Comment:
This was inspired by a couple of different things, chief among them being a series of discussions I had with a close friend who's relatively new to the Beatles (and definitely Paul's solo material). I was a McCartney fan for a long time but shifted to John in recent years and was pretty ruthless to Paul in our discussions. After seeing Rob Conroy's "People pass me by on my imaginary street" three volume series last year, I figured it wouldn't hurt to fill out the gaps in my McCartney collection and revisit his entire catalogue. I'll be honest...I was pleasantly surprised after rediscovering Macca's catalog. Some of it was stronger than I remembered, and some of the new stuff I got ahold of was pretty great. On the other hand, I'd say a quarter of Macca's solo work is pretty dismal, with another quarter being completely worthless. So I came up with this three disc career-spanning McCartney collection for my friend in an attempt to show him that I could be fair. There are many "glaring omissions," but I decided to stick to my totally subjective way of making mixes for my friend, knowing that he has always trusted my musical instincts explicitly. "Ram," always a favorite, sounds like an outright masterpiece to me now, and is therefore absent from this disc, as I decided to copy the album in its entirety for my friend.Feedback:
Nice mix. I haven't seen the other two yet.
I've always liked Red Rose Speedway. I was going to mention what about something from Ram, but then noticed your reason for omission. Yep, that is a completely wonderful album. Question: I was out of the country for a long spell during which time MaCartney II was released (1980, or 1981?). I have never heard it. Anything worthwhile on that disc?
I love that album. Probably my third-favorite after McCartney and Ram.
Steve: my verdict on "McCartney II" is that it's more interesting in theory than execution. It's another "made at home" album, in the vein of "McCartney," but has the late 70s/early 80s new wave datestamp all over it. Yes, Paulie tries to pull off full blown synthpop numbers like "Temporary Secretary" which would even make Devo blush. There are a couple of okay-ish ballads ("Waterfalls," "One Of These Days") some neat, synthy instrumentals ("Frozen Jap") and a couple of bluesy tunes ("On The Way"), but then there's outright dopey stuff ("Bogey Music," "Temporary Secretary"). The non-live version of "Coming Up" is pretty cool. Macca said he never intended "McCartney II" to be an album but got tired of people thinking it was his new one, so decided to release it legitimately. Interesting, if you like the home grown McCartney stuff, but not something you'll want to listen to all the time.
