Last year, Band on the Run was remastered. Now, comes McCartney and McCartney II.

Here are the trailers:

Oh, I am definitely picking up McCartney. That's one of my favorite albums of his. Very sparse, and just a great little carefree pop album.

Now McCartney II I've actually never listened to. I heard it was crap, so I never got my hands on a copy.

 

[Catman]

McCartney II is hit-or-miss, but there's definitely some great tracks in there.

when it comes to mccartney solo, i never ventured past mccartney and ram.

I havent listened to any full mccartney albums, just a greatest hits-cd someone burned for me. his discography is so huge, its kinda intimidating. When it comes to solo beatles, I've only listened to all of johns stuff.

Dude, you gotta get george's "all things must pass". Without a doubt the greatest effort by any solo beatle.

 

[Mr.Webs]

The way I see it, the first two solo albums were fantastic, but then I heard some of his stuff after that and save for Band On The Run and Tug Of War, any of his work between 1972-1994 is pretty much hit and miss, like Catman said.

I don't know what happened, but from Off The Ground onwards, Paul has been killing it. Flaming Pie, Unplugged, Run Devil Run, Memory Almost Full all good to great albums, then there's his work with the Firemen which sounded really fresh. And in my opinion, next to Ram, 2005's Chaos & Creation In The Backyard might be his best album. So, if anything Motown, pick up Chaos. That one is a work of art.
