As some might have noticed, Old Macca is releasing a new album ‘McCartney III’.
But the thing is he is going all out to get his record to Number One in the album charts and they way he’s doing it is a meistercunt at werk.
‘McCartney III’ has come out on on scores of different coloured vinyl (red, white, pink, you fucking name it) and also in many different coloured sleeves and he hasn’t stopped there either. Even the CD has been released in over five different covers and colours. Also, each CD apparently has a ‘unique’ and ‘secret’ track.
The CDs are colour-coded (white, red, blue, yellow) and each CD contains a unique ‘secret’ demo bonus track. Fans are encouraged to collect them all to ‘complete the series”. Needless to say, Beatles ‘completists’ and saddos will lap this shite up.
This will mean there are 10 different physical editions of McCartney III that will count towards the UK chart: the five vinyl mentioned above and now five CDs (the original CD and the four new ones).
Apparently Macca sneers at anyone in the music game who questions his work or how crap it is ‘When did you last have a Number One?’ He used to spit this at George Martin, Elvis Costello and other renowned producers and players. There was only John Lennon who he wouldn’t or couldn’t talk down to.
But it has been a long time since he himself has had a Number One (not counting Beatles reissues), so he is desperate to have one so he can keep saying it and bolster his ‘superiority’.
You’d think at his age and after all his success as both a Fab and a solo artist he wouldn’t be arsed. But it just shows what a cunt he is. I can’t imagine either John or George pushing 80 and giving a flying fuck if their records hit Number One or not. But this is Macca we are talking about.
But the funny bit is even with all these gimmicks and record whoring he might not even get the top spot. Taylor Swift has put a new one out, so it might be her. And Cliff Richard is also hovering near the Top Three, and he hasn’t had to put out loads of different versions to get there. I personally hope Old Cliff gets it and Macca has another fit about not getting his way, just like he did in 1970.
