Just saw this on Warner's release schedule for November 13th (R2 285628).

Don't know how many discs it is. And the artist is listed as Paul McCartney, so it doesn't look like a tribute album.

Anything to add, Linda, or anyone else?

This is bizarre.

I think this might be the DVD referenced in this article.

Bingo! I think you're right. While I'm sure this deluxe DVD set of Paul's videos, etc. will undoubtedly be nice, the brief thought of a Beatle's catalog being handled by Rhino is enough to make me salivate! Paul owns his masters; maybe if he licensed them to Rhino, we'd finally get definitive reissues with liner notes, bonus tracks & all those kinds of goodies...pipe dreaming, I know!

Gonna move this to our Video board ...

So is this going to be all of "Rockshow" or only portions? Anyone know?

Unfortunately, it looks like only some songs from Rock Show/Wings Over The World will be on this.

New McCartney DVD Set for Release 'THE McCARTNEY YEARS'
Features Exclusive Commentary, Behind the Scenes Footage, Over 40 Music Videos and Two Hours of Historic Live Performances; 'THE McCARTNEY YEARS' Is Set for Release November 13th, 2007

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - August 23, 2007) - On November 13th, 2007, 'THE McCARTNEY YEARS' will hit the stores from MPL/Rhino Entertainment. This first time ever DVD includes the definitive visual collection of Paul McCartney's amazing career featuring solo music videos, career-spanning live performances, personal commentary by Paul McCartney and exclusive footage that tracks his incredible musical journey as never before.

Spanning four decades, 'THE McCARTNEY YEARS' is a three volume DVD collection, featuring some of the world's best-loved music that has become the soundtrack to all our lives.

VOLUME ONE and VOLUME TWO contain the definitive collection of McCartney music videos. Starting in the 1970s with Paul McCartney's first solo single "Maybe I'm Amazed," the DVD includes the Wings promo video for "Band On The Run" as well as hits from the 1980s such as "Say Say Say," and the 1990s with "The World Tonight." It finishes with 2005's "Fine Line." The films can be viewed either in chronological order or as play-lists that have been personally arranged by Paul featuring his exclusive voiceover commentaries.

VOLUME THREE includes live performances taken from three classic McCartney live shows; "ROCKSHOW" filmed on Wings' 1976 World Tour, new edits of Paul's seminal "UNPLUGGED" in 1991 and Paul's now legendary headlining performance at 2004's GLASTONBURY Festival.

'THE McCARTNEY YEARS' is also packed with bonus features and extra never before seen footage and performances, including "Let It Be" from LIVE AID, archive interviews with Melvyn Bragg and Michael Parkinson, alternative versions of music videos and the full-length 2005 documentary "Creating Chaos at Abbey Road." Paul has recorded exclusive commentary and personal introductions for each promo video and each live concert.

This collection has been meticulously restored and all films polished, re-graded and given a new lease on life in Widescreen format with re-mastered stereo audio and for the first time the original recordings re-mixed into 5.1 surround sound. 'THE McCARTNEY YEARS' includes over 40 promo videos and over two hours of live performances.

This puppy better be priced right. It looks awsome.

Can anyone see if anything is missing that should be here?

Good that they are releasing all his videos but...

Only giving us chunks of Rockshow, Unplugged etc on DVD is just plain dumb. I would particularly like to see the full Rockshow released on DVD.

Also I would have preferred to see the videos arranged chronologically.

"The films can be viewed either in chronological order or as play-lists that have been personally arranged by Paul featuring his exclusive voiceover commentaries."

Me Bad. I had read that earlier and forgotten it.

I agree Andrew...Rockshow and Unplugged should have been released in their entirety.

Mark

I wouldn't exactly call this a "definitive" video collection as one source described. Where are the great videos from "Back To The Egg" such as "Getting Closer", "Arrow Right Through Me" or even "Spin It On".

...But we do get "Biker Like An Icon"!

Well, you know, they gotta leave something for Vol. 2...

Not to mention Volume 3... and Volume 4...

Here 'tis ...



It's rather incredible to ponder the fact that with the release of [title]The McCartney Years[/title] in late 2007, Paul McCartney has now been making recordings in various mediums for the better part of 40 years--and that's not even including the decade he spent as a member of the world's greatest band. And while some may quibble about certain details of the content and presentation, this three-disc set, packed with videos, concert footage, interviews, documentaries, and more, will surely satisfy the vast majority of Sir Paul's loyal subjects. The dozens of videos, occupying the first two discs and spanning the years from 1970 ("Maybe I'm Amazed," ten years before the emergence of MTV) to 2005 ("Fine Line"), can be viewed in either chronological order or as programmed by Macca himself. Ranging from straight lip-synced performances to various conceptual films, they are a decidedly mixed bag. In some cases (e.g. "London Town"), the songs are superior to the clips, while in others, the reverse is true ("Coming Up," a lightweight tune but a delightful video in which McCartney portrays everyone from Buddy Holly to Sparks keyboardist Ron Mael). Sometimes both the song and the video are terrific ("Take it Away" features Ringo Starr on drums, producer George Martin on piano, and a cameo by actor John Hurt; "Band on the Run," a creative pastiche of photos, film effects, and other media, suggests that the band in question was the Beatles, not Wings), while some fail on both counts (John Lennon might have had the likes of "C-Moon" in mind when he referred to McCartney's '70s output as "all pizza and fairytales"). Of the three concerts included on Volume Three, the best (and shortest) comes from a 1991 Unplugged show and features lovely versions of "Every Night" and "And I Love Her"; Rockshow spotlights Wings on tour in '76, and the 2004 gig in Glastonbury, England features McCartney's excellent current band (a good show, but the playlist isn't nearly as adventurous as, say, 2005's Live in Red Square). Extras include McCartney's commentary on several of the videos; footage from Live Aid in '85 and the Super Bowl in '02; and, accompanying every DVD menu, various raw and unreleased live and studio performances of obscurities like "Blackpool." The late Linda McCartney is featured throughout, of course, and if The McCartney Years is a de facto tribute to his first wife, as one reviewer has suggested, it's a more than fitting one.

What is that image?...an eyeball with a Vulcan eyebrow?

Looks like Alan Parsons' "Eye in the Sky".

If he gave us ALL of "Rockshow" he'd have to share the spotlight Danny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch etc

One video I "think" is missing,(because my memory is almost full) but I remember seeing way back.."Girls School" fantastic b-side to Mull.

As I recall Mull of Kintyre / Girlschool was a double A side.

There was some doubt that the Scottish Waltz would sell. (In Britain it became the biggest selling single in history till Band Aid.)

Not sure if Mull of Kintyre had much impact outside of Britain though?

If you're for an extra Paul McCartney video not included on "The McCartney Years", there's a Flip Wilson DVD that include a video performance of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" from the first incarnation of Wings. This is from 1972. Here's a link to CD Universe where the DVD can be ordered; http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.a ... m=lk_imwan
