Paul McCartney announces “fun to listen to” solo best of
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 1 April 2016
Paul McCartney has announced that he is releasing a best of compilation spanning his entire solo career, titled ‘Pure McCartney’. You’ll be able to choose from a 29 track version, or the full 67 song set. And, yes, I know what you’re thinking, it does include the 2015 remix of ‘Say Say Say’.
“Me and my team came up with the idea of putting together a collection of my recordings with nothing else in mind other than having something fun to listen to”, says noted egotist McCartney. I’m not sure at what point someone actually suggested that this collection might be something they could sell, though where you might listen to it was definitely on the agenda early on. “Maybe it’s to be enjoyed on a long car journey or an evening at home or at a party with friends? So we got our heads together and came up with these diverse playlists from various periods of my long and winding career”.
“The word ‘career’ is a bit misleading, because to me it has been more like a musical adventure than a proper job”, he corrects himself. “It pleases me, and often amazes me, that I’ve been involved in the writing and recording of so many songs, each of them so different from the others”.
It’s out on 10 Jun. Check out the full tracklist here.
