Paul Mccartney does a vanishing act

It's not like he needs the money. Richest living musician, isn't he??
One of the funniest things about McCartney is what he said when he was first asked for his reaction the day after John Lennon was killed, he just said 'it's a drag...'

I'm not sure why, but could this have anything to do with talk of possible remasters of his solo and Wings work? Though I thought this wasn't due until 2012? |

As the other poster mentioned we know Paul's feelings went deeper than that! He really regretted what he said in the midst of panic and confusion. You only have to hear the song Here Today to know how deep his feelings went.

I'd imagine there's a contractual issue between him and EMI.

As well as the remasters it would be great to see some of his unreleased stuff out on a rarities box set.

Could be as well. I believe Paul left EMI a couple of years ago and is now signed with One Little Indian Records after a dalliance with the Starbucks label. If he is no longer signed to EMI this is probably where the problem lies with downloads at the moment.

Hmm if they are bringing a boxed set out maybe they'll bring the remasters out around the same time

As a few folk have already mentioned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Little_Indian_Records Quote:
In 2009, after a 45-year partnership with EMI, Paul McCartney has decided to end all ties with them and move his entire collection of solo material to One Little Indian Records, giving them the rights to repackage and rerelease some of his most prized records.
EMI no longer has this catalogue, so are no longer able to supply this catalogue to Itunes. It is currently "pending" (hmm ... wanted to think of a better word, but couldn't) with "One Little Indian" ...

Thats going to cause quite a loss for EMI I reckon and to a previous poster, McCartney had a great number of terrifc songs, sadly the worse ones seem to be the most popular.

One Little Indian is the best little label going. Paul McCartney spoils it for me
