An impossible task Top 20 - no order afforded Subject to change The Voice: Rock Show So Glad to See You Here I've Had Enough Oh Woman Oh Why Call me Back Again Top Six: Coming Up My Love Band on the Run Silly Love Songs Goodnight Tonight Maybe I'm Amazed (my number one - the album version) Others: Beautiful Night Stranglehold (80's brass and all - always loved this one when it came out all those years ago) Tug of War Ballroom Dancing With a Little Luck Backseat of my Car Mull of Kintyre No More Lonely Nights (for nostalgia, and I almost prefer the jazzed up, harder version) The Pound is Sinking (a beautiful and underrated mix of styles, and that voice when he briefly lets rip) Too many other honourable mentions - I am certain I have missed many

Others: Stranglehold (80's brass and all - always loved this one when it came out all those years ago) The Pound is Sinking (a beautiful and underrated mix of styles, and that voice when he briefly lets rip)

The Mess is on Red Rose Speedway. http://www.bing.com/search?q=the+mess+paul+mccartney&qs=SC&pq=the+mess+pai&sc=2-12&sp=1&cvid=2CF7C2AFC9F961AD0191C475CDF96370&FORM=PRUSEN

actually, the live version of The Mess was originally released only as the B-side to the "My Love" single. I think it was included on one of the reissued Red Rose Speedway CDs, but it was not on the original album. and I don't think there was ever an officially released studio version, either. The Mess also shows up at the end of the James Paul McCartney tv special. it's one of my favorite Paul songs, too!!

Yeah, you're right. I was just going by what I saw on that link. The reissues were live versions. The single My Love/The Mess (which I have) is the only studio version, isn't it? Or is it live too?

Yes, the single b-side version is also live. I don't think there was ever a studio version released anywhere. Maybe it will show up when it's Red Rose Speedway's turn for a big box set reissue?

Hmmm... remarkably similar to what I'd pick, I think. Except I don't like Press, and not sure about The Other Me either.

I looked into it last night and yes it is on my Red Rose Speedway reissue. A live version. Great track.
