Title: Deconstructing the Egg: The Significance of Back to the Egg in Paul McCartney’s Archive Collection

- "Coming Up" (Live in Concert): Wait—Coming Up wasn't on Back to the Egg? Correct. But this version (recorded in Glasgow) predates the McCartney II studio take. It’s rawer, rockier, and features Linda on Moog bass pedals.

- "Never Tell" (demo): A stripped-down, acoustic version of a song that would later be reworked for the album.

- "Look at Me" (live): A raucous live performance featuring McCartney and Wings at the Nassau Coliseum in 1979.
