Members bill5 Posted September 15, 2018 Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 kind of. Of course the media plays its usual shameless, knuckle-dragging click bait game and tries so desperately to pump more "drama" into it than there really is with the "MF" titles: http://time.com/5392625/paul-mccartney-on-quincy-jones/ Props on Sir Paul taking the high road (as I'd expect) and Jones still looking like a nut case/schmuck (which at this point I also expect).

Moderators daddymack Posted September 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 16, 2018 your title is misleading. Macca did not return fire on Q, he basically shrugged it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 In other industry news, McCartney has the number one album on the charts with Egypt Station, which debuted at number one... a first for him in his post-Beatle career, and his first solo #1 album in 36 years... https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8475341/paul-mccartney-first-no-1-album-in-over-36-years-on-billboard-200-chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bill5 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2018 Wow Phil, hadn't heard.....any good? I'll have to check it out. Also from your link: "....launches with a larger-than-expected 153,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Sept. 13 according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 147,000 were in traditional album sales..." Surely that doesn't mean LPs-? Another interesting trivia note...The Beatles logged four No. 1 debuts, all with albums in the 1990s and 2000s: Anthology 1 (1995), Anthology 2 (1996) and Anthology 3 (1996) and 1 (2000).

Phil O'Keefe Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If you have Spotify, I'd recommend giving it a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bill5 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't...but I previewed the tunes on Amazon. Mixed feelings generally...his voice is shot though, hard to listen to, and a sad state of affairs. God knows he's entitled at his age, just a shame, IMO the greatest rock vocalist ever in his day.

You can't really expect him to be able to sing like he could when he was 30 anymore... but he can still write, and the guy really seems to live for music - especially live performance. I think it keeps him going, and more power to him. I hope I can still enjoy playing when I'm his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bill5 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nah don't expect him to sing like he did when was 30, but I'd hope he knows when his voice is gone and not to look the other way but adjust accordingly (e.g. increased stereo tricks to mask it or simply let someone else sing his songs). Ya gotta know when to say when. I can imagine the people in the studio exerting no small amount of will power by lying with "sounded great Paul!" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old post, but I somehow missed your question - sorry Bill. I suspect that's hard copies of any kind - LP's and CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
