@beatles4ever-1
100% Agree with on "Bip Bop" not belonging on the "Pure McCartney" Compilation. If they wanted to include something from "wildlife"..."Tomorrow" would have been a much better choice.
There were several more selections on Pure McCartney that were strange and wrong IMO.
They were:
Girlfriend (London Town) - Many better choices
We All Stand Together - Rupert and the Frog Song Soundtrack - Many better choices
Baby's Request (Back to the Egg) - Many better choices
Temporary Secretary (McCartney 2) - Again, Many better choices
Press (Press to Play) - Again, many better choices.There were a few other selections that were questionable to me like Dance Tonight, Big Barn Red, Flaming Pie (the Song) and Wine Dark Open Sea. Not that these tracks above are necessarily bad songs but when you're doing a "compilation" they're are so many better choices.
Thanks as always "Beatles4Ever"
PS Do you think that McCartney/MPL should release a New and Updated Compilation by the End of 2024?
BJ... again we disagree.... whilst also agreeing on many things!.... I love Girlfriend. Love it!.... I know that makes me in the minority. But I also love The Man. And Tug of Peace.... And I love Wine Dark Open Sea.... Dance Tonight, average. Flaming Pie, the song, average.... Oh, and I love My Baby's Request.... Well, as they say in the classics, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum.... All good!
Do you mean Tug of War or Pipes of Peace?
-
@njr Nance, the Tug of Peace... I'm probably the only person on the planet who loves it! A great song. And Through Our Love, which I still think is very underrated. But, I'm somewhat a fan of that album.... And Keep Under Cover.
-
@toris
Yes, "Through Our Love" is yet another terrific ballad NOT on the "Pure McCartney" Compilation. It should have been on my list immediately above. -
@b-j-conlee I have a special love for 80's Paul... Probably cos it was the same time I was buying all those Beatles' albums.... Geez, I spent all my money from my paper round on those terrific guys!... I'm probably also one of the few that like However Absurd.... a fave song from Banarama, I recall them saying in Smash Hits Magazine.... Underrated.... And I also like Move Over Busker and Angry.... The Pound is Sinking is awesome.

And I'm listening to Ebony and Ivory.... and I don't care what anyone says.... A GREAT song.
-
Tug of War is simply a wonderful song..... he should be pushing and pulling for that to be on his set list..... that's a song worthy of the Beatles.
-
@toris The Tug of war / Pipes of Peace as a double album would've worked a treat.
-
@toris
The Album "Tug of War" had the Best Beginning of an Album, didn't it. Those 1St 3 songs were phenomenal in my opinion:Tug of War (the song)
Take It Away
Somebody Who CaresWhat did those 3 songs have in common. None of them made it onto the "Pure McCartney" Compilation. That's another reason why Paul needs an "updated" Compilation over the next couple of years.
Like you, I still like to hear "Ebony and Ivory" on the Radio. It's another one of those Paul songs that critics love to hate. Yes, I always wished the Lyrics were a little better but nevertheless it's still a great song imo. Of course, Ebony and Ivory is on "Pure McCartney" since it was a major "Hit" but how do you exclude those 1st 3 songs on the Album. I think that "Somebody Who Cares" is one of Paul's Best Deep Cuts in his entire Catalog.
-
Ballroom Dancing?... Remains one of my favorites.
-
@toris Oh, absolutely!
-
Agree 100% on Ballroom Dancing (BD for short). Funny personal story about BD. In 1982 when my Daughter was about 1 year old, I played Tug of War constantly as she was learning to walk. Think about my little Daughter's Age. She had no idea who Paul McCartney was but you couldn't help dancing/shaking to some of the songs. Of course I was dancing too. For whatever reason, BD became her absolute favorite. It was the 1st song she ever "danced to". Now she's 42. I should have done a video of it but you have to remember it was Spring of 1982. It wasn't as easy as it is today. If I had anything to do with an updated and new Paul Compilation, Ballroom Dancing would definitely be one of the Tracks.

No, no, your troubles cease when you learn to play the pipes of peace....

@b-j-conlee
On my List of Paul's Post Beatles' Songs NOT on Paul's last compilation called "Pure McCartney" I forgot songs from Tug of War and Pipes of Peace. Here's additional songs from those 2 Albums NOT on 2016's Pure McCartney:Tug of War (The Song)
Take It Away
Somebody Who Cares
Ballroom Dancing
The Pound Is Sinking
Through Our Love
The Other Me
Keep Under Cover -
I'm going to try to "Wind Down" this Topic (New McCartney Compilation for 2024) here are my key points:
#1. One of our fellow Boardies posted that he didn't realize that Paul's last compilation "Pure McCartey" will be 8 Years Old in June 2024.2. As a consumer, if you bought Paul's last Compilation "Pure McCartney", I have listed many Paul Solo songs Not on that Compilation Package, a staggering number. In my opinion, a brand New 2024 Compilation (Including His Newest CDS Egypt Station and McCartney) could easily be a big CD package. On this thread, I am recommending a Standard Set (3 CDs) and a 4 CD Set for 2024 or even 2025.
#3. For Paul fans, we can't "repeat" the same mistake of 2016's Pure McCartney. On Paul's big Solo Hits and Universally Known Songs, Paul and his Team need to give a "Different Version" than the Studio Album version whenever possible. I have given those "Live Version Alternatives" on my Proposed New Compilation Package for either 2024 or even 2025 on this Thread.
For Paul's Legacy and for the loyal fans, this proposed New Compilation in 2024 or 2025 is very important. We can't end Paul's Post Beatles' Compilations with 2016's Pure McCartney. There are so many "Good to Great" Songs missing from "Pure McCartney". Thanks

@b-j-conlee
On my summary above, I meant to say that a future Compilation for 2024/2025 would be broken down into a Standard 3 CD Set/Edition and a Deluxe 4CD Edition. -
@b-j-conlee
On my Summary Post immediately about above, the most recent Paul CDs were Egypt Station and McCartney 3. -
