Notes

Paul McCartney - Rarities and Duets 2000-2011
(A Stereo Hysteria Compilation, SH002)

This compilation spans the past decade of Macca's extracurricular activities, including songs from soundtracks, tribute albums, b-sides, and collaborations with other artists. It's sequenced chronologically, but it flows remarkably well. From the Buddy Holly covers that bookend the tracklisting to the set of Chaos and Creation b-sides (4 great songs that highlight Paul's experimental side), it collects almost all the recent scattered non-album official releases. The only major omission I can think of is "(I Want To) Come Home." I still haven't found a lossless copy of it, and the promotional single is still pretty exorbitant on eBay - if anyone has a copy of this or any other tracks I may have missed, please fill in the blanks!
