Pure McCartney
Anyone bought this double retrospective CD? It's his first career spanning collection and is available as a 4-cd box set too but bit dear at £27.99. How can they justify 4 discs being that price when the 2cd is £9.99 on Amazon? Three times as much.
Hubby's getting the 2-disc from son for Father's Day. Mix of big hit singles and lesser known songs and album tracks. |

No.3 in this week's album charts.
I liked his song Waterfalls but that's only apparently on the 4 disc. |

I got the 2 disc version on day of release. Music spanning his whole career on there, some we'll know tracks and a lot of lesser known ones and a nice little accompanying booklet with details of tracks and what albums they come from.
Sadly, no Frog Chorus

All The Best, released in 1987, is a great compilation with just the hits and has the Frog Chorus on it. I think it's his best-selling album here, over a million.

I think the golden rule with any McCartney compilation is that he must have no say about what goes in it.

The Frog's Chorus appears on the deluxe edition. 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' isn't on either though.
However, for me the bad omission is 'C Moon,' which isn't on either the 2cd or the deluxe edition - the other side 'Hi Hi Hi' is on the deluxe though. I read that the original albums are in the process of being remastered and re-released and some of them have been already. I think I'll be waiting for the original releases of the other Wings albums. |

The Wingspan compilation, which was released in 2001 was pretty good in my opinion too. |

C Moon by Wings, not by Paul McCartney. |

I agree and think it needs to be re-released with the extra 3 tracks that were on the LP - 'Maybe I'm Amazed,' 'Goodnight Tonight' and 'With a Little Luck.'
