like saying “that’s my least favorite way to win the lotto!” He’s a fucking Beatle man, even his shittiest records trumps 99% of everything else. I’m just happen to be much more of a John Lennon fan, mainly because he wrote the best Beatle songs and “Plastic Ono Band” changed my life (or saved my life). Although I’d rather listen to “Band On The Run” than that bullshit “Double Fantasy” re-issue shit I just got in the mail. Fuck Yoko Ono, still. Now if I would have been sent that new Lennon Boxset I’d be singing a totally different tune. Yes, I can be bought! Fuck you, pay me!
Anyways, Band on the Run is available in a variety of formats including a Standard Edition (single CD), Special Edition (2 CD/1 DVD), Deluxe Edition (3 CD/1 DVD), and Vinyl Edition. Ohhh boy I’m hoping they send me the Deluxe Edition and the Vinyl edition cuz I consider myself to be (greedy,) modern with a touch of connection to the old world. Do it!
