Notes

It was released in1988, when the original "Choba B CCP" album was very hard to find for people this side of the "iron curtain". It contain the second 13 songs edition from this rare album, the sound is good, not like the official CD released on september 30, 1991. The bonus tracks are from british TV shows.

This album of rock & roll oldies — "Lucille," "Twenty Flight Rock," and others — was recorded in two days in July, 1987, and released exclusively in the Soviet Union in 1988. It finally saw release in the U.S. in 1991 with one extra track, "I'm in Love Again," added. McCartney gives a spirited reading to the songs, which, it may be noted, are in some cases ("Ain't That a Shame," "Just Because") the same ones chosen by John Lennon for his similar Rock 'N' Roll album. But McCartney is characteristically more eclectic, including such ringers as "Summertime" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."
