Hi Paul
Hope all is well. I wanted to mention that the Greatful Dead has just announced a 19 disc box set of 6 shows in the Pacific Northwest 1973-1974. Looks like a great set.

Paul, do you know if there will be stand alone releases of the Stones LP‘s?
Probably eventually… but not for a while, I wouldn’t have thought,
McCartney updated his social media pages with a rather interesting drawing yesterday…new album on the way? He also played a surprise gig in a Liverpool pub over the weekend and debuted a new track…
I look forward to a SDE TV unboxing video of the Stones’ box…
Can’t see too many getting to unbox that box set. Bloody expensive to give away….
“The Stones box set looks so awesome, I’d love it”
