Thought I would get some imput/opinions that I am hoping will be a future Paul McCartney Anthology By Decade. I do think that borrowing from Paul's Website, "Sticking Out of My Pocket" would be a good title. Hopefully a Career Spanning Anthology would cover all of Paul's era's, and wouldn't have so many duplications and gaps like Pure McCartney did. Paul has never stopped creating music (like Bob Dylan has said that!) so why shouldn't the true fans have a great Anthology.
Here is my tracklisting suggestions for the 70's Decade. I don't have access to all of Paul's secret vaults so I fully believe that we could have even more surprises that I'm suggesting. Since I'm thinking about a CD Package, I am using a basic quantitiy of about 20 songs for each decade. My list is generally in chronological order so I would leave it to the professionals to do the sequencing. Here is my 1st suggestion for the 70's disc:
70's Decade (Sticking Out of My Pocket)
1. Goodbye (Paul's Demo from the old Mary Hopkin hit that Paul wrote)
2. Maybe I'm Amazed (take the best live track from the faults; probably something that Paul did from the European Shows in 1979)
3. Every Night (Same thing as above...take the best live take from the 1979 shows)
4. Eat at Home (one of the best live takes from the University Shows in 1972)
5. Smile Away (one of the best live takes from the University Shows in 1972)
6. Best Friend (Live version)
7. The Mess (Live version)
8. Give Ireland Back to the Irish
9. I Lie Around
10. Single Pigeon
11. Little Lamb Dragonfly
12. Love in Song
13. Letting Go
14. London Town
15. Don't Let It Bring You Down
16. Waterspout (Outtake from the London Town Sessions)
17. I'm Carrying
18. Getting Closer
19. Arrow Through Me
20. Winter Rose/Love Awake
21. Mull of Kintyre (take the best live version that Paul did from one of the Canada Shows)
22. Tomorrow (wanted to get something in from Wild Life and it's one of the best songs on Wild Life)
As you can see, I stayed away from the hits for the most part or I would use alternate versions. As we fans know, Paul already has several compilations that have the hits/single versions already on them.
