From the liner notes:

This amazing 3-CD-set offers about 4 hours and almost 100 songs that Paul McCartney recorded during the last two and a half years. NOT on this set are the five special poem readings that McCartney did in 2001, the common Driving Rain album, the many many spoken words for radio and TV and the 27 live shows he did during April and May 2002. Otherwise you won’t find a musical snippet, mix, TV show, guest appearance or anything else that is not on this set.
