Loving this project, Joe! If you need any kind of help, let me know! I’ve done just a teensy bit of research on Paul and his music…
Ram, Red Rose Speedway and Band on the Run are my early favorites. Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, Memory Almost Full, and New are my late favorites.
Tripping… Highlights! should be here too. Includes All My Trials, unlike the main album.
Last few years, I’ve tried to listen to much as I can of his albums, singles, b sides, live shows, unreleased, bootlegs, outtakes demos, etc. I’ve tried to catch up on his experimental and newer works. Much of it is truly astonishing in its stylistic breadth and there’s many great and unknown or forgotten deep cut gems throughout the decades. “Maybe I’m amazed” at the “end of the end” of my listening journey. I’d always liked his music and realized it’s criminally underrated by critics and much of the public but I was truly blown away.
