About
From paulmccartney.com, December 15th, 2016:
LONG AWAITED 10th INSTALMENT OF THE GRAMMY-WINNING ARCHIVE COLLECTION OUT MARCH 24 VIA MPL/Capitol/UMe
FORMATS TO INCLUDE 2CD SPECIAL EDITION, 2LP VINYL AND 3CD+DVD DELUXE EDITION BOX SET FEATURING PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED DEMOS, UNSEEN ARCHIVAL VIDEO, NOTEBOOK OF PAUL’S HANDWRITTEN LYRICS AND NOTES, LINDA McCARTNEY FLOWERS IN THE DIRT EXHIBITION CATALOGUE, 112-PAGE HARDCOVER BOOK DOCUMENTING THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM AND MORE
The long awaited 10th release in the multiple-Grammy Award-winning Paul McCartney Archive Collection has been confirmed: On March 24, 2017, Paul’s 1989 international #1 album, Flowers In The Dirt, will be the latest classic solo work from one of the world’s most revered catalogues to get the special treatment across a multi-format reissue released by MPL/Capitol/UMe.
The Paul McCartney Archive Collection release of Flowers In The Dirt was, as always, personally supervised by Paul himself.
One of the most critically acclaimed albums of the eighties, nominated for both BRIT and Grammy Awards, Flowers In The Dirt saw Paul team up with Elvis Costello to co-write a third of the album (‘My Brave Face’, ‘You Want Her Too’, ‘Don’t Be Careless Love’ and ‘That Day is Done’) as well as boasting production credits from producers such as Mitchell Froom, Trevor Horn, David Foster, Steve Lipson, Elvis Costello and Paul himself. Pink Floyd guitar legend David Gilmour makes an appearance on ‘We Got Married’ and George Martin’s string arrangement on ‘Put It There’ is amongst the many album highlights.
The Flowers In The Dirt Deluxe Edition Box Set will undoubtedly be yet another crown jewel in the collection of any Paul McCartney fan. In addition to its wealth of audio and video content, exclusive features of the Deluxe Edition include a 32-page notebook of Paul’s handwritten lyrics and notes, a catalogue for Linda McCartney’s 1989 Flowers In The Dirt photo exhibition, a 64 page photobook featuring the music videos for ‘This One’, and a stunning, custom-created 112-page book telling the complete story of the album through exclusive in-depth interviews with Paul, Elvis Costello and other key contributors. Along with expanded track-by-track information, the book contains album and single artwork as well as previously unpublished photographs by Linda McCartney.
Sessions for Flowers In The Dirt began in 1987 and the majority of the album was recorded at Paul’s Hog Hill Mill studio in East Sussex. During the sessions Costello convinced Paul to dig out his iconic Höfner bass for the first time in years — a suggestion McCartney recalls as, “unusual because I had sort of parked it. I had thought I had outgrown it. I started playing it again and never really looked back. It’s great that Elvis encouraged me to take it out.” In preparation for his first major world tour in years Paul was looking to capture songs he could take on the road with him. Paul told his band that he wouldn’t go out on tour unless he really liked the album. Looking back Paul recalls, “You’re always thinking, ‘Let’s get some new songs and take them on tour’ and you hope your new songs are going to work. Something like ‘My Brave Face’ would be a song that nobody knew at the start at the beginning of the tour and then everybody knew it at the end and it was the high spot of the whole tour.”
The original 13-track album was remastered for all the new configurations at Abbey Road Studios. The Deluxe Edition contains 18 bonus audio tracks across two discs, featuring previously unreleased demos, written and performed by Paul with Elvis Costello. Speaking about these tracks Paul said: “The demos are red hot off the skillet and that’s why we wanted to include them on this boxed set. What’s great about these songs is that they’ve just been written. So there’s nothing more hot off the skillet as I say. So that was the kind of great instant thing about them. I hadn’t listened to them in ages but when I did I knew we had to put them out. We made a little tape of them and sent them to Elvis, who loved them too. We said we should put out an EP or something and now the moment’s finally arrived.”
The Deluxe Edition also includes, as digital downloads only, three unheard cassette demos, ‘I Don’t Want To Confess’, ‘Shallow Grave’ and ‘Mistress And Maid’ as well as a collection of original B-sides, remixes and single edits.
The DVD that comes with the Deluxe Edition includes all the music videos from the album, three new short films with unseen archive material that show some of the creation process of the album and the documentary ‘Put It There’ originally released on VHS in 1989 – a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Flowers In The Dirt as well as featuring live performances from his 1989 World Tour.
The 2 CD Special Edition includes the remastered version of the album on the first disc. The second disc includes Paul and Elvis’s previously unreleased original demos.
The 2 LP Edition also comes with a digital download version. The first LP includes the remastered album but in keeping with the original vinyl release doesn’t include ‘Où Est Le Soleil?’ (this track will be available with the accompanying digital download). The second LP includes Paul and Elvis’s previously unreleased original demos.
Disc 4 was shamefully not available as a physical support. Those who purchased the Deluxe version were entitled to download those tracks. Scott Rodger, Paul McCartney’s manager, talked to Paul Sinclair from SuperDeluxeEdition, to discuss the matter. Below are fake Q&A created by Paul Sinclair about this conversation with Scott Rodger:
Why not include the ‘download-only’ content on a physical fourth CD in the Flowers in the Dirt box set?
The main reason why there is not a fourth physical CD is because Paul didn’t want any more than four discs in the set. What Paul says, ultimately goes. He wants to look to the future and embrace new technology and drive people to streaming. 100m people are signed up to streaming services right now and that is projected to double in the next three to four years. This is seen as the future. Paul’s team want to look to the future and their research shows that more people are excited about the streaming catalogue. If that wasn’t the case then many more box sets would be sold. […]
Doesn’t Paul realise that there’s some great music amongst those B-sides, remixes and cassette demos?
The physical discs in the deluxe set (Flowers in the Dirt remastered, Elvis Costello demos and band demos) are considered to be the crème de la crème. The other audio in the opinion of Paul and MPL is of interest, but not considered to be central to the narrative of the making of Flowers in the Dirt. […]
Will the 16-tracks being supplied as downloads be MP3, CD quality or high-resolution?
The additional tracks will be 16-bit standard WAVs since they were sourced from EQ’d CD production master Umatic tapes, which are limited to 16-bit 44.1 kHz. So they aren’t hi-res but neither are they MP3s. […]

It is confusing that you mention Disc 4 (Original B-sides, remixes and single edits) and the cassette demos here, as they were (regrettably; notoriously; shamefully) no part of the DeLuxe Archive Collection. Disc 4 only as digital release, the cassette demos only as Record Store Day cassette.
hi @gerbrand . I've added a sentence ("Disc 4 was shamefully not available as a physical support. Those who purchased the Deluxe version were entitled to download those tracks.") to avoid the misleading.
The cassette demos were also available as downloads, as stated in the press release. True that I could have added the Record Store Day cassette as well - added to my todo list !! Thanks
Thanks for a great website ! Thanks for the update to disc 4 (“physical release” maybe better than “physical support”). Feel free to delete my comments now you’ve made the changes.
It's been several years since I bought this pack, and in the meantime I've had to replace my laptop. I wanted to download the downloadable Disc 4 and 5 again, but unfortunately the link no longer works. How can this be solved?
@chris, pls contact the official paulmccartney.com website - I'm in the same situation as you : missed some downloads and can't get them anymore. Very frustrating. If more people are being vocal about it, maybe they'll do something about it.
I didn't start getting the deluxe archive editions until the last several months. I withheld for a long time because I think they were a bit stingy on product for the price. That being said, my Flowers in the Dirt download is not working as well. Very frustrating! Any suggestions are welcome.
@chris, this is the download problem solution : https://blog.naver.com/buddyholly1/223098863778
