YouTube listen.
Geez, not flogging a dead horse is he??
album released earlier in the year and now just before Christmas comes a deluxe edition
its gone from a single LP to a double LP and probably doubles in price (am i cynical or what??)
and all there is are four tracks that didnt make the original cut, WTF
the original album was okay, passable for the most part considering his age and vocal deterioration
but what about the four new tracks?
Paul McCartney - Chelsea Boots is catchy, it has a hook but repetitive, yeah, its okay, better than some tracks on the existing album but thats my opinion and i'll give it a 6/10
Paul McCartney - One Night Stand starts off really horrible, an acoustic start and Macca is as flat as a tack, prefer it when he starts to rock out, even though his voice is strained its better than the flat slower part, i'll give it a 5.5/10
Paul McCartney - City Fox slow and basically acoustic but its more of a narration than actual singing and that saves it for me. ill score that one 5.5/10
Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr - Home to Us (Flip Mix) the best song on the album was this duet between Paul and Ringo, its poppy, catchy, melodic and Beatley. this is pointless IMO with Paul singing Ringo's parts and vice-versa, ridiculous 0/10
so is it worth buying the new deluxe expanded edition?
short answer, NO.
i'll wait for the 1st anniversary super deluxe remastered edition LOL (sorry, bit it seems like a pre christmas money grab by Sir Paul, who knows, maybe he's down to his last Billion now)
that all said, i love the montage cover, it was inner gatefold on the original release but external on this one
