Thanks for spending the time & straining your voice for nearly 90 minutes to allow us to view this amazing piece in its entirety.

[@rotjrotk]

Andrew, i listened to the entire 70s output so far. A couple of thoughts... SOUND QUALITY IS TREMENDOUS! Also...if you want to share the beauty and magic of Macca post Beatles, this would be what I'd give them. Most of the songs are upbeat and easily accessible. Wonderful melodies, harmonies, bass lines and guitar/synth/piano/drum/horn sections. Most of this is cream of the crop Macca. It's AWESOME

Fun to watch the full unboxing and live vicariously through you for nearly 90 minutes.

Brilliant box set, Andrew. I love 7" Singles. The whole thing is incredible. No artist has accomplished the Singles like Paul McCartney. Not even Elvis can compare. Paul wrote, sung, and played and produced and orchestrated many of his own songs, Now a whole box set ! Test pressing too ! Play them, yes ! That gives you moments to enjoy. One of my all-time favorites is Another Day and Oh Woman, Oh Why. I have a Vikki Carr 45 from Sweden. Now you with McCartney ! I love Uncle Albert/Too Many People single mono. The amazing thing about that is the RAM mono mixed album I have which is the best mix in my opinion ! Love is Strange single, oh wow, Denny Seiwell's drumming is phenomenal on the Wings first album. To me, issues with records give you your own unique records. I see positive ! Give Ireland Back, wow !! You have so many unique items with stickers ! Well done, Andrew !! I have several of McCartney singles and I much appreciate this ! Hi, Hi, Hi such a wonderful Single and to think Billboard could chart at 100 ! Billboard should be hung for that ! I love the Israel cover because I remember that art from Red Rose Speedway..what an interesting idea ! Live and Let Die from Sweden ! Wow ! Band on the Run Singles, my favorite moments in listening pleasure, Paul's guitar licks, much like Revolver, nails it perfect. These Single releases is out of this world. No artist comes close to these amazing creations ! Paul's Helen Wheels was mocked with Linda's singing on music mags but Paul just kept on writing songs.. Now Look !! Paul is Champion for music, right ? Absolute stunning records ! Thank you so much !!!

Andrew, I ordered my crate as soon as I saw your announcement video, so I have you to thank that I was able to get one at the original selling price. Mine is number 174, for what it's worth. For the songs that have never been released on 7-inch vinyl before, I think that they should have made an effort to make the labels interesting. The plain coloured circles are not much better than the test pressing disc.

[@peterx1957]

Hey Andrew great unboxing video. A bit of geeky trivia regarding the Aussie "Listen To What The Man Said" 45. The normal prefix for Australian Capitol 45's was 'CP' but even though the label reads 'Capitol', the catalogue number 'A' prefix was actually used for the Aussie Parlophone & Apple singles. Around this time the Beatles EMI contract was expiring. While Paul re-signed with EMI, from memory, he apparently requested the use of 'old style' Capitol logos on his Wings releases however they retained the Parlophone prefix numbering (at least here in Australia). Interesting bittersweet story about "Rainclouds" which I wasn't aware of till now. Thanks. Love the set but out of my reach unfortunately. Cheers mate 👍😊

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks for that info Peter, wasn't aware of all that!

[@peterx1957]

@@AndrewDixonMusic one other thing is "Party Party" was the one-sided single included with the "Flowers In The Dirt" Tour Pack LP. Also have you thought about getting plastic inner sleeves for these singles? Might be worth considering. A quibble - Given the high cost of the set, It's disappointing (a) the booklet wasn't hardcover & (b) the 45's weren't supplied with protective inner sleeves here unlike the most recent Beatles Singles Boxed set (same with the Paperback Writer EP in the Revolver box). You've had a couple of mishaps with records sliding out of their sleeves which inners could've prevented. Cheers mate.

[@juliahartley-barnes975]

Andrew, do you plan to let MPL know about the issues you have with your box? That messed up label would drive me nuts! Also, 2 copies of “Old Siam Sir”? It’s not even one of best songs and they included it twice? I was staring at the boxset on Paul McCartney’s store but just couldn’t press the button to buy it. Considering I would be going over to the turntable every 5-6 minutes I guess I’m too lazy. Also, I have Apple Music and they put the boxset up in lossless mode it’s wonderful, especially the Mono version of Uncle Albert, that intro gives me goosebumps. More importantly, I downloaded the files for offload playback so it’s much more convenient. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful box, and with 3000 boxes for 8 billion people, it’s a good investment and a piece of history. Still, $611USD for me, I just couldn’t do it. Will you be doing an actual “review” of it, not just a nice show n tell? I’d be very interested in hearing how you feel about it a couple weeks in, and how they sound in your system, etc. ✌🏻 #RememberDecemberEight ❤

[@bearmanz]

Hi Andrew. The sticker on "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" label, shouldn't be there. It's another anomoly, one of many reported. My set had three, all label related. I wrote UMG Universal, London. You can also go on Paul McCartney's store site to make contact. If you provide your order number, address, phone number and photos of the damage, they'll eventually replace the afflicted records. It took a month, but they replaced the three anomolies in my collection with perfect copies. It became obvious, there were multiple quality control issues, with the number of folks reporting them. All my best. It's worth the effort.

[@sergefrancoeur9072]

Hi, i also got the helen weels test pressing, and my box set had the number 1975.

[@comicsrcool5483]

I was thinking about this the other day Andrew. Paul left quite a bit of money on the table with this one. Yes we have quite a few "Greatest Hits" cds out there, but what McCartney fan WOULD NOT have purchased these singles compiled together on however many CDs it would take to hold all 80 singles?! Every one of his singles, in order?! INCLUDING the B Sides?!? That would have been a massive seller for those of us who cannot afford this box. I bet there will be a "Paul McCartney, The Singles" box set at some point, but that would still be 80 CDs with two songs per CD. I hope at some point he DOES put out "McCartney - All the Singles" compiled on a few CDs as a GHs....He could even label it Vol 1 as I am sure there will be more singles to come....

[@machiel5888]

It’s not every one of his singles. Only 80 of them.

[@jamesboyce4000]

There's the option of this in hi res 24/96 downloads for around £125.00 which I purchased and it sounds great overall. Much easier to play all these in hi res as no off and on the turntable. :)

Just watched this video in full and it has been a pleasure to watch as always! Another great video and I am still waiting for mine as I had a delay email. I am also so glad 'I want to come home' is in this box as I think it is a later career masterpiece of his. Cheers!

My set had one disc with the slug still stuck to the record. Came off easily enough. One sleeve had minor damage. One label shows a phantom label as well, same record. "Beautiful Night" has the same label on both sides, but fortunately the vinyl is stamped A on one side. One single has a minor scratch. Haven't played anything yet. Devouring the book next. Still, quite pleased with the set.

[@strathman7501]

'The World You're Coming Into' is a beautiful and moving piece from the Liverpool Oratorio. I hope you don't dismiss it, and do give it another listen. The B-side, 'Tres conejos en un arbol tocando el tambor' is good fun, inspired by Paul's Spanish teacher at the Institute. It translates as 'three rabbits in a tree playing a drum'.

[@videoplusdvd]

Several years ago, there was an “unoffical” McCartney singles collection that covered all Mccartney singles (and 12” versions) covering the start of his solo era through the “Off The Ground” period, which (as a result) contained 12” inch exclusives (like “Russia” tracks and multiple period remixes) and the original full length live version of “Coming Up” (with the full count-in and “Paul McCartney” chant at the end). The new set is also available digitally if you haven't got the deep pockets for vinyl. Itunes format from $80 CDN, and 24/96 uncompressed from HDTracks (not available in Canada though).

I checked the box-makers site, they do lots of designs and customise. The idea was to get a box similar to that one without infringing copyright....which you could do, but even empty their boxes cost more than I had in mind. They're not Steptoe & Sons, alas. I remember 'Helen Wheels' being hard to find around 1979, & omitted from WIngs Greatest Hits. Took 2 or 3 years to get that single back when I collected - - don;t know why it was rare around all the 2nd hand M/C record shops I hit most weeks. Might even have been a U.S. copy, can't remember.

Thank you Andrew, I always enjoy your videos. I was wondering. Will you or do you clean these 7" singles before playing?

Also, what was the original cost of this 7" box set?

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Hi, I usually only clean discs if they sound/look like they need it, not enough hours in the day to just do them all! I think this box was just over £600. I felt I could justify it to myself seeing as I had almost none of them on vinyl already.

I just wanted to mention my copy of Mary Had A Little Lamb I bought in 1972 is an Australian Pressing based on the UK pressing with the same cover and label as in your box set and on the flip side the label shows Little Woman Love. Hope this helps. Cheers!

[@philross1680]

Just one more thing my Australian pressing of Hi Hi Hi is an Apple record on a plain red label.

[@philross1680]

I also have the same Capitol copy of Listen To What the Man Said with the same cover. (Sorry I just can’t help my self when I see these things 😁.

Thanks for confirming! 👍

Finally got my box , I received # 2170 with Helen Wheels / Country Dreamer

I agree with For Your Eyes Only as Moore's best. And of course The Spy Who Loved Me as a close second :)

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Absolutely 👍

Hi Andrew , brilliant video of the unboxing of this 7inch singles box set of Paul McCartney , but I’m disappointed , I would have liked a box set of his entire U.K. singles & not including releases from other parts of the world which this does. But I think it was released too soon after the revolver deluxe vinyl & Deluxe Cd Editions & single vinyl & 2 Cd editions etc . They also gave little warning of its imminent release I can’t remember how much warning they gave , but if they chose to release it sometime in 2023 , then I think i would have been able to buy it , but I have listened to it on Spotify anyway happy playing Andrew , I hope you have a very happy Christmas & a happy new year , roll on 2023 for new Beatles related releases

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks John, if I remember rightly the timeline was something like Sunday I got wind that something was happening, Wednesday I found out what it was, Thursday it was announced and Friday it was sold out! Really quick turnaround in this set. Have a great Christmas 🙂👍

[@BeatleJohn813]

@@AndrewDixonMusic now you mentioned the timeline , it does ring a bell with me , I’m just disappointed I have not got it as I have all his original Albums. Minus the classical & the firman , I’m very much looking forward to another Archive release , London Town & Back to the Egg , I think I will have to save up and get a mint condition 7inch Paul McCartney box set on eBay. , but be very careful at the same time . Cheers Andrew , really enjoyed your Broadcast this year & every other year since I subscribed , never looked back on your broadcasts , very interesting & very helpful information , keep up the great work 👍😀

I can't find my Mary Had A Little Lamb 45 but on my database it shows "Little Woman Love". I can see me commenting further! 😁

[@presstoplay2314]

When you dropped Jet, my heart dropped along with it! LOL!! Don't feel bad... When I put the foam back in, I put it horizontally, not vertically (as it was originally placed). It was VERY difficult to get out and I had to push the singles forward to get a good grip. I was freaking out! Luckily, I got it out without any damage (that I could see!). I'm a bit neurotic when it comes to this stuff... I have issues. LOL I'll check Take It Away and Give Ireland Back to the Irish. I went through the singles, but I've only taken a few of the records out. I'll go through it tomorrow to see if I have any major issues. Now I'm a bit nervous. Thanks for this. Great video. Have you played any yet? What's the sound quality like?

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

I'm playing them in order, out up to Venus and Mars era so far. Sound quality generalyveey good except Give Ireland Back... Both sides were poor, I don't remember that being an issue in my digital versions.

[@presstoplay2314]

Enjoy!! I’m going to play them next weekend. An awesome set.. No major issues with my set.. The sleeve for Woman and Wives had some minor damage, but that’s about it. Sounds like every set had some minor quality issues. Still very happy though. Keep well. Love your videos.

Swedish translation is: Title song from new James Bond film (with Roger Moore) "Live and Let Die". ;-)

[@damienmckinnom8456]

Thanks Andrew , Damien from Australia. Brings back wonderful memories. You have a real passion for Wing's as l do. Your great to watch and thankyou cheers.

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks Damien! 🙂👍

[@thomasanderson3230]

Once again, excellent Andrew thank you! lovely set indeed!......(looks like the nasty sticker should peel off)

[@Tyjbob69]

I didn’t have a single error on any of my covers or 45 records😊

[@pianoman6878]

Andrew, having downloaded the now available for first time to stream Only Love Remains 7" version which of course is different from the album version, it is actually different from the version I have on my 7" single I bought at the time suggesting is a remix which is not stated.

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

That sounds like poor attention to detail by the makers.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Hi Andrew, so a few things. Firstly, that sticker on Give Ireland Back to the Irish is rogue - mine doesn't have it. I have an original Mary Had A little Lamb single and the little on that is correctly spelt Little Woman Love, so Women in this set is a misprint (same on mine). C Moon you said the split apple looked sparse, I think that's because the song title and Wings is not printed on the apple like they usually are (mine is the same) - Im sure that must be an error - looks really weird. I tried to find a photo of the original single but could only find pics of the green apple side. Next thing, did you notice the name of the band on the Israeli My love 'McCartney's Wings ' - never seen that before. Finally (for now) I Lie Around on the back of Live and let let Die, the title and band are out of alignment and off to the side (same on mine) - surely that's an error too. That's all for now.

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks Tone, I didn't notice the band credit I'll go back and look at that!

[@ulflidestam7164]

English translation for the Swedish "Live and Let Die" single: "The leitmotif from the Live and Let Die film". You're most welcome, Andrew! :)

Thanks Ulf!
