[edit] Volume 2

I've been getting the DVDs one at a time from NetFilx, and my only grievance is that many videos I like couldn't fit. These yield for another volume. I've got a whole list:

Bip Bop/Hey Diddle
Band on the Run (as seen on The Tube [not YouTube])
Jet
Getting Closer
Old Siam, Sir
Arrow Through Me
Waterfalls (uncut at end)
No More Lonely Nights (dance version)
Stranglehold
Only Love Remains
Press (Abbey Road version)
Distractions
We Got Married
Put It There (version two)
Ou Est le Soleil?
Figure of Eight (version two)
This One (Dean Chamberlain version)-My biggest complaint of the DVD. I like this one better!
Get Back (live)
Biker Like an Icon (version two)
Young Boy
The World Tonight
Lonely Road
From a Lover to a Friend
Freedom
Your Loving Flame
Jenny Wren
Dance Tonight
Ever Present Past
Only Mama Knows

I suggested this to Paul on MySpace and I'll go to Rhino/Warner next (though he owns the rights). He'll need something new to promote by the time he does tour again (you all know why we're still waiting!). The new album won't be by then.

Also, I'd like to see a complete solo singles compilation and box set, featuring out-of-print and unreleased material, as he said while he doesn't mind bootlegs too much, he'd like to release them properly himself (the interview's on YouTube).

There are also some specials that only made it to VHS and TV, so I had to make my own DVD-Rs, but it's not quite the same.

This will be a big year for him (this facet anyway).Sposato (talk) 02:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
