About

From the liner notes:

Okay, so this was not supposed to be the next set. The next set I had intended to put out was something else, but I discovered late in the game that I still needed something to complete it. So I went onto ebay and ordered the CD which contained the track I needed. I am now awaiting its arrival. So in the meantime, I still needed something to put together to fill in the gap (so there’s not too much time between “releases”), and I figured this would fit the bill nicely. The main album is Twin Freaks, which was released on vinyl + download in 2005. To augment this set, I’ve added all the Wingspan releases (that were originally compiled on an excellent boot CD back in 2001), along with any other “remixed” Macca tracks from the era (such as the Radio Slave versions of Temporary Secretary and the Noir & Kruse remixes of Silly Love Songs). The point here was to make this a one-stop shopping place to obtain all the Macca remixes that were released in one way or another during this time. Keeping some of that Wingspan spirit, I have added the spoken introductions to the various songs that were found on the Wingspan promotional CD sampler. As they had no other “home”, this seemed as good a place as any to put them. As I still had a few minutes left over, I’ve added an excellent fan-remix of Let ‘Em In that was floating around the web (and yes, that track is taken from a lossless source!). Add appropriate artwork and voila! – The next release in the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive collection! If you haven’t heard this stuff, I think you might really like some of these remixes as most of them are quite good. Enjoy!!!
