Hi Tone. Looking forward to this release. The previous half speed masters sound sensational. BOTR is a great sounding album so this should be something really special. Im in for the 2 x lp and 2 x cd. Just hope 2024 sees London Town and Back to the Egg archive releases too. Hope your injury now on the mend Tone.

Shortly after I typed my earlier comments on the album I read his wife’s posting of the sad news that Denny Laine had passed away recently. He had been sick for a while. He was such an integral part of Wings and of course this album especially. I had seen him a year or so ago as part of a group of musicians including Joey Molland and Todd Rundgren performing songs from Rubber Soul and Revolver as well as their own hits. Denny also sang Band On The Run. RIP Denny and thanks for the music.

So for the 60th anniversary we'll get "Band on the Run- Redubed" where Paul will redub all the parts he overdubed back in the 70s? Of course by then he will be 91 so that should be a REAL treat... ;) Seriously, the underdub wasn't on the archive collection or any of the other anniversary versions because someone told him "Save it for a big one. Save it for the 50th". Either that or he worked out a deal with Henrys estate and Denny so it didn't cost so much in royalties... ;) The amount of stuff that will come flying out once Paul is gone is going to be STAGGERING.

Thanks for the update Tone, this also caught me by surprise! This LP is Wings' magnus opus in my opinion and the first LP I ever bought with my own earned money (from my paper route). Prior to this I had only bought singles. I am in for a copy of each version, after all gotta keep the collection fed! I do agree with the comment about the "underdubbed" tracks simply being the basic tracks, sans overdubs. I hope that theory is wrong and they are in actuality the BotR demos though. Somehow I doubt those will ever see the light of day, SO many bootlegs and official re-releases and not a peep from those sessions, so while they may not have been stolen, but maybe simply recorded over? Cheers matey!

Not really, but I will give them a listen on spotify.

I bought the 25th anniversary 2CD set many years ago and that also went with the American tracklisting and includes Helen Wheels between No Words and Picasso's Last Words.

Yes the 25th Anniversary did have Helen Wheels included like the US album but I believe that was a cd only release so I think this is the first time for the UK on vinyl. It gives another interesting spin on the listening experience for us here in the UK but always loved HW and I cant see how the album can be diminished by its inclusion. However totally get your reasons for giving this release the swerve Ian
@BeatlePete9108 ай бұрын
An educated guess would be that, if it were “the lost demos”, MPL would have definitely played up that narrative in this pre release. That would be the best way to get people to happily buy this album again. I’m expecting versions post Africa/pre EMI overdubs. Having said that, I like your theory much better. Going for the 1 LP and 2 CD sets. These Macca anniversary releases are one of the few new vinyl releases I look forward to. This album remains in the middle of the pack for me. A very unpopular opinion, I know. Without Helen Wheels, I tend to listen to the first 4 tracks, then bail. Helen Wheels is a favorite of mine, so I tend to hang in a bit longer when it’s included. Glad you’re accepting of having the US version become the standard release, at least for this iteration.

Your educated guess is the one we will be getting Pete. I mustn't let my wishful thinking cloud the facts. Not nearly as exciting but should still be an interesting listen.

R.l.P. Denny Laine . Paul was very smart to bring on Denny to Wings . Those early records with Wings I actually enjoy. RAM is still my Favorite but BOTR was probably Paul's best. Denny stuck by Paul's side. Without Denny BOTR never would have happened especially after the other two bailed. Happened again with LONDON TOWN. Denny was right there. I always liked Denny Laine . I'll probably go with 50th release of BOTR. Great record.

I’ve cut down on my vinyl purchases. Beatles as a group are the exception but for now even solo Beatles releases have been box set cd only. So I haven’t been getting the recent half speed masters. I have the archive sets for all of those except McCartney 1 which I missed out on and too expensive now. But because of the under dubs I’ll be getting the 2 cd set. I realize it may not sound as good as the vinyl so I’m not closing the door on that just yet completely. Hope you’re feeling better.

Thanks Tone, as you say, we all knew the half speed BOTR was imminent. Do I need a 10th copy of this album?? Probably yes, if only to keep the 50th anniversary series in tact - and because the “underdubbed” LP sounds interesting. My dilemma is that the 2 LP version doesn’t seem to maintain the 50th anniversary packaging with the coloured spine slip. So do I need to buy both versions? Or do I buy the 2 disc set of CD instead?? Yeah, I know, it’s a beyond first world problem, but these little things trigger my BCD (Beatles Collector Disorder) 😂
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel8 ай бұрын
BCD is a serious affliction that we all have Jason and from what I understand to get the obi strip version we need to buy the 1 LP version to keep everything nice and uniform with the other HSM - which is really annoying. I guess if you want save a few bucks but keep you HSM intact yet get all the music youre looking at the 1 Lp + the 2 CD version ...but then you miss out on the 2nd poster of Linda's polaroids ...can you cope with that?

Hi Tone, Trust that the arm is knitting together well. Slightly surprising news at this point, but perhaps not that much. The underdubbed version sounds interesting. Hopefully, if this is the Geoff Emerick tape, recently auctioned, it includes studio intros/longer versions etc. Like others, I don't think that this will be the pre-Lagos demos. In an ideal world would have liked a full album remix, the original demos, the underdubbed version and a physical surround mix. But we never get it all, do we? Have not been getting the half-speed remasters, so probably just the 2-CD version for me. That does sound reasonably priced. A three CD, 1 blu-ray in a clam-shell of the above would have been my ideal release at around £25 or so. They probably made the right decision not to revamp the Archive Edition. I think that there would have been heavy criticism when people have been waiting forever for the London Town and Back To The Egg sets. Can we have those next, please!
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel8 ай бұрын
Hi Dave, like the sound of your ideal world package but like you say, we never get exactly what we want. I never really expected anything other than the HSM so it's a bonus to get something extra.

Thanks for this update Tone. I will be buying the two CD set, and wait to see whether the price goes down on the Two LP set in the following few months. I think the demos may well be the ones recorded I believe at Abbey Rd Studios with Denny and Henry. But it'll be interesting to hear this "Underdubbed" version of this classic album. Don't know if this is true and treating this with a rather large pinch of salt, but someone messaged me today to inform me that they'd heard that after Rubber Soul that the Beatles Super Deluxe Box Sets would be coming to an end. Personally I don't think this is true, we have much more to come is what I believe, the only exception to my mind would be please, please me, which was recorded in a 10 hour stint at Abbey Rd, so I wouldn't have thought that there were many takes to make an album out of. I'm sure that in the fullness of time we will discover what is being planned for future releases, and we know how Apple like to keep us all waiting.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel8 ай бұрын
You're welcome Terry. On further investigation, I believe the Underdubbed album is taken from recordings made by Paul Denny and Linda when they returned from Lagos but before Tony Visconti did his orchestration so it seems these are not the demos with denny S and Henry sadly. I hope your info on the SDE is wrong . I wouldn't be surprised to see some combined box sets like say PMM and WTB as like you say, not many outtakes to pad them out for the own boxes. Lots hope Apple has a plan for once

It will be great if they do include demos and alternate takes of material with Henry McCullough and Denny Seiwell. With Band on the Run, you have one of the few times when the USA version with "Helen Wheels" may be better than the UK release.

On further investigation it seems that the Underdubbed album is taken from recordings Paul Linda and denny made when they returned from Lagos so it doesn't sound as if these are the ones with Henry and denny S unfortunately . however Dennis I agree, how can the album be diminished by adding a great track like Helen Wheels

Very excited for this. I figured for sure we were getting the half speed master, wasn’t seeing the 2-LP and especially the 2 CD sets coming. But this is a big and important album. My only complaint is I like how uniform the other four releases in this series have been. With the Obi-strip on each. If you get the 2 LP no Obi. So I went for one of each. 1 LP, 2 LP and 2 CD. Very glad they are doing a CD at all. Seems CD is really dying off.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel8 ай бұрын
Yes its odd about the obi but looks like to keep everything uniform we need the 1LP version too which is annoying I agree

Customers on Paul’s site can order up to 4 copies of each iteration. I ordered 4 double LP’s and 2 double CD’s. I have no idea if a CD can reflect the same quality sound as a half-speed master LP 😬, but they were inexpensive enough to get a couple. There are 2 solid reasons to be excited, the half speed LP, and the underdubbed (original Wings demos 🙏?) Hope all is well Tone.

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel thanks Tone. I haven’t purchased a CD in years because of Apple Music subscription was my main source of music, so I thought I’d give this a chance. Oh, my dad told me he believes the original BOTR album in 73 in the US did not have Helen Wheels, but he’s going to dig through his album room to double check. He said he remembers buying the single of Helen Wheels and thinking it was a good decision to leave it off the album (but he loved/loves the song). According to my 70 yr old dad, him and his friends liked the idea that Wings was putting out these “rocker” singles, starting with Hi hi hi through Girls School and Juniors farm, and Helen Wheels. He said singles were added to the albums with their first rerelease. 🤷♀️ I’ll let you know on twitter if he’s right or wrong. 😬

Don't want to seem like 'Debbie Downer', but the 50th anniversary of 'BOTR' is slightly, underwhelming.Compared say to the US 25th 3 CD Deluxe Set? But what is left in the vaults? Probably not much for this album.So typically instead of releasing unreleased material or even live songs from this album, they go with the 1/2 speed remastering, Dobly Atmos etc.. to please the "socks and sandals" brigade? This second disc, “Underdubbed” Mixes Edition, sounds a bit of a mystery. Hope it's not a repeat of the the version above. Great album all the same, and my favourite of Paul's Wings albums.I am remember at the time after watching "Helen Wheels" on T.O.T.P's and then discovering it wasn't on the album, feeling slightly disappointed. Add that into also not getting "Live and Let Die" which also debuted earlier that year .But the album as we all know became a classic nonetheless in my eyes, and many people's. Sadly now Denny has gone, only two remaining of the people that graced that famous front cover.Thanks for the music D.You will for sure be missed.

To be fair the 50th anniversary of all Pauls albums have all been celebrated with a HSM so wasnt really expecting anything more than that. The Underdubbed is a bonus I didnt see coming. There have been other iterations that have had live tracks , out takes b sides etc so wasnt really expecting an Archive mk II for this. the big miss is the original demos made with Wings Mk II before Henry and Denny S quit. The inclusion of that would have been perfect

Well I bought the archive and dont feel mugged because they are giving us 2 LPs that we haven't had before . A HSM of the US album and the Underdubbed album - what's not to love ? with all these things it's a question of how deep you want to go into an album and for most the regular album will be enough , for others it wont be. yes of course we all want LT and BTTE and there's no reason those wont happen next year. This release was fully expected as the 50th Anniversary HSM series has been going since 2020 although the Underdubbed is a bonus we wert expecting . Remember Beatles fans (and fans of any other band) come with different needs and we're not all mental
