Paul McCartney and Wings - 1971–73 Limited Edition Box Set |
We laughed at the Record Stores Day "limited" editions which are still available from online shops, years after the initial release!

However, latecomers to last year's release of the Christmas singles collection found that they had waited too long, at that it really had been a limited release.
Last Christmas you could buy this boxed set of Beatles Christmas singles. |
Wings Over Europe
Lately, we have found that the upcoming boxed set from Wings featuring both the DeLuxe Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway, plus a CD and assorted items to commemorate Wings' 1972 tour of Europe is largely unavailable, even at this pre-ordering stage.

However, currently it seems that it's sold out from three of these locations, the exception being the USA shop. Readers from Europe have informed us that they have been able to order from the US shop, as long as they select payment by Paypal.
However, the UK UDiscover Store has it as "First edition - sold out", indicating that perhaps a second edition will eventually be made available.
UPDATE: The US Paul McCartney Store now has the same status.

macca shop sold out first edition
There was no indication as to how many copies were available. Putting it out right around Christmas (when most people are buying for other people, not themselves) was not a move that's going to garner praise from fans. And according to Universal's reply to me, there are no plans for a 2nd pressing. This assures one thing for me- I will not be buying any future deluxe Macca releases. I'll do what I did for the Wings 71-73 box, which is to download it. I can live without the books. Sorry to have to do this, but the whole thing was unfair to his fans. On the upside, I will be saving a lot of money...
