All the Best? 16 Dec 2011
By Andrew Whitby TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Paul McCartney first of all in my own humble opinion is one of the Twentieth Centuries greatest Musicians, Songwriters and Entertainers.

Because of this it was always going to be difficult to create a greatest hits package that would do Macca justice. On one CD there just isn't enough room to fill the man's prolific output and some of the choices made on the disc aren't neccesarily McCartney's best songs (We All Stand Together?). Notable missing songs on this collection are; Juniors Farm, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey and Helen's Wheels.

This is a good album nevertheless but it is worth getting Paul's other compilation album 'Wingspan' which fills in a lot of the blanks in this collection.

The song list for All the Best is;

Jet
Band on the Run
Coming Up
Ebony & Ivory
Listen to What the Man Said
No More Lonely Nights
Silly Love Songs
Let Em In
C Moon
Pipes of Peace
Live and Let Die
Another Day
Once Upon a Long Time Ago
Say Say Say
My Love
We All Stand Together
Mull Of Kintyre

By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
None of the ex-Beatles achieved the same level of success as solo singers that they had achieved while together but Paul's solo career was very successful by any other standards. Paul recorded mostly ballads but he could rock too, as he showed with songs like Jet and Band on the run.

It is not possible to include all of Paul's hits on a single CD but all the tracks here were British top ten hits. Eleven of them made the UK top three including three number ones (Mull of Kintyre, Pipes of Peace, Ebony and ivory),while others peaked at number two. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey topped the American chart but, like Maybe I'm amazed, didn't chart in Britain so isn't included here.

Some UK top ten hits were left out for lack of space, including Mary had a little lamb, With a little luck (a top five UK hit and an American chart-topper), Goodnight tonight, Wonderful Christmastime, Waterfalls and The girl is mine (with Michael Jackson). Also missing are Paul's top twenty UK hits including Give Ireland back to the Irish, Helen wheels, Junior's farm and Take it away.

So it would have been easy to fill a double CD with Paul's hits but his more recent compilation, Wingspan (a double CD) missed that opportunity, instead containing one hits CD and one CD of mostly album tracks with a few hits. Nevertheless, the hits selection on Wingspan is different and the most obvious omissions from this set can be found there.

Of the tracks that are here, my favourites are Mull of Kintyre (complete with bagpipes), No more lonely nights (a superb ballad), Let 'em in, Pipes of peace, My love, Another day and his duet with Stevie Wonder, Ebony and ivory. Also worthy of note are Say say say (with Michael Jackson), Silly love songs (possibly an attack on those who criticize Paul for doing mostly ballads?), Band on the run and the James Bond theme, Live and let die.

Considering the many great tracks that have been omitted, some people will be disappointed at the inclusion of We all stand together (complete with frog chorus) but although it's not one of my favourites here, its place is justified - it was a British top three hit, after all, so a lot of people DO like it - and it's not meant to be taken seriously anyway.

Originally released in 1987, this compilation provides an excellent overview of Paul's solo music. Although he has made some interesting music since 1987 (even including classical music), it is the music he made prior to 1987 (especially with the Beatles) that ensures his place in history.

Lean 12 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD
Remarkable cover design. No way was he leaning like that i.e. so causually on a guitar and at that unlikely angle. The guitar itself is only supported by Paul (via a strap), so how can he lean on... himself? It would be aerodynamically impossible. Unfortunately it's another example of this great musical genius trying to present himself as a matey Man of the People. Everyone loves ya, Paul. You don't need to be their number #1 chum as well. As for the colour/black & white clash, it could only be the 1980s (Elton did it; everyone did it). Anyway, forget the sleeve and go straight to some of the best songs written by one of the very best Beatles.

Personal Review - Paul McCartney album, All the best
Very prompt delivery (within 48 hours by standard post) received in excellent condition, both the packaging & the cd it's self.

Would use Amazon again to purchase.

Falls short
I'm a huge Beatles fan, let me say that first off. Then let me also say, didn't Macca really lose his way back there for a while? For me, this album encapsulates what i mean. Read more

Get Wingspan instead
The two stars aren't for the quality of the artist, but for the choice of songs and the overall package. Read more

Nice mix of Macca's hits
While this isn't a perfect single disc collection (it does, after all, have Ebony & Ivory), this represents the singles side of McCartney's career fairly well. Read more
