Once again, sitting on a potential goldmine. Neither the Remix nor Instrumental versions (both mixed by Jellybean Benitez) of "Say Say Say"??? Well, I guess it was ONLY Billboard's #3 single of 1984 and featured the "King Of Pop" Michael Jackson - so no real reason to bother with them, right? I've never bought a Paul McCartney CD in my life, but would have happily forked out some cash just for those two mixes.

I usually think complaining about these track listings is a futile waste of time - the record companies have already made their choices. But in situations like this, where omissions are glaringly obvious, it just has to be pointed out!

Wondering if the new 2015 remix of Say Say Say is a reconstructed version. It clocks in at nearly 7min.

Say Say Say 12″ mixes would have sold me on Pipes… and consider the main album good, but not worth purchasing twice on its own. So yes, I am also disappointed (and surprised) that the Say, Say, Say remixes, and the alternate Koala Bear were not included, plus the cancelled b-side of The Man and any 12″ related bonuses to it. This is a shame – especially when so many bonuses were on Venus & Mars.

Thank you 'Sir' Paul
