	Paul McCartney The Family Way 1967 Decca Records			Love in the Air	Theme from 'The Family Way'
Technically Paul's first solo album. He wrote the score for this controversial film about British working class newlyweds. Well, it TRIED to be controversial. Don't really know if it was - kind of boring now, but still . . . nice soundtrack, though.

	Paul McCartney McCartney 1970 Apple Records			The Lovely Linda That Would Be Something Valentine Day Every Night Hot as Sun Glasses Junk	Man We Was Lonely Oo You Momma Miss America Teddy Boy Singalong Junk Maybe I'm Amazed Kreen - Akore
Macca's (true) first solo album in every sense of the word: every instrument is played by Paul, and the writing and production is solely Paul. Too bad it's not very good (!), though it has my favourite Macca song of all time: 'Maybe I'm Amazed.' There are some bright spots here and there, but there's he's trying too hard to prove how artistic he alone can be. Can you really blame him, though, after coming from the most prolific band ever?

	Paul & Linda McCartney Ram 1971 Apple Records			Too Many People 3 Legs Ram On Dear Boy Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey Smile Away	Heart of the Country Monkberry Moon Delight Eat at Home Long Haired Lady Ram On The Back Seat of MY Car
Now THIS is an album! Great songs, wonderful production, serious playing! Macca was well on his way to proving he still had it after The Beatles.

	Paul McCartney McCartney II 1980 Capitol Records			Coming Up Temporary Secretary On the Way Waterfalls Nobody Knows	Front Parlour Summer's Day Song Frozen Jap Bogey Music Darkroom One of These Days CD Bonus Tracks: Check My Machine Secret Friend
Oh, Paul . . . what were you thinking? Were you caught up in the New Wave craze, or was the pot they busted you in Japan for really that bad? Admittedly, this does has its charm 20+ years later, but this is definitely NOT one of his best.

	Paul McCartney Tug of War 1982 Capitol Records			Tug of War Take It Away Somebody Who Cares What's That You're Doing? Here Today	Ballroom Dancing The Pound is Sinking Wanderlust Get It Be What You See (link) Dress Me Up as a Robber Ebony and Ivory
Better, much better! And I think I'm one of the few who actually likes 'Ebony and Ivory,' even though every comedian and musician made fun of it. Naive? Sappy? Sure, but that's our Paulie!

	Paul McCartney Pipes of Peace 1983 Capitol Records			Pipes of Peace Say Say Say The Other Me Keep Under Cover So Bad	The Man Sweetest Little Show Average Person Hey Hey Tug of Peace Through Our Love
Not as good as the last one, but there are a few tunes on here that stand out. Why he felt the need to team up with Michael Jackson, though, is beyond me.

	Paul McCartney Give My Regards to Broad Street 1984 Columbia Records			No More Lonely Nights Good Day Sunshine Corridor Music Yesterday Here, There and Everywhere Wanderlust Ballroom Dancing Silly Love Songs	Silly Love Songs (reprise) Not Such a Bad Boy So Bad * No Values No More Lonely Nights (reprise) For No One Eleanor Rigby / Eleanor's Dream The Long and Winding Road No More Lonely Nights ................. ...... (playout version) Goodnight Lonely Princess * * CD Bonus Tracks
Paul, stop, you're embarrassing yourself. Didn't you learn anything from Magical Mystery Tour? This movie is so bad, certain governments force prisoners to watch this as punishment. Oh, what a stinker! The soundtrack isn't the greatest either, since he covers himself with Beatle and Wings tunes. There's only three new tunes here, but since it's Paul (bad or not) I had to have it.

	Paul McCartney Cold Cuts 1986 Club Sandwich Records			A Love for You My Carnival Waterspout Momma's Little Girl Night Out Robbers Ball	Cage Did We Meet Somewhere Before? Hey Diddle Tragedy Best Friend Same Time Next Year
A bootleg of unreleased songs. Very cool. And it has the love theme from Rock 'n' Roll High School ('Did We Meet Somewhere Before')!

	Paul McCartney Press to Play 1986 Capitol Records			Stranglehold Good Times Coming / .................. Feel the Sun Talk More Talk Footprints Only Love Remains	Press Pretty Little Head Move Over Busker Angry However Absurd Write Away CD Bonus Tracks: It's Not True Tough On a Tightrope
I like this record! The songs are very well written and produced, and there is a wealth of material here, too. Shame the rest of the record buying public didn't agree with me.

	Paul McCartney All the Best 1987 Capitol Records			Band On the Run Jet Ebony and Ivory Listen to What the Man Said No More Lonely Nights ______________ Live and Let Die Another Day C Moon Junior's Farm Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey	Silly Love Songs Let 'Em In Say Say Say Another Day Hi Hi Hi ___________ Coming Up Goodnight Tonight With a Little Luck My Love
Macca's greatest, from Wings to his solo stuff. Or that's what Capitol was marketing anyway. This collection is good, but it's missing some great stuff. But this is what the suits wanted, so . . .

	Paul McCartney Choba B CCCP 1988 EMI Russia Records			Kansas City Twenty Flight Rock Lawdy, Miss Clawdy Bring It On Home to Me Don't Get Around Much ....................... Anymore I'm Gonna Be a Wheel ................... .. Someday	That's All Right (Mama) Summertime Ain't That a Shame Crackin' Up Just Because Midnight Special
Russian import. Paul getting back to his roots. There's no doubting it -- the man can rock!

	Paul McCartney It's Now or Never .....the complete Russia sessions 1988 sirtwiggly records			Don't Get Around Much ....................... Anymore Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey I'm Gonna Be a Wheel ................... .. Someday Ain't That a Shame I'm in Love Again I Wanna Cry	Midnight Special Twenty Flight Rock Lawdy, Miss Clawdy Cracking Up Just Because Summertime

	Paul McCartney The Last Resort 1988 sirtwiggly records			Don't Get Around Much ....................... Anymore Lawdy Miss Clawdy I Saw Her Standing There	Lucille It's Now or Never That's Alright Mama Bring It On Home to Me
Bootleg recorded from an appearance on the UK TV Show, The Last Resort.

	Paul McCartney Flowers in the Dirt 1989 Captiol Records			My Brave Face Rough Ride You Want Her Too Distractions We Got Married Put it There	Figure of Eight This One Don't Be Careless Love That Day is Done How Many People Motor of Love Ou Est Le Soleil
The absolute, without a doubt, hands down, BEST album Macca has ever done! He went into the studio with the determination of hitting one out of the park, and boy, did he ever! Plus, he toured for the first time as a solo artist around the world in support of this album, which was a very nice added bonus, indeed.

	Paul McCartney B-Sides 1989 sirtwiggly records			Rainclouds I'll Give You a Ring Ode to a Koala Bear Spies Like Us Mary Had a Little Lamb Oh Woman, Oh Why	Country Dreamer Zoo Gang Lunch Box / Odd Sox My Carnival Figure of Eight The First Stone C Moon
A bootleg I did so I could have all of his B-sides (that I owned, anyway) in one place.

	Paul McCartney Tripping the Live Fantastic 1990 Capitol Records			Showtime Figure of Eight Jet Rough Ride Got to Get You Into My Life Band On the Run Birthday Ebony and Ivory We Got Married Inner City Madness Maybe I'm Amazed The Long and Winding Road Crackin' Up The Fool On the Hill Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts ............ ...... ...... Club Band Can't Buy Me Love Matchbox Put It There Together	Things We Said Today Eleanor Rigby This One My Brave Face Back in the USSR I Saw Her Standing There Twenty Flight Rock Coming Up Sally Let It Be Ain't That a Shame Live and Let Die If I Were Not Upon the Stage Hey Jude Yesterday Get Back Golden Slumbers / Carry That ..... ..... ... ... Weight / The End Don't Let the Sun Catch ..... ..... ... ..... ..... You Crying
A souvenir of his first solo tour. What a show!

	Paul McCartney Macca in Japan 1990 sirtwiggly records			Intro The Long and Winding Road Today Rough Ride Ou Est Le Soleil	Momma's Little Girl Same Time Next Year Party, Party P.S. I Love You / Love ..... .. Me Do '89 (Mixing it Up)
Another bottleg from Paul's Flowers in the Dirt tour.

	Paul McCartney Macca at Knebworth '90 1990 sirtwiggly records			Coming Up Back in the USSR I Saw Her Standing There We Got Married Birthday Live and Let Die Good Day Sunshine	Hey Jude Strawberry Fields Forever Help! Give Peace a Chance Yesterday Can't Buy Me Love
And another bootleg, this from Paul's 1990 show in Knebworth, England.

	Paul McCartney Unplugged - The Official Bootleg 1991 Capitol Records			Be-Bop-a-Lula I Lost My Little Girl Here, There and Everywhere Blue Moon of Kentucky We Can Work It Out San Francisco Bay Blues I've Just Seen a Face Every night	She's a Woman Hi-Heel Sneakers And I Love Her That Would Be Something Blackbird Ain't No Sunshine Good Rockin' Tonight Singing the Blues Junk
From the MTV special, Macca decided to beat the bootleggers to it and issued his own 'bootleg' of the show. Of course, this being Macca, the production is excellent -- plus, the material he selected is great. His favourite oldies, solo stuff and Beatles' tunes. Including one of the very first Beatles tunes, 'I Lost My Little Girl' (even though it's credited here solely to McCartney, not 'Lennon and . . .').

	Paul McCartney Off the Ground the complete works 1993 Capitol Records			*CD 1* Off the Ground Looking for Changes Hope of Deliverance Mistress and Maid I Owe It All to You Biker Like an Icon Peace in the Neighbourhood Golden Earth Girl The Lovers that Never Were Winedark Open Sea C'Mon People	*CD 2* Long Leather Coat Keep Coming Back to Love Sweet Sweet Memories Things We Said Today Midnight Special Style Style I Can't Imagine Cosmically Conscious Kicked Around No More Big Boys Bickering Down to the River Soggy Noodle
A special release including an entire disc of unreleased material and covers. Well, something had to make up for this dismal record! Macca rushed the writing on this, even though it was four years after Flowers in the Dirt. Unfortunately, it shows. The second disc is kinda nice, though.

	Paul McCartney Paul is Live 1993 Capitol Records			Drive My Car Let Me Roll It Looking for Changes Peace in the Neighbourhood All My Loving Robbie's Bit (Thanks Chet) Good Rocking Tonight We Can Work It Out Hope of Deliverance Michelle Biker Like an Icon Here There and Everywhere	My Love Magical Mystery Tour C-Mon People Lady Madonna Paperback Writer Penny Lane Live and Let Die Kansas City Welcome to Soundcheck Hotel in Benidorm I Wanna Be Your Man A Fine Day
A souvenir of Macca's 1993 world tour. Kind of anti-climactic for me. The 1989-90 tour was such an event, his first US tour since the 1976 Wings tour, and it supported his greatest solo record ever (Flowers in the Dirt). This one is just kind of there.

	Paul McCartney Standing Stone 1997 EMI Records			1/3 ...I ... After heavy light years 4/8 ...II .. He awoke startled	9/14 ... III ... Subtle colours ... .... .... .... merge soft contours 15/19 ... IV ... Strings pluck, ..... ..... ..... .. horns blow, drums ..... ..... ..... .. beat
Another stab at classical music (the first being the Liverpool Oratorio). Macca just needs to stay with rock 'n' roll. Though I give him credit for trying, and I worship at the altar of McCartney; but even this is a little too much to ask.

	Paul McCartney Flaming Pie 1997 Capitol Records			The Song We Were Singing The World Tonight If You Wanna Somedays Young Boy Calico Skies Flaming Pie	Heaven On a Sunday Used to Be Bad Souvenir Little Willow Really Love You Beautiful Night Great Day
After the success of The Beatles' Anthology, Paul must have decided that he didn't need to put out hit after monster hit. This one has the feeling of 'I'm gonna do this for me and the world be damned.' In a way that's great, but you also get the vibe that he really isn't trying anymore. And for someone as competetive as he is, that could be the death knell. This is a nice record for rainy Sunday afternoons, but that's about it.

	Paul McCartney Run Devil Run 1999 Capitol Records			Blue Jean Bop She Said Yeah All Shook Up Run Devil Run No Other Baby Lonesome Town Try Not to Cry	Movie Magg Brown Eyed Handsome Man What It Is Coquette I Got Stung Honey Hush Shake a Hand Party
The first album Paul did after Linda's untimely death from cancer. A collection of some of his favourite 50's tunes with a few new ones thrown in. Interesting, and if you're a fan you have to have everything the man owns, but there's no excitement anymore. Although, the band he gathered was killer (David Gilmour?!) and the process of recording was cool (no rehearsals, just run through the tunes a couple times and record - just like the old days).

	Paul McCartney Driving Rain 2001 Capitol Records			Lonely Road From a Lover to a Friend She's Given Up Talking Driving Rain I Do Tiny Bubble Magic Your Way	Spinning On an Axis About You Heather Back in the Sunshine Again Your Loving Flame Riding Into Jaipur Rinse the Raindrops CD Boinus Track: Freedom
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. A poor album that never went anywhere. The less said the better. Though he did tour for it . . .

	Paul McCartney Back in the US Live 2002 2002 Capitol Records			Hello Goodbye Jet All My Loving Getting Better Coming Up Let Me Roll It Lonely Road Driving Rain Your Loving Flame Blackbird Every Night We Can Work It Out Mother Nature's Son Vanilla Sky Carry That Weight The Fool on the Hill Here Today Something	Eleanor Rigby Here, There and Everywhere Band On the Run Back in the USSR Maybe I'm Amazed C Moon My Love Can't Buy Me Love Freedom Live and Let Die Let It Be Hey Jude The Long and Winding Road Lady Madonna I Saw Her Standing There Yesterday Sgt. Pepper's / The End
After hearing how in fine form Sir Paul was during his 2002 tour, courtesy of this wonderful CD, I began kicking myself daily for not going to see him when he was in Cleveland. And he played here twice! I thought that age had thrown Macca out for the count and his voice would be a mere shadow of its former self. I couldn't have been more wrong, and Paul, I sincerely apologise for ever doubting you. I'll never do it again.

	Paul McCartney Chaos and Creation in the Backyard 2005 Capitol Records			Fine Line How Kind of You Jenny Wren At the Mercy Friends to Go English Tea	Too Much Rain A Certain Softness Riding to Vanity Fair Follow Me Promise to You Girl This Never Happened Before Anyway CD Bonus Tracks: Comfort of Love Growing Up Falling Down
At first I really did not like this record. Too depressing, too much fake introspection (I felt), too un-Paul McCartney. Thankfully, I listened to this several more times and I discovered how wonderful this record truly is! Sure, I would've like some more uptempo pop songs (nobody does 'em better than Macca!) but this is a nice departure with some wonderfully textured songs. Paul's done it again!

	Paul McCartney & DJ Freelance Hellraiser Twin Freaks 2005 Parlophone Records			Really Love You Long Haired Lady (Reprise) Rinse the Raindrops Darkroom Live and Let Die Temporary Secretary	What's That You're Doing Oh Woman, Oh Why Mumbo Lalula Coming Up Maybe I'm Amazed CD Bonus Tracks: I Want You to Fly This Loving Game
On Paul's 2005 European Tour, remixes of some classic solo McCartney songs were played before the man himself took the stage. A Swedish DJ remixed these tunes and the response was so overwhelming, they released them as this CD. Unfortunately, it's an import-only release, but fans worldwide will eat it up. Not for the casual listener, though, as some renditions sound incomplete ('Live & Let Die').

	Paul McCartney Memory Almost Full 2007 MPL Communications			Dance Tonight Ever Present Past See Your Sunshine Only Mama Knows You Tell Me Mr. Bellamy	Gratitude Vintage Clothes That Was Me Feet in the Clouds House of Wax The End of the End Nod Your Head
Proof positive that Macca is one of a kind! Never melancholy about his life or his recent breakup with Heather (YAY!!!), only Paul can get away with being nostalgic and not being sappy about it. Great album!
