This cd shows you what Paul McCartney could do when he was trying to impress John Lennnon with his solo work. The recording quality is simple and lean, but very pure, with some good guitar work from outside help.  The bass was a little low in the mix compared to today's recordings and the vocals  are prominent and drenched in reverb, the  mode of the day.  He even has Linda singing harmony and she did a good job for being drafted into the studio and no prior experience.  It is better than alot of the current records, which are compressed to the max, and filled with overkill.  This was a very happy time for Paul, when he'd finally found his "wings" after the Beatles.  The song Too Many People was thought to be a critique of John Lennon, (you took your lucky break and broke it in two) and John fired back with the acerbic,  How Do You Sleep? on his Imagine album, where George played a wicked slide guitar.  It is a piece of Beatles history that started on this early post-Beatles album.
