I 2013 udsendte vores hjemlige Tim Christensen et album med titlen ”Pure McCartney”, hvor han fortolkede en stribe sange af sit idol, Paul McCartney.
Nu har McCartney-kontoret så meddelt, at mesteren selv også udsender en retrospektiv samling med samme titel den 10. juni. ”Pure McCartney” bliver udsendt i tre forskellige formater, som 2 cd, 4 cd og 4 LP, og indeholder hhv. 49, 67 og 46 sange.
40 af sangene har været Top 40-favoritter – det gælder for indlysende hits som ”Live And Let Die”, ”Maybe I’m Amazed” og ”Mull Of Kintyre” – mens andre er mere obskure, f.eks. ”Dear Boy”, ”English Tea”, ”Wanderlust” og ”Junk”.
Cover til ‘Pure McCartney’
”Jeg og mine folk fik denne idé, at lave en samling af mine sange uden anden rød tråd end, at det skulle være sjovt at lytte til”, fortæller McCartney i en pressemeddelelse.
Tidligere opsamlingsplader med Paul McCartney var ”Wings Greatest”, 1978, ”All The Best”, 1987, og ”Wingspan” i 2001. Den nye ”Pure McCartney” rækker over hele McCartneys solokarriere, fra debutalbummet ”McCartney” i 1970 over perioden med Wings og The Fireman og helt frem til sangen ”Hope For The Future”, skrevet til computerspillet ”Destiny” i 2014 og sidste års remixede version af ”Say Say Say”.
