That crafty MCCartney. Mate - that's what the industry been doing for the last 50 years. I think you need to stop writing and start listening.
OK. Fair comment. But, I'm not bound to rush out to buy armfuls of McCartney albums after having bought All The Best. And where would I start? So, any advice? Which two studio Macca albums should I start with (apart from the latest) to hear his finest solo stuff?

I am in the same predicament Greenapps.. TKitna who seems to me quite an avid Macca solo collector recommends RAM....That's what I'm gonna go for....I would definitely recommend Chaos & creation over Flaming Pie...(One that I did buy.)
It was 'All The Best' Album that put me off getting his solo albums. lol
Are you mocking me for saying that songs like C Moon, Uncle Albert, and We All Stand Together are not very good songs? Do you like these songs and regard them as good?

I'll probably go for C&C and then Ram if I like C&C then.

How did you deduce that?
I was saying for me, it put me off buying his solo albums. Can't see why you thought I was mocking you.
In fact, in a UK Top Of The Pops special programme interview a few years back, I heard Paul say that when John Lennon heard Coming Up on the radio he decided that it was time for him to get back into the studio after his five year break. Paul seemed quite pleased to mention it in the interview. Did anyone see or hear that?
You could think of it like this: John was so embarrassed by this song, he decided to get back into the studio to prove it could easily be done better and to keep The Beatles-dream somewhat alive.

When I saw it, I just felt a hint of, as though Paul wanted John to come back into the fold, from Paul's body language, tone of voice, and facial expression. I interpreted it as though Paul thought that John would be coming back to Paul because John heard a Macca song he actually liked. Paul seemed right pleased with it.
I gather Paul was the one really keen on the Beatles getting together again. A far as I know, even though Paul was responsible for spitting the group, (?), it was John who was most reluctant to bring it together again.
I can't think who I would like him to work with from the younger generation of bands...who really is that worthy? Would be quite an honour.
Couldn't think of anyone either, that's why I left it blank. Keane maybe? They're very melodic and not just another guitar band. Could be some nice harmonies there.

What do you think about this from George?:
"You all will have read that Dave Dee is no longer with us. But Micky and Tich and I would like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in number two." from the recording session of I me Mine (January 3, 1970)
Could it be that even George (we know that Paul and surely Ringo did) wanted to continue with the guys despite John said to all of them that he wanted the divorce? By that time John continued defining himself as one of the guys in his interviews so,... it might be a terrible mistake from Paul to make his announcement when noone wanted really left the band but take some mounths of rest?
Hopefully you'll enjoy RAM. Its the most Beatle sounding record that any of them recorded solo wise (my opinion anyways), and there isnt a bad song on it. A few of my faves would be - '"Back Seat Of My Car', 'Smile Away', 'Monkberry Moon Delight', and 'Heart Of The Country'. Let me know whatcha think.
