That's a great photo of Paul looks alot like Paul Simon

If this is just a CD Greatest Hits Post Beatles compilation, the song selection doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. For one thing, there is way too much duplication. Many songs are included on Full Treatment/ Remastered CD's that have come out over the 3-4 years. I would think if Paul was going to come out with some sort of compilation he would do it by each decade. Within each decade, he could concentrate on tracks that have not been over saturated. As an example, he could do a 70's compilation something like this: Best Non-Hits from the 70's - album cuts, unreleased songs, B-sides Goodbye (Paul's demo) Suicide (Full version) The Mess (B-side) Give Ireland Back to the Irish Live and Let Die I Lie Around Tomorrow Some People Never Know Dear Friend Wildlife Mary Had a Little Lamb Get On the Right Thing Little Lamb Butterfly Single Pigeon Mama's Little Girl When the Night Little Woman Love Hi, Hi, Hi Londontown Don't Let It Get You Down Girls School Mull of Kintyre I'm Carrying Daytime Nighttime Suffering Goodnight tonight Arrow Through Me Getting closer To You So Glad to See You Here Old Siam Sir Winter Rose /Love Awake Assuming that we are not going to get Full treatment New Remastered albums of Londontown, Back to the Egg, Red Rose Speedway, Wildlife for a long time, a compilation of something like the above listing would really get me excited and I would buy it right away. I think I have listed 31 songs off the top of my head.

Well, Wine Dark Open Sea is there (from Off the Ground). But an extensive best of that covers the 80's, 90's and beyond but leaves off Hope of Deliverance, This One and My Brave Face is pretty weird. Nothing from Driving Rain either. I realise that it's probably not Paul's favourite album but he could have found room for just one song.

Well...this is all very weird. 1. Why that picture? Who identifies macca with a 'stache? 2. Why the glaring omissions of certain hits and over-attentiveness to certain albums with non-hits? For example... Where are songs like "Letting Go" and "Beware My Love"...if we're including s**t like "Girlfriend" from the 70's you'd think they'd be there first! : Where are "Tug of War" and "Take it Away"...oh, but thank goodness "Ebony and Ivory" made it! : Practically nothing from Flowers in the Dirt, Pipes of Peace, or Driving Rain BUT more than half of the Flaming Pie record is on this one compilation. And...the blatantly obvious plug for "New" with the abundance of tracks from that record too. Hopefully that tracklist isn't set in stone yet...

This is indeed a very odd release while in the middle of the archive series. I'd love to know if those Flaming Pie tracks are remastered and or remixed; perhaps a preview to next year's archive release? But 8 tracks?!

Not even a single new/unreleased song? Who's going to buy that contraption ?!
-
How about Hope of Deliverance?
-
I'll save the 29.99 for the 4 cd comp set and use that towards the FITD box set. I'm sure it's gonna be on the scale of RAM or WOA size wise.

Remember: Those songs were only in the teaser. Also, the singles may be an entirely separate disc, yet to be shared -- or teased, as it were. Flowers and other Tug Of War tracks could be represented there.

Although hard core fans (including me) could endlessly debate which tracks should and should not be included, I like the concept of the compilation and think it is a good idea for several reasons: 1) It spans his entire career. The last McCartney compilation (Wingspan) was released 15 years ago, and included no music beyond 1984, which means no song after his "top 10" era has ever been in a compilation. I still meet a maddening number of people who assume Paul has created no interesting music since the mid-80's, including people who attend his concerts! 2) The "hits" are well-represented. Though not every single is included, every U.S. #1 song is here as well as non-#1's such as Another Day and Live and Let Die. 3) The song sequence in NOT in chronological order (Or divided by hits vs. album tracks). That is, IF THE LIST THAT WAS POSTED IS THE TRACK LISTING (we don't know for sure yet). If so, my sense is this package is designed to showcase the fact that McCartney has continued to produce an outstanding and versatile body of work beyond his chart-topping years (some would argue the quality of much of his work has gone up). If the music was divided into eras or hits vs. album cuts, casual fans who pick this up might ignore discs that don't focus on the 70's. This sequencing allows listeners to experience outstanding or unusual tracks they might not have heard otherwise. All in all, I think this collection could help some reassess how they view Paul as a performer or songwriter. It does make me wonder, however, if this means he is planning to wrap up the "archive series" after one or two more releases.
