Unpopular opinion but Flowers in the dirt is right up there in Paul's top 5 albums for me
I agree. Flowers in the Dirt is a great album. To me it's his best album of the 1980's.
Same
@@TheSchemel Even better than Tug of War ?
@@jamesleung8679 yes sir. Tug of War is a well produced album, but I personally don't think it is all that great. That being said, I think Wonderlust is a beautiful song. There are tracks on the album that I like, but not enough to listen to them on a regular basis. I bought the album the day it was released, and Rolling Stone Magazine had already given it a 5 star rating, so I was expecting a masterpiece. It's far from being a masterpiece. I think Flowers in the Dirt is a far superior album, and I do play it often.
@@TheSchemel I love Flowers for the Elvis Costello collaborations - i wish they made a proper collaboration album together
The Beatles In Mono boxset staring us in the face in all your videos is unbearable! I want it so bad haha. Another great video!
I got VERY lucky with that. Got pretty much the last copy Amazon Prime had in the UK before they ran out of stock and the prices shot up.
Thanks for taking the time to share your collection. I enjoy the variety of cd singles... certainly on the hunt for a few of them.
I finally got a chance to sit down and enjoy this video. I enjoy hearing personal stories that go along with the changing formats and music itself. Hearing about you playing WatSoS while playing Super Mario World on Super Nintendo bought back some fond memories! I hope you’ll consider doing one of you vinyl collection.
Thanks Andrew for an informative ,interesting and timely video on your Mccartney CD collection. Great ideas for updating my McCartney CD collection.
What about John George Ringo and The Beatles or maybe your entire Beatles collection (Vinyls Cds dvds/films and the books ect?)
All the best my first McCartney album too. Wore it out! Great video again and what a collection. 👍
That is an amazing collection! Thanks for the video! I am a big fan of Back to the Egg and hope they come out with an archive edition. It's a fascinating time in Paul's career.
Plus the video album
Thanks Andrew . Really enjoyed viewing along with your personal review of each album/single.
Excellent video, time flew by watching this
Really enjoyed this one Andrew , keep up the great work 👍
Hi Andrew, very nice to see that we have almost the same collection, very nice presentation, thanks so much!!
I am halfway through your video and will finish it tomorrow. I took out all of my Paul CDs and have been going along with you while I look at my CD booklets and the CDs themselves. I have many Paul CD's too (38 not counting the Archive series). This is a fun video!
A level of interactivity with my video that I hadn't predicted! 🙂👍
@@AndrewDixonMusic I said that I was going to watch the second half today, but I was so curious to see what you had that I watched all of it yesterday. Fun! I picked out 3 Macca CDs to listen to today.
This may be your longest video yet, not counting the live streams that is.
Also probably is the biggest part of your collection. Looking forward to this one!
By far the longest I've done! 👍
Ooooh, I've just sat down with my cuppa! Looking forward to this!
Lolo.... I'v just made my sewing plans around this for tonight , looking forward to this . ( Australia )
Very enjoyable video Andrew. My first McCartney live experience was also in January 1990, NEC. So, like you, I have very fond memories of Flowers in the Dirt. And, being cool is over-rated 😉.
Thanks Andrew. I’m feeling your pain - I also thought my earlier CDs were rendered unnecessary by the archive additions and gave a number of them away. I now regret doing that.
These days I’m more interested in filling the gaps in my vinyl collection from the 90’s and 00’s when, in Australia at least, it was CD or nothing.
very nice andrew good to see your videos
Finally! Someone else who loves Memory Almost Full!
It's a great album! 👍
Hello Mr Dixon
I just finished listening to this whole video and there is only one word to describe your collection
Amazing😂
Thank you! 🙂👍
Very excited!
Hi Andrew I’ve bought my first Paul CDs flaming pie , back in the world . All the best and Egypt station so far watching your posts I am so happy as to what I have to do . I love the idea of getting rid of the jewel cases I’m going to do that . You are so inspirational with your love of the Beatles and Paul . I am from Liverpool so I have the connection . Keep up the good work .. ps listened to flaming pie now I love it 👍
Thanks Carol! Flaming Pie really is great, I'd recommend something early now, maybe Ram or Band On The Run?
Thanks Andrew I think Ram is the next one for me to check out … Hey have a Look at …the beautiful
poem on you tube and check out the girl is mine featuring Paul it’s lovely 😊
Splendid To See Someone Other Than Myself Still Appreciates & Purchases CD Albums...
Great - I got to learn quite a lot that was new to me - thank you
Ps: love Back To The Egg to Death:) My first Paul album ever:) Would love to see an Archive treatment:)
I agree. I hope there is all the promo videos as well as the Rockestra documentary included in the box set
Supposedly Back To The Egg is coming.
@@georgeprice4212 the key word here being 'supposedly' :) That would be great though.
I agree. I think Back to the Egg was his best album between Venus and Mars and Flaming Pie. Definitely one of my favorites! An archive edition is the #1 thing on my wish list.
Andrew, you have introduced me to many wonderful Paul releases, vinyl singles/LP’s, and great discussions about our favorite artist…
But you are now also the man who introduced me to “Voice (ft. Heather Mills)”
I can only apologise!
@@AndrewDixonMusic I'll forgive you for this one ;) In all seriousness, thanks for the videos. I had a quick question: I've seen that Macca's people sent those Promotional Dice Bags out to many small Vinyl youtubers and Beatles channels. How did they get the address to send you the dice? Did you get an email from MPL out of the blue asking for your address? That sounds pretty awesome!
@@machiel5888 Yes Machiel that's exactly what happened, I got an email from Capitol Records who said they wanted to send me something! 👍
Great video Andrew. I have most of those but didn't buy the CD singles. I also have a vinyl version of the Flowers In The Dirt tour pack.
Thanks I really enjoyed this xx
Bought the Paul McCartney collection myself back in 1993, first CDs of his that I owned except for Wings Greatest and All the Best. Did remove the white covers, because I preferred the larger artwork. Have all of the Archive collection discs released so far, and kept the the PM Collection for the car.
First exposure to solo McCartney as Maybe I'm Amazed on an album called Disco '77. An odd place to find such a song!
Amazing collection you have there. Really nice to see it.
Cheers Sam, yes Maybe I'm Amazed, that disco classic! 😄
Some good memories going through the albums. I got into Paul's music around Tug of War time and once Pipes of Peace came out, I bought as much as I could afford! Have vague memories of some Wings hits (and the weird realisation that Paul had been in a band before!). Remember buying Once Upon A Long Ago CD single when it came out - didn't get a CD player for another 2 years but I suspected it would be a collectable! As for All The Best, always preferred the 20 track vinyl & cassette. My first concert of Paul was also Birmingham NEC in Jan 1990, what a moment to finally see him after waiting for what seemed like an age!
I was at that same show! Maccas voice kept cutting out early on in the show, voice tired, but his voice improved. Remember a single bagpipe player doing Mull of K outside the venue.
A great, extensive collection. I enjoyed your backstories too, such as thinking Paul lived in a cabin counting his money and writing every song in the Top 40. I was an unusual teenager too, so it's the kind of strange logic I can understand. For some reason, while I only had the Red and Blue compilations and a couple of studio albums, I thought that Words of Love was the only cover version they ever did. They loved Buddy Holly so much they did one solitary tribute recording! Oh dear. I have mixed feelings about the bonus tracks on CDs: I'm glad we have them, but often they don't fit the album they're tacked onto. Goodnight Tonight, for example, has nothing in common with the McCartney II album.
Thanks Andrew, You mentioned a couple of appearances I did not know about.
Some other Cds are Sound City with Dave Grohl, Bloody Beetroots- Paul appears on 'Out of Sight", Concert for Sandy 121212 - Paul sings Helter Skelter, Four Five Seconds / Four Five Seconds Music Video with Rhianna & Kanye, Getting In Over My Head - Brain Wilson Pauls sings on ""A Friend Like You " , Givin' It Up George Benson & Al Jarreau - Paul sings on "Bring It on Home to Me", Paul sings on "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - The Justice Collective, Holidays Rule Vol. 2 - Paul sings "Wonderful Christmas Time with Jimmy Fallon, Holly Days Remastered - Denny Laine with Paul and Linda appearing, Hollywood Vampires - Paul sings Come and Get It with Alice Cooper, In Flight - Denny Laine Paul appears on CD. The In Laws Soundtrack - Paul sings "A Love for You", "Live and Let Die (Alternative mix), "I'm Carrying" Inspired by Genius - The Music of Ray Charles Paul sings 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin' - Live
Peter Warwick
Thanks Peter, some there I don't have at all and some I have digital copies of (like the multiple Bloody Beetroots remixes)
Kevin Norwich.Thanks Andrew,very good video.Perhaps you could do separate one solely on guest appearances etc .
Use to play the hell out of "Looking for You" in '97. Totally kick-ass!
Just got this so yes cup of tea in hand and here’s to sir Paul 🎸
I still like "We All Stand Together",it's a harmless novelty song.
Great video Andrew! Would be great to see how you organise everything in your iTunes as it sounds like it would be an archive in itself!
Thanks Richard! I have thought about doing an iTunes collection video. Would have to organise it so it's not 15 hours long!
Great collection Andrew & some maga rare CDs you have.... I must say I'm surprised you don't have the Wingspan double compilation from 2001 which was worth it for the 3D cover alone!! Heard a rumour of London Town & Back To The Egg super deluxe sets being released together later this year so fingers crossed & I think you should revisit Back To The Egg as it's up there with my favourite Macca albums & believe me it never use to be!! It's aged extremely well.
2001 was a time when I had to be a bit careful with what I bought, then later on I only went back and bought previous releases if they offered me alternative musical content I didn't already have so I never felt the need to get that!
I like the Back To The Egg songs (mostly), have just never found it a great listen as an album 👍
@@AndrewDixonMusic Wingspan features some "DJ edits" (Junior`s Farm, With A Little Luck, Waterfalls) , according to Discogs they are "edited versions issued to radio at the time". Venus And Mars / Rockshow is the single edit.
Yay!!😊waifor London Town.
Thanks for your great video. I know know what I need to fill-in my collection with. I bought two deluxe versions of "Memory Almost Full" the last one containing a DVD. There is the orchestral version of the Ram album "Thrillington". I also collected the small CD of "This One" labeled Maxi-CD which includes "The First Stone", "I Wanna Cry" and cover of Fats Domino's "I'm In Love Again".
What a collection ! I have most of Paul's cds from his studio albums and I thought that was a lot, but add in his CD singles and you have a massive amount. Thanks for taking the time to showcase your collection, really enjoyed it. By the way are you missing any? Take care.
There's quite a few "albums that Paul appears on" that I don't have, but in terms of everything released in his name, any CDs I don't have are pretty much only ones where I have the exact material already on something else.
Flaming Pie, was my first ever McCartney album. Always remember searching high and low for all the CD Singles to complete the Oobu Joobu parts.
Love,love,"Flowers In The Dirt".We were the same age in 1989,Andrew.
That video is fantastic for me as a diehard fan! My top five McCartney albums are:
1. Band On The Run
2. RAM
3. Tug Of War
4. Venus And Mars
5. Flowers In The Dirt
How about a vinyl edition of this? Have seen a bit of vinyl through vinyl updates but would love to see such a marathonviewing like this
Yes Paul was the first to both perform and record for the Unplugged series. It maintains to have a very good reputation especially as many later Unplugged artists began to cheat more with some 'plugged' in instruments. being used. Probably only Paul and Eric Clapton were purely acoustic.
I would add Nirvana to your list. Whether you like them or not they put on a fantastic acoustic performance.
@@martindomines5863 Very true. Actually someone else also reminded me of this. Cheers Martin
@@martindomines5863 Kurt's guitar was plugged
@@andreaschlapek780 I won't disagree with you, Plugged or not it was still a great show. Also, I was thinking more along the lines of what Springsteen did. Totally plugged in. Take care.
Wonderful job overall. Sure do have a big collection. Congratulations.
Another great video, here is my top 5:
1. Back To The Egg
2. Band On The Run
3. Ram
4. Wings At The Speed Of Sound
5. London Town or Egypt Station
Btw this list changes like once a week lol.
I love back to the egg too!!
@@user-tw9mp8tp3q ikr! I don't know why its at the bottom of so many people's lists... I absolutely love every single track
Nice episode Andrew - great dead-pan 'shout out' to the Daily M**l! I laughed out loud. Not sure if this was supposed to be a definitive collection, but a few more CDs come to mind a) Knebworth 1990 (also on DVD), where Paul and band play 2 tracks (more on the DVD), b) one track on Brian Wilson's 'Over My Head' album of 2004, c) 'I Would Only Smile', originally on Denny's 'Japanese Tears' (which is not on DC as far as I know), and then on some of the DC repackages (also on the archive RRS, although not sure if same version). No CD single of 'Spies Like Us'? (probably a good thing!)
I don't think there ever was a CD single of Spies Like Us, not to my knowledge anyway!
I'm fairly sure the Knebworth tracks are on 1 of the CD singles I showed (but I'm not at home right now to check), and if that's the case that would explain me not buying the Knebworth album, I tend to only buy things if they offer some unique content I don't already have.
If you haven't done so, I would love some videos comparing the mixes (and general packaging) of original LPs vs CD first release, then newer releases, upto and including an archive release (if they have one).
Thanks Andrew. The Lulu track is sensational
Great video Andrew. One you might be interested to get is Rod Stewart’s album Smiler. Paul and Linda wrote the song Mine For Me. Paul is credited as backing vocalist
Thanks Edward, always looking to enhance the "featuring Paul" part of my collection!
As always I am watching this late. But it's funny that you are doing a video like this, because last night I was curious on how many copies of "McCartney" I had both in vinyl and CD's. I counted twelve. I have multiple copies of each album, but I probably have more copies of the McCartney album than any of his other albums. I think, anyways.
What an excellent video Sir. Can you please go through Dylan's CD's from that red box of yours in the same manner?
Thanks, interesting idea!
I remember "all my trials" being touted as an anti-thatcher statement by paul, and even remember him giving newsnight an interview. I bought the cd single souly for the live -- sound check -- version of C - moon, after seeing a ch 4 doc on his (at the time) current live tour where i belive that very version was included, it was an out door venue if memory serves and had him on the ol joanna
I remember picking up Anya Alexeyev's piano rendition of A Leaf and really enjoying it. It's difficult to find these days, though. I certainly prefer it to the version on Working Classical, which I feel loses something in the translation. I do think it'd be nice if Paul composed a few more piano pieces and released them as an album, like Billy Joel's Fantasies and Delusions, if you've heard that.
As i,m older than you Andrew i,ve always based my collection on vinyl so gaps in my collection tend to be cds not record. Best two cd collections in my view that are not available on vinyl are Off the Ground Complete works from Japan and Europe and the Japanese double disc version of Flowers in the dirt. Great to see your collection Andrew
Thanks David. You could fill the Albert Hall with the holes in my vinyl collection!
The cloth inner sleeve to Once Upon a Long Ago is from the original release.
Give My Regards to Broadstreet was so pilloried,as a film.
Andrew didn’t see”the concert for New York City”mentioned Paul had the last 4 tracks on disc 2 including Freedom(Finale).Enjoyed the video as usual.
Kevin, thank you, one of my intentions with a video like this is that I'll get the odd pointer to something that for whatever reason I'd never got around to buying and had subsequently slipped my mind. This is one of those things, I can see that it's not too expensive or difficult to get hold of so I'm hoping to get an order in tonight. Cheers! 👍
Your collection may impress everyone! But let me make only one note. The Russian album is named "Снова в СССР" or "Back in the USSR" in translate - the first song on White Album. Paul tried to pay attention on The Beatles, himself and rock-n-roll classic.
There's a nice album by Eric Clapton called "Old Sock" with Paul on vocal and upright bass called "All of Me". Very nice track.
Nice video you have a fantastic collection! `The Family Way` movie is as you say well worth a watch. Many good performances and Sir John Mills is brilliant in it!
Hi, on the 10cc album "Meanwhile . . ." there is a song co written by Paul McCartney
Andrew some CDs you missed. Film soundtrack song I want you to come home, Paul collaborations duet with Tony Bennett The very thought of you on Duets album. Eric Clapton cd Old sock Paul duets on All of me, Carl Perkins Go Cat Go Paul duet My Old Friend and Paul writes song Songbird in a cage on Charlotte Gainsbourg album Rest. So many ! Does he never stop !
Has Paul's version of I Want To Come Home ever had an official CD release? I've only ever seen what are obviously bootlegs being offered on eBay.
@@AndrewDixonMusic yes i think your right.
@@AndrewDixonMusic I'm pretty sure the copy i have is a promo rather than a bootleg. Cracking video btw, makes me want to go through my own collection in a similar manner
It's interesting to see some of the CD singles that just weren't issued here in America. At least not that my record store had in stock!
Enjoyable video Andrew. For the record, we both have the same 'first bought McCartney CD', that being the eighties version of Venus and Mars. I got mine (along with Red Rose Speedway) from the Beatles shop in Liverpool in 1990. Unfortunately, my Red Rose Speedway CD now has a nasty scratch which renders the back half of it unplayable. I now prefer Press to Play to Flowers in the Dirt. Btw, my Flowers in the Dirt World Tour pack has a 45 vinyl single of Party Party rather than an CD. Cheers, James
Cheers James, the joys of the Beatles Shop in the 90s! Sadly I don't think the shop has aged well, very tired now. I really wish I'd known Press To Play in 86, I suspect I would have played it to death then, instead of coming across it as a kind of much maligned curiosity in the 90s, but am glad I've still grown to love it!
@@AndrewDixonMusic I always liked it, but I definitely preferred Flowers when that first came out. I just find nowadays that PTP I can always listen to (and enjoy) whereas FITD gets on my nerves a fair bit!
Is yours the vinyl LP version too? Great package including a Pete Frame Paul McCartney rock family tree.
Hello Andrew, i saw your video and in the end my first thought was that I have to rewatch the whole thing. But this time with a pen and a piece of paper in my hands. Thanks a lot :) ... and then there is the question if there are signs for more beatles-related cd´s to come out soon? After POB, ATMP and GB last year it seems that this year will be more quiet.
All very quiet on the Beatles related releases at the moment, but really hoping there will be some John/Paul info soon!
«Run Devil Run” the best! ✌️🔥💥👍🎸🎶🎹🎼❗️💯
Great video Andrew, you missed out Maybe Baby (Buddy Holly cover) from the Ben Elton film
Cheers Nick. I have an MP3 of that but never got round to buying the CD, I may well put that right soon! 👍
In fact I've just found it on eBay for £2 and bought it! 👍
Great video Andrew!
Paul’s CD singles have always been so fun to track down and collect with all those B-sides on them!
And you’re completely correct about that recent 80s compilation being the first and only CD to have the 6 minute “once upon a long ago”. Those people who were trying to prove you wrong are just the usual arrogant types who won’t admit that THEY’RE wrong.
Everly Brothers EB 84 has On the Wings of a Nightingale. There's a cd ep called One Year On 46664, that was only available in Spain, which has a great version of "Whole Life" which was included in demo form on the Flaming Pie Archive.
Thanks Robert, I've tried to get hold of that 46664 CD, not easy to find!
Just some other albums Pauls contributes on include: Ringo (album) Six o'clock (which Paul actually wrote, he also contributed to You're Sixteen), La De Da (Vocals from Ringo's album Vertical Man), Grow Old With Me (From Ringo's album 'What's My Name' and written by John Lennon!!), Tony Bennett Duets (Paul does a vocal duet on The Very Thought of You', there is a promo cd of Figure of 8 which includes the 12 inch version and a promo cd single for Your Loving Flame with two remixes. Although no inclusion of Paul, MPL released an EP titled Paul McCartney Original Versions of 4 songs from RUN DEVIL RUN. A strange one this but it does feature Paul on the cover. There is also the album 'Good Rockin' Tonight The Legacy of Sun Records' where on track one Paul performs That's All Right'. Another is I walk to Walk You Home from ' Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino', ' Heal the Pain' with Geroge Michael oh the album 25, Rave on (Album Holly Days), The Honorary Councul (which I think eventually was released on cd Paul actually wrote the main theme), and then there is almost all the material on Denny Laine's Japanese Tears, and his brother's albums. Paul wrote most of the Elvis Costello single release ' Veronica' and many songs he co-wrote with Costello on the release Spike and the follow up Playboy to a Man. All of us on Andrew's channel will be familiar with dozens of albums Paul contributes on beyond these so I will not list any more. I simply included these as Pauls parts are so substantial. Well better be off as I have to fight The Battle of the Skeletons!
You can also add Paul's "Cut Me Some Slack" with Dave Grohl & Krist Novocelic on the Sound City soundtrack album.
Nice to hear Half Man Half Biscuit get a namecheck. Have you heard the Voltarol Years? Early contender for my best albums of 2022.
I haven't! I still have a heck of a lot to explore from them.
How about a review of the Capital releases. FYI, I’m an original Fab Four fan. I heard the first releases of the Vee Jay and Swan releases that preceded the first Capital album. Great memories. Also, you do a bang up job and don’t miss your shows. Have you ever seen the Pop Goes the 60s podcast? I saw John Lennon on Thanksgiving night in MSG 1974 with Elton John. The audience went ballistic. And I saw Paul at Met
Life stadium in 2016. Sadly it was a bit disappointing. BTW I visited a company in Huddersfield a few times.
"All The Best" was one of my first Paul McCartney CDs I purchased,I'm not sure about the cassette version.I no longer have any cassettes,since I no longer have a cassette player.
Enjoyed you have a wonderful collection you mentioned George’s memorial did you go I could not get a ticket watched it at the cinema upset
No I didn't go, would have been a great night!
I've got the "Back In The U.S" version.I haven't seen Vanilla Sky either,probably not missing much after all this time.
Macca 2 is one of his best
I wish Parlophone would do a re-release of the Beatles Mono Box set , like they did with the Queen Box of coloured vinyl from 2015 , I think 🤔
I like Andrews impression of Paul's voice on Check My Machine. Tropic island hum is a little known macca classic IMHO.
Tropic Island Hum is a far better song than Yellow Submarine IMHO
That's a lot of cds! I think I might have 10 of those. I want to get the archive cds eventually. You forgot one, he sings a song on Steve Martin rare bird alert. Great song Best Love.
Thanks Jean, Best Love and the Steve Martin CD was there in the video! 😉
@@AndrewDixonMusic haha. I must have missed it!
Only 2 minutes in and already I have a compliment for you re: Super Deluxe Flaming Pie. They didn't defeat you Andrew, you defeated them! Not easy for us fans. Big achievement in my books. Was that 24 years working as Paul's promoter? I agree on Helen Wheels - a good song but it doesn't fit with the flow of tracks on BOTR. I need to watch the entire video as I keep editing to add comments. Yet again I share a love from a song with Andrew. Sally G is just a awesome uplifting swingin' country flavored tune. My Carnival from the Cd edition of VAM is also one I love. Much, much better than the highly overproduced 12 inch versions that were later released on the 12inch picture record. Before I finish waffling does anyone remember McCartney also being released as a 4k gold disc? It was expensive. A final question I once bought a cd of Abbey Road, a legitimate official release, but when I got it home it played Mozart music. I go rid of it but should I have kept it? Would it be worth something today? Sorry for the waffle and Andrew thanks for an awesome video. You and 2legs are my two favorite subscriptions. I have noticed that McCartney fans especially youtubers are very kind people!
Yes, I won!! 😄
I wish my job was that exciting....
Enjoyed your video. Do you think Paul's version of "Too Much Heaven" (2004) will be released?
Thanks. If we don't get some sort of "rarities" release then I guess it's down to a Chaos and Creation Archive Collection which feels a long way off.
I still love "Concert For George".As many of the participants have passed on now,it becomes more poignant as the years pass.
The first time I saw it on TV,it was later than the one year anniversary of George's death(29 November 2002)-Good Friday 2003.Not sure of the exact date.
I had the great fortune to be at that concert, a night that I will never ever forget.
Enjoyed this episode, didn’t you get the two cd of memory almost full?

Is that different to the 2 disc version I showed?
It’s the two cd pink cover includes live at the Electric Ballroom 7.6.2007...didn’t see this in your collection. Did you ever buy the Highlights single cd of Liverpool Oratorio?
Hi thanks for sharing. Being a huge fan myself. You should check out "Spies like us" The art of noise mix from the lady Art of Noise remastered double cd set. That us 1 t own. Also love to see t g e remixes from the 12" singles from Press to Play. On the 7" singles collection it contains "Angry" remix. Best if luck to you . Inthink that song Once upon a long agos version u are talking about is on the Birthday box 6 cd singles collection that's another one that us amazing it has Same time next year on the cd single collection of Put it there and then there is do much more on that set it's worth looking for it also comes with a fab stick pin. Great their are people like yourself out there collecting I thought I was the only one.
Thanks Stuart. I've got all those remixes digitally, hopefully I'll be able tomget them all on CD eventually 👍
Paul also co-wrote (in 1969) with Steve Miller, "My Dark Hour." Paul performs on the recording playing just about everything and also does vocals with Steve Miller. At this point he was supposed to be incognito and is credited as Paul Ramone (I think/you can look it up). Paul's involvement was such a poorly kept secret that it was even mentioned in the review of the single in New Musical Express, at the time of release. Paul and Steve were/are friends and Paul has been involved in a number of projects with The Steve Miller Band. You could also have mentioned the album McGear (early 1970's) by Paul's Brother Mike. The band on the album is the full Wings line-up and Paul and Linda provide backing vocals. Most if not all of the songs are written by Paul or are joint written involving him. "Man Who Found God On The Moon, is a standout, as is the single "Leave It." A box set with extra tracks was recently released (50 years since release, I think). Paul also featured on the massive hit by Band Aid, "Do they Know It's Christmas." He is credited on the record but was not present when they shot the promo video.
I love the story around My Dark Hour and what a big day it was in the Beatles break up history.
I did show my McGear box set and talked about that here! 🙂👍
Flowers in the window by travis isn’t on The Man Who album, it’s on the Invisible Band
Agree with nearly everything this guy says. Reckon Liverpool Oratorio has some great tracks, they need more than one or two listens. Bit overlong, a single LO cd would have been very good
Still enjoy the multiple versions of "Figure Of Eight".
Just saying Andrew ,you say that you don’t think that we will get another live album from Paul ,but I think we might get his Glastonbury concert .I certainly hope so.
Great collection , It is my understanding that the rarest CD from Flowers In The Dirt or maybe even overall from Paul McCartney is a Test / Reference pressing of "Figure Of Eight" , the disc contains the same mixes as the standard promo CD , it is completely blank with only the Capitol Records Information in the hub area and had no artwork at all , my understanding is that less than a hand full of these were ever pressed and it is nearly impossible to find , I would love to be able to find out from Capitol Records the exact number of these that were pressed.
Not aware of that one! Never seen one come up on eBay.
Actually, "I'm Partial to Your Abracadabra" was also released as a CD-single. I have it.
I hope the fact that you don't own it won't make you too restless. After all, there may be some "B-sides" on there, maybe a song that you already have four times elsewhere - BUT, in a mix that lasts ten seconds longer.
Or maybe there are no "B-sides" on it at all...
"Duane Eddy His Twangy Guitar and the Rebels" has both Paul and George on it. Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" has the duet with Paul "My Old Friend" + all the other Beatles. Johnny Cash's duet with Paul on "Water From The Wells of Home". I'm not sure if you mentioned these or not.
Thank you, I didn't mention (or have) any of those! I'm building up a nice list of "needs"....
@@AndrewDixonMusic Paul reworked his Ram outtake/demo "Rode All Night" into the song "Giddy" for a Roger Daltrey solo album.
I'd forgotten about "The Family Way".Perhaps I should seek it out.
Do you have either of the late 80's charity singles - "Let It Be" and "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey" on CD, Andrew? Not sure if "Let It Be" [featuring McCartney's original 1969 vocal] was ever issued as a CD single but it did appear on a Telstar compilation later in 1987.
I have both those charity singles in iTunes but no official copies
I have Wingspan but haven't listened to it in ages.
I only use it for the things I don't have elsewhere, like the single edit of Take It Away.
My introduction to Steve Martin was his appearance on The Muppet Show in 1978.
To coincide with his 80th birthday perhaps,the re-release of London Town?
Great marathon.....
