- A Beatles “Rubber Soul” box set?
- A reissue of Denny Laine’s “Holly Days”, which was produced by Paul ?
- From Steve Hoffman Music Forums, October 15, 2023: In an interview for “MonkeeMania Radio”, Liz Hines (Denny Laine’s wife) says that Paul and Denny text quite often and recently were working on a reissue of Holly Days, with Denny making new cover art. It was put on hold when Denny became ill.
- From Steve Hoffman Music Forums, February 3, 2024: Liz Hines: “Last summer, Denny contacted Paul McCartney to discuss re-releasing his Buddy Holly album, Holly Days. Paul was all for it. He instructed his office to contact me to start the project, but everything came to a halt once Denny got ill in late July and my focus was on him 100%. Eventually, I’ll resume this, as it’s one of my promises I made to Denny.” And also she said: You can hear the remastered ‘It’s So Easy’ from Denny’s Holly Days album here: Celebrating Music’s Greatest Stars – Buddy Holly – Listen To Me – BBC Sounds
The following projects are likely dead, so the likelihood they will surface again in 2024, is low, but who knows?
