New McCartney Collection Expected In June

It looks like Paul McCartney has decided that either his bank coffers aren’t full enough yet, or that we still don’t have the right selection of accumulated hits and deep tracks. Because we’re getting a new ‘best of’ soon. My problem with the set – right off the bat – is that this is being touted as a collection of tunes that McCartney and his “team” selected as a set of favorite tunes. However, the problem with that kind of collection is that…well, being subjective, fans have a tendency to like an accumulation of the tried and true songs. And Wingspan already addresses that well enough. But it’s not for me to discuss in detail. It’s for me to tell you that it’s coming.

On June 10, Hear Music will release several versions of Pure McCartney. Pure McCartney is a curated set that brings together a bevy of songs from his solo career. The full 4CD Box will offer 67 tracks (see list below). There will be a 4LP set as well as a truncated 2CD edition. The 2CD Edition will contain 39 tracks. Take it for what it’s worth to you as a McCartney fan.
