This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Like last year’s reissued soundtrack of Paul McCartney’s Unplugged gig, this new set — his first since wife Linda’s death — finds Big Mac again revisiting the music of his youth. Only this time he’s gone all the way back to the pre-Fab Four days.
Backed by a weird team of top-shelf musicians — including Deep Purple’s Ian Paice on drums and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on guitar — Paul joyously bashes and jams his way through an equally oddball set of semi-obscure classics such as Gene Vincent’s Blue Jean Bop, Larry Williams’ She Said Yeah, Elvis Presley’s I Got Stung and the like. No, there isn’t much substance here. But it’s not as if McCartney hasn’t paid his musical dues; let him have a little fun.
