Comments : Paul McCartney's 4th Compilation album, and forty-second release in total.
Under the MPL Communications banner, this is on the Starbucks "Hearmusic" label.

Credited to "Paul McCartney".

From The Press Release:
Paul McCartney and his music need no introduction.
Together with three of his friends, he changed the cultural landscape forever.
And Paul’s accomplishments since then as a member of Wings and a solo artist make for a
staggering body of work that stands proudly alongside those eight sensational years with The Beatles.

"Pure McCartney", is a new compilation of his solo, Wings and Fireman work, showcasing 67 highlights from
one of the most-revered catalogues in music - from "McCartney" in 1970, his debut solo album, right through to
"Hope For The Future", his 2014 track taken from "Destiny", the most-anticipated video game of the last decade.
Not only is 'Pure McCartney’ a monumental mixtape of some of popular music's most memorable moments from 1970 to the present day,
it also features curios for the superfans and some of Paul's personal favourites - all handpicked by the man himself ...

"Me and my team came up with the idea of putting together a collection of my recordings with
   nothing else in mind other than having something fun to listen to"
Paul says of this project.

The album features tracks from all of Paul's official studio albums, except for four:
Choba b CCCP, Flowers in the Dirt, Run Devil Run and Driving Rain.

With 8 tracks from it, it would appear that maybe Paul's favourite album is Flaming Pie !

Includes a 20-page booklet.
