      Off The Ground: The Complete Works CD 2 1) "Long Leather Coat" (McCartney/McCartney) 2) "Keep Coming Back to Love" (McCartney/Stuart) 3) "Sweet Sweet Memories" 4) "Things We Said Today" (Lennon?McCartney) 5) "Midnight Special" (Arranged by "Lead Belly" Ledbetter/Alan Lomax) 6) "Style Style" 7) "I Can't Imagine" 8 ) "Cosmically Conscious" 9) "Kicked Around No More" 10) "Big Boys Bickering" 11) "Down to the River" 12) "Soggy Noodle" After warming more to Off The Ground I decided to discover the other CD of The Complete Works, too. I have to say I'm really enjoying it. Style Style and Long Leather Coat are favourites. I can't understand why this wasn't released more widely. What do people think of this album? Favourite songs?

          Glad that you finally got it Frankie. It is a good one. One of my favorites which would work quite well in concert now. His voice could handle it. Down to the River

                I prefer the live versions, but -- indeed -- it is a great song. Great chords.

                  I love the album. It has its shortcomings -- all of which were annihilated by the release of The Complete Works, resulting in one of the best-ever collections of new Paul McCartney songs.

                      I couldn't afford to buy it, either. The songs are on YouTube.

                            Some really great songs on that cd. I especially like: "Long Leather Coat" "Sweet Sweet Memories" "Style Style" "I Can't Imagine" "Cosmically Conscious" Can't believe what it's selling for, however.

                                I never thought of it quite that way. I'd say "Heaven On A Sunday" or "Somebody Who Cares" are more in that league.

                                      I never knew of that off the ground. I had the original CD.

                                          I dislike much of the production sound on Off The Ground.

                                            "Winedark Open Sea" is shamefully under-appreciated. It's a masterpiece.
