NOTE: I have this deluxe editon and it is *only* a 1xCD set! All the cuts are on *one* CD. It just includes a huge booklet detailing the contents.

Essential post-Beatle McCartney material. His singing with Costello on the '87 demo tracks is superb. The songwriting is very good to excellent. Too bad he didn't let Costello produce "Flowers In The Dirt.' The other tracks range from interesting ('95 duets) to envigorating ("Step Inside Love"). A must for Costello fans too.

Mine is a single CD with an extensive booklet.
This is an excellent document of the McCartney/Costello efforts...too bad there haven't been more. Tommy's Coming Home should be released by someone; it's a great song. 25 Fingers isn't bad either. The other demos are fine, with the voices blending so well... You Want Her Too is especially good. By the way does anyone else have a dropout of sound on My Brave Face? It ruins a great track on mine.
Step Inside Love and the other Elvis material are icing on the cake and beyond for both Beatle and Costello fans.
This is a great CD.
