Paul McCartney Archive Collection Rip-Off

[Moonloop]

A Cautionary Tale.

Just a word of warning to anyone considering purchasing any of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection sets . I recently purchased a copy of 'Wings at the Speed of Sound ' boxset online only to find that the download page no longer works . I contacted the seller ( who did their best ) , Paul McCartney's webmaster ( no reply , no help ) and Universal Music ( worse than useless ) who informed me that as this was an 'old item' ( released in 2014 ) and they are no longer supporting it ( so stop selling them then ! ) they were unwilling to supply a new link or set of download files . 

So Im returning my WATSOS boxset for a refund and would strongly advise people to check before they buy as Universal Music are not honouring their own contents sheet as attached. Such a pity , as I already own 8 others in this series but that's it , no more for me . Paul McCartney deserves better , and so do we .

Very disappointing,

Don't understand the post. You received the set and it was defective? Or you ordered a download set and there's nothing to download?

I bought the Super Deluxe Edition . There's nothing wrong with the physical set ( 2xcds + 1Dvd) but the 24/96 downloads as listed on the attached contents sheet do not work and they will not furnish them . What is so difficult to understand ? They advertise it as including the downloads but if they consider it 'old' they think they are no longer obliged to do so . False advertising at the very least .

What was difficult to understand is that you didn’t actually explain that as the problem in your OP.

“  I recently purchased a copy of 'Wings at the Speed of Sound ' boxset online only to find that the download page no longer works “

 = No download.

 

Have a look at www.paulmccartney.com > Maccaboard  ; it’s littered with people who’ve had the same problem and nobody on the site or the record company gives a crap . The image I posted of the contents sheet clearly lists a 24/96 download which they are no longer providing. 

 

Shouldnt be tolerated .

I have experienced the same with movies on blu-ray with respect to digital downloads.
