I noticed that My Brave Face was not included, which was a Top 40 hit for Paul; neither was This One, both released from his 1989 "comeback" album.

Any other notable omissions from this "best of" collection?

Wingspan was only meant to cover the period 1970-1984, so anything from Flowers In The Dirt would be too late.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

It was announced when the album came out that it would only be covering that period. The latest song on there is 'No More Lonely Nights', as far as I can tell. There's nothing from Press To Play either. It was meant to 'span' the period from when he went solo, include Wings, and bit more solo after. Hence the title.

Wingspan to me was a disappointment...nearly half of those songs were McCartney solo songs and had nothing to do with Wings.


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

I agree.. But adding on to that, he could have included some songs from the other members as well. It's annoying to me when people say that Wings was just Paul, but he sure makes it seem that way sometimes.

Jo Jo was in the process of writing a book when she passed away that was about her time with Wings..

the research is going great...i've been in contact with a lot of cool people. For example, Colin Allen (Stone the Crows drummer and Jimmy's main song writing partner) and Ricci Martin (Dean Martin's son) offered his memories of Jimmy.

Just replace 'No Other Baby' for 'Dance Tonight' at the end, try to find the single version of 'Spies Like Us' for save some space and you got it man!
