Paul McCartney - Set This Town on Fire - Non-Album Tracks (1991-1993)

This is the next in a long series of stray tracks albums for Paul McCartney. This one deals with the years 1991 to 1993.

McCartney didn't release any new music in 1991 or 1992. But in 1993, he released the studio album "Off the Ground." The first two songs are unreleased rarities from 1991. The five songs after that are B-sides for singles from the "Off the Ground" album. There are a few more B-sides from this time period, but I only included the ones I liked.

Then the remaining songs are from soundchecks to concerts from his 1993 world tour. There actually are a ton of great soundcheck performances from his 1993 concerts. I have a few albums I'll be posting that are entirely songs from those. Because they're soundchecks, apparently recorded by McCartney and later released on his Oubu Joobu radio show, they sound fantastic and there's no crowd noise at all. The few soundcheck songs I've included here were selected because they're songs that he otherwise never (or only rarely) did.

I think most of the songs here are originals, especially the B-sides. But there are some covers too, such as "The Fool," "We're Gonna Move," "Mean Woman Blues," and "Singing the Blues."
