Legendary EMI/Abbey Road studios engineer, he and Geoff Emerick won a Grammy for their work on Abbey Road (album) , worked on many solo beatle records (as well as other artists) and even helped with Back To The Egg.

Ngl if I ever got the chance to talk to him, my brain would probably stop working entirely but at least I wouldn’t bring THAT up

Stem remix & remaster of Paul McCartney's 1978 compilation album "Wings Greatest", made for my own enjoyment, but sharing in case someone else might enjoy it.

Of course this is all just for fun. As usual, my intention was just to make a fun alternative to the released version, aiming only at a little more clarity, instrument separation and punch, while keeping the mood and feel of the original.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like the music, support the artists. Buy their records!

5 albums I feel are overlooked by some Paul McCartney fans.

The 1918 standard, written by Turner Layton and Henry Creamer, was purchased by MPL Communications in 1976 when Paul McCartney purchased the Edwin H. Morris & Co. catalog.

The mix of electronic drums and organ predate McCartney 2, representing an early experiment with a form that he would expand a few years later.

I’ll go first: Boil Crisis. I’ve heard a few different versions of this from London Town era to early 80s I believe.

Though a rocker, hardly gets a mention. Probably because of its lyrics.

Edit: thank you I will buy it lol

Edit 2: here’s the link but it’s almost gone https://bad-world.co.uk/products/pmc

For me, it has to be the intro to the Venus and Mars album. The song Venus and Mars itself is fantastic, but the transition to Rock Show is also elite, and Rock Show’s ending riff is just so damn catchy in a very good way. I have been listening to those two songs in consecutive order on repeat.

I know I am using the most generic verbiage right now, but you know what I mean.

Six O’Clock extended version too (even though it is a Ringo song that was written by Paul)

If I was writing reviews still, I guess my headline would be "Innocuous Fluff."

vocals: I hate when Paul sings in the falsetto/breathy range. regular chest voice is OK enough.

Instrumentation: pretty basic rock band

recording: vacillates between some interesting production choices (nice revisit of backwards guitar solo and some neo-mellotron) and too-stark-for-its-own-good (reveals the weakness of his voice)

"Days We Left Behind" is Johnny Cash's version of "hurt" played sideways.

Probably not something I'll be returning too very often.

Not sure if this The Boys Of Dungeon Lane. Or the Long Ass Words Album

I think this is the first time ive ever heard this. My couple minutes on google, I can only find a couple sites repeating this same brief story.

"A few days into Paul’s jail stay, a 29-year-old man named Kenneth Lambert turned up at a Miami Airport reservation counter and demanded a ticket to fly to Japan to “free Paul.” He had no money or identification. An argument ensued, with Lambert pulling a realistic-looking toy gun from his pocket. A policeman on the scene shot the young man dead.”

Would you remove or add any songs? Change the tracklist or replace certain tracks with songs from the same era? What would you do to make the album even better?

You can spot me in this video for a brief moment! It was such a fantastic day.

UK based Blood Records (Bad World) now has announced the release of The Boys From Dungeon Lane Special Edition on Liquid Splatter vinyl. They look so cool! (though I am skeptical about the sound quality and its longevity of liquid vinyl😅)

Hurry!

I was honestly blown away by this album, a late career masterpiece. This album is deep and it's so well produced, and obviously Radiohead's fingerprints are all over this album with Nigel Godrich as the producer (I say this as someone who also likes Radiohead a lot). This MIGHT be my second favorite solo album from Paul right next to RAM. Also, I felt like this was the closest to "John and George esque" music that Paul got on a full album with all the introspection and darker subject matters song after song.

I find it amazing that the narrative to many people is that he was the least experimental Beatle compared to George and John. Yet, he was trying out all sorts of sonically interesting stuff with The Beatles and was the first one of the Fab 4 to truly dive into the avant garde scene. FURTHERMORE, his solo discography ended up being way more experimental than the other three ever did post breakup. So where did this notion/impression of Paul not being as experimental with his music as John or George come from? Was it the "granny music" allegations (even though the "granny songs" like Honey Pie, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm 64, etc, were just a very small portion of his Beatles output)?

Help me with a family argument. I think “Maybe” is correct for the first line of the song (duh). My wife thinks Apple Lyrics “Baby” is correct.
