      Paul's catalog is so rich, that he could have had a blockbuster "adult contemporary" album just made out of B-sides, bonus tracks, and unreleased tracks, I think. I tried to pick songs that were of a similar era, where the production quality (and the quality of Paul's voice) would mesh together well, with nothing too "rock" and light on the abstract lyrics. Would this have been #1 or what??

        PRESS TO RETURN TO PEPPERGROUND (since it's tracks from the sessions of Press to Play, Return to Pepperland, Off the Ground listed above ) a #1 for me 😉

          Smashing songs, except for "Down to the River" a little too bluesingly repetitious to my ears, and he sounds a little like a drunk Elvis. Plastered stoned Elvis Paul must have been tipsy when he recorded that song. Not familiar with "Your School."

            I put "Down To The River" in for a bit of variety. I considered "Same Time Next Year" and "Did We Meet Somewhere Before", but the former I thought was a bit too old and the latter has 1) those neighing horses, and 2) the same theme as "Twice In A Lifetime", which is newer. And "Yvonne", while a great track, well, she's not Linda, if you know what I mean!

              Another idea I had is to make an album out of those "half-orphaned" original songs that are stuck out in limbo on larger McCartney projects like his soundtracks, covers albums, and compilations. Maybe something like this: No More Lonely Nights Try Not To Cry My Valentine Back On My Feet What It Is Not Such A Bad Boy Run Devil Run No Values Once Upon A Long Ago [longest version] No More Lonely Nights [playout version] Only Our Hearts
