McCartney continues the charm offensive for his Memory Almost Full album with a six-song digital EP, recorded at the London stop of his short, intimate-venue tour this summer. These shows were the kind of small, heated gigs he once envisioned for the Beatles, during the Get Back sessions, and the strong, simple electricity I felt at McCartney's New York show comes through here in the garage-spirit thrashings of"Coming Up,""Jet" and Memory's""Only Mama Knows."Unfortunately, you don't get any Beatles songs on this EP, even though there were plenty in the set lists. The closest McCartney comes is the coy look back over his shoulder, "That Was Me." But that will do until he puts out of those shows in full. (David Fricke)
