i buy that line. i'm probably biased just from never being curious enough to check that stuff out!

McCartney's involvement in the project was minimal, according to biographer Howard Sounes, who quotes Martin's recollection that he had to "pester Paul for the briefest scrap of a tune" with which to start writing the score. After McCartney had provided "a sweet little fragment of a waltz tune", Martin continued, "I was able to complete the score."[6] But this appears to refer specifically to Martin's last-minute decision that the score needed "a central love theme, something wistful" for which McCartney composed the extra theme "Love In the Open Air" after the bulk of the score had been written. Martin said he had to "go round to his house and literally stand there until he composed something."
Credited as arranged and conducted by Martin.

So yeah idk I'm inclined to leave this stuff out
i don't envision getting around to coming up with 100 songs, or investigating the hours and hours of paul and ringo i've never heard, in time to vote on all this, but goddamn the 80-second title track to venus and mars is beautiful and should be talked about more often. "rock show," which it's attached to, is great too, obviously, but "venus and mars" is next level and it's way up there in my paul pantheon. (the longer, bowie-esque reprise on side two not quite as good.)

Ok, so I made these a while back - imaginary LPs from Abbey Road up to 1981 (I planned to continue up to the present day but didn't for whatever reason) - I am positive that nobody will 100% agree with my choices, but thought I might as well share / get some feedback on them.

I agree, but I prefer the reprise of 'Venus and Mars' because of the outro with all the backing vocals and because, like 'Loup', it's an example of Paul getting cosmic.

I've decided to leave out live recordings. (I know I already listed Lennon's Sometime in NYC tracks, but those are part of a bigger studio album so whatever. I also included the Concert for Bangladesh, which I would withdraw on second though but idk if someone really wants to vote for those tracks for some reason go ahead. I just didn't want to list all of the additional live albums, particularly Macca, who's got a bunch)

the soundtrack is really great and i like the movie as well. the psychedelic art collective The Fool was in the movie as well, and they have a bit of a history of collaboration with the Beatles. they designed the insert sleeve for Sgt. Pepper and they were commissioned to paint guitars and cars and all sorts of things for the band. The Fool has a record of their own from 1968 that is pretty cool in a poppy Incredible String Band sort of way.

mccartney's live albums are all p much garbage. wings over america is kind of a decent one-stop shop if you want a lot of that period of wings in slightly less tight and polished performances. it is really only noteworthy for spawning the actual hit version of "Maybe I'm Amazed," which is terrific. you also get denny laine doing "richard cory," some forgettable beatles covers, and the "keeps the live crowd grooving but not worth putting on an album" number "soily." the cat in the satin trousers said it's oily. see also "the mess" (live cut b-side to "my love"). actually... imma go head and type up some mccartney b-sides and released-on-the-expensive-bonus-import-album cuts. a couple of these really are ballot-worthy, trust me!

mccartney's live albums are all p much garbage
i listened to Venus And Mars for the first time recently and got Monster hives: a big-sounding studio record made almost solely for the functional purpose of propping up a worldwide tour extravaganza that sounds totally hollow outside that context (the title squib is nice though)
― sciatica, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
I disagree. Venus and Mars is top tier Wings record and a worthy follow-up to Band on the Run. Wings at the Speed of Sound (the clue is in the title) was definitely made as an album to justify the tour, and it shows in places, although half the record is classic Wings.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
nice work shakey! cross-checking my list against yours, i might have just a few goodies left to add. the big miss is probably Helen Wheels which was only belatedly added to Band on the Run.

Okay - I think this really is the last of it, though my knowledge of 90s-00s b-sides and stuff is pretty hazy. I put *** next to ones I think people who like McCartney solo stuff but haven't gone beyond the albums should definitely check out. In general I do think he drew some kind of line between "good enough for album filler" and "not" - - - a lot of these have incredible riffs or main hooks but it's obvious they're missing some element (a bridge, a chord change) that would really make them special.

Doc are those all (generally speaking) non-album tracks?

i wonder how long it would take to listen to all of these tracks. i recently had a bunch of long-distance drives i was doing and i ended up listening to every beatles album in order over the course of a few days -- tbh it was kind of startling to realize how little time it took to listen to everything they recorded. (confirmed my old suspicion that revolver is their finest hour.) feel like i'll at least need to try to listen to all the major stuff here to even begin to know what to vote for.

there's some tracks on this posthumous lennon release that i don't think got released anywhere else -- side 2 is all walls & bridges outtakes but i think side 1 might qualify for the poll:

Re: my Macca list: a decent number are unreleased, bootleg-only cuts that I meant to keep separate but got tangled in somewhere along the way, maybe once I saw that you were counting never-released things like "Suicide." "Soily" and "The Mess" were live only, but got released on Wings Over America and as the b-side to "My Love," respectively. "P.S. Love Me Do" was concert warm-up background music on some godforsaken tour, which I believe was also the principal purpose of the later Twin Freaks material (obviously better by orders of magnitude). Then there's a sprinkling of b-sides and/or things that were unreleased until they showed up on bonus editions of the albums (e.g. the "Paul McCartney Collection" CDs in the early 90s, and the more recent remasters which rescued a bunch of the Ram through Red Rose Speedway material). Several are soundtrack cuts or attempted soundtrack cuts - "Did We Meet Somewhere Before?" for example, is in Rock 'n' Roll High School (!) but didn't make it to the soundtrack LP. "Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance" is from a TV special; "Zoo Gang" was a TV show theme. A bunch of the 80s ones were from the abortive sessions between Press and Flowers in the Dirt - some of those trickled out as 90s B-sides, for example "Squid" which is a really pretty instrumental.

Freelance Hellraiser toured as opening DJ with Paul, but I don't think Twin Freaks was conceived for him to just put on and have a smoke

one track is SFA remixing unreleased Beatles sessions, and IIUC the last track is Paul remixing what they turned in
also IIUC the Real Gone Dub track is a Youth solo joint, if anyone recompiles a mega-Macca list for voting

I noticed that about the Real Gone Dub track but left it in anyway in case Macca muttered over it at some point or something

I better see fuckin' "Press" on some lists!

tragically, the "Paul Mcartney" appearing on Matt Berry's Rain Came Down is a convincing simulacrum played by Peter Serafinowicz, but he should be eligible anyway

tbh with some of these solo guest appearances things it was really hard to determine which tracks the ex-Beatle actually contributed to. Some of those albums Ringo played on for example (Nilsson, etc.), he's not the only drummer on the album, but it's basically impossible to determine which tracks are him and which are, say, Jim Keltner.
