From the liner notes:
“Who knew Ivan was a Czar???” I love that line even though Paul didn’t write it. Well, that song is here along with 43 other golden greats as it is now time to present the most recent McCartney album (2013’s New) as the latest edition in the Ultimate Archive series. As with most of these, this was a fun one to work on, though it was a bit frustrating as well in that no one out there seems to have lossless versions of Only One (vocal + instrumental) or All Day (clean + explicit). So there’s room for some upgrades if anyone wants to contribute to the cause.
This set had gone through a few different track listings before I settled on what is presented here. I wasn’t aware of the Queenie Eye spoken intros until about a week ago (thanks, as always, goes to Charlie for all his help in obtaining these goodies). Then I had to shoehorn them in somehow. So at one point this was going to have the 2013 version of Wonderful Christmastime instead of I’m In Love Again (which was going to be on Kisses On The Bottom). Adding the two spoken tracks forced me to shift things a bit due to space considerations, so don’t worry – you’ll be getting Wonderful Christmastime on Kisses (which will go nicely with the other Christmas song that will be there!)
Some other things, I’ve obtained lossless sources for ALL the mixes of Hope For The Future, including nice vinyl rips of the incredibly rare “Sweet Thrash” mixes from Record Store Day, so this is one convenient place to have them all. Meat Free Monday is only available as an mp3, which is what is presented here (albeit upsampled to FLAC). I’ve included all the audio from the various releases of the New album, so coupled with all the bonus tracks, this set gives you the most bang for the buck by far (especially considering the fact that it’s free! )
One other thing about the packaging – I’ve discovered that as with many other McCartney albums, there’s a slight difference on the cover art depending on which version you’re looking at. As I always try to use the LP art, the artwork here is what is used on the New LP. The CD issue swaps the red + blue fluorescent lights for reasons known only to Paul. Also, the disc labels copy the style of the LP labels. If it seems a bit drab, that’s why.
Anyhoo, I hope y’all dig this one for now…. Time to get cracking on the NEXT one!
