## Resource

Marv and I go back to 2010 - and actually a bit before, as we briefly sum up the 16-disc "Paul McCartney Collection". November of this year will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the debut of the McCartney Archive series. If we don't get another disc in the series by summer, it will be six years since the most recent one entered our lives. Marv and I consider the past, present and future of McCartney/Wings reissues, and contemplate a physical-media-less reissue future. #madeonzencastr.
