The first greatest hits compilation that covers his whole career (so far) Paul Carrack has lent his voice to many bands, from Ace to Squeeze, from the supergroup Spin 1ne 2wo to, of course, Mike + The Mechanics.

Greatest Hits – The Story So Far The title already reveals that this is not meant to be a “that’s it”-greatest hits album, but that it represents what Paul has done “so far”. Last year Paul asked the fans on his website to suggest track lists for a Greatest Hits album, then chose what made sense (and was available) – and the outcome are the 19 tracks on The Story So Far. The songs were put in a chronological order. Some songs were obviously indispendable: The Ace hit How Long is one of them, since it is the song with which it all began and the one song Paul is guaranteed to play at his shows even today. His time in Squeeze was another success; their hit Tempted is included here. A minor hit and a number of remarkable reviews were the outcome of Paul’s solo breakthrough album Suburban Voodoo.

Its single, I Need You, made it into this compilation. Soon after that Paul joined Mike Rutherford’s new side project, the Mechanics.

Initially the Mechanics were a loose convention of various musicians and singers, but the first album became a big success and Silent Running is still one of the biggest Mechanics hits. Mike + The Mechanics did not become a full time project for Paul, and so he kept releasing solo albums, the more so since he did not write any songs for the early Mechanics records. His solo album One Good Reason was a small success and produced a couple of classics: The title song, which is not included in the compilation, and Don’t Shed A Tear and When You Walk In The Room, which are.

After this album he began to work on the new Mechanics album Living Years; its title song became a world-wide hit and even went to #1 in the U. Carlyle Compressor Serial Numbers. S. Single charts.
