Paul McCartney 1970-2020 Vol2 Remake/Cover Album Choba Unplugged

Now that Flaming Pie is released, it seems a good time to put out an all-new complete (as of 2020) Paul McCartney discography. Not everyone is into all aspects of Paul, so this is broken into 10 volumes - and maybe that makes it easier to download. I'm starting with the smallest volume to test my uploading capabilities, and will release a new volume every few weeks once the previous volume is seeded, not necessarily in order. Please bear with me - my internet is often slow and unstable. But I will seed as long as possible. All constructive feedback is helpful, especially if I left anything out. Enjoy!

Paul McCartney Complete Discography 1970-2020

Goal: Collect ALL of the many Paul McCartney songs that are currently distributed across more than 100 discs, including b-sides, charity singles, collaborations, remixes, soundtracks and everything else. I count over 1,800 unique official music tracks.

Restrictions: I favor legitimate releases over bootlegs (with a few exceptions). I include audio rips from legit DVD, TV and radio (Oobu Joobu mostly) if they are of high quality and important. More than 99% of Volumes 1-8 is legit. Volume 9-10 collects the best bootlegs.

Justification: There are many existing discographies but they have drawbacks of (a) being incomplete, (b) mixing official releases with low quality bootlegs, or (c) redundancy in songs. The same exact song recording might be in half a dozen different places.

Uniqueness: I try to make every song included unique. Some same versions of songs appear on many different compilation albums with only a few unique tracks on the compilation. Now you don't have to sort out what's unique to each release. Every song here is unique.

Quality: Almost all are 320, some 256. Just a few are 128-192 when there was no option.

Source/Thanks: A huge thanks and debt of gratitude to the maker of Paul's Ultimate Archive Editions. Those form the bulk of what is included here, but organized quite differently, and there are dozens more sources as well. The Ultimate Editions are amazing works.

Notation: For any track Paul added after the original release, or I added as a bonus, there is an 'x' for extra after the track number. For short interview pieces tacked onto the end of some albums, I number them 90+, indicating they're mostly or all talking. Most of the time only bonus tracks are listed below, not the whole album which is easy to look up.

CD burning: I doubt people burn CDs now, but just in case, I made most folders under 80 minutes which meant moving a few bonus cuts to other albums, so you'll have to hunt for those. Some albums couldn't fit under 80 minutes (most live albums) so I left those long to preserve album continuity. The goal was folders of 15-30 tracks and 60-80 minutes.

Result: The following compilation of more than 2,500 different music files (including the bootlegs) - 160 hours of Paul. I never guessed Paul had this much material but here it is.

The songs are organized into 10 major volumes:

1) Original Studio Albums
All 21 original studio albums from Paul McCartney, and Wings, from 1970-2018. This volume includes only SOME of the Archive Collection bonus tracks. Others are scattered about.

2) Remake/Cover Albums
Seven albums when Paul reflected on the past, remaking his or covering others' songs.

3) Alternate Version albums - Using tracks from the Archive Collection and more, I re-created 19 albums in an alternate form. I only did this for albums where at least half the songs had an official alternate version. I prefer this than, for example, listening to 5 versions of the same song in a row, such as 'Say Say Say' or 'Press'. Flowers in the Dirt and Flaming Pie each had enough tracks to fill TWO alternate versions.

4) Classical and Experimental albums
This volume collects Paul's 5 electronica/experimental albums including 3 by The Fireman, and 4 of his 5 forays into classical music.

5) Live Albums
All Paul's officially released live albums released on CD, vinyl or digital. Two more official live albums are in Volume 2 - Unplugged and Live at Capitol Records.

6) Live Unofficial
These are performances that weren't released on CD but still vital to true fans - all from DVDs, TV appearances, online sources, and radio (mostly 1995's Oobu Joobu radio show).

7) Rarities
This volume contains songs that are generally hard to find, most scattered on various b-sides, promo releases and non-McCartney albums.

8) Related albums
All these albums are connected to Paul and/or Wings, including documentary albums.

9) Sweet Boots - Live
A collection of live bootlegs.

10) Sweet Boots - studio
A collection of studio bootlegs
