Paul McCartney - We All Stand Together - Non-Album Tracks (1981-1984)

There are so many musical artists with so many albums that should exist! I'll still trying to finish up the careers of some artists I've started, rather than move onto new ones willy nilly. Thus, here's more Paul McCartney even though I haven't posted any of John Lennon's solo stuff yet. That, and a lot more, is coming eventually.

This album covers the stray tracks from 1981 to 1984, which is when he released "Tug of War" in 1982 and "Pipes of Peace" in 1983. There are a lot of nice songs here, even though he was essentially coasting with "Pipes of Peace," filling that album with songs that didn't make the much better "Tug of War." One of the songs here, "We All Stand Together," even was a number three hit in Britain, though I don't think it was released as a single in the US.

Oh, and he also released the soundtrack to "Give My Regards to Broad Street." Ugh. I consider that a critical mistake both as a movie and an album. The album mostly consists of remakes of Beatles and McCartney solo songs, only these remakes aren't as good. There are only three new songs. For your typical McCartney fan, those are the only three songs from the album that you need. So I've included them here, at the end.

01 Stop, You Don't Know Where She Came From (Paul McCartney)
02 Simple as That [Demo] (Paul McCartney)
03 I'll Give You a Ring (Paul McCartney)
04 Rainclouds (Paul McCartney)
05 For No One [Acoustic Version] (Paul McCartney)
06 Ode to a Koala Bear (Paul McCartney)
07 On the Wings of a Nightingale [Demo] (Paul McCartney)
08 The Honorary Consul [Instrumental] (Paul McCartney)
09 We All Stand Together (Paul McCartney)
10 Lindiana (Paul McCartney)
11 No More Lonely Nights (Paul McCartney)
12 Not Such a Bad Boy (Paul McCartney)
13 No Values (Paul McCartney)
