Description
Macca's second official compilation album after 1978's Wings Greatest. This two-record set was released in 1987 and remains sealed. The corners are still sharp, and there's no ringwear front or back. The album contains tracks from the beginning of his solo career in 1970 through the mid-80s. Technically, All the Best! was the first compilation of McCartney's solo material, since Wings Greatest covered songs released under the Wings aegis. With the U.S. version of All the Best!, which has four different songs than its British counterpart, the balance shifts toward the positive, since it simply boasts a better selection of songs. Yes, "Once Upon a Long Ago," the single offered as bait on the British All the Best!, isn't here, but it's not missed since two of the four songs exclusive to the American version are among McCartney's best solo singles ("Junior's Farm," "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey") and the other two are good adult contemporary easy listening (the previously non-LP "Goodnight Tonight," "With a Little Luck"). These songs add to the retrospective. As a cross section of McCartney's solo singles, this is very, very good. It may be a little heavy on the schmaltz at times, yet this is still mainstream pop craft of the highest order. Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any questions.
