Regarding the unreleased songs. The choices here are based on unreleased songs that have leaked out on bootleg over the years.
However there are many more that we know exist in terms of sing titles, or ones that have been mentioned in interviews that we don't know the titles off. And in Paul's archive will be many many more that we know nothing about. For example when winter comes had never been heard of until mccartney 3
Pipes of peace. I was 10 when it came out. I was a paul fan before I became a Beatles fan
Pity Hulu is an American only subscription service. Great for our friends in the US not so good for everyone else.
Heres hoping they turn up on YouTube or some other streaming place
I saw that twitter post yesterday. I was hoping it was going to be a deluxe edition of the rushes album. Oh well!
I wasn't going to bother as I tend to hate cover versions. Although the foobfighters cover version of band on the run is superb. But I noticed some of the tracks are described as remixes and I do like remixes of Paul's songs. So I have bit the bullet and ordered a copy.
New book from Paul

More often than I can count, I've been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I've always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I've learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.'
In this extraordinary book, with unparalleled candour, Paul McCartney recounts his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career - from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. Arranged alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs' lyrics for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he thinks of them now. Presented with this is a treasure trove of material from McCartney's personal archive - drafts, letters, photographs - never seen before, which make this also a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
We learn intimately about the man, the creative process, the working out of melodies, the moments of inspiration. The voice and personality of Paul McCartney sings off every page. There has never been a book about a great musician like it
In an interview with the TV Times magazine back in the mid 80s paul claimed to have 2000 unreleased songs. In one of the new interviews about mccartney 3 paul said he wrote on average one song a week. So we can only begin to imagine how many unreleased songs there are.
Some have leaked out onto bootleg and we have heard them. Others we know the names of. Others we know exist but don't know the name of them. Then there are the majority that we know nothing about.

Here is a fascinating interview about the making of McCartney iii with Paul's Engineer Steve Orchard and technical manager, Keith Smith. Lots of technical information about Paul's studio and his instruments and how he works.
Was gutted to find out about Ryan's passing from your post. I had messaged him a few times to point out minor errors and to make suggestions about up coming shows. He was always quick to reply back to me with great humour.
If anyone here has not listened to these podcasts, you really need to they are great. Very informative interesting insightful funny and a lot of fun.
Very sad that we will not get to hear Ryan's thoughts on Paul's new Album.
