Free Music Review: Paul At His Creative Peak
Hit: 4 Stars
The movie isn't so good. It's easy to see that Paul was going for something that would attain a cult status ... but the movie actually doesn't have enough music or enough pacing to make that team (Rocky Horror Pic Show might be short of dreadful, but you can dance to it and it moves at a dizzying pace). But the star of this vehicle is the music ... and it is terrific. Paul re-imagines some of The Beatles stuff and seamlessly blends his own stuff in. I don't agree with one reviewer who called the solo efforts 'tepid'. In fact, these songs showcase Paul at his creative and melodic peak. 'So Bad' is a stand-out, as is his medly. The absolute best is the disco-fied version of 'No More Lonely Nights' that thrums through the end credits ... it evokes Paul with Wings in the 70s, but adds that oh-so-special 80s take on the music. The movie is worth watching to hear the music. But all things being equal, just buy this terrific soundtrack and make your own movie in your mind.Free Music Review: Forget the movie, buy the album!

A must for solo McCartney fans. Not a must for Beatles fans! Why? Because it is hard to recreate perfection. The new Beatle arrangements can't hold a candle to the originals. I think the new versions of Paul's songs from Tug of War and Pipes of Peace are even better than the original versions. "Ballroom Dancing" and "So Bad" are much fuller in instruments and vocals. "Not Such a Bad Boy" and "No Values" are rock and roll gems sandwiched between mushy pop efforts such as "No More Lonely Nights." This album was out of print for a very long time, and I was happy to see the cd come back in 1991. I am sure McCartney cringes at the film, but looks back with pride over the soundtrack. If you liked Pipes of Peace and Tug of War you will like these arrangements.Free Music Review: Interesting Soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
Give My Regards To Broad Street is a laughable bad movie that's not quite sure if it's a movie or a long music video. The soundtrack is a much more interesting affair. It contains a couple new songs, but what's it interesting are the reworkings of several Beatles songs and Paul McCartney solo work. In many cases (especially on the solo songs) the reworkings surpass the originals. Most notably are "Silly Love Songs", "Ballroom Dancing", "So Bad" and "The Long & Winding Road". Some of the other songs like "Yesterday", "Good Day Sunshine" and "Here, There & Everywhere" are not bad, but they don't change much from the originals. "No More Lonely Nights" in it's slowed down version is a great song (avoid the dance version).Free Music Review: Very well Orchestrated

Give my regards to Broad Street is actually a soundtrack for the movie with the same name.
McCartney uses several Beatles songs and solo songs on this album.
He puts new life into songs like, Yesterday, Here , There and Everywhere and For No One.
McCartney uses an orchestra, and much of the music is done very nicely on Violins, Cellos, and other insturments.
One song on this CD that really sounds good to me is Wanderlust.To me McCartney has always been at his best when he sounds British.
Even though this is a soundtrack dont let that scare you, you will be glad you bought it.........enjoy
Free Music Review: good soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
The movie didn't make it, but this soundtrack is very good. I totally don't agree with everyone who puts down the No More Lonely Nights reprise, Paul shows that he can take a song and change it to a totally different song, and one thats funky and soulful at that! This album contains my favorite version of The Long And Winding Road, it's just so soulful and smooth. A good soundtrack from the master songwriter of the millenium!!
