I knew I could count on you to answer, BJ! There are a few on your list (and TommyC’s) that I couldn’t sing a line of even if I had a gun to my head. Sorry! I’m just not well-versed on Paul’s solo career like you guys are. (as you can probably tell from my top 40 list!)
Sounds like there are quite a few McCartney albums that you don't have yet Nancy R. I suggest picking them up as soon as you can. It will be like discovering sex.

Sorry Nancy... I had to reply
I read your list and then this post...You are missing so many albums, ummm I was a bit shocked!!! You are really missing out on some GREAT music!!! I have to agree, you need to go right out and get a lot of Paul's albums. STAT The good news is that you will be very happy you did!
I'm putting my list together now... there will be many songs not even on regular albums...Fireman which is my very fave and Egypt Station, which is my newest fav.

I couldn't do it...just too hard to pick only 40.

I have every single album Paul has put out! (95% purchased when they came out-got Press To Play LP late and the oddball ones like Rushes and Twin Freaks I got in Liverpool in 2011) I have everything listed here except Pure McCartney. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney_discography
What I said was that I’m not well-versed on his solo career. Some of his solo albums I may have only listened to a few times when they came out. Now, Flaming Pie is a different story!

See my above answer to Tommy.
P.S. There are 3 Fireman albums (I have all 3. Need to relisten to Electric Arguments. The other 2 didn’t really do a thing for me.)

Makes sense you would have all the albums. I really liked Rushes too. Do you have things like Cold Cuts and Oobu Jubu? Just curious if you have Club Sandwich too? I am imagining a BeaTles room, chock a block filled with some amazing collectables!!! Probably some 16 magazines and BeaTles bubblegum cards too
WOW it is amazing that you did all that! Impressive

I don’t have Cold Cuts, but pretty sure I have Oobu Joobu (not Jubu) that Jennifer or someone burned for me. I do have The Beatles Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 1-7. I have so much stuff and I really need to catalog it all! Yes, I subscribed to 16 Magazine and have all the bubblegum cards, plus a full set of the ones that came out in 1996. Only have one Club Sandwich that Jennifer gave me. Coincidentally Leslie bought the same one (and another) at The Fest For Beatles Fans in Chicago! I have one large room filled with mostly Beatles + Elvis and Star Trek stuff. My Beatles books have overflowed into my exercise room (a bedroom) and I just put a Beatles quilt in the guest bedroom. My friend Jennifer has a 4 bedroom house, lives alone and has 3 rooms+ filled to the brim with Beatles memorabilia! And she is 12 years younger than me, born in 1967, so got a late start! My stuff is from 1964 to present.

^ I'd rather just hire someone to catalog it all for me! I am soooo far behind on my bootleg list.

That would cost a bundle!

But it would be nice to have it all sorted out.
edit to fix a lost letter (bad typing)...since the stupid spell check isn't automatically functional here. Hello? It's 2019...no automatic spellcheck?

The Beatles unsurpassed Masters!?! I don't have these. I'm trying to focus on the Deluxe sets right now, missed 2
during the self imposed hacker blackout. How are the Unsurpassed Masters? Want to get the Russian Masters which JL4761 says are the best...

Unsurpassed Masters are boots from awhile ago. The quality varies.

To answer your question, I’d have to relisten to them! My friend Jennifer just borrowed and burned 2 of the volumes she didn’t have.
The only deluxe set I didn’t get was Wings At The Speed Of Sound. But I won the 2-CD remastered set at a trivia contest on a Beatles cruise in 2015.

I have seen him in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. He played "Let Me Roll It" 6 times, "Let It Be" 5, "Live and Let Die" 4, "Let 'em In" 1, but no "Letting Go".
