Like a lot of collectors around the world, we have been waiting patiently for Universal Music to sort out the delays and confusion around the supply and delivery of the recent Paul McCartney vinyl re-issues on coloured vinyl.
We ordered ours last year, weeks before the advertised shipping date – but it is only in the new year that they have finally arrived, and in two separate shipments. Ram clearly was in very short supply and it is pretty obvious that a pressing of more copies had to be hurriedly arranged. That LP came in a separate package a few following the main batch.
Having said all that, these look absolutely fantastic. Here are some images of the collection – the front “hype” stickers and record labels:
Meanwhile, the bundle is out of stock on Universal’s website and “Ram” and “Venus And Mars” are out of stock individually. Are they gone forever or do you think they’ll be back in stock?

Hi, I think those two titles were the two most popular and that Universal will be pressing more. Hard to say though. I’d keep an eye on the Universal site.

Beautiful! They look amazing. In your photos, Ram vinyl looks green to me, not yellow. How does it look on real life?

Yes, Ram is kind of a puke green – not yellow at all! From what I can tell on some of the discussion boards this is the case with all copies.
