^ That is an eclectic bunch of songs! Several I don’t even recall! (I know I have them since I have all his albums, even the “weird” ones!)

LOL Nancy... weird ones!!!
I don't have any weird ones on my list... I tried to be inclusive, and I'm appreciative of Paul's entire catalog!!! The Fireman type songs are many of my faves along with the Classical projects. Paul's scope musically is so much underrated in scope and puts him soooo far ahead of any other musician that I can think of. The depth and breath of his creativity makes him one of those artists that come around only every century or so. When you think of all the bits and pieces of songs he can add to, it boggles the mind, and then you add his artwork to the equation. WOW Very

I meant like Twin Freaks, Liverpool Sound Collage and the older Fireman ones. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

What a great album, love the Paul painting on the cover too! Thanks for posting the songs too, very dancy too.
They played Twin Freaks during the preshow at the Joint show in Vegas some years ago. It was really cool

Great list TommyC. This just reminds me that Paul needs a 5 CD Post Beatles' Anthology By Decade. To borrow from his own Website, it could be called "Sticking Out of My Back Pocket" (to borrow from his highly underrated deep cut from Tug of War, Ballroom Dancing). He has so many good to great relatively unknown songs that each Decade could contain many songs not even on his "officially released albums. Your examples like "Back on My Feet" and "Loveliest Thing" are the kind of songs that could be included in their respective decade. There are so many good songs from his album sessions that weren't included on the album. How about "Summer of 59", "This Loving Game" or "She is So Beautiful" from the Chaos sessions. How about "Style, Style", "Long Leather Coat" or "Keep Coming Back to Love" from the Off the Ground Sessions. You could also include great "unreleased songs" like Waterspout, Lindiana, I Can't Write Another Song, Yvonne, On the Wings of a Nighingale, Best Friend, The Mess etc etc.
This is the kind of Post Beatles/Solo Anthology" that Paul needs and the "real" Paul fans need. We need the "anti" Pure McCartney Compilation where the tracklisting was filled with so much duplication from other compilations. Pure McCarntey also had so many "gaps" so it didn't represent McCartney's full Post Beatles' Career. There would be so many songs that even strong Macca Solo fans don't have.
Come on Paul...get us a really good Anthology by Decade. Now that we are in the 2020's, we now have 5 Decades full of your unrecognized gems that need to be heard and bought.
