Just listened to a bunch of the McCartney III Imagined tracks that I hadn't heard previously.
Just listened once or twice, but here are my likes and dislikes so far:
LIkes
When Winter Comes (Anderson Paak Remix) - Surprised how much I liked this one
Seize the Day (Phoebe Bridgers) - Don't know much about Phoebe but I love her vocals on this cover)
Wonen and Wives (St. Vincent Remix) - Very trippy and psychedelic, but I liked this one on 1st listen
Lavortory Lil (Josh Homme) - Another one that surpised me; really liked this one with great guitars)
Slidin (EOB Remix) Heard this one over the last week and like Ed Obrien's faster version)
Dislikes
Deep Deep Feeling (RDN Remix) - let me warn Yankeefan; this 11 minuted jam mixes in a bit of Temporary Secretary in the groove. Didn't like it upon first listen but I'm sure some might.
Have to say that the Lavortory Lil song featuring Josh Homme is really good. Josh Homme to me soiunds like Jim Morrison and the track has that "Doors" feeling. AS good as Paul's original to my ears.

BJ, I think I will pass on even attempting to listen to this song. Adding bit of "Temporary Secretary" which I despise and making the song close to 3 minutes longer makes it a no brainer to ignore. I a sorry but I am not really into other artists doing "McCartney III" songs. Like I said several times, I prefer to listen to Paul McCartney sing and play his songs. To each their own. On a side note to you, see "Take It Away" thread and my most recent post to it. There will be episode for "McCartney III" in the near future - yeah !!

Some additonal comments:
Anderson Paak's version of "When Winter Comes"- LOve the piano intro. Sounds like Elton John playing the piano. They keep Paul'great vocals and I like this version a lot.
Khruangbin remix of Pretty Boys - Have to say the bass and drums are fantastic on this one along with its psychodelic flavors. Another potential gem

Thanks Yankeefan. Please keep us up to date when the "Take It Away Podcast" featuring their review of McCartney III airs. Would love to hear it!

Thanks so much Oobu. Still think that Josh Homme sounds like Jim Morrison and gives this track a "Doors" feel.
Do me a favor and if you have time...can you post a couple more IMagined tracks like:
Seize the Day with Phoebe Bridgers
When Winter Comes with Anderson Paak
Women and Wives with St. Vincent
I like all of these. There are some I'm not crazy about but these 3 are all good in my opinion.

I don't care for either verson of When Winter Comes. Sounds very dated to me.

Oobu thanks so much for posting all of this, really appreciated. My favorites so far are Kiss of Venus and Seize the Day. Haven’t listened to them all yet.
Can’t wait to hear them all, I just didn’t want to get signed out whilst I was listening!!! LOL
THANK YOU AGAIN

Well, having listened to the album a few times...
Really, only 3 of the 11 tracks are sung primarily by people other than Paul...
And they all do a great job, even if I'm still perplexed by the need for the album... Seize the Day is wonderful (sublime), but just affirms what a great song it was in the first place (the best on the McCartney 3 album). I like The Kiss of Venus.... and I agree, BJ... Lavatory Lil (whilst I think Joshua Homme sounds nothing like Jim Morrison) has a definite Doors-vibe. Most certainly.
Of the other "still-Paul" tracks, I'm loving Slidin', Feel the Way, and When Winter Comes.
Women and Wives sounds good. Deep Down is so, so much better cut to just over four minutes. I can now listen to it.
The other three songs just a waste of space - Pretty Boys does nothing for me, Long Tail Winter Bird a waste on an 11-track album... and Deep Deep Feeling goes from bad to worse.
The album proper would have benefitted from some of these alternate takes.... so too would have been the order of the track listing.
But at the end of the day, for me, the proper album is still three or four songs off being a great album. And on an 11-track album, that's a lot.

I think that sentence needed a comma after John Lennon.
And of course scatterbrained Paul thinks his mum died when he was about 10!

I have a question. In this remake of When Winter Comes, is it 2020 Paul singing? Or is this a different vocal take from 1992?

I think he used the original voice (1992) and then remixed over it.
