A short excerpt from the original 1985 demo to this Titlesong of this 1986 cinema film
Your School
I Can´t Write Another Song
...and that´s where we loosen up our chronogical formula a bit. Your School is a pianodemo from 1990. I Can´t Write Another Song apparently a little ditty from 1977
Hanglide
Footprints
Two more Press To Play - outtakes and, again two McCartney-Stewart collaborations from fall 1985. The first is an adventurous instrumental, the second a sparse rough mix, not so overproduced than on the album
The Same Love
Lindiana
Return To Pepperland
A bunc of mid 80`s - outtakes, which could bave been a part of never released 1987 McCartney Album, Return To Pepperland (20 Years later...). But this Album was shelved and, consequently, many songs from the Years `84 - `87 remain unreleased. And these are just three of them....
25 Fingers
So Like Candy
Let´s make the way for the McCartney/Costello-Duo, perfroming two of their new compositions on acoustic guitar and vocals, fall 1987. This sounds great! Why didn´t do an album like this?!. 25 Fingers was never released, and So Like Candy was on Costello´s Album Mighty Like A Rose.
This One
A charming piano-based demo of this Flowers In The Dirt Track. From early 1988
We Got Married
this version was recorded during rehearsals for Paul´s 1989/90 World Tour in early 1989
Summertime
A great performance of this George Gershwin classic. Recorded Live on the first concert by the new band at a press conference an Playhouse Theatre, London, 27 July 1989.
Strawberry Fields Forever/Help!/Give Peace A Chance
Paul pays tribute to his dear friend John by performing this medley on his homecoming concert in Liverpool, King´s Dock Arena, 28 June 1990.
Big Boys Bickering
Live performance of this good old-fashioned protest song was done for MTV´s Up-close at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, New York 10 December, 1992. The song itself was a b-side to Hope of Deliverance.
Mistress and Maid
Hurray!! - a reunion from McCartney/Costello - Duo, taking place in honour of Prince Charles, St. James Palace, London, 23 March 1993.
I Saw Her Standing There
...and voila another reunion. To celebrate the end of a good century for him, Paul and his new mates return to the new Cavern Club in Liverpool to rock ´n roll. 14 December 1999
Calico Skies
We´ll end this Anthology like we started it! With our old warrior along on his acoustic guitar in 1995 a more tecent tune beside a crackling fire. Older now, his voice a bit hoarse (no wonder, after all this singing and shouting) but still around. We tip our heads in respect, Sir Paul McCartney!
We hope, you too like our Anthology!
Act 1 Justice
Music from the animated film “Daumier´s Law”, 1990
