Advantages: All the songs you know and love

Disadvantages: Not a lot of tracks, misses out 21 years of solo work

Don't get me wrong. I have been into Paul McCartney for 20 years now. This album is a great introduction to him and his solo career, but an even better "Best Of" is Wingspan, which was released in 2001. It has more songs on it, and has a few more obscure songs on there. Furthermore, this album was released in 1987, and he has done 21 years of new material since then so you're missing out a sizeable chunk of his career. I do like all the songs on this album, but for me, I feel his best songs are his more obscure ones. My favourite Macca albums, which I will review all of on here over time are: McCartney, Off The Ground, Band On The Run, Flowers In The Dirt and Flaming Pie. Because you can pick these CDs up very cheaply on Amazon, I'd suggest you buy these instead, or if you do only want an overview, then I'd choose Wingspan over this album any time; better value for money as it's a double album.

Summary: For an introduction to Macca's solo career, buy Wingspan instead.
