Cataloging the CD's of Paul McCartney:
The CD releases of McCartney have been under a variety of guises with no constant catalogue numbering.
Originally EMI intended them to follow the album numbering, simply preceeded by the letters "CD" (indeed, some do), but on the initial release EMI had grand thoughts of globalization with a common numbering scheme and numbered the first
"CDP 7 46018 2". This format is the International numbering style.
For the U.K. releases though, this standard was never maintained, particularly with the issues that appeared on the "Fame"
label. Consequently, the number I show is that found on the original release, and more importantly the one shown in the
EMI Catalogue and as used by dealers in the U.K. when ordering the product. The number variations, including the
International catalogue number, will appear in the detail of each release as I do them.
