By Ken Tucker

The cute coot still works hard: This double-disc memento finds McCartney-plus-four-piece putting as much vigor into drivel like ''C Moon'' as the sounds-great-in-a-stadium ''Jet.'' A rockabilly ''I Saw Her Standing There''? To paraphrase: Wooooo! But the acoustic interlude is excruciating (''Carry That Weight'' as a torch ballad). And trying to reproduce a studio-bound creation like ''Eleanor Rigby'' is, like much recent Macca music, misguided.
