Paul McCartney - Soundcheck Songs, Volume 2: June to October 1993

I just posted an album by the Who, after losing track of the fact that I hadn't posted anything from them for a long while. I realized that it was the same situation for Paul McCartney and his solo career, so here's the next one chronologically from him.

Way back when, I posted Volume 1 of songs he did in soundchecks before concerts in 1993. Those soundchecks are a musical treasure trove, so much so that I've made four albums out of them, with this one being the second. It's rare that soundcheck performances get recorded at all, and they're usually not that interesting anyway, with artists warming up by doing some songs they would do later, and better, in the concert that followed. But McCartney has had a habit of performing songs in soundchecks just for fun that he would rarely or never do in concert, where he's felt pressure to do his many big hits. 

He's often done covers of songs he'd loved when he was a kid, and there are a bunch of those here. Even when he did versions of his hits, the soundcheck versions are nice because they're like studio takes, with no crowd noise. Plus, the reason there are so many 1993 soundcheck songs to choose from is because McCartney has his people record them with excellent sound quality. Then he played many of them in his 1995 radio show series "Oubu Joobu." So everything here is unreleased on record, but it all sounds great due to usually coming from that radio show.

This album is 48 minutes long.

For the cover photo, I used a photo taken from a concert in London in September 1993, since a few of the songs here are from a London soundcheck that month.
