About
From paulmccartney.com, December 2016:
Paul: ‘Pure McCartney’ was good to release. I like that album. I have to give Nancy Jeffries from our New York office a lot of credit for that, because it was her idea originally. She said she’d been on a drive and she compiled a mixtape sort of thing. She thought it was so nice, listening to these songs you didn’t listen to normally. So I liked that. We worked together, and she did most of the work. I made a couple of suggestions on sequencing and things. I agreed that it was a nice idea, if you’re going on a long journey. And a few people wrote to me and said, “We’ve just been on a long journey and we played the album”.
I think that worked, and it was interesting for me to hear things like ‘Arrow Through Me’, which I hadn’t heard forever! It was nice to just hear them. I remember Abe’s [Abe Laboriel Jr., the drummer from Paul’s touring band] brother brought that into a session they did this year, “Have you heard this?” And Abe hadn’t heard it, and they were grooving away. It’s a pretty funky little thing.

About track 11, the version on this compilation is actually another version of the song. It's much quieter compared to the album version, although it's just normalized to a quieter volume rather than a real unmaster.
I would just like to ask…where is Mull of Kintyre on the tracklisting? I have seen the standard version bear the track
As seen here on track 15: https://open.spotify.com/album/6pLUd5MUqSi2rBKyUV7ICa?si=WVBgHjjqRlycRnzKubbCFw
