Comprehensive career retrospective from Paul McCartney imminent

Pure McCartney, a new compilation of solo, Wings and Fireman work set for June 10 via MPL/Concord, includes 67 songs, starting with McCartney in 1970 through "Hope For The Future," the 2014 track taken from the Destiny video game.

There are curios for the superfans and some of Paul's personal favorites—all handpicked by the man himself.

"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," Paul says of this project.

"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 set will be a
vailable in three different formats; 2CD, 4CD and 4LP.

4CD version features 67 tracks, more than 40 of which were Top 40 hits including "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Live and Let Die", "Mull Of Kintyre", "Ebony and Ivory" and more.

As a songwriter, Paul has never stood still, delving into countless genres and styles. Pure McCartney charts the unstoppable adventures of McCartney's unique and eclectic songwriting talents and shines a light on his post-Beatles artistic achievements.

"The word 'career' is a bit misleading because to me it has been more like a musical adventure than a proper job," says Paul, reflecting on the Pure McCartney tracklisting. "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."
