Paul McCartney pleased with 'Years' DVD

LONDON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- British pop icon Sir Paul McCartney was pleasantly surprised by the vast amount of material available for his new DVD, "The McCartney Years."

The three-disc set features videos from throughout his solo career along with live footage and a newly recorded commentary track by McCartney. The former Beatle says he was "dreading" the project initially but is thrilled with the results.

"I thought, 'Oh, no, God -- there's not enough good stuff yet,' " McCartney explains. "But looking at it, I think some of the stuff I was a bit scared of I didn't need to be scared off. Especially as it's all been re-polished and buffed up, it looks at its shiny best and sounds good, they seem to stand up quite well.

"Once you see it all en mass, it's particularly warming."

In addition to the DVD, McCartney has released an expanded edition of his latest album, "Memory Almost Full," featuring three bonus tracks and a DVD with videos and footage from a June concert in London.
