 THE PAUL McCARTNEY ULTIMATE ARCHIVE COLLECTION
AN INTRODUCTION
In 2010, Paul McCartney released the first in an ongoing series of Archive Collection releases, Band On
The Run. Ostensibly, the series was designed to offer the definitive versions of whichever album was
being highlighted. However, it became immediately apparent that Paul McCartney (and his team) had
different ideas from most fans as to what material needed to be included on his sets. There was no attempt
whatsoever to make these sets “complete” or “definitive” by any stretch, as countless important tracks
(both released and unreleased) went left by the wayside, leaving vast amounts of real estate on the bonus
CDs unused. Nine titles into the series as of late 2015, and for many the series has been a disappointment.
It has become a popular game on some forums to guess what Paul & Co. will leave off the next release. It
was into this ongoing disappointment that The Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection was born.

The goal of the series is a simple one: to issue versions of every Paul McCartney album (including side
project albums such as McGear and Holly Days) that will include, as bonus tracks, EVERY song / mix /
edit that was released from that particular era, including an extremely healthy dose of unreleased tracks
thrown in to provide insight to Paul’s recording process for a given album. The idea is to present these
albums as Paul should have done with his Archive series. Paul McCartney is arguably the single greatest
composer who ever lived. While his work with The Beatles will always be rightfully praised and held up
as the gold standard for the possibilities of recorded popular music, his solo catalog should also be given
the respect that it deserves. That’s the basic premise of this series.

With that in mind, it opens the door to a lot of fun musical treats along the way. Songs that may have gone
unheard by a large number of Paul McCartney fans simply due to their rarity. Once finished, the series
will offer a complete and comprehensive collection of Paul McCartney solo recordings, including every
rare song, mix and edit that has been issued somewhere in the world. Sound quality is also very important
to this series, and the discs do not disappoint in the slightest. Every track has been sourced for the best
quality available. Vinyl rips have all been done with the care and attention to quality that this series
demands. Simply put, these songs have never sounded better.

Care and attention to detail has also been given to the packaging, with original front and rear covers
replicating the original LP, and the discs themselves utilizing the original vinyl LP labels. Over the course
of this series, several albums have been created to document important moments in Paul’s career (such as
the One Hand Clapping soundtrack, the MTV Up Close performance from December ’92, or The Space
Within Us – an audio document of Paul’s 2003-2005 live performances). For these titles, appropriate
cover artwork and disc labels have been created so that they could stand alongside the released albums.

The series began with Flowers In The Dirt in May 2015. Eight months later, there are 30 titles available.
The series is expected to wrap up in May 2016, with a multi-disc Rarities set to incorporate any leftover
tracks that couldn’t fit onto their respective titles due to space considerations. This is a series that was
long in the planning stages (various permutations of this series have been planned for close to twenty
years). It is with great pride that we here at Voo-Doo Records are able to make this series a reality.

THE FAMILY WAY

!

For the time, I am home (home), home (home), HOOOOOOMMMMMEEE! Or I will be in a few hours! But first things first,
or should I say first and second things first and second? 'Cause yes, it's another double-shot, and this one comes from the very
beginning of Paul's solo career.

First up is The Family Way. This one has a long and convoluted history that I don't have the time nor energy to go into here.
Suffice it to say that this set includes the stereo and mono mixes taken from the best sources available. For the stereo, it was a
lossless download that came out a few years ago (which is WAY better than the 2003 CD issue which featured a feeble needle
drop of the LP). Speaking of needle drops, there was an exquisite one done of an original NM mono pressing which sounds
absolutely terrific. This is what I've included here. To add to the pot, I've included all the various 45 versions of both Love In
The Open Air + Theme From The Family Way that have popped up, all in excellent quality. To top it off, I've included three of
the nine "Variations" from the 1995 "re-interpretation" by Carl Aubut. I would have liked to include all nine, but had no space
to do so. As this release basically amounts to a "covers album", it doesn't trouble me greatly to not have the entire release
included here. To close out the disc, I have included all three re-interpretations of The Family Way Theme (Samba / Waltz /
Rondeau) that were done in 1999 by La Flute Enchantee, and included on that 2003 CD. While there have been many different
versions of The Family Way released through the years, this should hopefully be the final version anyone would ever need.

NOTES:
1-13 – stereo mix of The Family Way – Based on a 15 second piano piece ‘written’ by Paul McCartney, George Martin wrote
24 musical cues for the film soundtrack. They were recorded by the George Martin Orchestra, augmented by studio musicians
on organ, brass, drums and bass, with conductor Neville Marriner during three sessions in November 1966, in the CTS Studios,
London. Out of these cues 13 tracks were assembled for the soundtrack album, with six of the tracks banding together a
number of shorter musical cues.
The soundtrack album was released on January 6, 1967 in the UK (Decca SLK 4847) and June 12, 1967 in the USA (London
Records S 82007). All tracks were untitled.
The remastered stereo mix was released on cd on July 25, 2011 (Varèse Sarabande - VSD-7095 (Europe) and Varèse Sarabande
- 302 067 095 2 (US)).

14 - Theme From The Family Way - see 28. This stereo mix was first released on the above cd as bonus track.

15-27 – mono mix of the above album, released on vinyl the same days as the stereo version. The mono mix was first released
on cd on July 22, 2003 (XXI-21 Productions Inc. - CD 2 1468).

28 - Theme From The Family Way – mono mix of 14.

To tie in with the British premiere of the film, Decca Records released a mono single on December 23, 1966 (Decca F-12536):
‘Love In The Open Air’/’ Theme from The Family Way’ by The Tudor Minstrels. The groups name is a reference to Tudor
Films, the production company of John Boulting, twin brother of the director Roy Boulting.
The a-side is simply track 6 of the album, but the b-side is a composite of tracks 1 & 13.
In the US, the single (London 45-1012) is released on January 24, 1967.

29-30 – both sides of a single (United Artists UP 1165) by George Martin And His Orchestra, released on December 21, 1966
in the UK These are different arrangements of both tracks of the Decca single, rush recorded especially on December 15, 1966
in E.M.I. Recording Studio on Abbey Road.

31-32 – both sides of a single (United Artists UA 50148) by George Martin And His Orchestra, released on April 24, 1967 in
the US. These are new recordings. The b-sde is a Martin composition unrelated to the film, while the a-side is an faster
arrangement. Recorded at E.M.I. over three days in early February 1967.

33-35 – On December 5, 1995 the album was released for the first time on cd (officially, that is) in Canada and the US. For
The Family Way – Variations Concertantes Opus 1 (Or W. Woolf – ORWCD-28), the 22 minute soundtrack was augmented
by some variations by a classical guitarist from Quebec Carl Aubut.These were recorded from February 1994 on with the
Claudel String Quartet. Paul McCartney approved the release. In Europe the cd was released on June 20, 1996.

36-38 – On May 9, 2000 Sir Paul McCartney's Liverpool (ACD22137 ATMA Classique ) was released. It contained four
recording of works by McCartney, transcribed for flute quartet. These performances by La Flûte Enchantée, were recorded at
Eglise Saint-Augustin-de-Mirabel, Quebec, on August 20-22, 1997. From this release, three more variations on ‘The Family
Way Theme’ by Anthony Rozankovic , were also released on the more common version of The Family Way, in July 2003
(Polygram 528922).

As for McCartney, Paul's actual debut album from 1970, the original Archive release included a lot of extras, but nothing really
new from the era (save for a longer version of Suicide and an Instrumental version of Oo You, entitled Don't Cry Baby). To
that, I've added a few demos from the era and an instrumental version of Maybe I'm Amazed to round out the disc. I should
note that while the Archive version (which I've used for the album, taken from down sampled versions of the unlimited hi-res
audio) generally sounds better than the DCC release, there were a few anomalies where I patched in the DCC. For one, the
Archive version of Maybe I'm Amazed cuts off close to four seconds at the fade, so that is included here. Also, Kreen-Akrore
sounds like noise reduction has been applied to the Archive version, whereas on the DCC set it sounds much more natural. So,
I've opted to include the DCC version here. Anyhoo, that wraps it up for this edition of the UAC series, which I believe is now
up to 24 titles! We're getting there!! I hope y'all enjoy this one and enjoy the holiday as well! See ya when I get back home...

NOTES:
1-14 – McCartney album
Because was essentially barred from accessing any tape of Apple Records, he had no choice but to keep any recording a secret.
So he hired one mike and a Studer 4-track machine to record at home, completely on his own: no technician and no musicians.
Work started in late December 1969.
Later he booked time (February 10 to 12, 1970) in the Morgan Studios in Willesden, as Billy Martin (a baseman and later
manager of the New York Yankees) and once Ringo had left the EMI building on Abbey Road, he finished the recordings and
mixing there.
Klein, helped by Lennon, tried to postpone the release of Paul's solo album at least twice, but eventually it was released more
or less as planned on, released on April 17, 1970.

15-17 – demo’s, probably recorded in July 1971, during the first rehearsals with the band that soon would be called Wings.

18 - Maybe I'm Amazed - One Hand Clapping version, recorded in August 1974 and released on June 13, 2011 on McCartney -
Paul McCartney Archive Collection

19-21 – live version with Wings, recorded in the Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, on December 17, 1979 and released on McCartney -
Paul McCartney Archive Collection

22 - Suicide – complete version of the 8 seconds fragment used on the album. Recorded on February 21, 1970 in the EMI
studio on Abbey Road.
23 - Don’t Cry Baby – alt. take of ‘Oo You’, recorded in December 1969 and released on McCartney - Paul McCartney Archive
Collection
24- Maybe I'm Amazed - instrumental version, probably created from tracks available at Paul McCartney's New Rude Studio in
2012.
25 - Woman Kind - undated demo, released on McCartney - Paul McCartney Archive Collection

"This is WORK, woman! This is WORK!!!!" And, so it is. But it is FUN work at least, and it is a distinct pleasure to offer up
the 1971 classic (and my personal favorite) 'Ram' as the next title in the Ultimate Archive Collection. Okay, so the immediate
question is how is this different from Paul's own Archive release? Well, I managed to get the audio onto three tightly packed
CDs, rather than on four CDs that barely use up half of their storage capacity. I did make the editorial decision to not include a
few tracks from the official Archive set, as I felt they would much better fit in on 'Wild Life'. So, if you're looking for Little
Woman Love, The Great Cock And Seagull Race, or the live versions of Eat At Home and Smile Away, you'll have to wait
patiently (though I'm quite sure that I'll have my 'Wild Life' out long before Paul has HIS! )

So what DID I include then? Well, let's start with the basics: each disc has it's own theme. Disc one has the main album with
bonuses, disc two has the mono album with bonuses and disc three has Thrillington with bonuses. Simple enough. So what are
the bonuses then? Obviously there's everything from the official Archive (barring the tracks mentioned above). There's also
(YAY!) extremely clean needle drops of the mono promo Another Day / Oh Woman, Oh Why 45 (thanks again, Charlie), along
with the superb RMW 'drop of the Brung To Ewe By record. How superb is it? Far BETTER than what Paul wound up using as
menu music on the DVD that came with the Archive set, that's how! For some strange reason, on that DVD, Paul & Co. used a
noisy needle drop of the record rather than going back to the original tape, which he presumably still has. Anyway, RMW's

!19
sounds better, so I've incorporated it here... Also of note are the five instrumental tracks of songs from the sessions, including a
freshly mixed to stereo version of Monkberry Moon Delight, which was available to mix (in mono only) for a little while on
Paul's own site. I've taken the individual tracks and mixed them to stereo. You can hear the results on this set. I've included both
released versions (standard and promo edit) of the 'In Laws' version of A Love For You, along with the Cold Cuts version,
slightly re-eqed to match the rest of the tracks here. Finally, I've included for fun (and 'cause I had just enough space) a re-edit
of Ram On that uses both sections, edited together. There's a slight change in ambiance at the switch that couldn't be avoided as
the two sections are mixed slightly differently. For the coup de grace, I tacked on the last couple of seconds of the mono mix,
which is slightly longer, to make this the most complete version currently available. Whew!

For those who may have been expecting 'Off The Ground' and/or 'Up Close', based on things I've asked for, please note that
from time to time, I might ask for items (be it tracks, artwork, or what have you) as I plan out the long range releases - I'm
always thinking of the next several titles that are coming out. Please don't EXPECT any particular album to come next, they
will come in the order they do, hopefully without rhyme or reason! Anyway, if you're able to curb your disappointment in not
getting 'Off The Ground' (or, apparently 'The Family Way' ), and try to enjoy THIS set, maybe we'll all be a lot happier.

One final note, for those of you who enjoy the artwork as well - especially the disc labels - I have to say that these three labels
are the most satisfying one's I have made so far. Just as a Beatles record-collecting geek, it was oh so gratifying to put together
my own release on the Apple label! Okay, without further ado, here is the latest release, the twelfth in the series thus far (the
"Dirty Dozen", so to speak), 'Ram'!

WILD LIFE

!24
This is something I am in the end stages of working on. I will upload here once I complete this title. The goal here was simple:
to "release" the ultimate versions of every single Paul McCartney album that included as bonus tracks a) every released song/
mix/edit, and b) any significant outtakes (with upgraded sound wherever possible). To do this, I needed lots of time as I am still
working a regular job and living a regular life (just like y'all). This is something I've been doing in my spare time, although it is
a project that is still very near and dear to my heart. It's something that I've wanted to do for years and years and the time
seemed right. That said, there were some items I needed to acquire to complete my own collection (so that I was able to present
it on these CDs). You guys have been amazing, going above and beyond to help me (and, by extension, "us") complete my
("our") collection, and for that I am eternally grateful. These have not been uploaded in any particular order, as my goal was to
have fun with this thing and keep y'all interested till the very end. As it stands, I certainly surpassed the objective of getting at
least three titles out per month, with full cover and disc art.

NOTES:
In the Summer of 1971, Paul was eager to go back on the road. But in order to do that, he needed a band. He was very happy
with the American musicians who had helped him to record Ram, so drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Hugh McCracken

!25
were natural choices. Although she wasn’t eager to do it, Paul absolutely wanted his wife to join the band.
He sensed a second guitar player was needed, preferably someone who could sing. So, he thought of Denny Laine –someone
he knew from way back, when he was the singer of The Moody Blues.
Denny got a phone call on July 17, 1971 and arrived at Paul’s High Park home in Campbeltown, Scotland the next day.
After just a week of rehearsals, they start recording in Abbey Road’s Studio Two… without McCracken, who flew back to New
York. As there has been criticism about the elaborate arrangements on some of the Ram songs, Paul went this time for very
spontaneous songs: preferably first takes. The band is in the studio for just four days.
A few weeks later, on September 13, Linda gives birth to Stella. While in hospital Paul thinks of name for his new band:
Wings.

CD 1
Tracks 1-10 – Wings debut album Wild Life, released on December 7, 1971 in the U.K. and on December 6, 1971 in the U.S..
The original UK vinyl had only 8 tracks, as two short instrumental tracks (‘Bip Bop Link’ and ‘Mumbo Link’) weren’t
mentioned separate, like on the 1993 cd The Paul McCartney Collection remaster.

‘Love Is Strange’ is allegedly the first reggae song recorded by Caucasian artists. It’s a cover of a song from country singers
Mickey and Sylvia, from 1956. It was planned to be released as a single, in January 1972 backed with ‘I Am Your Singer’. The
single didn’t get a release in the U.K., but in Mexico both songs were put on an EP, together with ‘Tomorrow’ and ‘Mumbo’.

11 - Give Ireland Back to the Irish - recorded on February 1, 1972 in the SARM West Studios, in Nottinghill, London, with
new guitarist Henry McCullough. It is a protest against the incidents in Londonderry on January 30,1972, when British soldiers
killed 13 unarmed people protesting against the British involvement in Northern Ireland. It is released as Wings debut single,
on February 26, 1972.
12 - Give Ireland Back to the Irish (version) - instrumental, released as the b-side of the above. Paul and Linda were very fond
of reggae music, where it was customary to put an instrumental version on the b-side of a single.

13 - Mary Had a Little Lamb – in an effort to write a rock song for children, Paul put a nursery rhyme of nineteenth-century
American origin, to music. Basis track recorded in January 1972, with brand new Wings guitarist Henry McCullough on
mandolin. Overdubs added in March 1972. Released as the second Wings single, on May 12, 1972, in the U.K. and May 29,

"Take your time... take mine too!" Boy, these things have taken a lot of time, haven't they? They have sure taken my time to
create them, and yours as well to download, listen (and hopefully ENJOY), and then await the next one! Well, the wait is over!
Red Rose Speedway Ultimate Archive is here!

I knew fairly early into my "break" that I was gonna come back with this one. I wanted the first one to be special and it is. For
the first disc, in addition to the album proper (with the medley songs FINALLY given their own track breaks), I've included as
a bonus every song that was planned for the original 2-LP set of Red Rose Speedway in early '73. As I had a few minutes extra,
I added Live And Let Die at the end, which made a fitting closer and also made sense as its B-side (I Lie Around) was also on
the disc. There was a small temptation to program the disc to play the sequence of the 2-LP set, but I wanted to maintain the
integrity of the album as originally released. However, if you'd like to hear the album as originally intended, program disc one
to play in this order: 13, 3, 14, 1, 2, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17, 18, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 4, 21, 5, and (as the bonus) 22. For this disc's
bonus cuts, I made sure to use the original '73 mixes (as opposed to later mixes made for Cold Cuts and beyond) which all
appear on disc two.

Speaking of disc two, that disc contains all the outtakes, rough mixes + alternate versions from the sessions (barring Loup,

!32
which I had to cut for space and will definitely be on Rarities). I've also included (by request) the "reworked" version of The
Mess that I had put on YouTube a few months ago. And that was going to be that until I decided that there should be a disc of
live material, including the best stuff from the James Paul McCartney TV special. Rather than try to include every second of
everything (again, never the intention of these sets), I put this disc together as a "best of" live from '73. Yeah, it includes the
complete excellent stereo live soundboard from Unsurpassed Masters 1 (albeit cleaned up a bit). Yeah, it also includes most of
the musical material from the James Paul McCartney special, swapping out the guitar medley from the show with the far
superior (both in performance and sound quality) outtake. Speaking of guitar medleys, there's also a "Guitar Medley II" lurking
on this disc. I wonder what THAT'S about???

As always, there's the artwork included as well, and I have to say that it was very gratifying to put that custom Red Rose label
on a CD. All in all, it adds up to the next release of the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection. Hot on the heels of the
next official Archive release! How about that? Lotsa Macca to enjoy. Make sure you all buy those sets, BTW. My version of
those won't be due till April! Until then, here's four full hours of the lovely sounds of Paul McCartney and Wings, circa
1972-73.

NOTES:
CD 1
1-12 – Red Rose Speedway – Paul McCartney and Wings album, first released on April 30, 1973 in the USA and on May 4,
1973 in the UK and Europe.
The album was recorded between March and October 1972 in five London studios. ‘Get On The Right Thing’ and ‘Little Lamb
Dragonfly’ were recorded during the Ram sessions in Autumn 1970, but received overdubs in 1973.
Paul saw the second Wings album originally as a group effort, with him just one of the band: the bass player. The other band
members were encouraged to attribute songs. This was reflected in the double album that was proposed to the record label.

13-21 – the songs omitted from the double album version of Red Rose Speedway .
13 - Night Out
14 - Country Dreamer – recorded on September 26, 1972 in the Abbey Road Studios. Released on October 26, 1973 as b-side
of 'Helen Wheels'.
15 - Seaside Woman - written by Linda and recorded on November 27, 1972 in the AIR Studios, London and released on May
31, 1977 as a single by Suzy and the Red Stripes. This is the rare German pressing of the single, with untrimmed ending and
some dialogue during the intro, mentioning Denny Laine.
16 - I Lie Around - another leftover from the Ram sessions, recording started on November 1, 1970 with overdubs added in
January 1971 and November 1972. Released on June 1, 1973 as b-side for 'Live and Let Die'.

20 - I Would Only Smile – Denny Laine song
21 - Tragedy – outtake from the Wild Life session, recorded in July 1972. Cover from a song written by Gerald H. Nelson, Fred
B. Burch. Originally an 1959 American top 5 hit for Thomas Wayne and the DeLons, but the Wings arrangement is based on
the 1961 cover by The Fleetwoods.

!33
22 - Live and Let Die - Bond song, arranged by George Martin and recorded in a 3 hour session in October 1972. Released as a
single on June 1, 1973. (Linda wrote the reggae part)

CD 2
1 - Hi, Hi, Hi – recorded in November 1972, in the Morgan Studios, London and released on December 1, 1972

himself, to approach the live version.
4 - Thank You Darling – duet by Paul and Linda, outtake from the RRS sessions
5 - Jazz Street – edited outtake, basically a jam
6 - Bridge on the River Suite – an improvisation on acoustic guitar by Paul, while warming up to record ‘Country Dreamer’ (on
September 26, 1972). Engineer Alan parsons liked what he had recorded so much that he presented in an edited version to Paul.
He too liked it and added overdubs during the sessions in Paris, in November 1973: bass, drums, synthesizer and electric guitar.
The track would be finalized with an horn arrangement, in July 1974 in Nashville. But this is the mix as it stood in ’73.

CD 3
1-5 & 13-21: James Paul McCartney, a TV Special made for ATV. Recorded mostly in Elstree Film Studios, Borehamwood,
between February 19 and April 1, 1973 and premiered in the US on April 16, 1973 and in England on May 10, 1973. The 50-
minute show is divided in eleven different parts. All the original material is presented here. The parts where previously released
material was used (‘Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey’) or people on the street singing Beatles songs are omitted.

1 - Big Barn Bed – opening the special with Wings live in studio, before an applauding audience on TV screens.
2 - Guitar Medley I – the second part is 'Acoustic Medley': Paul performs a medley of (parts of) songs on acoustic guitar,
sitting on a stool surrounded by an array of photographic lights and umbrellas. Linda is seen taking photographs of his
performance. Here, and on the second Guitar Medley (CD 3-13) are some choice cuts from the raw tape (bootlegged as The
Making of James Paul McCartney): 'Bluebird', ‘Mama’s Little Girl’, 'Michelle' (featuring a new arrangement, emphasizing the

!34
French lyrics) and 'Heart Of The Country'.
Recorded on March 15, in the Elstree Film Studios.
3 - Mary Had a Little Lamb - music video style performance set in an outdoor location, filmed on March 16 in Hampstead
Heath. The performance is a live vocal over a pre-recorded backing, with syrupy strings.
4 - Little Woman Love/C Moon - Wings live in the studio, recorded on April 1 in Elstree Film Studios.
5 - My Love – see 4, but with a live orchestra.

6-12 - Wings live in the City Hall, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Scotland, on July 10, 1973 – the last show of the UK tour.
6 - Seaside Woman
7 - Wild Life
8 - Little Woman Love/C Moon
9 - Maybe I'm Amazed
10 - My Love
11 - Live and Let Die
12 - Go Now

13 - Guitar Medley II – see CD 3-2. This time Paul performs parts of ‘Take Your Time’, ‘Country Dreamer’, the ‘Love Is
Long’-part of ‘Long haired Lady’, ‘Hands of Love’ and ‘4th of July’.
14 - Live and Let Die – Wings live in the studio, with an orchestra, recorded on April 1. This was the première of the Bond
Theme for the audience, as the single wouldn’t be released until June 1973. The scene ends with a "baddie" dressed in a hat
and cloak setting off a bomb which explodes inside Paul's piano. He later reveals that this special effect had actually hurt his
hand, a result of the flying wooden piano debris.
15 - Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance – a tune Paul apparently wrote for Twiggy. She refused politely, so Paul did it himself, as a tribute
to the Busby Berkeley choreography. He sings the song, dressed in a pink tuxedo, gold high-heeled shoes and wearing a
mustache. Accompanying him is a large female dance troupe that is split, costume-wise, into two camps. One in blonde wigs
and silver leotards, the other dressed as men in black suits. The spectacular foot-tapping and tap-dancing, excellently
choreographed by Rob Iscove, ends in a flurry of glitter cascading from the ceiling.

16-19 – Part ten: "Wings In Concert'; filmed before an audience, on March 18, 1973 in the Elstree Film Studios. Americans
viewers saw ‘Long Tall Sally’, which was replaced by ‘HI, Hi, Hi’ for the European audience.
16 - The Mess
17 - Maybe I'm Amazed
18 - Long Tall Sally
19 - Hi, Hi, Hi

20 - The End Of Another Day

21 – Yesterday
For the final sequence, with Linda and the other members of Wings sitting around him, Paul performs a solo acoustic guitar
version of 'Yesterday'. This is his first rendition of the track since The Beatles acrimonious split almost three years earlier,
played as a personal request to his fellow band members. The song concludes with the end of show credits running over the
screen. It’s previewed by a short improvisation.
22 - Hi Hi Hi/C Moon - Radio Advert, recorded in November 1972, in the Olympic Studios, Barnes

BAND ON THE RUN

!36
!37
!38
"What have I done???" Well, for starters, I've stayed up till 4:AM to finally finish the next installment of the often imitated,
never duplicated Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive series. This time around, we're reaching way back to 1973 to give a
thorough look at what many consider Paul's finest album as a solo artist, Band On The Run. This was what kicked off Paul's
own Archive Collection, and while it was nice and gave us the first official releases of a few tracks, it wasn't what it could have
been. That's where I come in. Simply put, these three discs contain everything that was included on the Archive Edition of this
landmark album, plus just under two hours of additional material! This include a stereo down mix of the DTS-surround mix.
This mix wasn't as drastically different as the one done for Venus And Mars, but it did have a few noticeable variants to the
standard mix to make it a worthy inclusion here. Also, I've included the promo edits of Band On The Run + Jet (Jet was
released as a mono edit only), along with three different edits of Linda's Wide Prairie - the released LP version (which
inexplicably edited out Paul's opening verse, along with altered the "chewin' jerky" line into the vegan-friendly "feelin' perky"),
an edit which restored the lost bits utilizing all the bits that were "released" via Paul's Oobu Joobu show along with the Wide
Prairie EPK, and the full 11:37 opus, which I have speed-corrected and restored to the best possible fidelity, utilizing the best
sources along the way. Other notable inclusions are instrumental versions of Band On The Run / Jet / Let Me Roll It / Helen
Wheels, along with the four alternate versions of Zoo Gang that were released as part of a Various Artists 2-CD set 'The Music
Of ITC'. The goal is to be the "Ultimate", right? Well, in addition to offering up EVERYTHING that was released from this era,

!39
I had just enough space to give something extra - namely a "2016 Remix" of Band On The Run. It was something I had put
together as I wanted something different to end this mammoth set, and this track fits the bill nicely, I think. Chalk it up with all
the other "extra" goodies that have been sprinkled on a few of these sets along the way! Oh, and before I forget.. Most
importantly, YES, the "thump" at the end of the LP version of the title track has been included! I tacked it on from the DCC
remaster, so you're getting everything here from the best possible sources! Yay!!

While I have a quick moment, I just wanted to give a remembrance to Keith Sluchansky, who just passed away Wednesday
morning. For those who didn't know, Keith was the guy who for many years ran Revolver Records, which was THE store to go
to in NYC if you were looking for bootlegs. It was here where I first picked up Ultra Rare Trax I & II with some Christmas
money as an 18-year old kid at the end of '88, which really got the ball rolling for me. It was also here where I picked up all the
Unsurpassed Masters discs, along with the still amazing 9-CD box set - The Complete BBC Sessions, which became the
template for every other "complete" BBC set that followed. I also picked up dozens (hundreds?) of Beatle mags here, and was
where I'd first discovered a small 'zine called 'Illegal Beatles' that was written by a guy who actually was critical of many of the
Beatles songs! This was something I'd never really seen till this point! Of course the man was Doug Sulpy, and the mag
eventually morphed into The 910, which is (thankfully) still going strong to this day. My point to all of this is that Keith was
the catalyst to ALL of this happening. If you were anywhere near New York City, or just passing through, visiting his store was
mandatory because there was no other place on earth that was quite like it. He had every new bootleg release as soon as they
came out and was extremely knowledgeable and a very decent guy as well. It really is difficult to overestimate just how
important Keith (and his store) were to shaping Beatle bootleg culture during the CD era. This very site would likely be a
different place had it not been for Keith. And if you've never been to / heard of his store, you probably have seen at least a few
of his videos that he was uploading on a weekly basis to his 'Revolver Records' YouTube channel. Yes, that was the same guy,
sharing his rare treasures with all of us just because that was who he was. Simply put, the man was a legend and will be greatly
missed. RIP, Keith.

Anyway, this makes but a mere nine titles to go. I'm still looking for the Flaming Pie cassette, in case anyone was wondering...
In the meantime, have fun with this!

!

I was behind the wheel of my automobile giving these a ride! It's the next release in the Ultimate Archive Collection. And
another double-shot to boot! This time it's two from 1974 - McGear and One Hand Clapping. I've always had a soft spot in my
heart for McGear. It definitely has some classic Macca tunes on it (particularly Leave It and The Man Who Found God On The
Moon - one of my all time faves!). Now I'd love to be able to say that I've unearthed Paul demos of some of these tracks, it's
just not so! What I DID include was every non-LP track, mix and edit from this project. While it's well known that Dance The
Do was remixed for its 90's-era CD release, what's not too well known is that Sweet Baby on CD is different from the original
45 as well! So you get both versions here along with every other track including a clean rip of the coveted B-side Ten Years
After On Strawberry Jam. Heck, I even included that single's A-side as well (Liverpool Lou) for completeness sake, even
though Paul had nothing to do with that track. All in all, it adds up to a 74-minute CD and if you haven't heard this one before,
I'd invite you to give it a spin - you might be surprised with how good it is! Oh, and I tried to re-create the original LP art right
down to using the lovely "Burbank" Warner Brothers label on the CD. Rykodisc's artwork left a lot to be desired, to say the
least! Hell, the little photo of Paul on the lower right corner of the cover almost got cut off completely on that version! Not so
here. I tried to do justice to the original LP and unless Macca re-releases this one himself, this is likely as good as you'll ever
see/hear this album!

As for One Hand Clapping, this is the first time I'm putting out an album that never was, so I had to pick what was relevant.
This set is pretty much my own remastered version of the original Yellow Cat CD, with whatever tracks that were officially
released substituted in. I've also added a "complete" version of Baby Face, with the intro part (which was cut off on the official
Venus And Mars Archive) reinstated. For a long while that's how I was going to put it out and then at the last minute, I decided
to include the complete Piano Tape (remastered this time by the good folks at RMW!) as it seemed like a good idea because a) I
did want to include this material on some release, and b) it wasn't strong enough to warrant a release by itself. So here it is - an
hour of Macca at the piano, banging out his then unreleased catalog, circa the summer of 1974.

Since no artwork existed for this set, I came up with what you see here, utilizing the illustration that was made by David R. L.
Litchfield - the man who filmed the documentary. As it's the only real "cover art" I had to go with, it made sense to use it on the
front cover! The rest was taken up with photos of the era. And for the CD labels, I tried to re-create the classic orange Capitol
label that was being used at the time. It is what it is! Anyhoo, I hope y'all enjoy these. They were fun working on (especially
McGear), and thanks again for all your support / assistance / encouragement!

NOTES:
CD 1
Paul McCartney on ‘'One Hand Clapping': ‘It was made by a friend of mine, David Litchfield; he produced a little magazine
that was funky (Ritz, co-edited with David Bailey). We decided that he would shoot a very simple piece, on video. We would
just go into Abbey Road and play basically what we had rehearsed. So we went in there and it was very simply filmed, absolute
basic stuff, and I think its charm now is that there’s no pretense. It is what it is. We just called it 'One Hand Clapping', for
absolutely no reason."

After the six-week stay in Nashville, Paul was happy with the new lineup of Wings: Linda, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch
and Geoff Britton. Over four days in August 1974 they gathered at EMI’s Studio Two to rehearse for a possible tour and record
old and new material.
Wings was joined for these sessions by the orchestral arranger/conductor Del Newman, and the Liverpool saxophone player
Howie Casey.

David Litchfield, videotaped the events for MPL, with the intent of producing a Television special, to follow up the previous
year’s James Paul McCartney. Inspired by Frank Zappa’s film 200 Motels, the idea was to shoot on videotape and then edit and
transfer the selected footage onto film. Almost forty hours of videotape shot.
En plus, Geoff Emerick made proper recordings.

During these sessions, or shortly thereafter, Paul was filmed in the backyard of the studio for some acoustic footage. This was
dubbed The Backyard Tape.
See Venus And Mars – Ultimate Archive Collections, cd 2, tracks 11-21, plus 23.

On September 9, 1974, Geoff cut a 6-track acetate in Abbey Road Studio from the sessions, for a possible Wings Live In The
Studio-EP.
The tracklist:
Side A: ‘Jet’, ‘Let Me Roll It’, ‘Junior’s Farm’
Side B: ‘My Love’, ‘Little Woman Love/C Moon/Little Woman Love’, ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’.
Needless to say, the record never materialized.

When the tour didn’t happen, the TV show was scrapped. Especially since the drummer, Geoff Britton, left the band some
months later. For years it appeared that the documentary would rest in the archives forever.

In November 2010 however, the complete 51-minute One Hand Clapping was available on DVD as part of the Deluxe-Version
of the third remaster of Band on the Run.
As there’s much talk-over, it was a good idea to add some clean versions of the material on a bonus disc, augmented two tracks
recorded but not used in the documentary: ‘Country Dreamer’ and ‘Let Me Roll It’.

1 - One Hand Clapping - 1:29

CD 2
Dubbed The Piano Tape by bootleggers, this hour long tape is recorded at a unknown date. Some experts think it could be as
early as June 1973, while others think as late as 1976.

In Eight Arms To Hold You, Chip Madinger and Mark Easter think it could have been recorded in Los Angeles, while Paul was
visiting John there. That would be in late April 1974. Of course a lot of these songs would be recorded by Wings in the months
and years to come.

Happiness in the homeland! VENUS AND MARS is next!! Okay, I know what some of you may say - "Didn't Paul just release
his own Archive version of this last year??" While it's true that he did, he missed so many opportunities to include extra stuff.
Almost to make up for it, he put three "bonus tracks" up for exclusive downloading on his website, and a fourth (the rough mix
of "Junior's Farm") could be found on another site. Well, I took what he gave us, all the downloads, and then added an
additional two hours of material from the era (including my own stereo down mix of the DTS-surround CD, which provides a
vastly different listening experience to the standard album), to give a much more complete picture of what Paul + Co. was up to
musically at this time. As with Flowers, I've also used the best sources for everything and did my best job to make everything
sound as good as possible. No noise-reduction was used, but an occasional re-eq was done to some of the unreleased tracks to
give them a more uniform sound to the rest of the collection. To top it off, I once again did full artwork for the set, including cd
labels that re-create the LP label much better than the official Archive release did (I had NO qualms whatsoever about using the
"Capitol" logo for effect on my discs!!) Anyway, here it is - four hours of classic Paul, circa 1975...

WINGS AT THE
SPEED OF SOUND

!61
!62
!

"All you rock hip cats, come on!" That jive lingo could only mean one thing - yet another installment of the Paul McCartney
Ultimate Archive Collection. This time around, we go back to the '70s for an album that has grown on me of late, Wings At The
Speed Of Sound. Of course, this one was already done as an Archive release, towards the end of 2014. Suffice it to say that the
audio bonuses on that release were rather skimpy at best. Despite being a 2-CD affair, the LP + the bonus CD added up to a
whopping 69 minutes! That would be unthinkable, so I took what Paul gave us and I added a whole lot more! For starters,
there's the Holly Days album, recorded by Paul, Denny + Linda in July 1976. It's a fun little album (just under 30 minutes!),
and lends itself nicely to a slew of bonus tracks - all demos recorded by Macca during the Summer of '76 (wasn't he supposed
to be on tour at this time???) I say it lends itself nicely as all the tracks have a distinct sound to them, with the primary
percussion coming from Paul's much-beloved rhythm box. For those demos, I did what I could to polish 'em up and present
them in the best possible sound quality, with corrected speed for the first time! On top of that, I've added a few cuts from the
Trevor Jones tapes that leaked about six years ago. Those poor tapes never really sounded too good to begin with, and I did
what I could with them to at least sound presentable. Finally, I've added the promo edits for the two singles from the Speed Of
Sound LP. All in all, it adds up to just under 160 minutes of Paul & Co whooping it up through 1976. Not a bad way to spend
New Year's now, is it? Enjoy and have a Happy New Year!!

NOTES:
Wings At The Speed of Sound was recorded relatively quick in the middle of the Wings Over The World tour. The majority of
the recordings were done in Abbey Road Studios, in January and February 1976. The album was released on March 22, 1976 in
the USA and four days later in the UK.

NOTES:
CD 1
1-11 – Wings at the Speed of Sound, as released on March 25, 1976

12 - Message to Joe – a vocodered bit of studio chatter, recorded January 21, 1976, and released on November 4, 2014 on
Wings At the Speed Of Sound - Paul McCartney Archive Collection.
13-15 – demos of songs written while vacationing in Hawaii, recorded around November 1975 and released on Wings At the
Speed Of Sound - Paul McCartney Archive Collection.
16 - The Note You Never Wrote – basic track recorded on October 14, 1975. This is before strings were added, as found on the
Trevor Jones Tapes.
17 - Beware My Love – first version of the song, recorded on August 28, 1975, in the Olympic Studios, Barnes, with Led Zep’s
John Bonham op drums. Also released on the Paul McCartney Archive Collection. – as it the next song:
18 - Must Do Something About It – recorded on January 5, 1976 with Paul on vocals.
19 - Silly Love Songs – promo edit, released on April 1, 1976 in the USA. The basic track is recorded on January 16, 1976.
20 - Let 'Em In – promo edit released on June 28, 1976 in the USA. Basic track recorded on February 3, 1976. In France a 12”
single was released on the Special Disco Mix label. However it was the regular 5:08 album mix.
21 - Warm and Beautiful – another demo, see 13-15. This one is without vocals.

CD 2
1-10 - Holly Days
In the Summer of 1976, Paul and Linda recorded, together with Denny Laine, ten songs by Buddy Holly. Paul had always
admired Buddy, and had bought the publishing rights to his songs. Recordings took place in Paul’s Rude Studio, in
Campbeltown, Scotland.
Denny did the lead vocals and so Holly Days became his second solo album. Released on May 6, 1977.

11-21 – more Rude Studio recordings, from that same Summer 1976. Some demos are composites of two or more takes.

22-24 - The personal archives of Wings' original roadie, the late Trevor Jones, were auctioned off by Christie's in 1998. It
contained tracks from 1971 up to 1987. Some ten years later, those tracks started appearing on bootleg cd’s. Not everything
however was very interesting. Voodoo Records presents a selection of the 1976 sessions.

WINGS OVER AMERICA

!65
!66
!67
!

"The cat in satin trousers says it's oily"... To me, that means that it's time for another edition of The Paul McCartney Ultimate
Archive series! This time up, a deluxe 4-CD edition of Paul's seminal live album, Wings Over America. This landmark 3-LP set
chronicled his triumphant 1976 tour of the U.S. and still stands as the mark that all of his subsequent live albums have (perhaps
unfairly) been compared to. To say that this album has had a troubled history on CD would be something of an understatement!
Several attempts have been made, including various remasterings and no fewer than three labels trying to get this record right.
ALL HAVE FAILED in one way or another! Remarkable, but true to say that here in 2015 - 39 years after the original LPs
release, there hasn't been a CD issue to get it all right.. until now! (y'all just knew that last bit was coming, right?? )

Let's break it down - the 1985 US issue on Columbia Records got the closest to replicating the actual content of the original LP.
It has all the proper fades intact between sides, which includes some interesting sounds at the very end of some of the LP sides
(in particular, the "Alright, alright!" at the end of Side 4). No other CD issue (be it the EMI/Capitol/Parlophone version from
1987 or the latest reissue on Hear Music from 2013) has gotten the content aspect correctly. The main drawback to the 1985
issue is the sound quality, which is rather weak, having been taken from LP submasters (with the vinyl eq applied). Next up
would be the EMI issue from 1987. The less said about this monstrosity, the better. Not only was the sound horrid (even worse
than the Columbia CD), but it was incomplete, cutting close to two minutes of audience noise from the overall LP. Absolute

!68
garbage! Naturally, this was the standard version of this album on CD for the next 25+ years.. Cut to 2013 and the remastered
version from Hear Music. On the one hand, it sounded great! The live performances finally came alive in a way that only the
original vinyl hinted at. The downside to this was once again it was incomplete, cutting away the side breaks to give the album
more "flow", despite the important fact that this was not how the LP was presented back in 1976. Well, we here at Voo-Doo
records said enough is enough, and have put together the final version of this LP that will ever be needed. To wit, the Hear
Music version is used for the body of the album, with the side breaks being flown in from a version of the Columbia CD that
was gently re-equed to match the Hear Music version. This being the Ultimate Archive, we didn't stop there! Disc two is
fleshed out with all of the performances that were found on the bonus disc that came with the 2013 version when purchased at
Best Buy, along with the original 45 versions of Maybe I'm Amazed / Soily (with proper fades intact). But we didn't stop
there!!!

Discs three + four contain an audio rip of the entire Rockshow DVD, which is important in that every performance in that film
differs from what was on the record. Now there was some controversy over the mix used on the DVD in that it's different to
what was used in the original film. For me, the incredibly better sound quality of the DVD far outweighs the fact that it's a new
mix, so I decided to go with the DVD rip. For the one part where the bass inexplicably drops during Beware My Love, I tried
to re-eq it to put some bass back in. I've played that part back on various systems. On some, it sounded fine, on others, a little
less so. Your mileage may vary. To those discs, I've added a few interesting / relevant cuts, such as the promo edit of Maybe I'm
Amazed, the only two live cuts from the Australian leg in '75 that differed from the US set list, and a few other tidbits to fill up
all four discs. Full color artwork is included, and I had some fun with the disc labels. The original LP had six unique labels and
the 2013 release utilized four of those. I made it a point to use the other two labels for my release! Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy
this one. See ya next time!!

NOTES:
Between September 6, 1975 and October 26, 1976 Wings played 64 shows, over three continents for some two million fans.
Nearly it was four continents, but at the last minute, Paul was refused to enter Japan due to previous drug convictions.
Paul wanted badly to prove that he was able to pull it off without John, George and Ringo and so he was well prepared. He
even added some Beatles songs to the set list – something he refused to do during the previous live outings of Wings.
The built up was well though off: first some indoor shows in Great Britain (September), then Australia (November), and Japan.
After recording Wings at the Speed of Sound in a few weeks (January), and four concerts on the mainland of Europa (March)
Wings was ready for the big outdoor arenas of America (May-June). And the big finish: three triumphant concerts in Londons’
Wembley Arena.
With a big light show, pyrotechnics, projections etc… a new standard was set for stadium rock .

Most, if not all of the 34 concerts in America were recorded on 24-tracks – some 90 hours of music to choose from. Of these
the five best performances of every track were selected. From these Paul selected the best and personally oversaw the mixing.
Apparently he worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week , for six weeks to get everything ready for the live album Wings Over
America and tour documentary Rockshow.

CD 1 - 1-22 and CD 2 - 1-8 – Wings Over America, released on December 10, 1976. The triple live album became Paul’s sixth
Number One album in the USA.

CD 3 – 1-17 and CD 4 - 1-14 – Rockshow

The music for the concert film was produced by Chris Thomas and engineered by Phil McDonald during 1979. The film was
premiered in New York’s Ziegfeld Theatre, on November 26, 1980.

According to drummer Joe English one of the reasons the movie (and the TV documentary Wings Over the World) were so
long in coming was that it took quite a bit of time to get the soundtrack in suitable order. Before he left Wings, he said, the
band spent many hours in the recording studio "doing a bunch of overdubs on the soundtrack and mixing it down."
Most of the overdubs were necessary because of "people singing out of tune and I don't mean Paul . . ."
In the interview, published in Beatlefan (April 1979) English said a list of sound problems to be corrected in the studio showed
that "the keyboard had the most, Denny the second most and then most of the vocal harmonies. Paul had to do a few lead
vocals because of a bad mike or something, but most of the harmonies were out of tune. It was an abnormal amount of
overdubs" taking about two months to complete.
"We would sit in a giant recording studio and you'd watch yourself singing or playing on the screen and have to make the same
inflections with your voice just like in the movie. It was funny, a real trip," he said.

The film was later edited down to 102 minutes for its home video release. Its first home video release was on Betamax in
October 1981 (with a VHS, laserdisc, and CED release in 1982). In 2007, a shortened cut with only seven songs was released
as part of the The McCartney Years DVD set.
The feature-length version of the film was finally released in 2013.

Although Rockshow was presented as a document of the Seattle concert, the songs were taken from four shows.

20 – Suicide – recorded during the rehearsals for the tour in the Elstree Film Studios, London, early September 1975. The so-
called Trevor Jones Tapes leaked on the internet in April 2010. This tape was marked: "Day 2 Elstree, 1975"

LONDON TOWN

!72
!73
!74
!

Someone, somewhere has to know... that the next installments (yeah that's with an "s", DJ Plurals!) of the Ultimate Archive
series are 'London Town' and 'Back To The Egg'. These are two sets that I personally can't wait for their official releases as part
of the Archive series, but until then...

So 'London Town' has been expanded to two discs, and includes the unreleased Rupert LP on disc 2 (music only - I omitted the
dialogue) along with all the promo edits and the best of the unreleased tracks from the era. I tried hard to get everything
sounding as good as possible, but with some of the sources being offline, only so much could be done. Still, I re-eqed, speed
corrected (especially on the basic "I'm Carrying" & "A Fairy Tale", both of which were far too slow and fast respectfully) and
did what I could to get these songs sounding good. Until Paul opens the vaults on these tracks, this is probably as good as it
gets.

Oh yeah - 'London Town' doesn't sound great on the official CD releases. The '87 version is God-awful, and the '93 version had
way too much bass and lacked high end. I took the '93 and gently tweaked the eq. I think it came out pretty good! Then again, I
would!!

!75
Anyway, here are the next two releases in the Ultimate Archive series, bringing it up to five total with thirty-six to go! Enjoy..
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL!!!

BACK TO THE EGG

!78
!79
!80
For 'Back To The Egg', I was able to contain the LP and all the bonus tracks on a single disc. I know there's rough mixes of
nearly every track on the album, but for me they are only marginally different for the most part, so I left them off, with the
exception of "Reception", which is (IMHO) far superior in its longer early incarnation. Again, I've re-eqed the unreleased stuff
(and had to fly in a portion of Reception from the 'Eggs Up' LP that is missing from the CD version - weird!!) and used top
sources for the official stuff... including a rare digital version of "Maisie", available only with purchase of Laurence Juber's
beautiful (yet expensive) book. For the long "Goodnight Tonight", I used the iTunes version available briefly as a bonus track.
Since that version was faded a little early, I grafted on the final few seconds from a stone mint 12". I'm not calling these
"Ultimate" for nothing!!

For 'Egg', I used the original '89 CD (which sounded better to me) and cleaned up the tape print-through between tracks,
WITHOUT sacrificing any music (or changing the rills for that matter). Again, I'm quite happy with the way it came out.

LAST FLIGHT

!83
!84
!85
!

"Happy New Year!!" With those words, bellowed by Paul McCartney at the very end of Wings final concert, Paul unknowingly
ushered out one phase of his solo career (with Wings) while ushering in a new phase as a true solo artist. Thankfully, we have
this document of Wings penultimate concert as a performing unit. Most of you are undoubtedly already familiar with the
Vigotone issue of Last Flight from 1999. At the time, it was lauded as being an incredible sounding document of the show, but
once a few of the tracks were given official releases, it became apparent that the sound of the boot had no dynamic range
whatsoever. It has long been a goal of mine to take the boot and see if I could re-eq it to give it some life and try to match the
sound of the official releases (as closely as possible). With this release, I feel I have achieved my goal as best as possible, given
the quality of the source tapes. I've flown in the released tracks wherever possible and I believe the transitions are barely
noticeable (barring the unavoidable extra hiss found on the boot). Until Paul actually releases the full show, this is likely as
good as it'll sound.

For bonuses, I've started with a needle drop of Paul's tracks from a freshly opened Concert For The People Of Kampuchea LP.
As the album hasn't been released on CD, this is likely the best these songs will sound. I've added the audio rip of the DVDs of
the live Kampuchea tracks that have been released on Paul's Archive sets along with the two live outtakes from the album that
have recently surfaced. To this, I've also included a few rehearsal tracks, including one of With A Little Luck from the

!86
rehearsals for the ill-fated 1980 Japanese tour. Once again, I have meticulously worked over these tracks to present them in the
best sound quality possible. To top it all off, I've included the various edits of the live version of Coming Up that was originally
released in 1980.

For the artwork, I've had the idea for the past several months to re-create the Kampuchea album cover, but with Paul & Wings
text. I'm very happy with how it all turned out. Likewise, I've had the idea of using Columbia white-label promo discs for some
time now. I got the idea from how Columbia during this era would occasionally issue promotional-only live albums by it's
artists (Souvenir by Billy Joel and Live At El Mocambo by Elvis Costello are two examples of this). I liked the idea of
Columbia putting this out as a promo, and I'm quite happy with how the labels turned out.

Anyway, Last Flight is here. The third wave has begun...

NOTES:
CD 1 + CD 2 tracks 1-3
Wings, recorded live at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland, on December 17, 1979.
Released on bootleg as Last Flight.

While the plan was to release this concert as a live album, only a handful of songs were officially released. A reason for this
can be found in the book Blackbird, by Geoffrey Giuliano (1997).

‘Steve Holly [sic] recalls stopping by Paul and Linda's dressing room one evening during the tour to remark how great he
thought the show had gone over that night. "It sucked," replied McCartney, suddenly as depressed as the drummer had ever
seen him.
"Paul hated the whole tour," Steve commented to this author during a 1990 interview. "He felt all the performances were bad.
About a quarter of the way along I got the distinct feeling that he was just going through the motions. Musically, there were
definite problems with some of the band as well. I think Paul felt he was rather 'dragging the dresser,' to quote an old northern
phrase." Holly [sic] also speculated that after the triple platinum success of Wings Over America, McCartney might have been
expecting a bit too much. "Maybe we just went out too soon. I know Paul was under pressure not to lose any of his new fans."
Holly also stresses that originally the tour was rehearsed and staged for smaller venues, while they ended up playing four
nights at places such as Wembley Arena. "We were like tiny little ants up there on that great stage," he remarked laughingly.’

In another interview Steve Holley recalls fondly the evening the show was recorded for the planned follow up to Wings Over
America.

"My personal favorite moment was playing the Glasgow Apollo, which coincided with the soccer final with Scotland and
England. Paul had decided that he would wrap himself in the flag of the winning team. We had the Campbeltown Pipe Band, in
full kilts and regalia, underneath the stage for the performance of "Mull of Kintyre". That was a very excited crowd, and
Scotland won that night". Coming back on stage for the encore, McCartney cranked into the opening of "Mull" and the doors
swung open to allow the pipe band, with drums and bagpipes blasting, to walk through the audience and onto the stage.
It was just one of those incredible emotional high points you can never really adequately describe. I, for one, remember
becoming a little teary-eyed myself, and I'm not even a Scot. I think that, more than anything, begins to explain the absolute
magic of the man."

Recorded on December 29, 1979, on the last night of a series of five benefit concert in the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

(from Wogblog)
‘Concerts for the People of Kampuchea was a series of concerts organized by Paul McCartney at the request of the UN and
their children's organization Unicef. Originally, Kurt Waldheim approached Paul to ask for a Beatles reunion concert in aid of
the victims of war-thorn Cambodia, a country which recently had changed the international spelling of their name to
Kampuchea. The idea of a Beatles reunion didn't appeal to Paul and the others, but Paul organized a series of concerts at the
Hammersmith Odeon in London featuring Queen, The Clash, The Pretenders, The Who, Elvis Costello, Wings and others in aid
of the charity.
Rumours were ripe during the night of the Wings performance that George, Ringo and John was to appear alongside Paul,
speculations that compere Billy Connolly did nothing to qualm. But, [of course,] it was never to be.’

Instead, the final night concluded with an all-star jam by 'Rockestra'. This was an amalgam of members from most of the
above-listed bands as well as three-quarters of Led Zeppelin.

The event was recorded and filmed, and an album with highlights was released in March 1981.
The TV-film was also just compiled of highlights, and was shown on TV in various countries worldwide. The contents of the
film varied from country to country.
The concert was never released on cd, nor video cassette or DVD.

18 – the single edit, released on April 11, 1980, as the b-side of Paul’s solo version. This version proved to be way more
popular in the U.S. then the studio version. So, Columbia Records wanted to put the live version on McCartney II. But
McCartney wanted to keep it a solo album and refused.
A compromise was found by including a one-sided 7" white-label promotional copy of the Wings version with the album.

20 – US version of Wingspan edit

In Daytrippin’ Beatles Magazine, Wings guitarist Laurence Juber looked back on the tour:

“The highlight for me was the whole second Glasgow concert.

Kampuchea was a stage highlight in terms of getting to play with all the rock luminaries and (laughs) having Pete Townsend
looking over my shoulder on “Let It Be.” At a certain point, I realized no one out of this huge band was going to step forward
to play that solo and I’d been doing it for the whole tour, so I just went for it. It was one of those moments in my career where I
was able to say, “Well, I got to do that…” It was a magical moment.
But the highlight of the tour from a musical point of view was that last Glasgow concert. That was the point on the tour when
we were really cooking as a band. It was also a more complete set than Kampuchea. And to be honest, if you listen to the Last
Flight bootleg CD, the version we did of “Let It Be” in Glasgow was even better. I’ll never forget the audience reaction to the
bagpipe band marching through the audience that night.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." Words to live by. Also, it most definitely means that it's
time for the next installment of the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection. This time, we offer up the 1980 classic,
'McCartney II' as a 2-CD set. You McCartney scholars out there will note that this one is also available as a standard Archive
Edition, that contains THREE CDs. Rest assured that not only does the UAC version have all the audio presented on the
Archive release (sourced from the Unlimited downloads), there's also another half-hour of material that's NOT on the Archive
set! So let's look at what we have here, okay?

After one takes away the material from the standard Archive set (most of which was material pertaining to the original,
unreleased 2-LP version of 'McCartney II'), we get such material as the original mix of 'Mr H Atom', which had a noticeably
different mix on the Archive set as compared to the bootleg. It has been speed-corrected here and sounds better here Also,
there's the full-length 'Bogey Wobble', which had close to :30 snipped from it for the Archive set. We've also included such fun
items as the Video Version of 'Waterfalls' (with keyboard intro), along with two demos of 'Seems Like Old Times', carefully
restored and speed corrected, as all other boots of these have been woefully slow! Two different mixes of the 1980-era Linda
track have been included as well - both the 1980 mix (included on 'Wide Prairie'), and a 1982-era mix by Tony Visconti that
went unreleased. Again, the track sounds better here than anywhere else! Finally, for fun, a "stripped down" mix of the basic

!93
tracks of 'Coming Up' has been included, so you can hear the rhythm tracks more clearly.

With all that has been included, there was one item in particular that I had to leave off for space considerations - namely, the
'Wingspan Edit' of 'Coming Up'. For those who may not be aware, the UK Wingspan CD has the studio version of 'Coming Up',
which must have been freshly edited from the full-length version, as one of the edits is in a slightly different location. A minor
difference to be sure, but it IS different. Rest assured that it will be included on the ever-growing 'Rarities' collection!

As usual, full-artwork has been included. I've always been a big fan of the packaging for this LP, and I wanted to try and
present it as close to the original release as possible (albeit with the singles sleeves draped over the gatefold photo! I hope y'all
dig it!

And with that, we now stand at 32 down (!!!) and just 13 to go. What will be next?? Who cares!! For now, you have 158
minutes of Avant Macca to enjoy!

P.S. For those who wish to hear the original 2-LP set, program whatever it is you play/rip these on to play these tracks in order:

2-2, 2-3, 1-14, 1-15, 1-2, 1-3, 2-4, 2-5, 1-17, 2-6, 2-7, 1-11, 1-13, 1-9, 2-8, 1-4, 1-5, 2-10

NOTES:
“I really just was fascinated with these things called synthesizers which had appeared on the scene,” explained Paul in 2011,
“particularly with sequencers, I loved them. It was new technology and I just wanted to see what it was all about, and have a
go, and see what I could do with it.”

So, in June 1979, he set up the Roland Jupiter 4, Mellotron, Yamaha CS80, Arp Pro-Soloist and Mini Moog in the front parlour
of an empty house he bought some months earlier (Lower Gate Farm, in Peashmarsh, near Rye), he rented a 16-track Studer
recording machine and a monitor mixer for two weeks , and asked engineer Eddie Klein to install the whole machinery.

As usual, a family holiday in the farm in Campbeltown, Scotland is planned for August. However, Macca is enjoying himself
so much with his new toys that he continues his largely improvised recordings in his Spirit of Ranachan Studio, over there.

Originally it wasn’t planned to release anything, but ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ was too good to ignore. So, it was released as
the first Paul McCartney solo single ever.

After the Japanese tour was cancelled because Paul didn’t want to throw a bag with “excellent quality stuff” away, he offered
the recordings to his record company. They didn’t want to release a double album as the last Wings album Back To the Egg
hadn’t been a large seller. So, McCartney II was released as a single album in Spring 1980.

HOT HITZ/ KOLD KUTZ

!96
!97
!98
!

Like smoke from a fire of love, so has the UAC series been! And it's about time for another one. Today's offering - a version of
the unreleased 'Hot Hitz/Kold Kutz' package. This was not something that I had planned to be part of the series. Indeed, other
than a slightly different edit of Wide Prairie, there's nothing on this that hasn't already been included on an earlier title. But
there have been a number of people asking me whether I'd put out either Wings Greatest or Cold Cuts, but the most intriguing
idea I got was from The Rick (thanks, buddy!) who suggested I try to recreate the Hot Hitz/Kold Kutz album from 1978.
However, doing THAT would mean not including what was the best version of the Cold Cuts album - namely, the 1981
version, which appeared a few years later on the Club Sandwich label. Well, that got me thinking... Since the Cold Cuts portion
had undergone numerous overhauls over the years, why stick with any one version? So I decided to go on a limb and create a
hybrid. The scenario I'm imagining for this one is that the HH/KK package was released as a double album as originally
planned, but in 1981 instead of 1978. Doing this would mean a few other hits would be added, so I went with the obvious
omission from Wings Greatest (Listen To What The Man Said) and added Paul's big hit from 1980 (Coming Up). For the Kold
Kutz disc, I went with the same track listing (albeit with another two "bonus tracks" of sorts), but instead of using only the
1981 Cold Cuts mixes, I went with whatever a) sounded best, and b) worked best within the context. So while you get the 1981
Cold Cuts mixes of A Love For You, Robber's Ball, Did We Meet Somewhere Before (among others), I've included alternate
mixes of many of the other tracks, from the 1972 mixes of Tragedy, Night Out and Mama's Little Girl. For a few, I've used the

!99
officially released mix. I went with whatever felt "right" to me.

The artwork is fairly straightforward. I just took the elements from Wings Greatest and and added the Hot Hitz/Kold Kutz title
in the same font, which was a bitch to find, I might add. I couldn't get it as an actual font - just the alphabet, which I had to cut
and paste to spell the title! Labels were taken directly from scans of the original label, with the necessary text added. All in all,
I'm rather pleased with how it all turned out.

Anyway, since this was a surprise release, that means there are still six titles left to go in this series. Enjoy it all, and to all the
newbies who are recently discovering this site, thanks for the kind words! See ya 'round the clubs...

NOTES:
On Monday January 26, 1976, the 9 year old contract from The Beatles with the record company EMI finally expired. The ex-
members of the band were now free to sign with other companies. John was happy to have no longer any obligations and
decided to stay without a contract. George and Ringo went with their way and so Paul was the only one to stay with EMI/
Capitol. He renewed his contract for another three years.

Capitol had already released a Lennon compilation, Shaved Fish, in October 1975. From Ringo was Blast From Your Past Starr
released a month later. Without involvement from George, The Best of George Harrison was thrown on the market in October
1976. The compiler didn’t think Harrison’s solo material was strong enough, so one side of the album was filled with a
selection of the artist's Beatles-era songs.

With the end of the three year period in sight, Paul decided to stay worldwide with EMI, but to leave Capitol, for a six-year
stay with Columbia for the US and Canada.

As one last album was due before January 1979, Paul presented the record company a double album to satisfy the Christmas
market. He envisaged the album in two parts: Hot Hitz, a compilation of his hits (since the split of The Beatles) and a second
disc with leftovers from the same period, 1971 to 1978, called Kold Kutz.

However, the board wasn’t convinced: ‘Why would you put cold cuts on a hot hits compilation?’

So, despite the fact that Paul McCartney had amassed enough hits by then to fill a double album of hits, it was decided that a
only the Hot Hitz part would be released as a single album. After a lot of brainstorming, someone came with the title Wings
Greatest. Wildly inaccurate as two of the songs weren’t by Wings, while the US number 1 hit ‘Listen to What the Man Said’
wasn’t included.

Following the Back To The Egg session, Paul returned to the project, now known simply as Cold Cuts. In order to make a more
commercial offering, Linda and Denny vocal spotlights were set aside, as were the instrumentals. Instead, some recent songs
were added: ‘Waterspout’, ‘Robber’s Ball’ and ‘Cage’. Some overdubs were added between October 1980 and January 1981,
during what proved to be the last Wings sessions.

In Autumn 1986, Cold Cuts was once again taken off the shelf. ‘Carnival’ which was by now released, was dropped and
substituted by ‘Blue Sway’. Richard Niles was asked for advice. “He had heard my work on Grace Jones’ Slave To The
Rhythm and wanted someone who, like George Martin, was an arranger-producer. He asked me to go through 14 tracks and
add or replace whatever was necessary to complete them for release. One of these tracks was “Blue Sway” to which I added a
large string section and the wonderful Dick Morrissey wailing away on tenor sax.”

In late 1987, additional production work was undertaken at Air Studios in London, by Paul, co-producer Chris Thomas and
engineer Bill Price.

But Paul's new manager, Richard Odgen, felt that a new compilation would be a better idea at this point of McCartney’s career.
Thus, All The Best was released in November 1987 and the idea for the compilation of outtakes was finally abandoned, when
some tracks of Cold Cuts were released as bonus tracks on single from Flowers In The Dirt.

CD 2 - Kold Kutz
1. A Love For You – Basic track recorded on October 26, 1970 during the Ram sessions, in the Columbia Studios, New York,
with overdubs added in March 1971 in the Sound Recording Studio, in Los Angeles. The track was prepared by Paul and Eirik
Wilhelm Wangberg (aka ‘Erik the Norwegian’) to be released on a single (with ‘Get On The Right Thing’ as the a-side and
‘Great Cock and Seagull Race' as third song) later that year, but then Wings was formed and the single never materialized. ‘A
Love For You’ wasn’t on the 1978 version of Cold Cuts, but opened the 1980 version. A February 2002 remix by Ralph Sall
and David Khane was officially released in 2003 on The In-Laws soundtrack album, while the 1986 remix by John Kelly was
released in 2012 as one of the bonus tracks on the Archive Collection of Ram. As Paul kept adding overdubs over the years,
every version of it is a bit different. This is the edited remix from January 1981.
2. My Carnival – Recorded on February 12, 1975, in the Sea Saint Studios, New Orleans, during the Venus And Mars sessions.
Bookmarked for both the 1978 and 1981 collections and officially released on November 18, 1985 as the b-side of ‘Spies Like
Us.’
3. Waterspout - makes its first appearance on the 1981 collection. Recorded in August 1977 in the Spirit of Ranachan Studio,
Campbeltown, Scotland, during the London Town sessions. Although some call it a demo, the catchy beat, Caribbean rhythm
and gorgeous orchestration make it one of McCartney’s best unreleased songs and was planned to be released on the All The
Best compilation in 1987, for which it received some horn overdubs (buried deep in the mix). However it was withdrawn
before the album came out and remains officially unreleased.
4. Mama’s Little Girl – basic track recorded in March-April 1972, in Olympic Studios in Barnes, during the Red Rose
Speedway sessions, produced by Glyn Johns. Some tambourine was added in 1980 and more overdubs (percussion and
clarinet) were added in 1986. The October 1987 remix by Bill Price was released in February 1990 on the ‘Put It There’ single.
5. Send Me The Heart – after recording ‘Sally G’, Paul challenged Denny Laine to write a country song too. This co-written
song then was recorded on July 11, 1974 in the Soundshop Recording Studios, Nashville. After re-recording his lead-vocals,
Denny released ‘Send Me The Heart on his album Japanese Tears in December 1980.
6. Night Out – studio-based experiment (or just call it a jam), with Paul shouting ‘night out’ repeatedly. Taped sometime in
1972, in the Abbey Road Studios, and at one point seen as the opening track for the double album version of during Red Rose
Speedway. Overdubbed multiple times by different incarnations of Wings for the Cold Cuts compilations. This is the original
mix from 1972.
7. Robber’s Ball - recorded in Lympne Castle, Kent, in May or June 1979. All these over the top vocals suggest that Paul never
saw this as regular song, but something to be put on a Cold Cuts comp, from the start.
8. Wide Prairie – A song written by Paul, for Linda to sing. Recorded in November 15, 1973 in the EMI Odeon, in Paris, with a
six man horn section, led by Tony Dorsey added during the Nashville sessions, in June 1974. An 11:37 mix as placed on the
1978 Kold Kutz compilation, but when it was officially released as the title track of on Linda McCartney's posthumous solo
album in 1998, this was edited down to less than half the length.
9. Cage – recorded in Paul's home studio in Campbeltown, Scotland, called Spirit of Rachanan, in July 1979. Originally meant

!102
as the closing track of Back to the Egg, but at the last minute replaced by ‘Baby's Request’.
10. Did We Meet Somewhere Before? – Written as the theme song for the Warren Beatty movie Heaven Can Wait and recorded
with Wings in Abbey Road Studios, in Fall 1977. When it was rejected it got a second chance, two years later, at the beginning
of the Ramones' Rock & Roll High School movie. The director Allan Arkush, apparently could use it for a meagre $500.
However: it’s only a snippet of the track, there’s no screen credit, nor is the song on the soundtrack LP.
11. Hey Diddle - The instrumental basic track was recorded on October 26, 1970 in the Columbia Studios, New York, during
the Ram sessions. Later, the track received further overdubs when Wings were in Nashville in the summer of 1974 with the
help of musicians such as Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer.
12. Tragedy – a cover of a song written by Gerald H. Nelson, Fred B. Burch. It was a Top 5 hit for Thomas Wayne and The
DeLons in 1959. Thomas Wayne Perkins, was the brother of Johnny Cash’s guitarist, Luther Perkins. Paul’s version is
generally mentioned as coming from the Red Rose Speedway sessions, in March 1972, but other sources think it might come
from the first Wings sessions in August 1971.
13. Best Friend - Recorded live, during the Wings European tour in 1972 at the Cine Roma in Antwerp, Belgium on August
22nd. The song was recorded in order to be included on Red Rose Speedway. Over the years it was sweetened with acoustic,
rhythm and percussion overdubs and even got retitled as ‘Why Did You Treat Me So Bad?’ – A clear message to his estranged
brother John Lennon.
14. Same Time Next Year - Taped on May 5, 1978, in the London RAK studio, during the first session of the new Wings' line-
up and finished during the last sessions with those same people, in January 1981. It was recorded as the title track for a movie
but rejected, because too much of the plot was given away in the lyrics. A commercial version was issued in February 1990 as
the b-side of the ‘Put It There’ single.

TUG OF WAR

!104
!105
!106
"Gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again..." Well, here we go again with the latest installment of the Paul
McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection series. As we've now passed the respectable six-month grace since Paul put out his
own Archive Collection editions of these, the time seemed right to put out my versions of Tug Of War & Pipes Of Peace, from
1982 & 1983 respectively. Both albums were produced by the late, great George Martin and had excellent production and
arrangements, both of which were missing a bit from Paul's recent albums up to this point (McCartney II + London Town
especially could have used better production, but I digress)... So considering that Paul just put out his versions of these albums,
what could I possibly bring to the table that wasn't already included? Plenty, as it turned out. For 'Tug', in addition to including
the 45 versions of the title track and "Take It Away", both of which were inexplicably left off the official release, I've included
Paul's other duet with Carl Perkins ("My Old Friend"), both in its officially released and original versions. I've also included 30
minutes of highlights of Paul's rehearsals with Wings from the latter half of 1980. Despite Paul's claim that Wings ended with
the Japan bust, the fact is that Wings continued as a functioning group afterward, as these rehearsals of new tracks for a new
album prove. Wings, it would appear, came to an end when George Martin suggested to Paul that he make 'Tug' a solo album,
rather than a Wings record. Thus, it could be said that while it's debatable whether Yoko "broke up The Beatles", it would
appear that George Martin had a hand in breaking up Wings! As far as the rehearsals go, they have been pooled from a variety
of sources, including the excellent upgrades that nando has been steadily giving us. Rather than present these takes as they

!107
happened (which, considering the rehearsal stop-and-go nature of the recordings, some takes could stretch out to eight or so
minutes), I've used judicious editing here and there in an attempt to make it palatable to listen to repeatedly while still retaining
the spontaneous nature of the recordings. I've also cleaned these tracks up as best as I could to give them something resembling
a uniform sound, despite the variety of sources. To top it off, I've included two different versions of the short "Juggler" theme,
found on practically all of Paul's home video releases going back to the 1980s. As the track was recorded during the Tug Of
War sessions, it seemed natural to place them here.

NOTES:
In October 1980, Paul started working again with George Martin – for the first time since ‘Live And Let Die’ in 1973. It was a
special project: the soundtrack for an animation film around Rupert Bear, and especially the song ‘We All Stand Together’.
The collaboration went well, and Paul asked Martin to produce the next Wings album. He handed him a tape with 16 demo’s,
prepared in August 1980 with the help of Denny Laine. Martin was happy with some of the songs, but less impressed with
others.

Furthermore, George Martin had a suggestion for Paul. He was preparing his next book: George Martin’s Making Music: The
Guide to Writing, Performing & Recording. The book is a collection of essays on writing and arranging music, performing
music, recording music, and on the music business. For each chapter, Martin approached someone who he admired for his area
of expertise: Paul Simon about songwriting and melody, Steven Sondheim about words, Quincy Jones on producing…
So, Martin suggested Paul should take a similar approach: instead of working with a band, why not choose some musician you
admire and work with each of them on one song. Who needs Wings when you can work with Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson
or Ringo Starr?

Recordings started on October 31, 1980 in Martin’s A.I.R. Studios, London, but came to a halt shortly after the murder on
Lennon. ’Ode to a Koala Bear’, ‘Rainclouds’, ‘Ballroom Dancing’, ‘Tug of War’ and ‘Take It Away’ were at least partly by
then.

When proceedings started again, in February 1981, it was far from the spotlights, on the Isle of Montserrat, where A.I.R. had
opened a brand new studio. It was there that Paul invited selected guests to work with him for a few days in a tropical
surrounding. Tracks recorded there are: ‘Ebony and Ivory’, ‘What’s that You’re Doing’, ‘Dress Me up as a Robber’, ‘Average
Person’, ‘The Pound Is Sinking’, ‘Somebody Who Cares’, ‘Hey Hey’, ‘Get It’ and ‘My Old Friend’.

After a month on the isle, everyone flew back home.

More work was done in March and April in AIR London. New songs started were ‘Sweetest Little Show’, ‘Wanderlust’, ‘Keep
Under Cover’ and ‘No Values’. George Harrison agreed to add a guitar solo to ‘Wanderlust’, but wanted Paul, Linda en Denny
to add backing vocals to his tribute to John first: ‘All These Years Ago’. Finally, there was no time left to play the solo.
At some time in this period, Denny Laine left and on April 28 it was officially announced that Wings was split.

After another break for a few months, McCartney and Martin continued their work (September until November 1981 in A.I.R.
Studios, London), now joined by Eric Stewart from 10cc. ‘Here Today’ was added.

Tug of War was the first album by Paul McCartney that was mixed digitally.

PIPES OF PEACE

!111
!112
!113
!

For Pipes, as the official Archive set was much shorter than it was for 'Tug', I had more room to stretch out an include more
tracks not found on that official set. For starters, I've included the remaining August 1980 demos that were not officially
released. Again, I've cleaned them up rather nicely (I think), and speed-corrected them as well. Speaking of speed-corrected
demos, I contend that the version of "On The Wings Of A Nightingale" presented here is the most accurate, complete, and best
sounding version of this track available. The speed was all over the place on previous bootlegs, from far too fast (on All The
Rest) to too slow (on Backyard +). I've compared the demo with the Everly brothers version, and matched the key of both
songs as best as I could, and I think it makes the demo much more natural sounding. I've also cleaned it up, tacked on the
complete ending and gave it an eq tweak to greatly reduce some of the harshness of what we'd had previously. The one thing I
couldn't do is figure out just WHY Paul left this off the Archive set!

In addition to the demos, there were a host of various remixes of "Say Say Say" to contend with. Of course, I've included both
original 12" mixes and all the 2015 remixes that have been made available. For the 2015 edit (not available on CD yet), I
purchased the track from iTunes as an advance for the Pure McCartney box. Short of ripping the audio from the promo video
(which I definitely wanted to avoid), this was the best way I could come up with to present the edit. When the box set comes
out in June, I'll go back and upgrade the track to lossless...

!114
Besides those mixes, there was a remix of sorts that was released in 2007, somehow as a new release by a group called Hi-
Tack. I don't quite understand how someone could just remix a song and then claim it's their own creation and credit
themselves as the artist who created the song, but again I digress. When I did some research, I found that there are a TON of
remixes available for what is called "Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U") (oh yeah, they've gone and re-titled the song as well). In fact,
there's enough remixes available to fill an entire cd of 'em. That seemed incredibly boring to me (as if having NINE versions of
the song on the same disc wasn't boring enough!), so I just included the main four that were available on the standard
commercial CD single. I wouldn't mind including the rest on Rarities (which will likely be more than four CDs at this point!),
but other than the four I've included here, I don't have any of the other mixes in lossless, so if anyone out there has more mixes
of this masterpiece and want to share them for the cause, please reach out.

The artwork was fun to compile. It was a nice challenge to try and retain the original design elements while incorporating the
extra photos / sleeves from the releases. The disc labels were fun to do as well. I especially love the vintage Columbia label for
disc one of Pipes. I can remember being impressed by that one when I first purchased the album as a 13-year-old in late 1983.

So with these two, that leaves but a scant six to go towards completing this series. Yes, I am still looking for the Flaming Pie
tape, so make sure you check your sofa cushions and cupboards - you may have it and not even realize it! I want to thank
everyone who's been encouraging me and sending me PMs. If I haven't responded yet, I will soon. I've just been focused on
getting these finished. I even allowed my TV watching to go by the wayside as I strove to get these done. So now I have two
(soon to be three) episodes of Walking Dead to catch up on, along with a few American Dad's and a couple of other shows. I
am all caught up on Better Call Saul though, cause y'know - priorities... Anyway, enjoy these for now and maybe I'll even see
some of ya at the NY Fest next Saturday...

NOTES:
On Christmas eve 1980 Paul was surprised to receive a phone call from Michael Jackson, who suggested to “write some hits
together”. For some reason, the young man whose solo album Off The Wall had made him a star, couldn’t make it to
Montsearrat. Instead he visited Paul at home in April 1981. They wrote two together: ‘The Man’ and ‘Say Say Say’, and which
were further developed and recorded in November of that year and March-April 1982 in Los Angeles.
Around that time, in May and June, Paul started wording again with George Martin and Eric Stewart on new material, to flesh
out the surplus material that wasn’t used on the previous album. Originally Tug of War II was planned for February 7, 1983,
but the recording and filming for Broad Street got in the way. More work was to be done on the tracks in June-July 1983 and
the album was postponed until Autumn of that year.

CD 1 1-11 - Pipes of Peace, released on October 22, 1983 in the USA and on October 31 in Europe.

12 - Ode to a Koala Bear – released on October 3, 1983 as the b-side of ‘Say Say Say’.
13 - Twice in a Lifetime – recorded on March 14, 1985, with Paul , Eric Stewart and Martin Chamber (of the Pretenders). Sax
was probably added by Andy McKay of Roxy Music. It was meant to be the title track for movie, starring Gene Hackman and
directed by Bud Yorkin, but went unused. Released in February 1993 as a bonus track on the remastered cd Pipes of Peace.

14 - The Girl Is Mine – duet from Michael Jackson with Paul McCartney, based on an idea from Quincy Jones. Recorded on

!115
April 14-16, 1982 in Westlake Studios, Los Angeles. Produced by Quincy Jones & Michael Jackson. First released as a single
on October 18, 1982 and on November 30, 1982 on Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
15 - It’s Not On – demo recorded by Paul and Denny Laine, in August 1980 in Park Gate Studios, 38 Mount Street, Catsfield,
East Sussex. Released on October 2, 2015 on Pipes of Peace - Paul McCartney Archive Collection
16 – Simple as That - see 15 – nothing to do with the track with the same title Paul recorded during the Press To Play sessions.

2 - Keep Under Cover
3 - Sweetest Little Show

‘Say Say Say’ was mostly written by Michael Jackson after jamming with Paul. Paul helped him finished the lyrics the next
day. Recording began as an acoustic demo at AIR Studios in London in May 1981. Michael recorded a new demo with studio
musicians in April 1982 in Los Angeles. Paul liked this version so much that he only had to add his vocals in February 1983.
Following the release of Thriller and most of its singles, ‘Say Say Say’ was released on October 3, 1983. – see CD 1, track 2.

4 - Say Say Say - Special Version – remix by John "Jellybean" Benitez, released on the 12" vinyl single
5 - Say Say Say – Instrumental – released on the 12" vinyl single
6 - Ode to a Koala Bear - alternate mix, with Paul singing ‘Koala style bear’ instead of ‘Koala type bear’. This was released in
Australia, on the 7" of ‘Say Say Say’.
7 - Pipes of Peace - single edit – December 5, 1983 as the second UK single of Pipes of Peace. This edit can also be found on
All The Best!, released on November 2, 1987. In the US ‘So Bad’ was the a-side.
8 - That'll Be The Day – a Buddy Holly cover, recorded live with Tracey Ullman, on June 7, 1984 for the TV-show Aspel &
Company.

engineer John VanNest. There’s no involvement from Paul at all-in this version. Released on January 25, 2008 on the cd-single
'The Girl is Mine 2008'.
10 - The Girl Is Mine - ‘New Edited Promo’ – a US promo of the album/single version, with just 9 seconds removed!
11 - The Girl Is Mine 2008 with will.i.am – in November 2007, Black Eyed Peas’s singer will.I.am (William Adams) remixed
Jackson’s demo and added own his vocals and a new verse written with the aid of Keith Harris. This 'New Edited Version' was
released on January 25, 2008, to promote the album Thriller 25.
12 - The Girl Is Mine 2008 Club Mix with will.i.am – in December 2007will.I.am remixed what he had done with the song

!116
once more. This was released as the second song of the cd-single.
13-16 - Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U) - Dutch producers Koen Groeneveld and Addy van der Zwan sampled ‘Say Say Say’ and
released the result asa new song by the house group Hi_Tack, on December 6, 2005. It peaked at number three in Finland. The
three versions were all on the cd-single.
17 - Say Say Say 2015 – a remix by Steve Orchard and Mark "Spike" Stent, released on October 6, 2015 to accompany a new
videoclip. On the new version, which is over three minutes longer than the original, the opening of the first verse is sung by
Jackson instead of McCartney. Also released on 12” vinyl on November 27, 2015 for Record Store Day backed with the
instrumental mix
18 - Say Say Say 2015 Radio Edit - A radio edit of the remix, released for streaming on October 30, 2015 and on a UK promo.
19 - Say Say Say 2015 Instrumental - an instrumental version of the remix, available for download at paulmccartney.com.

Note:
In Feb 1984, Parlophone and CBS were ready to issue a third single & maxi single from Pipes of Peace:
7” single: ‘The Man’ / ‘Blackpool’
12” single: ‘The Man (Long Version)’ / ‘The Man (Instrumental)’
The single was cancelled at the last minute, and replaced with the Linda McCartney 12” single ‘Love's Full Glory’ + 2 tracks.
‘The Man’ did get a release on 7” – in Peru, backed with ‘Through Our Love’. There were also 7″- promo singles in Peru and
Spain.

BROAD STREET

!119
!120
!

"From the sublime to the ridiculous", as the man said. Did someone also say they couldn't wait another day?? Well wait no
more - the Ultimate Archive Collection of Give My Regards To Broad Street is finally finished!! While this will never be
considered one of Paul's greatest albums, there are enough interesting moments that I got to re-discover while putting this
together. Also, there's a bunch of nice extras to hopefully make this interesting enough for those of you who may not care for
this album. Of course all the various mixes/edits of No More Lonely Nights are here, including both Baker edits, the Mole Mix
+ the Warren Sanford edit. No, I didn't re-create the edit yet as just putting together the artwork took most of my free time these
past few days. I will try to have a go at it over the next day or two and if I like the results, I'll sub it in. As for the ballad
version, despite what the 45 label reads, the versions found on the 45 and on Wingspan (or All The Best for that matter) are
identical. There's no shorter fade (mind you, I'm going by the US 45 here). I did include the 45 edit of the Playout Version, as
that has the clean intro (which was conveniently lopped off Wingspan!) It's all here, folks.

Now, as most of you already know, the vinyl LP version of Broad Street provides a different listening experience as several
songs are edited, two whole songs are cut and there's a tighter segue between Not Such A Bad Boy and No Values. Well, since
the programmable feature of Red Rose Speedway seemed to go over well, I decided that a good way to present both variants
(CD + LP) without using extra disc space would be rather than include both versions in their entirety, to only include those LP

!121
tracks which had differences to the CD counterpart, and allow them to be programmed to play alongside the rest of the album
to present the LP line-up should one desire to hear it. So, if you'd like to hear the original LP line-up, program the following
tracks in order (either in iTunes or while ripping to CD): 1-1, 2-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 1-7, 1-8, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 1-13, 2-7, 1-15 +
1-8. And by the way, I tried to present the incidental pieces as intelligently as possible. The original Columbia CD had too
many (and had occasionally placed the markers in odd locations), the '93 remaster had too few, so I wanted to get it "just right",
so I brought back "Corridor Music" as its own track, but kept the "No More Lonely Nights (ballad reprise)" as its rightful place
as the bluesy coda to No Values. BTW, I wanted to use the version of No Values with the extended coda (from the movie) very
much, but in the end had no room for it. So there's yet ANOTHER track for the Rarities comp!

As far as extras go, there's only a few that made sense (and would fit). Both versions of We All Stand Together had to go here
as that was Paul's only other release from 1984. And as promised months ago, I've also included every variant of released on
record/CD. That includes the 45, the three versions from the 12" single and the Art Of Noise version (which is basically the
"Alternative Version" (known to his friends as Tom) with an intro that was cut from the mix as released on 12" single at the end
of '85. Between all that, the No More Lonely Nights mixes, the two We All Stand Together versions and all the different LP
versions, there was enough material to completely fill two CDs. So that's what I did, complete with disc artwork (created from
my own scans of LP labels) and cover/tray art. I hope you guys enjoy this as I felt that with the official Tug Of War Pipes Of
Peace sets now out, it was only fitting to complete the "George Martin trilogy"! And so, with ten minutes to spare in the day I'd
promised this would be out, here it is - the seventeenth installment in the "Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection"!
Enjoy!

The soundtrack was recorded between November and December 1982. As Pipes of Peace was planned for October 1983, the
film and soundtrack were postponed to the next year. When the producers felt there was one more new song needed, Paul
responded with ‘No More Lonely Nights’, recorded in a 3 hour session with David Gilmour, Herbie Flowers, Stuart Elliott and
Ann Dudley.
A few weeks later he recorded the song in an up-tempo version, playing all instruments himself, plus horns added. This is the
‘Playout Version’.

It was the last of a trio of album where Paul worked together with George Martin. Both were happy to end the cooperation,
with George declaring that he was tired of Paul’s perfectionism and Paul mentioning that for those costs he could have built a
studio of his own – which he then did: Hog Hill Mill.

18 - No More Lonely Nights 'Special Dance Mix' or 'Extended Play Out Version'.
Arthur Baker remix of the Playout Version. Paul liked this remix better then the already released mixes and withdrew the
original singles and 12”, to replace them with this mix, on October 29, 1984. This however, is the 'Special Dance Edit', released
on a promo 12” vinyl single in the USA.

19 - No More Lonely Nights - 'Special Dance Version'

Edit of Arthur Baker remix of the Playout Version, released on B-side of the second single and 12” maxi of the ‘Ballad’
version. (October 29, 1984)

20 - No More Lonely Nights - Extended Edit by Warren Sanford

Re-edit of George Martin’s 8:10 remix of the Playout Version - Released only for DJ’s in the US, on the 12” vinyl compilation
Hot Tracks, Series 3, Issue 8 in 1985.

CD 2
01 - No More Lonely Nights (45 Version)
Single edit of the Ballad Version, without the dialogue, heard on the album.
Released as a single on September 24, 1984.
‘No More Lonely Nights’ received a BAFTA nomination in the category Best Song and a Golden Globe nomination as Best
Film Song.

04 - Silly Love Songs (ballad reprise)
05 - Not Such A Bad Boy [LP version]
06 - No Values [LP version]
07 - Eleanor Rigby, Eleanor's Dream [LP version]
08 - No More Lonely Nights (playout version) [LP version]

02 – 08 – vinyl album versions

The CD version was 61:10 – too long for one vinyl album.
As the record company didn’t want to release it as a double album, ‘Goodnight Princess’ and ‘So Bad’ were left of the vinyl
version and the other tracks were edited. However some songs were longer on the vinyl then on the CD version. The vinyl
version is 43:54. To confuse matters further ‘Corridor Music’ and ‘Silly Love Songs Reprise’ are listed separately on the vinyl
version (and the Columbia CD), while segueing into the previous song on the CD.
Of course, the cassette version was yet another combination.

09 - No More Lonely Nights (Extended Version)

released as a bonus track on the 1993 British remaster of Give My Regards To Broad Street.

The B-Side of 2-12 was the Humming Version performed by Paul McCartney and the Finchley Frogettes.

14 - Spies Like Us
The title song for the 1985 American comedy film directed by John Landis. As the producers felt it had a high Hard Day’s
Night quality, they wanted a Beatle to write a song for it. Paul recorded it in September 1985, during the Press To Play
sessions. Released on November 18, 1985 it was the first to showcase Paul’s new sound and reached #7 on the singles chart in

He said he likes it in the snow.... A safe statement to make all the way here in July! Let's see how much he likes the damn snow
in January! Anyhoo, Press To Play is up next in the Ultimate Archive series. This was fun to do as there was a lot of vinyl-only
tracks that I tried to present in great sound quality. For some, I think I succeeded. For others, maybe not so much. I'll put it like
this - the 12" of Seaside Woman / B-Side To Seaside I had a decent needle drop available, but the only problem was there was
excessive sibilance going on. So if anyone has very clean vinyl copies of the '86 remix 12" of Seaside Woman and wants to
contribute to the cause, please send along your needle drops! If you cannot make a needle drop, I would be happy to make one
for you - reach out, please!

EDIT - Received very nice 'drops of Tough On A Tightrope + Talk More Talk (12" versions). They have been subbed in to the
folder.
After including all the remixes/edits of the Press To Play material, there really wasn't too much space for anything else. Of
course I've included Simple As That along with "upgraded" versions of Yvonne's The One (the lone outtake that's circulating
from these sessions) along with the unedited rough mix of Good Times Coming/Feel The Sun (the one truly significant
alternate version in that it's two minutes longer than the released version). For the unreleased extended versions, they will
definitely be appearing on the Rarities set, so fear not. And of course I'll be using the live Only Love Remains when I get

around to Tripping The Live Fantastic...

In the meantime, here's my take on Press To Play...

"Well, I never felt more like singing the blues..." Oh yeah, Paul, I'm right with you there! Before I begin, I want to say THANK
YOU (!!!!) to everyone who wished me well. It looks like your wishes helped do the trick, cause whatever I had, it seemed like
a 24-hour thing. I'm sure taking a day off work helped me somewhat, and FINALLY finishing these two will help me feel a
whole lot better as well!! That is, until the NEXT one is due..

Anyway, I'm sorry these took a few days later than usual, but I think you'll agree that they were worth the wait. For Choba, it
was a pretty basic affair. Once I put the album in place along with the released outtakes (and one edited version), the only
logical extra was the two medleys that first surfaced on the Trevor Jones tapes in 2010. I was prepared to clean up what we'd
had on 'Let 'Em Out' and use those, but fate sometimes can be your best friend. In this case, it was Nando to the rescue! Hello,
Nando! Nando graciously shared with all of us a fresh transfer from the original cassette, and it sounds amazing! I took that
transfer and tweaked it slightly to bring it in line sonically with the released tracks and included it here (with his permission).
Instead of just having them as two long medleys, I broke up the tracks, so if you just want to listen to the stuff that didn't make
it onto the LP, you can now program just those tracks. The artwork was fun to do, as I got to utilize both pressings of the
original Russian LP. Each one had utilized a completely different back cover, so it was nice to be able to use both. BTW, this
would be a good time to give a shout out to all my Russian friends who I know have been enjoying this series all along! Hey,

!134
guys! привет из Нью-Йорка!

So with these two, that makes 35 finished titles (zounds!), with but a mere ten to go. What will we do when it's all over?? That
is a question for another day. For now, there's Good Rockin' Tonight!

NOTES:
Whenever Paul McCartney feels it’s time for change in direction, he’ll get back to the music of his youth: the rock ‘n’ roll
singles he loved as a 16-year old.

When the modern sound of Press To Play wasn’t the commercial success he expected, Paul new it was time to get back to his
roots. So, on two days in July 1987, he gathered a bunch of musicians in his new Hog Hill Mill Studios, in Sussex. The brief
was simple: a title of a Fifties song, we do it in C and the solo’s is after the second verse. Let’s go. One or two takes and then:
next song.

Paul was happy with the results and had some records pressed as a Christmas present for family and friends. At the same time,
four songs were released as extra tracks on the maxi singles of ‘Once Upon a Long Ago‘: ‘Midnight Special‘, ‘Don’t Get
Around Much Anymore’, ‘Lawdy Miss Clawdy’ and ‘Kansas City’.

Pauls new manager, Richard Ogden, came with a great idea: why not release the tracks in Russia, as a special ‘gift‘ to all those
fans, who for years didn’t have access to the music of The Beatles? It’s a nice gesture with the perestroika and all that, plus it’s
great promotion.

After some negotiations, the Russian record company Melodija released an 11 songs album on October 31, 1988 as Снова в
СССР (Back in the USSR). Initially 50 000 copies were pressed.

When they were sold out in no time, before the year-end a second pressing was made of 350 000 copies. This had two extra
tracks: ‘I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday‘ and ‘Summertime‘ and, on the back sleeve, the original notes by Andre Gavrilov
were replaced by new ones by Roy Carr.

As many fans tried to get a copy (my mother in law brought mine in Moscow) Paul decided to make it a worldwide release two
years later: September 30, 1991in Europe (on Parlophone) and a month later October 29 in the USA (on Capitol Records). Of
course, this cd-release had another extra track added: ‘I’m in Love Again‘.

All songs recorded on July 20 and 21, 1987 and mixed on July 22.

1 - Kansas City – first released on October 16, 1987 on 12" single ‘Once Upon a Long Ago’ (version 2), plus on all version of

31-38 - Rock 'n' Roll Sequenced Compilation – part 2
On August 20, 1987, two medleys were assembled from sessions, for promotional purposes. Interesting is that these include
(parts of) songs that would not be included on the official releases. These medleys (also known as Choba B CCP Medley I and
II) were leaked online in April 2010, presumably from cassettes from the legacy of former Wings roadie Trevor Jones,
auctioned off by Christie's in 1998.

Note: in Spain, the Russian album was released in December 1988 in the form of five 7” vinyl singles.

FANTASTIC

"All my trials... will soon be over..." And so it is as we creep closer and closer to the end of this project. As for now, we have
two different slices of the same pie. First up, is an expanded version of 'Tripping The Live Fantastic', which remarkably pretty
much nailed in how it's being presented. Either that, or I'm starting to become predictable by this point! Either way, I've added
some of the live b-sides to the end of the first two discs to utilize that valuable space at the end of the discs and went to town
for disc three, using it to gather up a lot of live Paul from 1985-1990. A few things I did not include were a) the live Only Love
Remains, which doesn't quite fit in here and will be saved for 'Rarities', b) the live tracks found on 'On The Road To Rio'. Don't
get me wrong, the tracks were in excellent quality, but they just weren't different enough to warrant inclusion here. I may use
some on 'Rarities', depending on how it all shakes out. I've included Knebworth from the video, which included four songs as
opposed to the CD which only gave us two. I'll likely utilize the CD versions on 'Rarities' as well. Some cool things included:
the four different "intros" for 'Birthday', found on a rare sampler (thanks, Charlie! ) along with the promo edit of Sgt. Pepper.
Now this edit was only released on a reel-to-reel tape (in 1990?? WTF??!!) and I don't have either the tape or a machine to play
the tape. However, the edit is broken down in Eight Arms To Hold You, so using that as a guideline, I re-created the edit.
Should anyone out there be willing and able to provide an actual recording of the reel tape, I'd be happy to use it!

TRIPPING THE LIFE FANTASTIC - ULTIMATE ARCHIVE COLLECTION

CD 1, 1-19 & CD 2, 1-18 - Tripping the Life Fantastic, a two cd or three album live album, documenting Paul McCartney’s
return to the world of touring. You can find when and where every song was recorded on the Wikipedia page, so I’m not going
to repeat that here.

To differentiate the official live album a bit from the many bootlegs that were floating around, something extra was added in
the form of some songs recorded during soundchecks. Some more songs were released as bonus tracks on the singles.

CD 1
20 - Good Day Sunshine – recorded on December 9, 1989 in the Forum, Montreal, and released on October 8, 1990, on the 7"
& 12" vinyl single & 5" cd-single of ‘Birthday’.
21 - C Moon – recorded on October 26, 1989, during the soundcheck in Palatrussardi, Milan, Italy and released on the 7” &
12” & cd singles of ‘All My Trials’.
22 - All My Trials – recorded the next day in Milan, and released only in the UK, on November 26,1990 as a7",a 12" single and
two different cd-singles. All versions had ‘C Moon’ as second track. The 12” vinyl and the first cd single had live versions of
‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Put It There’ as extra’s, the second cd single had the Lennon tribute medley ‘Strawberry Fields
Forever’/‘Help!’/‘Give Peace a Chance’.

CD 2
19 - Let 'Em In – recorded on March 5, 1990 in Tokyo, and released on October 8, 1990, on the 12" vinyl single & 5" cd-single
of ‘Birthday’.
20 - Mull of Kintyre – recored on June 23, 1990 in Glasgow, Scotland and released on some version of the ‘All My Trials’
single.

CD 3
1 - Let It Be – recorded live during the finale of Live Aid in Wembley Stadium, London, on July 13, 1985. As there were issued
with the vocal microphone, Paul fixed this in the studio, the next day. This version was released on the Live Aid dvd
(November 8, 2004) and also on the dvd The McCartney Years (November 12, 2007).

2-4 – Paul returned to the Wembley Arena for The Prince's Trust 10th Anniversary Birthday Party, on June 20, 1986. A live
album of the concert, released on May 4, 1987, included the live version of ‘Get Back’ with Tina Turner. British copies of the
album also contained a bonus single with two more contributions by Macca: ‘Long Tall Sally’ on one side and ‘I Saw Her
Standing There’ on the other.

5-6 – On November 19, 1987, Paul recorded two songs in the BBC Televison Theatre in Sheperd’s Bush, London, for Wogan.
The band was: Keith Airey (guitar), Gary Barnacle (sax), Chris Whitten (drums), Linda (keyboards) en Nicky Hopkins (piano).
The songs, ‘Jet’ and ‘Listen to What the Man Said’, were chosen as Paul was there to promote his recent compilation All The
Best. Wogan was shown the next day.

!147
7-9 – Six weeks later, on November 27, 1987, recorded three songs in the Ewart Television Studios, London for Channel 4’s
The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross. This time he promoted his Russian album, accompanied by Steve Nieve and the Playboys:
Paul and Kevin Armstrong on electric guitars, Steve Naive on piano, Pete Thomas on drums and Steve Lawrence bass. In his
memoir Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, Elvis Costello explains that he accompanied Paul to the studio, not knowing
that he would meet his estranged ex-band members there.

10-11 – on May 22, 1989 Paul and his new band flew with a private jet to Holland to promote his new single. The Van Gogh
museum was opened especially for them. After a few hours of interviews to the Belgian and Dutch press, they rehearsed for
half an hour in the Concordia Theater in Bussum, followed by the recording for Countdown, with a live public. The songs
however were playbacked: ‘My Brave Face’ and ‘How Many People’. Only the jammed ‘Batman Theme’ was live. After
exactly 8 hours in The Netherlands, they fly back to Lydd Airpiort.

12 - Put It There – recorded live on September 28, 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden. This is the single version from the ‘All My
Trials’ single.

13 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - recorded live in Los Angeles, on November 23, 1989. This edit was released in
1990 on a US reel-to-reel 1 track promo.

14 - P.S. Love Me Do – a bad idea done live! On April 21, 1990 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Released on October 8, 1990 on the
European 12" single & 5" cd-single ‘Birthday’. In the US it appeared only on a cassette single.

15-18 - Birthday I.D. Intro – four (very short) versions, released only in the US, on a Various Artists promo compilation:
Capitol Records CDPRO Sampler VOL #23

19 – Birthday – here is is, finally: the ‘Birthday’ single! Recorded live in Knebworth – see below.

20-23 – On June 30, 1990 was top of the bill on the Knebworth festival. Two tracks appeared on the double live album
Knebworth: The Album (August 6, 1990): ‘Coming Up’ and ‘Hey Jude’. Three weeks later, on August 28, followed the VHS
Knebworth: The Event, with four songs: the two from the album, plus ‘Birthday’ and ‘Can't Buy Me Love’. A DVD version
appeared on November 19, 2002.

24 -Strawberry Fields Forever - Help - Give Peace A Chance - The Lennon Medley was recorded live in King's Dock Arena,
Liverpool on June 28, 1990 and released on some versions of the ‘All My Trials’ single.

GET BACK

!150
!151
!

This brings us to 'Get Back'... Until the other day, I had no intention of doing this as a separate title. I was going to make
Tripping four discs and just include the audio from this as disc four. But just because I plan something one way in my head
doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna pan out that way when I start actually putting it all together. So in this case, I realized that
the DVD was 90 minutes and wouldn't fit on a disc by itself, and that while there is certainly not the breadth of interesting
soundchecks for this tour available as what's available for the '93 tour (or 'Unplugged', for that matter), there were definitely
few that I felt needed to be included. This meant that either Tripping was going to have to be five discs (other than possibly
Rarities + Talk More Talk, I am trying to avoid having any set be more than four discs) or -DING!- Get Back would wind up as
it's own release. So that's what I did here, and as a bonus of sorts, I've included the vinyl version of the Tripping.. Highlights
LP. i did this because it's a quite unusual release for Paul in that it's so different to what was put out on CD. So I felt it deserved
to be archived. Plus, the version of All My Trials has a different intro to the single, so there's that as well. I just came up with
the artwork over the past 24 hours or so, and for being a bit of a rush job, I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. I cheated
a bit for the disc art, as by 1990-91, Capitol had stopped using the revived rainbow label. However, I like the label and wanted
to use it somehow, so why not here? Anyway, it is what it is...

So with these two, the list now stands at eight. I pretty much have the rest of the series mapped out in my head, with the

!152
exception of Flaming Pie for obvious reasons. I'm going away for the next several days (another reason why I wanted to finish
this up tonight), but I'll get right back to work on the next one as soon as I get back! :good: Till then, I'd like to introduce my
wife, Gertrude Higgins!

NOTES:

CD 1, 1-19 & CD 2, 1-2 – soundtrack of the concert film Get Back. Director Richard Lester documents The Paul McCartney
World Tour of 1989–1990, mainly with footage from two concerts: the July 15, 1989 concert in Philadelphia, PA and a October
25, 1991 show in Montreal, Canada. The sound however comes from concerts in Rotterdam, Montreal, Hamburg, Toronto,
Birmingham, Zürich, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The movie premiered on September 20, 1991 and was available on VHS from October 25, 1991 in Europe and two months
later in the USA.
In July 2011 appeared a DVD with 5.1-mixes.

CD 2
3 - Alan Crowder At Caesar's Palace – jam recorded during rehearsals for the world tour, at The Barn At The Mill, Sussex, in
spring 1989.

4-7 – soundcheck at the Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, AZ on April 4, 1990

8-19 – the vinyl version of Tripping the Live Fantastic: Highlights!, released on November 19, 1990. Basically the same
performances were chosen as those on the main set, except for ‘All My Trials’ that was added to the UK version of the cd and
all the vinyl version. That song was only played once, on the Milan gig on October 27, 1989.

UNPLUGGED
(THE OFFICIAL BOOTLEG)
!154
!155
!156
!

"Well, I never felt more like singing the blues..." Oh yeah, Paul, I'm right with you there! Before I begin, I want to say THANK
YOU (!!!!) to everyone who wished me well. It looks like your wishes helped do the trick, cause whatever I had, it seemed like
a 24-hour thing. I'm sure taking a day off work helped me somewhat, and FINALLY finishing these two will help me feel a
whole lot better as well!! That is, until the NEXT one is due..

'Unplugged' was the reason these titles were delayed, and I'll tell ya why... Originally, I had planned on just making it a single
disc, with just the album, the b-sides and the MTV VA album edit of We Can Work It Out (basically, what wound up as disc one
of this set). I'd originally listed it that way on page one of this thread, and that was that. Some of you saw this and asked me to
reconsider as there were a lot of other things worth including, like the complete show, for starters. I thought about it and figured
I'd then make it a 2-CD set, with the second disc featuring the complete show, albeit edited slightly to fit on a CD (sort of like
what I did for 'Up Close'). However, once I started pulling this set together, I realized that I would then be leaving off all the
cool rehearsals for the show that Paul shared with us on his 'Oobu Joobu' radio show. And I also wouldn't be able to include the
"banded" versions of the live b-sides that were commercially released (only the 'Biker Like An Icon' promo CD single had the
three live tracks flowing together as they do at the end of disc on on this set). Plus, the complete show ran 96 minutes, which
would mean I'd have to cut off 16 minutes, meaning a song or two would have to go as well. What to do, what to do?? Well, the

!157
results are what you now see here - I decided once and for all to make it THREE discs (though not full to capacity - they
average about 73 minutes each), with the rehearsals, the FULL show, and all the other goodies. Putting together the full show
was a tricky task. There was a bootleg box set that came out a while back that had listed the "full show", and while it did have
almost all of the songs in great quality, it a) didn't have everything, and b) was not sequenced in the correct order, and c) had
some bad editing. I did have the full video, which I used as a reference to know where everything (music, chatter, etc.)
belonged. It didn't have the best audio quality, but it was essential to patch in some parts that were otherwise missing. So, I am
proud to include the complete show here, edited together from the best sources available. These sources are (in order of
preference used) a) the released album + b-sides, b) the great sounding, yet incomplete bootleg, and finally c) the video.
Thankfully, I only had to use the video sparingly... I think you'll like this one as putting it together made me really enjoy this
album / project from Paul all the more. The released album was fine, but it wasn't the whole show, and that prevented me from
being able to fully enjoy it. Now, I can pull this set out (and so can YOU!) and listen to this show as it happened. And what a
show it is. Here's hoping that this album someday gets Paul's Archive treatment and he gives us the full audio + video. If you
need help, Paul, I work cheaply + quickly!

So with these two, that makes 35 finished titles (zounds!), with but a mere ten to go. What will we do when it's all over?? That
is a question for another day. For now, there's Good Rockin' Tonight!

NOTES:
On January 25, 1991, PAUl McCartney and his band gave an intimate concert for circa 200 people in the Limehouse Television
Studios in Wembley. The concert was filmed and recorded by director Bruce Gowers for the TV company MTV in their series
of Unplugged concerts. The aim of the series was to show featured musicians performing unplugged versions of their electric
repertoire.

The show was recorded in under two and a half hours (including breaks) and, with a couple of small exceptions, the versions
on the official releases and broadcast were done in one take. Of this 48 minutes were distilled for the actual TV program, that
was debuted on April 3, 1991 in the U.S. and on August 26, 1991 in the U.K.

Paul was so happy with the results that he decided to compile a live album from it (mixed by Geoff Emerick). This would
become the first Unplugged album. Other artists would follow, like Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen
and Nirvana.

Unplugged (The Official Bootleg) was originally released as a limited edition of 250.000 copies on vinyl and “less than a
million” worldwide on cd.

Paul promoted the live album with some special concerts throughout Europe. These shows had an acoustic and an electric part
and took place in small concert halls with less than 4.000 people.

To date the only officially released video footage from the show are new cropped widescreen edits of 'I Lost My Little Girl',
'Every Night', 'And I Love Her' and 'That Would Be Something' on 2007's 'The McCartney Years' DVD set.

OFF THE GROUND

!161
!162
!

"Why can't Santa Claus have any kids???" Well, the answer to that and other tantalizing questions will be revealed right here as
it's my pleasure to unveil the long anticipated Ultimate Archive releases of both Off The Ground and Up Close! For Off The
Ground, I added all the relevant B-sides, much like the Off The Ground - The Complete Works 2-CD set (from the
Netherlands) did back in '93, however, on my set I've included the B-sides in the proper order, namely as released. Also, I've
omitted the Unplugged tracks as they belong on THAT album instead (not coming anytime soon, so don't hold your breath.
Y'know, I don't want anyone turning PURPLE around here! I have also added all the remixes from the various promo/
commercial Off The Ground singles along with both commercially released versions of the Deliverance 12". As the video for
that song features an otherwise unavailable edit of the first remix, I've included that as well. Speaking of edits, I've included
both the promo + video edits of C'mon People (they are slightly different!) along with a few other tracks from the era, like the
early take of Winedark Open Sea, the "basic tracks" version of Hope Of Deliverance, the R.A.D.D. version of Drive My Car
and the Eddie Murphy track he contributed to - the Barnes & Barnes "tribute", Yeah. All in all, these two CDs have just about
any song from this era that you could think of/hope for from this era. And yea, for the packaging, I decided to go the style of
the LP and give the off-white border around the cover art. Also, the discs themselves are patterned after the two LP labels. I
tried to get this one as right as possible, guys.

!165
UP CLOSE

!166
!167
!168
!

For Up Close, I basically had to create an album from scratch. This is the complete show, taken from Paul's follow-up to the
very successful Unplugged set he did for MTV. This time he went electric, and the show was recorded live at the Ed Sullivan
Theater in beautiful New York City on December 10, 1992. The only thing I had to go by for this release was the 1993 Yellow
Cat boot CD Looking For Changes. That CD had a host of problems, including a) it was off-speed, b) the sound was muffled,
c) it was missing a song, d) the transitions between tracks were noticeable as between-song edits were made to cut a 90-minute
show down to 77 or so minutes for the disc. These edits were not done with any finesse and each one sticks out like a sore
thumb, making for an awful lot of sore thumbs on one CD! Oh, and there was also e) the lousy cover art that was on that disc
as well. We here at Voo-Doo Records tried to address all of those problems one by one. So for this release, you'll find that the
speed has been corrected, the sound has been gently tweaked to give it a more natural sound, and more like the rest of his
catalog, the missing song HAS been re-instated! Yes, this CD has all the songs from the show, so to compensate I did have to
cut out some of the dialogue between tracks (a good portion of which was the make-up lady coming out to get Paulie all pretty-
like for the fancy MTV cameras). For my set, I tried to make the edits/transitions as smooth as possible so they hopefully go by
without being noticeable. If you A/B the '93 boot CD (or a video of the COMPLETE show), you can see where the edits were. I
had the option of making this a 2-CD set, but the idea of having this as two 45-minute CDs really didn't appeal to me, and I
liked the idea of cutting out the dead spaces with the make-up lady and so on, so I made the decision to cut it all down to a CD

!169
that clocks in just under eighty minutes.

For the cover, I thought long and hard about what ideas to use. Of course, I turned to y'all to see if anyone had any decent
photos from the show (turns out you didn't. Boo!). As fate would have it, there was an Up Close Press Kit up for sale on ebay at
this time that included a few slides that were taken at the show. So I bought that and converted the slides to digital (the lengths
I go), and then turned one of 'em into the black and white, degraded image you see on the cover! By this point I had the idea of
making the cover like Choba + Unplugged and so wanted to replicate the image quality of those covers. So there ya go! Ditto
the back cover of the disc, which I tried to replicate the Unplugged CD back cover as close as possible. Don't worry LP fans -
when it comes time to do the actual Unplugged disc, I'm sure I'll replicate the LP back cover, Spanish liner notes and all. For
the label, once again I drew inspiration from the current label Capitol records was using at the time, namely the updated purple
label. For fun, sit this one next to the Thrillington label and pick out the differences! Any way, thanks to all your patience as I
got these ready to the point where I was really satisfied with them. And I am. So, enjoy two slices of Macca, circa 1992!

On December 10, 1992 Paul returns to the scene of The Beatles' historic live American TV debut on February 9, 1964: the Ed
Sullivan Theater in New York City. 'I got the strangest feeling of déjà vu. I feel like I've been here, I don't know what it was.
Some previous life, probably!'
The purpose is to present both his new album (Off The Ground) and to promote a new tour. The occasion is a new show of
MTV, following the hugely successful Unplugged series: Up Close.

Two consecutive days Paul and his band (Linda, Hamish, Blair, Robbie and Wix), play the same show for the 750 attendants.
There are two electric sets, with an acoustic set in the middle. For the final four songs Paul takes place at his Yamaha piano.
Apart from nine new songs of Off The Ground (‘Big Boys Bickering’ was then still considered as part of the tracklist), there
are three Beatles songs never played live before: ‘Fixing a Hole,’ ‘Penny Lane’ and ‘Michelle’. Also noteworthy are the new
arrangements of two more Beatles songs: 'Can't Buy Me Love' is presented in a Country style, while the Bo Diddley beat of ‘I
Wanna Be Your Man’ is accentuated.

NOTES:
Up Close is premiered on MTV in America on Wednesday February 3,1993. It’s an abbreviated set with 13 tracks: 1-7, 10-12,
15-19 & 21. It is repeated regularly over the next months.
In the UK, Up Close is transmitted on BBC1 during the Easter Weekend on Bank Holiday Monday April 12, 1993.

The complete and unedited set appeared first on the 1993 two-cd bootleg First Night. By cutting the comments, Dave was able
to present it in a way that you can get it all one shiny disc.

Well, it certainly hasn't been a boring day, has it?? Well, at the end of it all, yes this series will continue. Thanks for all the
support I've received. It was very touching to see how much this series has meant to all of you. It means a lot to me, as well. I'll
re-do the links to the older titles soon enough. I just wanted to get this out already. This was an album I wasn't looking forward
to doing, in all honesty. I mean how was I going to get around the fact that about a third of the show was missing? Plus there
were all those soundcheck songs to consider... Oy vey!

Well, I took what seemed to me to be the best approach to presenting this album, given what's available. Instead of presenting
the album "as is", and then go on with the bonus tracks, I've decided to add the extra songs from the video at the end of the
main album, relegating the soundcheck songs to the next disc. Doing so allowed for all the live tracks that were released (both
on CD + video) to be included on one disc. For the second disc, I decided to present the remaining tracks from the average
concert, all taken from Live Tonight, and mixed together to sound like a continuous concert. I've decided to open the disc with
Looking For Changes, which also appeared on disc one, as it seemed like a good opener, plus given Paul's introductions for the
following two tracks made more sense (you'll hear what I mean). I've also opted to include the three tracks Paul played on SNL
as they were all excellent performances (plus had Get Out Of My Way, which wasn't on Paul Is Live or Live Tonight.
Following that, I started the soundcheck material. First up was the stuff from Paul Is Live, followed immediately by the

!174
soundcheck stuff from the 25th Anniversary of Band On The Run. Then Mother Nature's Son, Can't Buy Me Love (hoedown
version) and the two tracks Paul did with Carl Perkins that were aired on Oobu Joobu.

Speaking Of Oobu Joobu, disc three became my attempt at creating a "best of" playlist of songs aired on Oobu Joobu that were
from '93-era soundchecks. I tried to pick the most fun / unusual tracks and tried to sequence the songs so it flowed well.
Speaking of "flow", as these tracks all stem from radio broadcasts, intros + outros have been obscured in some fashion for the
most part. To combat this, I've segued the tracks so they flow into one another. I think it came out pretty nice, and almost
sounds like a radio show of its own. To close the set, I picked something that wasn't from Oobu Joobu (and was an off-line
recording to boot) - the great cover of 1969's reggae classic, Island In The Sun. I'm very happy with the way the audio came out
for this one and I think you'll enjoy it as well. I'm sure there are some of you who would have rather had one track or another
that I've neglected to use, and I can't wait to hear about it in the feedback...

The artwork, as always was last and I had fun airbrushing out the label copy for the disc labels. For the cover art, I stretched the
original in places so it would fit the rectangular CD case. I think it looks pretty cool this way.

Anyway, thanks again for all of your support today. It is appreciated more than you know!

NOTES:
To promote Off the Ground, Paul started a tour in February 1993. When thinking how to call it, apparently nobody had much
inspiration , so it was simply called: New World Tour. After four concerts in Europe, there were ten concerts Down Under in
March, followed by 23 concerts in North America and Canada.
As the record company wanted some ‘product’ for Christmas, Paul and Geoff Emerick spent July 1993 in Hog Hill Mill
Studios to select and mix live-shows and soundchecks for a live album. As it followed so soon after the triple vinyl Tripping
the Live Fantastic (1990) and Unplugged (1991), this was presented as a single cd.
Paul Is Live was released on November 15, 1993 in the UK and Europe and a day later in the USA.

In September the tour continued with 28 concerts through Europe, then five concerts in Japan to finish in November with eight
concerts in South America.

"Have you ever had an out of body experience??" When people start asking questions like that it's either because a) too much
acid, or b) it's time for another installment of the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive series! This time around, it's a double-shot
of the first two Fireman LPs. To be truthful, there really isn't too much I could do to make these 'Ultimate' editions. For the first
album, there was no known period recordings that I could use to beef the album up, plus with a running time of 77 minutes,
there really wasn't a whole lot of room to include any had there been suitable bonus tracks. So for this album, I've included the
Rushes LP version of 'Bison', which is faded quite early by comparison to the "Long One" version which I've substituted in its
place on the Rushes LP. In addition to that, Rushes includes the three remixes of Fluid, taken from the promo 3-track CD
single. By doing it this way, we wind up with two very packed CDs, which is how I like it!

The thought was there to try and include the live promotional webcast of the Fireman as a bonus for Rushes, but to be honest,
the lo-fi sound quality of it really turned me off. Remember, this was quite early in the evolution of webcasts, and had to use an
extremely low sample rate. Consequently, it sounds like an AM radio broadcast, which is the sort of thing I'm trying to avoid
for this series. Should Paul ever do an official Archive release of this album, I really hope he gives us this broadcast in perfect
quality. One can dream, right??

!180
For those who haven't yet given these albums a try, I think you might find that Rushes is quite the remarkable album. If you go
into it NOT expecting a typical McCartney album (and happen to be a fan of Pink Floyd tracks like Shine On You Crazy
Diamond or Echoes), you might really get a kick out of this!

Anyway, here's two more off that huge list. I still have one or two more planned before the end of the year. But for now... just
turn of your mind, relax and float downstream....

NOTES:
Shortly after the final work on the album Off The Ground, Paul wanted to make a some remixes for 12” singles. He invited
Martin Glover, alias Youth to his Hog Hill Mill Studio to work on the mixes, together with engineer Chris Potter and
programmer Matt Austin. Martin was the bass player from the post punk band Killing Joke, but in the early nineties also
formed a techno and house music duo Blue Pearl with American singer Durga McBroom.

Paul wanted that only his own music was used: so, no samples from James Brown tracks. Instead of working from one track at
the time, Youth suggested to start from samples. Most of them from the Off the Ground sessions, but also some spoken word
pieces from ‘The Broadcast’ and ‘Reception’ (from the final Wings album Back To the Egg) were used. Paul added some loops
of mellotron, acoustic bass, recorder and banjo. These preparations were made on October 7 to 9, 1992.

During a long session on October 11 they made nine different mixes, for which different elements were used. The purpose was
to edit them into one song.
But Paul liked the results so much that he decided to release them as an album, using a new identity: The Fireman.

On November 15, 1993 - thirteen months after the sessions - Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest was released in the UK, both as
a double vinyl album on clear vinyl and a cd. Another three months passed by before the album was released in the USA, on
February 22, 1994.
As nobody knew Paul McCartney was involved, the album didn’t gather much attention.

In the UK ‘Transpiritual Stomp’ was released, in November 1993, on a 12” vinyl single, with ‘Arizona Light’ as b-side –
retitled as ‘Arizona Light Mix’.

Track 10 - Bison – 2:58 – a track from the second The Fireman album, Rushes.

Indeed "Soon" means SOON, and in this case, it means RIGHT NOW! Yes, it is time for a further installment of the not-quite-
a-year-old Ultimate Archive Collection series. That is if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna do it again! This title was a
long time coming, and up until a few weeks ago, it looked like this title wasn't going to come out at all! I do take the work I put
into making these as good as they can be quite seriously, and I didn't want to have a flawed version of this out there with shitty
sounding early mixes on it. I let Speed Of Sound go out like that only because at the time those were the best versions of those
songs to appear. However, thanks to nando (hi, nando!) and his incredible generosity, we now have the Speed Of Sound roughs
in fantastic quality. Yes, I will at some point be upgrading the UAC of that title at some point! And now, we have yet another
incredibly generous gentleman to thank for an extremely rare upload! This time, it was carose who came up with the goods -
the goods in question being the extremely rare (30 copies made) 3-track promo sampler of Flaming Pie! According to 'Eight
Arms', all three tracks are early mixes, different to what wound up on Flaming Pie. Not quite true. I've a/b-ed The World
Tonight from both the cassette and the regular version, and they are absolutely identical! No mix variants to be found at all! So
scratch that one from the list! It makes one wonder if the supposed early mix of Beautiful Night is different as well... At any
rate, I am extremely happy to finally be able to offer excellent versions of the early mixes of both Young Boy and Somedays
from that tape. I've cleaned both up (slight hiss reduction, light eq and speed correction) as best as I can. I'm also happy to
include the extremely rare "censored" version of Linda's The Light Comes From Within, taken directly from the original cd-r

!185
acetate. Add to that all six installments of the Oobu Joobu series that was doled out on the Flaming Pie CD singles, all three
versions of The Ballad Of The Skeletons (the track Paul recorded with Allen Ginsberg), the two contemporary b-sides and
Linda's final two recordings (which means that the entire Wide Prairie LP is now available on various volumes of the UAC
series), and that adds up to two completely packed CDs! I was going to include a cobbled together version of Beautiful Night
as a placeholder, should the true early mix ever pop up, but there was just no room here. So, it will appear on Rarities, along
with many other orphaned tracks of this sort! But let's not worry about that just yet. Right now, I'm very proud to offer my
version of one of Paul's very best albums. Enjoy!

NOTES:
There’s a four year gap between Off The Ground (1993) and Flaming Pie (1997). That’s mainly due to a world tour and the
work on The Beatles Anthology. The album was recorded in several locations over two years, 1995 and 1997.

Nevertheless, there’s two songs that were recorded in 1992, even before the release of his last studio album. On September 3
Paul recorded the basic tracks with George Martin, in his Hog Hill Mill Studio. ‘Calico Skies’ was written in August 1991, in
Long Island, during a power cut caused by Hurricane Bob. With nothing better to do, Paul wrote the song on an acoustic guitar.
The other song, ‘Great Day’ was much older: written in 1972.

Fast forward to two years later.

In February 1995, while The Treetles put the finishing touches on the second new Beatles single ‘Real Love’, Paul hands over a
cassette to the producer Jeff Lynne. It’s a compilation with some demos, mostly recorded during a recent stay in Jamaica.
While Jeff remembers there were ten songs on it, some reports talk of at least twelve songs that wouldn’t be used on Flaming
Pie. One of them titled ‘Give Me The Right To Freedom’.

Later that month, Paul and his family, plus engineer Geoff Emerick fly to Idaho, where thet have a meeting with Steve Miller.
25 years after ‘My Dark Hour’ they renew their collaboration in Miller’s farm in Sun Valley. There they work for three days on
some songs. On February 22 the basic track of ‘Find Love’ is recorded. Later it twill be recristened to ‘Young Boy’. Paul will
finish the song on his own on March 21 with some overdubs, with mixing the day after.

In May Miller and McCartney reconvene in the Hog Hill Mill studios to record more songs. In about two weeks six songs are
put to tape, beginning with ‘Broomstick’, which ends up as a b-side. Two more songs will find a place on Flaming Pie: ‘If You
Wanna’ and the jam track "’Used to Be Bad’. ‘(Sweet Home) Country Girl’, ‘Soul Boy’ and one more title remain in the
archives.

While the world is getting Beatle crazy once more with the release of the first Anthology cd-box and the television series, Paul
starts working with producer Jeff Lynne. ‘Somedays’ is recorded on November 1, followed by ‘The Song We Were Singing’ on
the 6th, ‘The World Tonight’ on the 13th and ‘Little Willow’ on the 21st. They are all one-day sessions at Hog Hill Mill.

On November 18-19 there’s some diversion, as Paul works at The Church, the studio of Dave Stewart, to finish ‘Whole Life’, a
track they started working on together in May.

There’s a two-month break while Linda has chemo.

!186
On February 19, 1996 Paul and Lynne start working again. ‘Souvenir’ is the first song, followed by ‘Flaming Pie’ – a song
wrote only a few days earlier, while riding horse. It is recorded in a 4 hour session on the 27th.

After another three-month gap, Paul and Jeff continue the collaboration, this time with the aid of Ringo Starr. On May 13 they
record a new version of ‘Beautiful Night’, a song Paul first attempted in August 1986 with Phil Ramone. The day after they
record ‘Looking For You’ and a jam: ‘Really Love You’.

A 14-piece ensemble overdubbed their contribution to ‘Somedays’ on June 10, 1996. George Martin wrote the arrangement.

The songs are finished and mixed in September 1996. On the 16th, a last song is recorded by Paul and Jeff: ‘Heaven on
Sunday’, for which son James adds a guitar solo.

On January 30, 1997 Capitol Records makes a 3-track sampler cassette - allegedly only 30 copies are made. This contains early
mixes of 'World Tonight', 'Young Boy' and ‘Somedays’.

However, on February 14 more work is done on ‘Beautiful Night’, which receives a 38-piece orchestra in Abbey Road, again in
an arrangement by George Martin.

CD 1
Tracks 1-14 – Flaming Pie, released on May 5, 1997 in Europe and two weeks later, on May 20 in the USA.

15 - Looking for You – recorded with Jeff Lynne and Ringo Starr on May 14, 1996 and released in the US on the single 'The
World Tonight', which was the first (and only) US single, on April 17, 1997. In the UK and Europe it appeared on vinyl single
and cd 1 of ‘Young Boy’, on April 28, 1997.

16 – Broomstick – recorded by Paul and Steve Miller on May 4, 1995 and released on April 28, 1997 on cd single 2 of 'Young
Boy'.

17 - The Light Comes From Within – recorded on March 18, 1998, by Paul, Linda and James and released on October 26, 1998
on Linda’s posthumous album Wide Prairie and in January 1999 also as a single.
18 – Appaloosa – recorded on March 17, 1998, by Paul and Linda and also released on Wide Prairie.

19 - Ballad of the Skeletons – recorded in April 1996 - see below – this is the ‘explicit version’, released on October 16, 1996
as a cd single by Allen Ginsberg. Both other versions (CD 2 – tracks 10 and 11) are also to be found on this cd single.

CD 2
In January 1995, Eddy Pumer, producer at Capital Radio (London), was contacted by Paul’s promotion man Joe Reddington to
make a radio series titled, “Oobu Joobu”. Originally it was to be 6 one-hour shows, but it grew to 17 hours. This radio series
was transmitted by American radio network Westwood One, between March27 and September 2, 1995. As a bonus on the cd
singles from Flaming Pie, Eddy Pumer compiled a series of home demos, interviews, and unreleased songs into six long tracks,

!187
that were over six 5” cd-singles – two each for each British singles from the album. They were distributed in the UK and
continental Europe, but not in the US. The main point of attraction were the unreleased songs, taken from the mid-Eighties
sessions (see Flowers in the Dirt – UAC).

1 - Oobu Joobu - Part 1 – containing ‘I Love This House’, recorded on September 25, 1984 with producer David Foster
2 - Oobu Joobu - Part 2 – containing ‘Atlantic Ocean’, recorded in March 1987 with producer Phil Ramone
Both released on April 28, 1997 on the cd singles of ‘'The World Tonight'

3 - Oobu Joobu - Part 3 – containing ‘Squid’, recorded on November 12, 1986

4 - Oobu Joobu - Part 4 – containing ‘Don't Break the Promise’, written with Eric Stewart and recorded on June 9, 1988
Both released on July 7, 1997 on the cd-singles of ‘Young Boy'

5 - Oobu Joobu - Part 5 – containing the original version of ‘Beautiful Night’, recorded on August 21, 1986 with producer Phil
Ramone
6 - Oobu Joobu - Part 6 – containing ‘Love Come Tumbling Down’, recorded in March 1987 with producer Phil Ramone
Both released on December 15, 1997 on the cd-singles of 'Beautiful Night'.

7 - Young Boy - written on a Sunday, August 28 1995. Linda was preparing a veggy meal at the home of
chef Pierre Franey, on Long Island, with a photgrapher and the New Yorker writer Bryan Miller watching. Paul was waiting in
another room and had his guitar brought with him. The version released on the Capitol 3 track album sampler has the final
chord intact.

8 – Somedays – written on Friday March 18, 1994 , while Paul accompanied Linda to a photo session for her vegetarian
cooking book. To pass the time he wrote ‘Somedays’. This is the early mix, released on January 30, 1997 on the Capitol 3 track
album sampler. The differences become most apparent in the second verse with alternate orchestration, variations in the
Mellotron (some answering flute “laughs” on the first line where Paul sings “laugh”) and the line “Somedays, I look, I look at
you with eyes that shine” is repeated at the end.

9 - The Light Comes From Within – ‘censored version’, released in January 1999 on a UK 1-track promo-only CD-R acetate.
10 - Ballad of the Skeletons - edit
11 - Ballad of the Skeletons - clean version

Ballad of the Skeletons – in their own words

Allen Ginsberg: “I had a gig at Albert Hall in London [on Monday October 16, 1995]. A reading. I had been talking quite a bit
to (Paul) McCartney, visiting him and bringing him poetry and haiku, and looking at Linda McCartney's photographs and
giving him some photos I'd taken of them. So, McCartney liked it and filmed me doing "(The Ballad of The) Skeletons" in a
little 8 millimeter home thing. And then I had this reading at (the) Albert Hall, and I asked (him) if he could recommend a
young guitarist who was a quick study. So he gave me a few names but (then) he said, "If you're not fixed up with a guitarist,
why don't you try me? I love the poem". So I said, "It's a date".
Paul McCartney: "[Allen Ginsberg] came over to the house in Sussex to ask me if I knew anybody who would accompany him
on guitar at a gig he was doing at the Albert Hall. So I suggested Dave Gilmour and Dave Stewart and a few others. Then when

!188
he'd gone it dawned on me that he wanted me to do it, so I rang him and said OK.”
Allen Ginsberg: “He showed up at 5 p.m. for the sound check. It was a benefit for literary things. There were 15 other poets (on
the bill). We didn't tell anybody that McCartney was going to play.”
Paul McCartney: "So we met up and I stuck a little Bo Diddley jinkity-jink behind his 'Ballad of the Skeletons', a really cool
poem.”
Allen Ginsberg: “And we (had) developed that riff really nicely. In fact, Linda (had) made a little tape of our rehearsal. […]
And he bought a box for his family. Got all his kids together, four of them, and his wife, and he sat through the whole evening
of poetry. We didn’t say who my accompanist was going to be. We introduced him at the end of the evening, and then the roar
went up on the floor of the Albert Hall, and we knocked out the song. There's a photo of us on the CD. It was a very lively and
he was into it"
Paul McCartney: "He introduced me to the audience as his accompanist. He loved to be the Don, did Allen, the controller, and I
loved to give him that.”
Allen Ginsberg: “He said if I ever got around to recording it, let him know.”

The studio version was recorded in April 1996.

Allen Ginsberg: “I did the poem at Carnegie Hall (in New York at a benefit) for the Tibet House, that followed the Albert Hall
show. And... Danny Goldberg, (President of Mercury Records), was in the audience at Carnegie Hall, (and he) called up my
office.. 'cause he heard it and liked it and said, "Do you want to record it?" I got together Marc Ribot, who I had played it with
first, Lenny (Kaye) and David Mansfield. And Lenny was the session-maker...
We made a basic track - and McCartney had said, "If you record it, I'd like to work on it. It would be fun". So we did a 24-hour
overnight-mail to him, and he got it, and listened to it, after a few days. He spent a day on it. He put on maracas, drums, (which
was unexpected, which we needed), and organ, Hammond organ, trying to sound like Al Kooper. And guitar, which was very
strong. Then the day it arrived, Philip Glass was in town, and he volunteered because he thought it was my hit, so he wanted to
do something with it. He added on piano, very much in his style, and fitting perfectly onto the rest of the tape.
Then Hal Willner wound up mixing it and brought out McCartney's role and the structure that McCartney had given to it,
'cause he gave it a very nice, dramatic structure. I had planned that after "Blow Nancy Blow" you would have four consecutive
choruses of instrumentals. McCartney and I had planned the breaks the first time, and varied it a little..”
Allen Ginsberg: “[Paul] reacts to the words in an intelligent way. You can hear it on the tape. Like, if I say on the recording,
"What's cooking", all of a sudden he brings in the maracas to get that really funny excitement. When I say, "Blow Nancy
Blow", he blows on the Hammond organ. He added a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of interpretation. And sometimes when I made
a flub, he covered it. He left his lead sheet in his guitar case, so we had to share my lead sheet (at the gig), which was fun.”

One more thing:

Two of the album's tracks ‘Young Boy’ and ‘The World Tonight’ were featured in the Ivan Reitman comedy Father’s Day with
Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. Apparently 5.1 mixes were especially made and ‘The World Tonight’ used over the end
credits, was severely edited by one minute.
As there’s no soundtrack album, this mix is only on the DVD.

RUSHES

!191
!192
!

In February 1998 Paul and Youth gathered again in Hog Hill Mill Studio. This time they started to work from scratch to
compose some atmospheric instrumentals. Paul played all kinds of guitars and keybords, plus drums and percussion, while
Youth added bass. Samples from two unreleased songs from Paul, recorded in December 1995 were used: ‘Hey Now (What
You Are Looking For?)’ for ‘Bison’, ‘Auraveda’ and ‘7 a.m’, and ‘Let Me Love You Always’ for ‘Palo Verde. For that last song
they also used recordings from horses and the voice of Linda McCartney. There are voices of unindentified women in ‘Fluid’.
It was suggested that recordings from a phone-sex hotline were used, but the record company denied this.

NOTES:
Rushes was released on September 21, 1998 in the UK and on October 20, 1998 in the USA.

There were two 12”singles: a UK promo in September 1998: ‘Fluid’/’Appletree Cinnabar Amber’/’Bison (Long One)’.

Followed in January 1999 by three remixes of ‘Fluid’ by Nitin Sawhney: Out of Body and Mind Mix, Out of Body Mix and
Out of Body with Sitar Mix. The vinyl edition was a Limited machine-numbered edition (3 000 copies), with a six-panel cover
cardboard held together by a rubber band.

!193
This time some promotion was made: on October 2, 1998, a heavy disguised Paul played live in Abbey Road Studios to a
backing of prerecorded tapes. This was transmitted live via the homepage of The Fireman.

Tracks 1-8: Rushes, except for track 6, ‘Bison’: the complete mix from the promo is used instead of the (much) shorter album
edit.

Tracks 9-11: the Nitin Sawhney remixes of ‘Fluid’, as released on the 12” and cd singles.

Two more tracks ‘Plum Jam’ and ‘Through The Marshes’ were mentioned in a Club Sandwich issue from 1998, but remain
unreleased.

!

Some people like to rock.. Some people like to roll... Some people like to check out the latest release in the fabled Paul
McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection. Well, that wait is now over x 2! First up, is the classic (mostly) covers album from
1999, Run Devil Run. This was one of those records that I really liked upon release and find every time I go back to it that I
like it a little more. Paul really sang his ass off on this record, and thank God he did because that voice sadly doesn't exist
anymore. Actually, I remember being extremely grateful that the album even existed in the first place, seeing how he had
virtually disappeared the year-plus following Linda's death. I thought he might hang up his rock and roll shoes for good.
Thankfully, he didn't, and has had about as strong a run these past sixteen or so years imaginable for a man his age. Incredible
stuff, for sure... So to the main album, I've added whatever cover versions from the time frame that could be found to bolster an
already great LP. This includes both versions of That's All Right (recorded for the Sun Records tribute album) - the standard
and the ultra-rare "unmastered" version. Just so you know, the part on the unmastered version where the fade repeats itself for a
few seconds after it had already faded out is there on actual CD, so I've included it here. They don't call it "unmastered" for
nothing! There's also the rare acoustic version of "Kansas City" that was recorded for an unreleased Leiver-Stoller tribute
album. I've also added the Cavern + PETA concerts (both audio rips from the official DVD), along with the Montserrat tribute
concert from '97, again taken from the official DVD, along with the version of Hey Jude from that show that was included on
the UK promo CD-5 in a different mix. Finally, there's the three songs that were included in mono on the CD-5. Not a bad way

!198
to wrap up the two-disc set!

Anyhoo, here are UAC titles #21 + 22. Incidentally, we are now past the half-way point for this series! Pretty cool, indeed.
Thanks to everyone for helping out, both with audio (and video), along with kind words of encouragement. You guys have
helped make this a real fun project to participate in, and I can't thank y'all enough! I hope you guys like these two and I'll see
ya on the next go-round. As for me right now, it's time to watch W/Bob & David to see if it lives up to the Mr. Show legacy..

NOTES:

documentary of the Sun Studios.
Producer Ahmet Ertegun: "I must tell you although I've known Paul for years, prior to going into the studio, I was somewhat
daunted. He's a historical rock'n'roll figure and one of the greatest ones. But I must say it was one of the most pleasant and
wonderful sessions I've ever had. And he must have liked it, because he told me, 'We must do this again.'"
The cover is released on October 16, 2001, on Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records.
18 - Kansas City – recorded in November 1995, for an Leiber and Stoller tribute album. Still officially unreleased.

LIVERPOOL SOUND
COLLAGE
!201
!202
!203
!

Next up is the Liverpool Sound Collage, a true oddity in Macca's solo released canon. Definitely not a Paul McCartney album,
and not really even close to the Fireman stuff, this one pretty much stands alone as an interesting experiment in sound. The
main CD was almost an hour, so I was trying to come up with appropriate material to use as bonuses. Right away I felt the two
versions of Clean Machine needed to be here as they were from the same era (late '99), and were also rather experimental in
nature. I was going to put the disc out like that, till I was poring through my collection, looking for ANYTHING else to include
to fill those last ten-plus minutes. Then I thought of the track he'd done with Yoko and their families a few years previous,
Hiroshima Sky Is Always Blue, and realized that was perfect to round out the disc, despite being recorded in 1995. That song
really wouldn't fit anywhere else, so here it goes! I've found two versions of the song in my collection, which I've presented
here. I understand there's also a 7:47 completed version of the track that was included on a Japanese only Yoko CD that came
with a book. I do not have this track. If there's some kind, brave soul who has this track and would like to help me out (it would
definitely have a place on Rarities), please reach out to me!!

Anyhoo, here are UAC titles #21 + 22. Incidentally, we are now past the half-way point for this series! Pretty cool, indeed.
Thanks to everyone for helping out, both with audio (and video), along with kind words of encouragement. You guys have
helped make this a real fun project to participate in, and I can't thank y'all enough! I hope you guys like these two and I'll see

NOTES:
1-5 - Liverpool Sound Collage
From April 7, 2000 to March 4, 200, the Tate Gallery Liverpool showed an exhibition: About Collage. The show was curated
by Peter Blake – the artist who made the collage for the sleeve of Sgt. Pepper’s. Blake asked Paul McCartney to create a sound
collage about Liverpool, to be played in an endless loop. With the help of Cian Ciaran of The Super Furry Animals, Paul
compiled sounds and made a basic collage, using fragments of street interviews, his Cavern concert and Oratorio, plus some
Beatles rehearsals. This 17 minute collage is called ‘Peter Blake 2000’.
When it was suggested to make an album of the material, Paul made to more mixes (‘Plastic Beetle’ and ‘Made Up’) while
‘Real Gone Dub’ is made by Youth (Martin Glover).
The album was released on August 21, 2000 in the UK and September 26 in the USA.

6-7 - Clean Machine

Using samples of ‘Penny Lane’, Paul made his first full-on electronic dance track, on May 28, 1999 in Abbey Road Studio
Two. The track is made especially to promote ‘the only vegetarian cycling team on the planet’, sponsored by Linda
McCartney’s Foods company. Every rider has the words "Clean machine" painted on the front forks of his bike – hence the
name. From June 7, 1999 on, both mixes could be downloaded from the website of the team.

8-9 - Hiroshima Sky is Always Blue

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the atomic bomb dropping on Hiroshima, Yoko Ono was asked to contribute a song.
She delivered ’Hiroshima Sky is Always Blue’, a piece recorded on March 11, 1995 in Paul’s Hog Hill Mill Studio. All
instruments and vocals are by Yoko, Sean and Paul, Linda and their children.
On August 6, 1995, NHK (public TV/radio station in Japan) played the short radio-edit during the morning news programme,
Ohayou Nippon (Good Morning Japan).
The complete 7:47 version is only available from the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Arts gift shop. Since 2011 it is
included on a cd with the book The Road of Hope.

DRIVING RAIN

!206
!207
!208
!

"It's the season of the cultured bat." That can only mean that it's time for yet another installment (or, in this case, another TWO
installments) of the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection! Originally, I was just going to do Driving Rain, but as the
previous "release" was Broad Street, an album which is near the bottom in terms of fan's appreciation, it made little sense to
follow it up with another record that has its fair share of detractors. In the case of 'Driving Rain' however, the bashers have it
wrong, as this happens to be a pretty terrific album and one that is in dire need of some serious re-evaluation. There are folks
who have suggested that the cause for the album's unpopularity had little do with the quality of the music itself, but instead was
the result of Paul's then-girlfriend, Mr. Heather Mills, who provided inspiration for the much of the tracks included on the
record. As someone who cares not very much about who Paul is dating/marrying, it bothered me not in the slightest the source
of inspiration. I just like the songs on this record. Some I really like! And there are a few that I flat-out love. BTW, to make this
a complete snapshot of who Paul was dating at the time, the rare VO!CE cd-single (featuring Heather + Macca) has been
included as bonuses. So if you have been avoiding this album due to its rep, perhaps this is the time you might want to give it a
chance. For bonus tracks, I have used all the various single mixes/edits that were floating around out there (including the
download-only Driving Rain remix), along with a few tracks from Various Artists albums that were from this era. All in all, a
pretty solid set!

!209
As with all of these, there's full artwork / disc labels included for those who appreciate those sort of things!

These two bring the total "released" up to nineteen titles (!!!!) Thanks as always to you guys for helping to keep this a fun
project for me. I had a lot of fun putting these together. I hope you like them as much as I liked making them! Enjoy...

BACK IN THE WORLD

!212
!213
!214
Snail or fish...balloon or dolphin... what the heck does that line even mean?!?! Well, around these parts, it means that the next
release in the McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection is here! This time, it's a live album (my second favorite live album of
his, behind the obvious one) - Back In The World! Astute followers of Macca will note that there were two versions of the
album released - Back In The U.S. and Back In The World. Each album had their own track listing, meaning each one had
some songs the other one didn't. Sheesh! Well, I've combined both releases (including Hey Jude, which was different on both
releases) and threw in the soundcheck of "Matchbox", which was available on both the exclusive Best Buy DVD that came
with the album and, in better sonic quality on the MPL promo cd The Legendary Songs Of Carl Perkins (of course, that version
had the intro slightly clipped, so I took the intro from the DVD to present a complete version!). I also threw in Paul's set from
The Concert For George, which gives this set a more complete picture of The Paul McCartney Live Experience - Circa 2002!
This was a rather simple one to make, once I figured what it was going to include, which is why it took less time than the
others. I figure the guy has nine different live albums that will be a part of this series, so the plan is to space them out so after
every few studio albums - BAM! - another live record! BTW, I decided to keep the title as 'Back In The World' because hey, the
U.S. is part of the world too! So the title is inclusive to both albums. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one as I feel it's a great live
album (Paul was still in pretty good voice!) and it's now COMPLETE!

TWIN FREAKS

!217
!218
!219
!

Okay, so this was not supposed to be the next set. The next set I had intended to put out was something else, but I discovered
late in the game that I still needed something to complete it. So I went onto ebay and ordered the CD which contained the track
I needed. I am now awaiting its arrival. So in the meantime, I still needed something to put together to fill in the gap (so there's
not too much time between "releases"), and I figured this would fit the bill nicely. The main album is Twin Freaks, which was
released on vinyl + download in 2005. To augment this set, I've added all the Wingspan releases (that were originally compiled
on an excellent boot CD back in 2001), along with any other "remixed" Macca tracks from the era (such as the Radio Slave
versions of Temporary Secretary and the Noir & Kruse remixes of Silly Love Songs). The point here was to make this a one-
stop shopping place to obtain all the Macca remixes that were released in one way or another during this time. Keeping some
of that Wingspan spirit, I have added the spoken introductions to the various songs that were found on the Wingspan
promotional CD sampler. As they had no other "home", this seemed as good a place as any to put them. As I still had a few
minutes left over, I've added an excellent fan-remix of Let 'Em In that was floating around the web (and yes, that track is taken
from a lossless source!). Add appropriate artwork and voila! - The next release in the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive
collection! If you haven't heard this stuff, I think you might really like some of these remixes as most of them are quite good.
Enjoy!!!

"It's the season of the cultured bat." That can only mean that it's time for yet another installment (or, in this case, another TWO
installments) of the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection! Originally, I was just going to do Driving Rain, but as the
previous "release" was Broad Street, an album which is near the bottom in terms of fan's appreciation, it made little sense to
follow it up with another record that has its fair share of detractors.

Little needed to be done to Chaos And Creation to make it worthwhile. To many, this is one of Paul's best albums. It's hard to
disagree with that viewpoint as there are so many strong songs to choose from, all with extremely interesting and varied
arrangements. Paul did well to work with a producer who challenged him (Nigel Godrich). It just makes one wish that Paul did
more of this as he achieved stellar results this time around. To add to this fantastic album, I've included all the B-sides,promo
edits and even alternate mixes from the era (including the three instrumental tracks featured on the DVD that came with the
deluxe copies of the CD). There's even a bonus stripped down mix of Fine Line that was included as a) there was just enough
room to include it, and b) it's a really cool sounding mix! To top it all off, I've included the complete 'Chaos And Creation At
Abbey Road' show, which was a concert of sorts where Paul (and only Paul) went through a few of the songs from the album
acoustically, and showed off some of the techniques used to record those tracks. Paul being Paul, he slipped in a few "oldies"
here and there, but all with different arrangements than what was released on record. All in all, it's a pretty fascinating glimpse

!225
into the mind of a musical genius and as I had just enough time to include it, made perfect sense to do so!

As with all of these, there's full artwork / disc labels included for those who appreciate those sort of things!

These two bring the total "released" up to nineteen titles (!!!!) Thanks as always to you guys for helping to keep this a fun
project for me. I had a lot of fun putting these together. I hope you like them as much as I liked making them! Enjoy...

On July 25, 2005 gave a private concert in Abbey Road Studio 2, to promote the not yet released album Chaos and Creation in
the Backyard. Paul played (mostly solo) stripped down versions of some new songs and radically reworked arrangements of
some old ones. The concert was filmed and shown on December 17, 2005 on BBC Two (UK) and on February 27, 2006 on
PBS (USA).

THE SPACE WITHIN US

!228
!229
!230
!

Okay guys, here's the live album that never was... but definitely should have been! After I did Back In The World a few months
ago, some folks suggested I give the 2005 tour a try to see what I could do about it. Truth be told, that was something I had
secretly wanted to try anyway, but it seemed far too daunting a task to try. Then I re-watched The Space Within Us DVD and I
remembered how torn I was by this release because there were some truly great performances of inspired setlist choices, yet the
presentation (with the interview breaks between every song) made experiencing the concern an excruciating ordeal. We here at
Voo-Doo Records decided that the time was right to try and create a live album that would disperse with the inane interstitial
segments and just present the songs as a flowing live album, done in the traditional Macca live album style (see Wings Over
America + Back In The World) where most of the between song banter is omitted entirely. This allowed for even more music,
which is a good thing! Especially considering the fact that the decision was made to cull all the official releases from this era
(2004-2005) to try and include every song performed during these shows. The 2004 setlist was a different animal than the 2005
model, to be sure. As Paul played many songs during this time that he never played before (or again), this decision made the
most sense to encapsulate as much unique material onto one set. So for the record, there is material from the Space Within Us,
Live In Red Square (including some of the bonus St. Petersburg cuts from that DVD), and Glastonbury (from The McCartney
Years DVD), all mixed together. Even with all of those sources, there were STILL a few songs that I didn't have an official
source for, so for those I turned to the St. Petersburg video, which although is inline, is also in mono. I tried to make the

!231
transitions into/out of those songs as smooth as possible but there's only so much one could do. I considered the alternative of
leaving them out altogether, but the allure of including live versions of "You Won't See Me" + "In Spite Of All The Danger"
was too great to pass up. As far as those transitions throughout the first two discs (which make up the main concert portion), I
tried to make them all as smooth as possible, which was kinda tough considering all of the different sources. I think it came out
pretty well, despite having eight mono cuts on disc one and a further two (the first two, in fact) on the second disc. THIS is the
live album Paul should have released from this tour, IMHO...

As there was a lot of other material from the era that was released, I've included the complete sets Paul played at the Super
Bowl + Live 8, along with the Secret Website show, which was slightly earlier than the rest of the material included here. I put
it here for a few reasons - one, I had no space on Back In The World to include it. Two, I didn't have the material in such great
shape at that time (thanks recce for the DVD rip! ). Three, if I wanted this set to be the bridge between Back In The US and
Live In LA, I needed to have that material SOMEWHERE! So it's all on disc three. For disc four, I've decided to include the
radio show disc that came with the Space DVD. It's actually pretty decent and includes a bunch of live songs not available
elsewhere (albeit with a few chopped up). The problem with the disc as included in the DVD is that the show is presented as
two 30-minute tracks, which means there's no listening to a particular song. I fixed that by adding track markers at the
beginning of every musical segment. As the show included two of the AOL Sessions tracks, it made sense to include the other
four songs from that show as bonuses on the disc. So it's now all there.

One thing I have to say is that I worked like a dog to get this one together, especially in time for my trip in a few hours. As a
matter of fact, I have been working on these things pretty much non-stop since I started this series little more than three months
ago. At the time I began this, I envisioned about two or three titles a month (which is a frantic pace when you consider how
quickly Paul has been getting the official sets out to us). Well, I'm sure you've realized that in three months I have gotten
FIFTEEN titles out. That's five a month and one full third of the entire catalog. My point is that I am exhausted right now and
will be taking a few weeks break before I begin work on the next one. Don't worry - I will not quit this series. I need time to
start planning out the next several releases as I've done for most of this series. See, as far back as Back In The World, I
basically planned out what the next several would be - in the same order (more or less) as I put them out. It was all leading up
to this one, and now I have nothing planned. So I need to think this through and start planning it out so I can have each set be
the best it could be. That will take time. Not too much time - like I said, a few weeks is all. So enjoy this one - Hell, enjoy ALL
of them (if ya can! ) and I promise there will be more soon. For now, here's over five hours of classic live Macca...

NOTES:
CD 1 and CD 2
Dave has places his notes for the first two cd’s in the main article. For some tracks, he has indicated that he could choose from
2 or 3 sources. However, he hasn’t noted which was his final decision, it’s difficult to say where exactly some tracks come
from.

So, I’ll post the sources for these cd’s here and your guess is as good as mine.

!

"Don't live in the past... Don't hold onto something that's changing fast"... So said the man, but hasn't that what we've all been
doing here for the past year? Holding onto the past? Well, perhaps, but as he also said, "What went out is coming back", and so
here we are - coming back to revisit the UAC series for the next two installments - 2007's Memory Almost Full, and Live In
Los Angeles - recorded in 2007, but released in full in 2010 (actually, the deluxe edition was released in 2012, but I digress).
Thanks to overly nosy folks, the surprise of having the much sought-after "Unbricked" version of MAF on this set has been
ruined... Anyway, while it may seem strange to be able to do this sort of thing with the standard issue CD, to these ears, it
DOES sound a bit better than the standard version. I remember reading how the guy did it in the original torrent, but there was
a lot of technical jargon involved, and it's been many years since I first got this version, so I forgot. Anyway, you can listen for
yourself and let your ears decide if it's any better.

For MAF, I've added a bunch of relevant material from the era, including the full iTunes live EP (all six songs), an audio rip of
the live DVD that came with the deluxe edition (with the pink cover), all those dreaded Nod Your Head remixes (IMHO, the
worst thing Macca ever released!), a few obscure downloads (like the acoustic + instrumental versions of Dance Tonight) and
several nice tracks from the era (like Boots And Sand, Walk With You and My Soul). Plus there were a few live b-sides
included, which although the live tracks wound up being included in Live In Los Angeles, they all had different fades for the

!237
singles, which made them necessary inclusions here. All of which help make this a nice, comprehensive look at Paul during
this era.

The artwork, as usual, was sweated over - I wanted to make everything look just right, and I am rather happy with how they all
came out. Hopefully you are as well...

Anyway, with these two out of the way, that leaves just two more regular titles to go along with the two special sets that will
close out this series! Hard to believe it is all almost over.

NOTES:
In September 2003 Paul and his touring band record nine demos at his Hog Hill Mill studio.

A few weeks later, album sessions for Memory Almost Full start at Abbey Road Studios, with producer David Kahne (Sugar
Ray, Sublime, Kelly Clarkson). Kahne had produced McCartney's 2001 effort, Driving Rain, and a host of live recordings since
then.
However after only a few days, something went wrong – allegedly Paul was hitting the bottle and was very touchy. He wants
someone else to produce him. George Martin suggests Nigel Godrich (Radiohead).

The sessions are cut short and they start recording from scratch on new material, in another studio and without the band. These
recordings will be released on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.

However there are long gaps between the sessions with Goldrich, sometime even months. So, like Paul says in a short
interview, published in Q in July 2004: "In March and April I started work on a new album with David Kahne, who produced
Driving Rain, and then I was out in Los Angeles with Nigel Godrich. I'm going to make a great album. That's what I'm saying.
Not "I hope to", but "I will." That's how you have to approach it.”

Songs recorded in Spring 2004 are: ‘You Tell Me’, ‘Only Mama Knows’, ‘Vintage Clothes’, ‘That Was Me’, ‘Feet in the
Clouds’, ‘House of Wax’, ‘The End of the End’, and ‘Whole Life’. Most of the time, Paul works alone, without the band, like
he did with Goldrich. In a burst of creativity, ‘Mr Bellamy’, ‘Ever Present Past’, ‘Gratitude’, ‘Nod Your Head’ and ‘In Private’
were all recorded on the same day, in March.

Two years pass before Paul and Kahne resume to sessions, this time mostly in Paul's’ Hog Hill Mill studio (although Kahne’s
SeeSquared Studios in New York, Henson Studios in Los Angeles, RAK and AIR studios in London). The band is asked to help
polish the songs. They work until July 2006.

In January 2007, Paul finally finishes the recordings on his own, at Hog Hill Mill. ‘Dance Tonight’, the last song written for the
album, was recorded and ‘Feet In The Clouds’ and ‘222’ were reworked, while other titles were completed.

The album was mixed by Kahne and Andy Wallace.

‘Dance Tonight’ was the first UK single. On June 18, 2007 it was first available as download, and five weeks later, on July 23
followed (only in the UK) a Picture-Shape-Disc with the same track as b-side. ‘Dance Tonight’ got nominated for a 2008

!238
Grammy as Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

The first US single, ‘Ever Present Past’, made its radio debut on 20 April 2007 and became available as a download single on
May 15, 2007. In the UK it was the second single, on November 5, 2007, with different live tracks from Amoeba’s Secret
concert on various formats. The third single, ‘Nod Your Head’, was released as a digital download single on August 28, 2007
via the iTunes Store.

In the UK, the album Memory Almost Full was also available as a free promo CD given by the Mail On Sunday on May 18,
2008.

different studios and countries during the summer of 2008 and features guest appearances by both Paul McCartney and Dolly
Parton. First released as a bonus track on Yusuf’s album Roadsinger (To Warm You Through the Night) on May 5, 2009. The
song was also released as a double-A side single together with ‘Roadsinger’, on July 20, 2009.

18 - Walk With You – written by Van Dyke Parks & Richard Starkey, for Ringo’s album Y Not, released on January 12, 2010.
Paul was asked only to contribute bass to another song ‘Peace Dream’, but used the occasion to duet with Ringo on this song
too.

19 - My Soul – written by Nitin Sawhney and released on his album London Undersound, released on October 13, 2008.
Sawhney first collaborated with Paul in 1999 when he remixed ‘Fluid’, one of The Fireman tracks.

LIVE IN LOS ANGELES

!241
!242
!243
!

For Live In Los Angeles, in addition to the album, I also included the two bonus cuts found on the download "exclusive"
version. But although I had the download version, I didn't like how the transitions were made into those bonus cuts. They were
abrupt hard-edits on the version I had, so I faded the bonus tracks in to make the transitions more smooth. Plus, as I used the
Live In Los Angeles CD for the non-bonus tracks, this means that all tracks are still lossless wherever possible (the download
was mp3 lossy files). Even for House Of Wax, I used a fresh vinyl rip of the 45 that I declicked just to ensure that THAT is
lossless as well!

A nice bonus to LILA was the Electric Proms show that Paul performed at the end of his Secret Mini-Tour in October 2007.
Thanks to the fine folks who pointed out this release to me as well as providing a good quality source for the show. While the
sound was very clean and excellent, it slightly lacked in dynamic range as compared to the official live tracks, so I gave it a
slight eq tweak to get the sound quality more in line with the rest of the material. I think you'll enjoy it! :)

One other bonus I've included is the original Amoeba's Secret EP, for the same reason that I included the live B-sides on MAF -
the fades are different here, so now you can listen to either just the EP or the full LP!

!244
NOTES:
Starting on June 7, 2007 Paul played some intimate concerts with his band to promote Memory Almost Full. These show were
only announced on the afternoon of the concert and tickets were free. Two of these show ere recorded and (part of) the
recordings were released in different forms and on separate markets.

Hollywood: Amoeba Music store

On June 27, 2007 Paul gave an in-store performance at the famed Los Angeles record shop, Amoeba Music. Apparently Ringo
Starr and Jeff Lynne were in the audience.
Paul was supported by his touring band, but as Wix was busy organizing a tribute concert for the tenth anniversary of the death
of Princess Diana back in London, he was replaced by David Arch.

From the set list secured by a fan after the concert, it is known that 21 songs were played.

On September 5th, ten songs were transmitted by the Santa Monica public radio station KCRW on their show Morning
Becomes Eclectic. Two months later, the NRK radio station P1 in Norway had all these plus four more songs.

On November 5, four songs of the Amoeba gig appeared officially in the United Kingdom, spread over three formats of the
‘Ever Present Past’ single: ‘Only Mama Knows’ and ‘Dance Tonight’ on the CD single, ‘House of Wax’ on the vinyl single and
‘That Was Me’ (plus ‘Only Mama Knows’ once more) as a Digital Bundle (ie iTunes download package).

A week later, on November 13, a 4-track EP, called Amoeba’s Secret was released in America. The limited vinyl edition was
only sold in Amoeba record store's, for $6:98. The four songs are: ‘Only Mama Knows’, ‘C Moon’, ‘That Was Me’ and ‘I Saw
Her Standing There’

On January 27, 2009 however Amoeba's Secret became available again, on CD and download formats.
After two of the songs from Amoeba's Secret became nominated for 2008 Grammy Awards (‘I Saw Her Standing There’ for
Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and ‘That Was Me’ for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance) the Amoebe’s Secret songs
became available again in January 2009 in the USA and Japan, as a CD-EP and as digital downloads.
Neither song won.

Almost exactly a year later, on January 17, 2010, a dozen songs from the concert were collected on a cd, called
Live in Los Angeles. This was given as a free cd by The Mail on Sunday in the U.K. and the Irish Sunday Mail in Ireland.

On November 16, 2012, finally the Paul McCartney website released an extended version of the Amoeba show titled Live in
Los Angeles – The Extended Set free to "premium" members of the website. This was augmented with two songs previouslty
available: ‘Nod Your Head’ and ‘House of Wax’.

London: iTunes Festival

Two weeks after the show in Amoebe Music, Paul and his band played for 350 fans in the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA)
on The Mall in London, just off Trafalgar Square. Over 31 consecutive nights in July 2007, the first ever iTunes Festival took
place there, with more than 60 acts performing. Paul played on the fifth night.
This became an annual music festival, but is now called the Apple Music Festival and is relocated to The Roundhouse arts

!245
centre in Camden Town. Since 2014, there’s also an American counterpart, at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas.

Every show was professionally recorded, and several of these exclusive recordings were made available to preview and buy on
iTunes. So, on August 21, 2007, a 6-track digital EP iTunes Festival: London by Paul McCartney became available. Produced
by David Kahne.

London: BBC Electric Proms 2007

There’s one more concert Paul played in that same period, but that one’s a bit different. On October 25, 2007 he and his band
played in the Roundhouse in London as part of the BBC Electric Proms 2007. For three songs, the band was augmented with a
string section: ‘Only Mama Knows’, ‘Calico Skies’ and 'Eleanor Rigby’.

More than 7 years later, on December 3, 2014, 17 of the 24 songs of the concert became available as download by iTunes, but
only until February 2015.

CD 1
1-14 - Live in Los Angeles – The Extended Set, as released as free download on November 16, 2012

15-23 and CD 2 - 1-15 download version of the BBC Electric Proms 2007 concert: iTunes: Live at the Electric Proms 2007

16-19 - 4-track EP version Amoeba’s Secret.

20-21- on June 8, 2007 – the day after his first secret show, in the Electric Ballroom in Camden, Paul was a guest in Later with
Jools Holland on BBC TV. He performed two songs with his band: ‘Dance Tonight’ and ‘Only Mama Knows’.

ELECTRIC ARGUMENTS

!248
!249
!

"Winter's coming..." ELECTRIC ARGUMENTS is now available... This was a fun one to do, and very satisfying. To augment
the album, I've included the seven remixes found on the bonus disc that came with the deluxe edition along with all ten (!!!)
remixes of "Out Of Sight" as credited to The Bloody Beetroots (a side project of a side project??? I dunno!), all taken from the
best sources available. I've thrown in the promo edit of "Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight" (the Fireman version, that is -
oh this is so confusing!) along with the remix of "Highway" and stereo mixes I had made of the "stems" (aka multi-tracks) that
were on the data DVD that came with the deluxe set. I've included them because they are all different in some way to their LP
counterparts. As I still had over twenty minutes left over to fill the discs, I used the stems to make extended mixes of "Light
From Your Lighthouse", "Sing The Changes" and "Dance 'Til We're High", and an instrumental mix of "Sun Is Shining". I think
they came out pretty good and for those out there who crave remixes, you might enjoy these as well. Anyway, here's the next
installment in the Ultimate Archive series... Enjoy!

GOOD EVENING
NEW YORK CITY
!252
!253
!254
!

I've got a feeling... A feeling that it's time for another entry in the ongoing (and going, and going) Paul McCartney Ultimate
Archive Collection series! This time up, it's 2010's 'Good Evening New York City'. Not one of his more memorable live
albums, but it sounds pretty good and the DVD that came with the CD was actually pretty good. Too bad he didn't get the idea
of just putting an uninterrupted concert on a DVD for 'The Space Within Us' - am I right, fellas??!! Anyway, the bonus for this
set seemed pretty obvious to me - just include all the audio from the bonus DVD that came with Best Buy copies of the set. It
was of a mini-concert Paul had played on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater on July 15, 2009. A little side note - I was
working as a messenger in NYC that day, and I didn't find out about the concert until after it was over. To say I was extremely
pissed off about missing the impromptu show would be a huge understatement! I also missed when he played a few songs
unannounced in Times Square to promote 'New' in 2013 - and he played two damn blocks from my office! I guess I wasn't
meant to run into Paul in this fashion. But I digress... So, once the mini-show is added, I had just a few minutes left, which was
just enough to squeeze on 'Helter Skelter' from the Sandy Relief concert in 2012. Not the most imaginative bonuses, but they
certainly get the job done. Anyway, this title now makes 33 down and just 12 to go. There are a few live albums to get through
among those twelve. At least now, there's one fewer. Have fun with this one for now, and we'll see what I come up with next.

The US opening show of the Summer Live ’09 tour, recorded on July 17, 2009 at the inaugural concert at the Mets’ brand new
Citi Field ballpark. The sold-out crowd of some 45,000 endured rain showers from start to finish.

A year earlier, on July 19, 2008, Billy Joel had played at the same spot: the last ever concert in the SHEA Stadium, before it
was dismantled . For the occasions Paul had appeared unannounced, to play two songs with Joel. (see Out There - Live in
Japan - Ultimate Archive Collection - cd2, tracks 11 and 12)
So, this time the piano man returned the favor and came to duet with Paul on ‘I Saw Her Standing there’ (cd 9, track 9).

For this live performance of ‘Helter Skelter’, Paul won his first ever solo Grammy, in the category ‘solo rock vocal’.

The three consecutive concerts in Citi Field were filmed and recorded for a dvd, that appeared on November 14, 2009 as Good
Evening New York City.

CD 2, tracks 12-18
A few days earlier, on Wednesday July 15, 2009, Paul returned to the Ed Sullivan theater, site of the Beatles' U.S. television
debut in 1964, to be a guest on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and perform for the crowd outside atop the theatre’s
marque.
The show was included as a bonus DVD with the Deluxe Edition of Good Evening New York City.

CD 2, track 19
Another version of ‘Helter Skelter’, recorded on December 12, 2012, during the The Concert for Sandy Relief in Madison
Square Garden. Released as an iTunes download, on January 6, 2013.

"We're here tonight.. and that's enough.." I never quite understood what Paul meant by that line - did he mean like it's enough to
get the party started, or did he mean enough's enough? Knowing Paul's penchant for nonsense, it probable means nothing! But
what's definitely something is the next installment of the Ultimate Archive Collection! Going 180 degrees from last week's
Fireman releases, this time around it's Paul's version of a "standards" album - 2012's delightful Kisses On The Bottom. There's
already been a confusing number of releases surrounding this album. I've tried to make sense of it all and include the most
complete versions of everything. First up is the album proper, which includes the two bonus tracks that were issued on the CD
when purchased at Target. The Live At Capitol Studios concert is included as well. Again, there were a few slightly different
versions of this released. The main different ones were the live download (as included as the Complete Kisses download) and
the Live Kisses DVD. For the download, the concert is pretty much presented as it happened with a few notable exceptions.
The DVD was chopped up (typical for Paul), but it had a few important bits on it that made it useful. First is the false starts to
My Very Good Friend The Milkman, which were omitted from the live download. These have been reinstated to the concert.
However, as it appears on the DVD, there is a line of dialogue from Paul that actually hails from later in the show. This
becomes evident when one listens to the live download and hears the line (regarding how Paul had been whistling fine all week
leading up to the concert) in its actual location later in the show. So for this new version, all the dialogue (and whistling) have
been restored to their original locations. Another issue with the DVD is that for many songs, there were occasional punched-in

!260
vocals which cropped up here and there. This became apparent to me when I was comparing the live download to the DVD by
playing them both at the same time. Every so often there would be a "double-tracked" effect where the punched-in part would
reveal itself. The songs affected by this are Home, My Valentine, My Very Good Friend The Milkman, Get Yourself Another
Fool and My One And Only Love. For My Valentine, the guitar solo was punched in as well as some vocals, so as I had just
enough space to include it as a bonus, I opted to put it on here!

To round out the set, I've included several choice bonus cuts, including a few TV appearances, some Various Artists album
appearances, the (I Want To) Come Home single, some remixes, along with the video + edit versions of My Valentine. All in
all, a rather solid collection. For those who don't like this side of Paul, you need not download this one. I personally find this
album to be very enjoyable and extremely interesting. Paul surrounded himself with what has got to be the finest group of
musicians he has ever performed with, and obviously had a lot of fun in the proceedings.

As always, great care was taken towards the packaging. The first disc has the standard LP art For the second disc, I had a little
fun. Yes, I do realize that Paul was no longer on Capitol by the time this album was released. However, he DID record this at
the Capitol Recording Studio and did a lot of older standards (that appeared on 78s), so it made great sense to use the Capitol
78 label for this set!

As for the future, we're getting closer and closer to the next break, but keep watching this space as there may be even MORE to
come in the near future... Till then, I hope you guys all enjoy this one and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

NOTES:
In 2010 Paul decided that he wanted to record an album with songs that were popular when his parents were young: the
Twenties and Thirties. He contacted producer Tommy LiPuma, who in March of that year, came over to his house to speak
about the project and discuss some songs.
The first recordings happened in April 2011, in the Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where Frank Sinatra recorded. LiPuma wrote
the arrangements and contacted the A-class jazz musicians, like Diana Krall. Of the nine songs recorded there was a new song
written by Paul: ‘Only Our Hearts’, while another was a remake of ‘Baby’s Request” from Back to the Egg.
Then, in May more songs were recorded in the Avatar Studios in New York City. Again Paul added one newly written song:
‘My Valentine’.
In October, orchestrations were added by the London Symphony Orchestra, in the Abbey Road Studios and finally mixing
happened in Paul’s studio in Sussex.

"Who knew Ivan was a Czar???" I love that line even though Paul didn't write it. Well, that song is here along with 43 other
golden greats as it is now time to present the most recent McCartney album (2013's New) as the latest edition in the Ultimate
Archive series. As with most of these, this was a fun one to work on, though it was a bit frustrating as well in that no one out
there seems to have lossless versions of Only One (vocal + instrumental) or All Day (clean + explicit). So there's room for
some upgrades if anyone wants to contribute to the cause.

This set had gone through a few different track listings before I settled on what is presented here. I wasn't aware of the Queenie
Eye spoken intros until about a week ago (thanks, as always, goes to Charlie for all his help in obtaining these goodies). Then I
had to shoehorn them in somehow. So at one point this was going to have the 2013 version of Wonderful Christmastime instead
of I'm In Love Again (which was going to be on Kisses On The Bottom). Adding the two spoken tracks forced me to shift
things a bit due to space considerations, so don't worry - you'll be getting Wonderful Christmastime on Kisses (which will go
nicely with the other Christmas song that will be there!)

Some other things, I've obtained lossless sources for ALL the mixes of Hope For The Future, including nice vinyl rips of the
incredibly rare "Sweet Thrash" mixes from Record Store Day, so this is one convenient place to have them all. Meat Free

!266
Monday is only available as an mp3, which is what is presented here (albeit upsampled to FLAC). I've included all the audio
from the various releases of the New album, so coupled with all the bonus tracks, this set gives you the most bang for the buck
by far (especially considering the fact that it's free! )

One other thing about the packaging - I've discovered that as with many other McCartney albums, there's a slight difference on
the cover art depending on which version you're looking at. As I always try to use the LP art, the artwork here is what is used
on the New LP. The CD issue swaps the red + blue fluorescent lights for reasons known only to Paul. Also, the disc labels copy
the style of the LP labels. If it seems a bit drab, that's why.

Anyhoo, I hope y'all dig this one for now.... Time to get cracking on the NEXT one!

Couldn't let the year go by without sneaking one more in there. And what better way to close out 2015 than with a show from
that very year! It's been a busy year, Beatle Peedles, one way or another... But it's been a great year.. too! The show in question
is from April 28th at Budokan. It's a significant show for many reasons - not the least of which is that it was the first time Paul
played "Another Girl" in concert! So it was most fortunate that an absolutely perfect quality version of the show has been made
available. And that's what you're getting here. The full show, in perfect sound quality. But wait! There's more!!

For extras, I wanted to keep the sound quality consistent, so I chose to include various TV appearances Paul made over the past
few years. Between Kisses On The Bottom and this set, you get quite a number of Paul's TV appearances! In this case, it's a
good thing as the TV appearances add several different live songs to this set that weren't played at the Budokan show, including
Eight Days A Week, and the newer, more faithful to the record arrangement of Band On The Run (just listen to Paul's bass
during the opening - it sends shivers down the spine, it does!)

As this is a newly created release, I had fun with the artwork, utilizing the 'Out There' Tour Infographic that Paul put up on his
site a few days ago. And call me crazy, but I believe you cannot have a Japanese-themed McCartney release without having an
OBI and some Odeon labels. If only I could find a way to do red vinyl...

!272
So this set brings the total to an even THIRTY titles that I've done since this project began back in May. Fifteen in the first
wave, and another fifteen in this one. By my count, there should be another fifteen in the final wave to wrap it all up (including
Rarities). But that's a whole year away, right? Actually, this is my chance to take a brief break like I did after the first wave to
recharge the batteries and work on some other things. I've been going at this series pretty hard and heavy of late and I could use
a breather. But fear not, there's more great stuff to come in the near future!! Till then, enjoy this set (heck, try to enjoy ALL of
them!), and have a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2016!!

NOTES:
CD 1 + CD 2, tracks 1-10
On April 28, 2015 Paul and his band played the Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo. The same place as where The Beatles played
Japan in 1966. The concert was filmed and professionally recorded for Japanese television. To that end the show was
abbreviated to two hours. So, only 30 songs were played, and not as usual, around 40. While a number of regular songs were
dropped from the set, it was the debut performance of the Beatles song ‘Another Girl’.
The full concert was televised on July 11, 2015. And naturally, soon appeared on bootleg: Complete Live at the Budokan 2015.

CD 2
11-12 – On July 18, 2008, Billy Joel performed the last concert in the legendary William A. Shea Municipal Stadium in New
York, before it would be dismantled. At the end of the show, Paul McCartney suddenly appeared to play two songs with Billy:
‘I Saw Her Standing There’ and ‘Let It Be’.

13-16 – "This won't be topped," said Paul Rudd at the conclusion of Saturday Night Live, after Paul McCatney’s performance
on December 11, 2010 in the NBC Studio, New York City.

17-20 – On October 7, 2013, three days before the release of his New album, Paul played a ten song set for Late Night with
Jimmy Fallon,at the Rockefeller Center, New York City. The final three songs of the show are represented here.

21 – Paul returned to the NBC Studio, on February 15, 2015, for the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. ‘Maybe I'm
Amazed’ was introduced by Keith Richards.

By request. And hey, it's the release date anyway, right? :) The audio has been updated so it now contains all the new re-
masters with one exception - With A Little Luck, as I used the full-length for that one. As I didn't know what the booklet would
look like, I've included different artwork for the inserts. Why couldn't Paul put THIS set out instead of the half-assed official
set, I'll never know.. Anyway, that's what I'm here for, I suppose... :wink: Enjoy!

CD 1
01 - Maybe I'm Amazed
A love song for Linda, recorded completely solo by Paul, on February 22, 1970 in Abbey Road Studios, London. It was
released on his solo debut “McCartney”, on April 17, 1970. Although it received a great deal of radio airplay worldwide, Paul
declined to release the song as a single. Seven years later, in February 1977, a live version from the “Wings Over America”
album, recorded on May 29, 1976 in Kemper Arena, Kansas City, MO, was released as a single. This version became a top-ten
hit in the United States and reached number 28 in the United Kingdom.

!277
02 - Heart Of The Country
The basic track was recorded on November 16, 1970 in Columbia Studios, New York, with overdubs added in the first months
of 1971. It was released on the Paul and Linda McCartney album “Ram” and in the UK it was also the B-side of the single ‘The
Back Seat of My Car’ which was released on May 21, 1971. In 2013 it was regarded by Rolling Stone magazine as one of
"Paul's 40 Greatest Solo Songs".

03 - Jet
Recorded by Wings in October 1973 at London’s AIR Studios and released on January 28, 1974 in the US and two weeks later
in the UK, as the first single from “Band On The Run”. The song peaked at number 7 in both the British and American charts.

04 - Warm and Beautiful

This is "one of the most beautiful songs that Paul ever wrote for Linda," according to Elvis Costello. Recording started on
February 2, 1976 in Abbey Road Studios. It was considered as the debut single from “Wings At The Speed Of Sound”, but
passed up in favour of "Let 'Em In" and "Silly Love Songs."

05 - Stranglehold
This song was co-written with Eric Stewart. Recording started in April 1985 at Hog Hill Mill Studio, Icklesham, with producer
Hugh Padgham. Overdubs were added in Autumn 1985. It was released in August 1986 on “Press To Play” and issued as single
exclusively in the US on October 29, 1986, where it reached number 81.

06 - Listen to What the Man Said

Recorded on January 31, 1975 at the Sea Saint Studios in New Orleans, with guitar overdubs by Dave Mason and soprano
saxophone by Tom Scott added on February 20. It was released on May 16, 1975 as the first single from the Wings album
“Venus and Mars”. It reached the top spot in the US and Canada, and top ten in many European countries (6 in the UK).

07 - Dear Boy
Another ode to the lovely Linda. Recording started on March 1, 1971 in the Sound Recording Studios, Los Angeles, with
overdubs added in the following weeks. It was released on May 17, 1971 on “Ram”.

08 - Tomorrow
Recorded at the end of July 1971 at Abbey Road Studios and released on December 1971 on Wings debut album “Wild Life”.
Paul re-recorded the song twice. First, in October 1974, as an instrumental reggae and in September 2012, in a jazzy
arrangement with Diana Krall, during the “Kisses On The Bottom” sessions. Neither re-make was released, although the first
was considered for the first version of the Cold Cuts compilation.

09 - Silly Love Songs

Recorded on January 16, 1976 in Abbey Road Studios and released in April of that year as the first single from “Wings At The
Speed Of Sound”. Great melody, superb bass line, catchy instrumentation and a triple chorus made it the soundtrack for the
Summer of ’76, when it spent five non-consecutive weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK it was kept off the
top spot by The Wurzels with “Combine Harvester”.

!278
10 - The Song We Were Singing
This song was recorded in a one-day session on November 6, 1995 with producer Jeff Lynne, at Hog Hill Mill Studios.
Released as the opening track of “Flaming Pie”, on May 5, 1997.

11 - Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey

Recording started on November 6, 1970 in New York’s Columbia Studios, with overdubs added during the following months. It
was released in May 1971 on Paul and Linda McCartney’s “Ram” and three months later, on August 2, 1971 as the only US
single from the album. This gave Paul his first number 1 single since leaving The Beatles and he also won the Grammy Award
for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists in 1971 for the song.

12 - Light From Your Lighthouse

This song was based around the chorus of the 1929 Blind Willie Johnson song ‘Let Your Light Shine On Me’. It was recorded
by Paul and Martin Glover (Youth) in October 2007 at Hog Hill Mill studio. It was released on November 24, 2008 on
“Electric Arguments” which was the third album by The Fireman.

13 - Early Days
Recorded in March 2012, with producer Ethan Johns in the Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles and released on “NEW”
in October 2013, and as the fifth and last (download) single of that album, on July 7, 2014.

14 - Big Barn Bed

Recorded in 1972 during the “Red Rose Speedway” sessions at the Olympic Studios in Barnes and released on that album by
Paul McCartney and Wings on May 4, 1973.

15 - Another Day
The first single of McCartney's solo career, recorded on October 12, 1970 at the Columbia Studios in New York at the start of
the “Ram” sessions. Although written by ‘Paul and Linda McCartney’ it was released in February 1971 as a solo single by Paul.
It reached the top of the charts in France and Australia, peaked at number two in the UK (behind Mungo Jerry’s ‘Baby Jump’)
and number five in the US.

16 - Flaming Pie
The title song of Paul McCartney’s tenth solo album.
Recording started on February 26, 1996 at Hog Hill Mill Studios.

17 - Jenny Wren
Recorded in October 2004 with producer Nigel Goldrich at Ocean Way Recording Studios in Los Angeles. Pedro Eustache
added the woodwind overdub in a separate session on the 25th of the same month. The solo is played on an Armenian
instrument, called duduk. The song was released in September 2005 on “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard” and as a digital
single on October 31, 2005. It reached 22 on the UK Singles Chart and earned a nomination for the 2007 Grammy Award for
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category.

!279
18 - Too Many People
This was a message to an estranged friend. It was recorded on November 10, 1970 at the Columbia Studios in New York and
was released as the opening track of “Ram”. It was also released as the flipside of the US single “Uncle Albert / Admiral
Halsey”.

19 - Let Me Roll It
This was the second song from “Band On The Run”, and like “Jet” (of which it was the B-side), it was not recorded in Nigeria,
but in London in October 1973 at Air Studios.
Some critics saw the song as a pastiche of John Lennon's sound, particularly the riff and the use of tape echo on the vocals.
McCartney denied that this was deliberate.

20 - New
Recorded in February 2012 with producer Mark Ronson. It was released in August 2013 as the title song of the album “NEW”
and as the first single. It gained heavy airplay on Japanese radio stations, where it became a number 4 hit on the Japan Hot 100.

21 - C'mon People
Recorded in the first months of 1992, with producer Julian Mendelsohn at Hog Hill Mill.
A 43-piece orchestral arrangement written and conducted by George Martin was added in June 1992 at Abbey Road. The song
appeared in February 1993 on “Off The Ground” and was released later that same month as the second single from that album.
It reached number 41 on the UK charts.

CD 2
01 - My Brave Face
Written with Elvis Costello, but recorded without him in September 1988 at Hog Hill Mill, Icklesham, with producers Mitchell
Froom & Neil Dorfsman. Released in May 89 ahead of Flowers in the Dirt. It wasn’t the success McCartney had hoped for.
Although it went to number 3 in Italy and #4 in Norway, it peaked at #18 in the United Kingdom, and #25 in the United States,
where it was McCartney's last top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 until his 2014 collaboration with Kanye West, ‘Only One’.

02 - Tug of War
Recording started on December 16, 1980 at AIR Studios, London with producer George Martin. Released on September 9,
1982, the single landed just outside the Top 50 in both the UK and US.

03 - Cafe On The Left Bank

Recording started on May 2, 1977 on Mobile Studio Fair Carol, Virgin Islands, with overdubs added in November 1977. It was
released on the Wings album London Town, on March 31, 1978.

02 - Off The Ground
Recorded in July 1992 at Hog Hill Mill with producer Julian Mendelsohn.
Listen to what the man said: “One of the songs that had been on my list but hadn't got onto the album was 'Off The Ground',
which at that time was a little folk song. I liked it but it didn't really fit onto the album so I thought that if we were just going to
play around and experiment, maybe even waste a song, we might as well do it with that one. So I brought it in and we started to
kick it around. We soon started to get a rhythm track in the computer that changed the song's direction a bit and made it more
exciting. Then I said "OK, let me go in and put a little heavy guitar on it". So we really started enjoying it: we put a bit of
machine bass on, which started to make it more funky, then percussion, then I sang on it and it really started to come together
as a track. By the end of the day we'd pretty much finished it, with just a few little harmonies and a solo from Robbie
[McIntosh] still to come.” A remix by Keith Cohen was released as a single, in the US in April 1993 and in continental Europe
in September.

03 - London Town

05 - Love Is Strange
Recorded with Wings, in July 1971 at Abbey Road Studios, London, ‘Love Is Strange’ is allegedly the first reggae song

Recorded in March 1972 with Wings during the sessions for “Red Rose Speedway”. As it was intended to be included on “Cold
Cuts”, it received overdubs of percussion and a clarinet. The final mix was made in 1987 at Air Studios in London by
McCartney, co-producer Chris Thomas and engineer Bill Price. This was released in 1990 as the B-side of the ‘Put It There’
single & on the 2 CD Japanese version of the “Flowers In The Dirt” album.

19 - Only Our Hearts

A romantic number and one of two original tracks from “Kisses on the Bottom”.
Recorded in October 2011 at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and arranged by veteran American composer Johnny Mandel, with
a harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder. It was released in February 2012 as the second single from the album, but was only noted
in Japan, where it reached number 84.

20 - Little Lamb Dragonfly

Recorded on November 1, 1970 at Columbia Studios, New York, with overdubs added in January and March. It wasn’t
included on Paul and Linda’s “Ram”, but found a place on the Wings album “Red Rose Speedway”, in May 1973.

CD 6
01 - Coming Up
In the Summer of 1979, McCartney enjoyed himself with his new toys: a bunch of synthesizers. Just for fun he recorded some
ideas, mostly made up on the spot, even toying with his vocals by using a vari-speed tape machine. The results were presented
in April 1980 as “McCartney II”. It’s opening track was also released as a single… which immediately became a major hit in
Britain, peaking at number 2 with its third week on the charts (Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ ‘Geno’ proved to be unsurpassable).
Helped by a funny video clip with Paul and Linda playing multiple roles, it did even better in the US and Canada, where it was
number 1 for three weeks. Columbia Records however preferred the more conventional sounding live version, performed by
Wings during their tour of the UK. So, after 12 weeks on the charts, Billboard listed the more popular live version for the
remaining nine weeks on the chart.

02 - Ever Present Past

This started out as ‘Perfect Lover’, a more folk-like song recorded in Autumn 2003.

!291
A remake, recorded in March 2006 and produced by David Kahne kept the lyrics almost unchanged but the musical
arrangement was completely altered. It was released on May 15, 2007 in the US as the first single of “Memory Almost Full”,
where it peaked at number 93. The UK (where it was the second single) had to wait until November 5.It did slightly better in
the charts, reaching number 85.

03 - Too Much Rain

Inspired by Paul’s then-wife, Heather Mills and the theme to the 1936 film “Modern Times”, written by Charlie Chaplin and
commonly known as ‘Smile’. This song was recorded in April 2005 at Air Studios in London with producer Nigel Godrich and
released in September 2005 on “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard”.

04 - Good Times Coming / Feel the Sun

Never one to throw a half-finished song away, McCartney often fuses two seemingly different tunes together. ‘Good Times
Coming’ is a reggae-tinged song that rings of nostalgia, while ‘Feel the Sun’ uses the sun to symbolize optimism and the
healing power of love. Both fragments were recorded in 1985, during the sessions with Hugh Padgham and the combination is
released in August 1986 on “Press To Play”.

05 - Goodnight Tonight
This was originally an instrumental backing track recorded by Paul on his own in January 1978. Needing a single for Wings to
accompany the “Back to the Egg” album, it was completed with electric guitar and percussion by Denny Laine, a spirited
Flamenco lead acoustic solo by Laurence Juber and the whole band on backing vocals. Since the track was over seven minutes
long, an edited version was used as the single, with the full version available as a 12-inch single. Released on March 23, 1979,
as the first release for Wings Mark Seven, ‘Goodnight Tonight’ was an international hit, reaching number 1 in Sweden, 2 in
Norway and 4 in Flanders. It was number 5 both on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the UK Singles Chart.

06 - Baby's Request
This is a jazz-inflected ballad, recorded by Wings on October 10, 1978 at Abbey Road, as a demo for The Mills Brothers. When
they declined to use it, it was decided to add overdubs and put it on “Back To the Egg”. In August 1979 it was also released as
a double A-side with ‘Getting Closer’. While the single reached the top 20 in the US, in the UK it was a relative flop, only
peaking at number 60.

07 - With a Little Luck

Recorded with Wings, in May 1977 in a 24-track studio installed by the Record Plant on board the Fair Carol, a yacht anchored
in the Virgin Islands. It was released in March 1978 on “London Town” and as the first single from the album. The soft rock
song hit number 1 in the US for two weeks. It also hit the top spot in Canada and Ireland, and further reached number 3 in
Norway, 5 in the UK and 6 in Norway and The Netherlands and 9 in Flanders.

08 - Little Willow
McCartney wrote this about Ringo's first wife, Maureen, who died of cancer, to comfort her kids. It was recorded on November
21, 1995 at Hog Hill Mill, with producer Jeff Lynne. It was released on “Flaming Pie” in May 1997, and in December on
“Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute”, a benefit album to the memory of Lady Di who had died just on August 31, 1997.

!292
09 - Alligator
Mark Ronson, who had DJ'd McCartney's October 2011 wedding to Nancy Shevell, produced the recording of 4 tracks in
February 2012. Three of them, including ‘Alligator’, were released in October 2013 on the album “New”.

10 - Only Mama Knows

“I [do not] know anyone stranded in the transit lounge of an airport, as in 'Only Mama Knows’,” McCartney told the Mail On
Sunday on May 12, 2008 about this song. “But I like to get into those imaginary stories, then follow them through and become
that character. The lead character in this song is someone who was left by his mother, doesn't know why she left him and
doesn't know if he'll ever see his father's face. It's interesting because it takes you out of yourself. You can become an alter ego.
It doesn't have to be Paul McCartney singing it - it can be this other guy singing. It's good to do; it lets you have another vocal
approach, another emotional approach."
Recorded in February 2007, with his touring band and produced by David Kahne, it was released in June on “Memory Almost
Full”.

11 - Don't Let It Bring You Down

Donald A. Guarisco calls it on Allmusic “a highlight of London Town and yet another solid example of a McCartney ballad”
and "an elegant tune that married a message of hope to a hypnotic folk-styled melody.” Recording started with Wings on May
25, 1977 in the Virgin Islands with overdubs added in November 1977 at Abbey Road Studios.

12 - The Back Seat of My Car

"We believe that we can't be wrong" repeat Paul and Linda over and over during the raucous finale of the song and the album
Ram. And right they are. ‘The Back Seat of My Car’ is a true highlight and typical example of McCartney’s qualities as a
composer: there’s more hooks and tempo changes in this song than on some other people’s albums. Recording started on
October 22, 1970 at Columbia Studios, New York. Curiously it was only released in the UK as a single (in August 1971),
where it peaked at number 39.

13 - No More Lonely Nights

Recorded as “the last thing McCartney recorded for the film” according to guitarist David Gilmour. That film being “Give My
Regards to Broad Street”. Apart from the soundtrack – of which it was the best thing by far - it was also released as a single in
September 1984 (in multiple formats, each with different edits). The single reached number 6 in the US and number 2 in the
UK, behind Wham’s ‘Freedom’. It was a top 10 hit in most European countries and was produced by George Martin.

14 - Singing the Blues

Written by Melvin Endsley and first recorded and released by Marty Robbins in 1956. It was covered by Paul on the MTV
show Unplugged in 1991 and included on the subsequent soundtrack “Unplugged (The Official Bootleg)”.

15 - Great Day
Recorded on September 3, 1992 at Abbey Road, with producer George Martin and released on “Flaming Pie” in May 1997.

16 - Venus and Mars / Rock Show (Edit)

A medley of an acoustic, folk-like song, followed by an arena rock song, recorded by the classic Wings line up: Paul and Linda,
Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English, augmented with Tony Dorsey on clarinet on the first part and Allen Toussaint

!293
on piano for the second part. Recording took place in Sea Saint Studios, New Orleans on January 29, 1975. Both songs were
released on the Wings album “Venus and Mars” and in a considerably shorter version as a single. The single was released in the
US on October 27, 1975, where it peaked at number 12 and a month later in the UK, but it failed to chart there.

17 - Temporary Secretary
You either love it or hate it!
Recorded in June 1979 at Lower Gate Farm, Peasmarsh.
It was released in May 1980 on “McCartney II” and on September 15 as the third single from the album. As this was limited to
25000 copies it failed to chart.

18 - Call Me Back Again

A soul ballad recorded by Wings in New Orleans, on February 3, 1975 with a prominent horn part arranged by Tony Dorsey.
Released in May 1975 on “Venus and Mars”.

19 - Hope For The Future

Recorded in September 2012 at Hog Hill Mill, for the soundtrack of the video game Destiny. Released with a variety of
different mixes on December 8, 2014.

20 - Always
This was written by Irving Berlin in 1925 as a wedding gift for his wife Ellin McKay.
Paul recorded his cover version in September 2011 at the Avatar Studios, New York, with producer Tommy LiPuma. It was
released on “Kisses on the Bottom”, in February 2012.

21 - Junk
Written in 1968 in Rishikesh, India as ‘Jubilee’ and originally under consideration for the White Album. Eventually Paul
recorded the basic track at home in December 1969, with overdubs added in February at the Morgan Studios, London. It was
released on April 17, 1970 on his solo debut “McCartney”.

And then there was one... This was a title that I didn't even think of as a possibility until late in the game. Truth is, this wouldn't
have happened at all if one person out there (hi, Charlie ) wasn't so dang generous with all of his spoken-word rarities. This
gentleman kept sending me lossless rips of all these amazingly rare promotional interview/soundbite discs. After a while, I
realized that it would be a great idea to somehow combine all of these promo interviews together in one convenient package.
And thus, the idea for this title was born. Obviously, I realized that The McCartney Interview (the only self-contained interview
record that Paul ever released) was going to be a part of this, both in its commercially issued full version, as well as the promo
banded excerpts. The goal was to try and gather up as many of these interviews/soundbites that have been officially released
and present them as close to chronological order as disc space would allow, and see how it all stacks up. The surprising answer
was rather well, indeed! By listening to this set, one can hear Paul mature and be much more comfortable with his past than
when he first went solo and felt a strong need to show that he could make it on his own. Anyway, as it's been my goal to have
every shred of music that Paul has released be gathered together, it is fantastic to be able to do the same with his spoken word
releases as well. And that's the simple goal of this set. So with that said, here's what this set is not: a repository for all the press
conferences that Paul has given whenever he went on tour. Many of these interviews have been put out on releases of
questionable legality, and thus really fall outside the scope of what this set is about. I set a boundary of six discs for this set
(just like the upcoming Rarities collection, BTW). I figured that in this case, eight (hours) really WAS enough time to tell the
story. As luck would have it, that space was just enough to include pretty much everything that I could get my hands on, from

!298
common stuff like the interview included with the deluxe edition of Memory Almost Full, to the so-rare-it's-practically-
unheard-of promo LP Paul had recorded talking about Buddy Holly in 1979. Everything has been included here in top quality,
with one exception - the Band On The Run promotional interview LP. A legit copy of the record could not be located, so I went
with a clean pressing of the boot of it. I took that pressing and did what I could to clean it up, include correct the woefully off
speed (it was slow by close to 10%!!) As for the rest of the material, all vinyl has been sourced from NM copies, and all cd
sources are lossless, ripped from the original discs. While this may not seem like a conventional title by any stretch, it is
certainly one worth having as the tale it unfolds over eight hours is a captivating one. Oh, and YES, I managed to squeeze on
the Oobu Joobu Ecology CD. Yippee!!

And then there was one. Just one title left, folks, and other than a few upgrades, this will all be over. It's been a fun ride, I must
say, and I only hope it's been one for you as well. The final title will take some time to put together, but I will be giving you
regular progress updates as well as solicit opinions here and there. Till then, have a go at this one and listen to what the man
said.

2. Band On The Run – Radio interview special with Paul & Linda McCartney (PRO 2955) –
A 12" interview disc to promote the album was distributed to radio stations in America in 1973. It was an open-end interview,
in which local disc jockeys could ask the questions themselves and play Paul's answers on the disc. The record was sent with a
script enclosed.
Fred Robbins conducted the interview in Leicester on Monday July 9, 1973, during Wings' British tour.

16. Paul McCartney on Rodrigo – BBC presenter Brian Kay was the original bass in the King's Singers, and as such is to be
heard as the lowest frog in the ‘We All Stand Together’. To return the favor, Paul appeared on the 1996 BBC Proms album
Musique de la Renaissance française, narrated by Brain Kay, on which famous people talk about composers. Paul’s comments
are about Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre, 1st Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez, better known as the composer of Concierto de
Aranjuez (1939).

Here we sit, two lonely old people eaking our lives away. Bit by bit, two lonely old people keeping the time of day. Here we sit,
out of breath and nobody asked us to play. Old people's home for the day... (yeah yeah yeah) Nobody asked us to play. Well,
here's something that people have asked to play... Yes, right here and right now... FINALLY, here are the final installments of
the Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection. I know you guys have been waiting patiently for these for what seems like
forever, but it really hasn't been. Of course we're STILL waiting for any type of word about the official Archive release of
Flowers In The Dirt, but I've never operated on Paul's timetable, have I? So these two collections were quite a project to put
together, but I hope that the results are worth it. Of course, I have already shared with you the audio for Give Us That Knowing
Wink. To be honest, I do find that one to be the weaker of the two sets by far! Why do I say this? Because of the nature of that
set, it included a lot of tracks with limited Paul involvement. Don't get me wrong - I'm extremely glad to have all those tracks
in one location, and some of them I do enjoy tremendously, but I've been spinning Where Footprints Never Go regularly for the
past several weeks as I've been compiling one disc after another, and I am really pleased with how well it all hangs together.
Granted, this was a sort of "bonus" release in that 'Wink' basically completed the goal of this series, which was to have all the
RELEASED tracks in one spot (of course the release of additional mixes of '1985' make these sets immediately outdated, but I
do plan on addressing that in due time). However, I realized that there were a number of worthy outtakes that I was unable to fit

!309
onto the regular UAC titles, and so I kept an ever-growing list of sorts of what to include when the time came around. Of
course when that time DID come, I realized just how lengthy the list had become! What I had originally envisioned as perhaps
a 4-CD set grew into two six disc sets!! Anyway, once I made the decision to break it up into two sets, I thought it'd be fun to
have one focus on more or less "released" tracks and have the other set be exclusively "unreleased" tracks. Suggestions were
constantly being made throughout the life of this project and I'm extremely grateful for the kind souls out there who helpfully
compiled lists of all the tracks that were mentioned along the way so that I didn't forget any. The fun thing about this project for
me is that along the way I had discovered several outtakes that I had no idea existed, such as the "rough mixes" of Goodnight
Tonight and "C Moon", or the short but beautiful "Hello Piccadilly" jingle. Even better is that a few other outtakes / upgrades
have appeared out of the blue during the course of this project, adding more songs to the list. I feel that I've done the best I
could taking those lists and turning them into extremely listenable CDs. Especially when one considers that they were made up
of tracks that were left off the regular UAC discs! Not too shabby.

There's far too many tracks to really get into specific details, but suffice it to say that the unreleased set was far and away the
most difficult title to put together due to the amount of work each track required. I never wanted to just compile these things
from previous boots. What I'd hoped for was to have each track sound as good as possible. So, I listened to them, I corrected
the speed, I listened again, tried to work on using some helpful eq, listened again and judiciously worked on the noise levels of
each track. And then I listened some more. What took this thing so long?? All of that, and none of that as well, because there
were times when I had to get away from it all to clear my head as it was just too much to do at one go. And I must thank all of
you for your patience and encouragement while I worked it all out. So here it is, then. I hope you find that it was worth the
wait. Thanks for a fun ride.

record in his F.P.S.H.O.T. studio, and a few days later, on February 4, recorded a cover of Paul’s ‘Rockestra Theme’ in the ex-
Beatle’s studio Hog Hill Mill. "It was a wonderful session’, remembers Eddy Pumer. “Paul wrote a new middle-eight for the
track, in order that Duane could pluck on that famous E string. We all had a lot of fun, and then went back again the next day to
see Paul mix it. It was quite a thrill." The band is formed by Duane Eddy (guitar), Paul McCartney (bass and vocals), Jim Horn
(sax), Charlie Morgan (drums), Phil Pickett (piano) and Nick Glennie-Smith (keyboards). Finishing touches were applied the
next day and the track was mixed on the sixth. The album “Duane Eddy” was released on June 19, 1987.
When it was decided that ‘Rockestra Theme’ would be released as a UK single, on September 7, 1987, Paul prepared (on

recorded by many artists. The guitar solo was divided with Gary Moore first, then Mark Knopfler, then back to Gary Moore.

The Hollywood Vampires was a celebrity drinking club formed by Alice Cooper in the 1970s, with as principal members: Keith
Moon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz and Harry Nilsson. "Every once in a while John Lennon would come into town or Keith
Emerson and they would be honourable members for the night."
So when Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry formed a super group in 2014 to honour the music of the rock stars who
died from excess in the 1970s, Hollywood Vampires was the name they adopted.
In July 2014, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry announced: "I did a session with Paul McCartney a month and a half ago for a private
thing. I met him once or twice [over the years] to say hello. To spend 6 or 8 hours in studio with him recording! He makes you
feel like [you're recording with just another guy]. He just happens to be a motherfucking huge talent! Everyone's in the room at
once; you play until you get a good take. It's the great ego leveller. I was in the studio with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp,
playing guitar, and the three of us are looking at each other like, hey, we're sitting here with Paul McCartney! And we're all

!319
looking at each other like open-mouthed kids. Paul was really nice. He's all about business (when he's recording). At 72 he can
still hit all those notes...
It's a project that we're keeping under wraps for now. There will be (an announcement when the time is right)."
To honour Badfinger’s Pete Ham and Tom Evans they recorded a new version of ‘Come And Get it’, with producer Bob Ezrin.
The song was released on September 11, 2015 on the only Hollywood Vampires so far.

6-14 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five [Radio Edit]

6-15 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five [Original Mix]
6-16 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five [Club Mix]
6-17 Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five [Tim Green Remix]
In March 2016 a limited 12” test pressing with a new remix of an old Wings song, sold out in hours. It went straight to number
one in the record shops stocking them and sent ebay into overdrive.
Timo Maas, a German DJ/remixer was behind the project, together with a Canadian producer James Teej. Maas prepared the
mix largely in 2009, but then got stuck.
On Record Day (Sunday April 16), another 100 copies of the two mixes were released. This time by MPL and on 7”. New is
the ‘radio edit version’. An official release followed on Virgin Records Germany on May 13, on a 12” and as a digital
download. This includes a new Tim Green Remix.

Disc 1
1-01 A Love For You [rough mix]
Basic track recorded on October 26, 1970 at Columbia Studios, New York, during the Ram sessions. At that stage it was only a
backing track (with off mike guide vocals). In March 1971 a proper vocal was recorded by Paul at the Sound Recording Studio,
Los Angeles. Some guitar was added too. More overdubs (electric guitar, backing vocals and tambourine) were added at Park
Gate Studio, Sussex in January 1981.

1-02 Seaside Woman [demo]

A piano demo with Linda, recorded in Summer 1971.

A monitor mix of the “Wild Life” song, recorded with Wings at Abbey Road Studios, in August 1971.

A cover of the Little Richard song, recorded during the very first Wings rehearsal in July 1971. Taken from the DVD “Wings
Over The World” documentary, released in May 2013.

!327
On December 14, 1971, the McCartney’s returned to New York City, after a very short holiday in Jamaica. During a telephone
interview to Radio Luxembourg, Paul and Linda gave a sneak preview of some songs Paul had written while enjoying the sun
(and a smoke).

songs for Linda’s solo album, in the EMI/Odeon studios in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, France.

1-14 Hello Piccadilly

Probably recorded at Stockport Strawberry studio during the McGear sessions. The jingle was made especially for the start of

1-15 Junior's Farm [Ernie Winfrey Mix]

1-16 Sally G [Ernie Winfrey Mix]
1-17 Send Me The Heart [Ernie Winfrey Mix]
1-18 Wide Prairie [Ernie Winfrey Mix]
During their stay in Nashville, in July 1974, Wings made some recordings in the local Soundshop Recording Studios, where
Ernie Winfrey worked as an engineer. In May 2010, Winfrey brought four 2″ 16 track reels over to Studio ‘79 in Nashville, to
transfer to digital and posted some of his mixes on YouTube.
Here is his comment: “We had a very productive two weeks and before they left town I asked Paul if it would be OK if I made
some rough mixes for myself and he said OK if I would make him a copy to take with him. This version of "Juniors Farm" is
the rough mix I made for us. Before the song starts Paul asks if I am ready...I apparently agree... and then proceeds to count it
off. He ends the song with his breath, pauses for a couple of seconds and then expresses his excitement. This is stuff that very
few people would ever hear. Hope you enjoy it folks.”

1-19 Soily [OHC alternate]

An alternate mix from the version recorded in August 1974 during the “One Hand Clapping” sessions in Abbey Road Studios,

2-08 Wino Junko [rough mix]

2-09 Time To Hide [instrumental]
2-10 Must Do Something About It [Paul version - rough mix]
2-11 Richard Cory [rehearsal]
Wings had two roadies: Ian Horn and Trevor Jones - they were brothers-in-law. When Paul quit touring in the early Eighties,
Trevor became McCartney’s assistant.
In December 1998, a few months after Trevor died, a collection of his memorabilia was auctioned by Christie's. It included
cassettes with unreleased tracks from Paul McCartney and Wings spanning 1971 through to 1987. Twelve years later, in April
2010, about four hours of music taken from these cassettes, became available on the internet.
Fast forward another six years to February 2016. A member of the Bootleg Zone community, who calls himself Nando03, had
recently acquired some cassette tapes described as part of the original Trevor Jones tapes collection. He generously offered us
direct digital transfers of these tapes, which proved to be of far better quality than the existing bootlegs.
Some of the highlights of these are presented here.

2-12 Jamaican Hilite

An rather irritating jam, recorded in Summer 1977, with overdubs added in August 1983.

Rough mix of the recording of October 3, 1978

3-10 Day After Rockestra

Recorded on October 4, 1978.

3-11 Cruisin' Ahead

An outtake from the “Back to the Egg” sessions, recorded in late May 1979 when Wings returned to Lympne Castle to
rehearse. Again the RAK Mobile Studio was hired to record some of these rehearsals. Having the facilities at hand, Paul
decided to make some proper recordings of three new songs: ‘Robber’s Ball’, ‘Cruising Ahead’ and Denny’s ‘Weep For Love’.
Overdubs were added to Linda’s 1975 song ‘New Orleans’.
Engineer, Eddie Klein has confirmed the date and that the entire performance was recorded just once, though Paul added a bass
overdub the following year. Paul plays electric rhythm and some bass riffs on his electric, Laurence Juber plays the lead guitar
fills and solo and Steve Holley plays drums. Denny and Linda do not play any instruments on this complete, but unfinished
recording.

Disc 4
4-01 The Tube 100th Anniversary Jingle
Although Paul sings “Tube 100 – 100 years old”, it’s unlikely for a TV-show to reach its 100th anniversary mark. So it’s
actually the 100th episode of The Tube that was celebrated. Paul recorded this improvised ditty on April 4, 1986 for that
evening TV-show, presented by Jools Holland and Paula Yates.

!331
4-02 Only Love Remains [live 24.11.86]
On Monday November 24, 1986 Paul was a surprise guest at the annual Royal Variety Performance at the Theatre Royal. He is
accompanied by Linda McCartney and Tessa Niles (backing vocals), Eric Stewart (acoustic guitar), Jamie Talbot (sax), Graham
Ward (drums), Preston Heymen and Nick Glennie-Smith (percussion). Together they play two songs from Paul’s new album
“Press To Play”: first ‘Talk More Talk’, that he introduces with the words: "If you don't mind, this time you could just keep the
noise of the jewellery down."
This is followed by ‘Only Love Remains’.

4-03 Daumier’s Law Act 1 - Right

4-04 Daumier’s Law Act 2 - Wrong
4-05 Daumier’s Law Act 3 - Justice
4-06 Daumier’s Law Act 4 - Punishment
4-07 Daumier’s Law Act 5 - Payment
4-08 Daumier’s Law Act 6 - Release
Six pieces of very un-McCartney like music, recorded by Paul in his own studio at The Mill, in December 1988.
“I wanted to get into some minimalist music”, Paul explained to Mark Lewisohn in Club Sandwich 62. “So I came to the studio
and started trying to think of very simple-pieces, based around the theme of injustice. I’d read an article about minimalist music
and the idea that sometimes people use too many notes. There’s that joke in Amadeus where the king is asked what he thinks of
a piece of music and he says ‘Too many notes’ - the article was saying that this is often true, so I got intrigued with the idea of
thinking ‘How few notes could I use, then?’ You start off thinking of just one note, you hit C on the piano, but one’s natural
feelings lead one to think that that’s too little, so you embellish it a bit here and a bit there, trying to keep in the back of your
mind that this is supposed to be as minimal as you can get. And in the end I think I abandoned the idea of minimalism and just
got into this slightly experimental music.”
Around this same time Linda was experiencing a re-discovery of a college interest in the works of the 19th century artist
Honoré Daumier. “As an art history major, both at Vermont College and the University of Arizona, I saw, supposedly, every
great visual,” Linda explained. “I went through all periods of different painters and along the way there were several that really
grabbed me – Daumier being one of them. He was very satirical about the different classes and fantastic at capturing people’s
characters.”
The two projects – the art and the music – suddenly came together. “I went through every drawing he ever did and really got
involved,” Linda said. “I got every book on Daumier and read all about his life and thought that it would be incredible to do a
visual thing for Paul’s music. Daumier worked for a newspaper as a satirical cartoonist, as well as being an amazing painter,
and went to prison a few times for his Art. A lot of his work was about injustice and it’s a theme that is so right for our times,
still.”
“I did about 20 minutes of music,” adds Paul, “then Linda and I were looking at some Daumier drawings and getting very into
him, so we hooked up the idea of injustice with my music pieces, came up with the basis for the film and got in touch with
Geoff.”
That’s Geoff Dunbar – the man who also made “Rupert And The Frog Song” animated movie. When it was decided to use
Paul’s experimental music as the soundtrack, McCartney held some further sessions between 18th & 24th December 1989.
“Paul did six pieces of music and they each had a title – Right, Wrong, Justice, Punishment, Payment and Release”, Dunbar
explained. “He was inspired. And then we pored through the works of the great man, got everything that was available and
structured the story from the material. And where we had to link it we invented ‘in the style of. We’ve hung the story on one
character, a man from one drawing by Daumier. It’s rather ambiguous because in the drawing you can’t see his face but the

!332
figure is there, and we made him this Average Guy, an Everyman.”
A private screening of the completed production, called “Daumier’s Law”, took place in London in April 1992, followed by an
official unveiling at the Cannes Film Festival a month later.

4-09 Motor Of Love [demo]

A studio demo for the “Flowers In The Dirt” song.
Probably recorded in Scotland in Summer 1988.

4-10 We Got Married [rough mix]

Rough mix of the original version, produced by David Foster, in September 1984.

4-11 Figure Of Eight [rough mix]

The complete, unedited album version, recorded in December 1987.
This was cut by almost one and a half minutes for “Flowers in the Dirt”.

4-12 Peacocks [later mix]

This is a remix with additional production, including more drums and more of Linda’s peacock imitations.

4-13 This One [new version]

This was recorded in late April '89 and taken straight from the 'Put It There' laserdisc. It has been labelled 'New Version' to
make it consistent with the 'New Version' of Rough Ride, which was also taken from these same sessions. A live-in-the-studio
recording.

4-14 Hope Of Deliverance [instrumental]

The backing track, recorded in December 1991, as released in September 1992 on the
In-House EPK from MPL.

4-15 Is It Raining In London [recording sequence]

Co-written by Paul and Hamish Stuart and recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
On December 15, 1992 an orchestra was added in an arrangement by Angelo Badalamenti. The song remains unissued, as “the
recording is only 80% complete, with the definitive lead vocal from Hamish Stuart still to be added”. Parts of the session were
caught on camera and can be found in the MPL documentary “Movin’ On”.

4-16 No Other Baby [soundcheck 15.11.93]

This cover version of a song written by Dick Bishop and Bob Watson in the fifties, was recorded during the soundcheck at the
Tokyo Dome, on November 15, 1993 – six years before Paul would record the song for Run Devil Run.

4-17 One After 909 [live 23.03.95]

4-18 Mistress And Maid [live 23.03.95]

4-21 Yesterday [live 23.03.95]

4-22 Lady Madonna [live 23.03.95]
An evening with Paul McCartney and Friends - a benefit for the Royal College of Music - was held at the St James’s Palace,
London on Thursday March 23, 1995.
Among the 300 invited guests was Prince Charles. First ‘A Leaf’, a piano composition by Paul, is performed by a young
Russian piano player, Anya Alexeyev. Then some classical songs are performed by the baritone Willard White, accompanied by
Michael Pollock on piano. One of those songs is from Paul’s Liverpool Oratorio. Mezzo soprano Sally Burgess also performs
two songs from that Oratorio, in addition to two other songs. Elvis Costello is accompanied by The Brodsky Quartet for two of
his own songs: ‘I Only Had a Weakness’ and ‘The Birds Will Be Singing’. Then it’s time for Paul to perform. Together with
Elvis, he sings acoustic versions of ‘The One After 909’ and ‘Mistress and Maid’. Then, with The Brodsky Quartet: ‘For No
One’, ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and ‘Yesterday’. Prince Charles presents Paul the RCM Fellowship Award, "for all that he has done for
music this century" and the evening is closed with Paul singing a final song with The Brodsky Quartet: ‘Lady Madonna’.

4-23 Stella May Day

Stella studied Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins in the early 1990s. Her graduation collection was modelled by friends
and supermodels Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Kate Moss – for free – at the graduation runway show, on May 1,
1995. The collection was shown to a song penned by her famous father, called ‘Stella May Day’.
It’s not so much a song as a compilation of a heavy metal power chord played on a fuzzy guitar. Paul would recycle the melody
later in the Oobu Joobu radio series.

4-24 The Ballad Of The Skeletons [live 16.10.95]

Allen Ginsberg, accompanied by Paul on guitar, recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on October 16, 1995.

Disc 5
5-01 Your School
In November 1990, demos were recorded for the new album “Off The Ground”.
‘Your School’ may come from these sessions. This number remains uncompleted and unreleased (although it was heard on
Oobu Joobu in 1995).

5-02 Piano And Whistling Instrumental

5-03 Flaming Pie [piano]
5-04 Calico Skies [acoustic guitar]
5-05 The World Tonight [electric guitar]
5-06 If You Wanna [electric guitar]
5-07 Young Boy [acoustic guitar]
5-08 Heaven On A Sunday [electric piano]
5-09 Beautiful Night [piano]
All come from the second EPK for “Flaming Pie”. The piano instrumental is presented as is, but with the "demo" versions of
the released tracks, most had voiceovers at one point or another during each tune. For each song, the music itself was in mono
on one channel while the voiceover was in the other channel. Whenever the voiceover would start, the music volume would
drop significantly. So for these tracks only the "music" channel has been used and the volume level has been raised whenever it
dipped due to the voiceover. All of the "crosstalk" couldn’t be completely eliminated.

!334
5-10 Bishopsgate [live 17.05.97]
On May 17 1997, Paul was in London’s Bishopsgate Memorial Hall, to answer some of the more than 2 million questions that
were proposed via the internet. A hundred guests were invited to this event, that was transmitted live by Rock Channel VH1 as
“McCartney’s Town Hall Meeting”. A nice surprise was this improvised little tune he performed on an acoustic guitar with
audience participation.

5-11 Young Boy [live 20.11.97]

5-12 Lady Madonna [live 20.11.97]
5-13 Flaming Pie [live 20.11.97]
On November 24, 1997 Paul was the central guest on the Oprah Winfrey show to promote his new album. When the show was
recorded four days earlier at the Manhattan Center, NYC he was not accompanied by a band but used pre-recorded tracks for
all backing instruments and backing vocals. This enabled him to sing and play guitar live with the backing, shown behind him
on three video screens. While both ‘Young Boy’ and ‘Flaming Pie’ are performed this way, ‘Lady Madonna’ is just a “little
something” on his “very own piano”.
Paul's vocal (and perhaps acoustic guitar on Young Boy + piano on Flaming Pie) were live and just added to the pre-recorded
backing.

5-14 When The Wind Is Blowing [rehearsal 02.12.99]

5-15 Your Loving Flame [live 02.12.99]
5-16 A Song To Us [live 02.12.99]
5-17 Suicide [live 02.12.99]
On Sunday December 5, 1999 “Parkinson” was transmitted on BBC 1 TV. The show was taped three days earlier and started
with a full band performance of ‘Honey Hush’. Paul then talked to host Michael Parkinson. While being interviewed he
illustrated some things by playing on an acoustic guitar: ‘Twenty Flight Rock’ (“a little bit, just to show you what got me in the
Beatles”), ‘When The Wind Is Blowing’ (an instrumental written at the time when daughter Mary was born) and ‘Yesterday’.
He then moved over to a piano to play solo versions of ‘The Long And Winding Road’, and two new songs written recently in
New York. David Gilmour joined him for a brief guitar solo on ‘Your Loving Flame’. The second song starts with the line
“Mist at Central park is clearing up” and remains unreleased. Paul ends with a bit of ‘Suicide’.
But the show isn’t over yet: there’s a video of the Loma Mar String Quartet bringing ‘My Love’ and after announcing the
planned Cavern concert, he joined the band to play ‘All Shook Up’.
Track 14 was from the rehearsal and not the transmitted performance.
Tracks 15-17 were from the broadcast.
5-18 The Lovely Linda [Wingspan version]
5-19 That Would Be Something [Wingspan version]
5-20 3 Legs [Wingspan version]
5-21 Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) [Wingspan Version]
5-22 Let Me Roll It [Wingspan Version]
5-23 Mrs. Vandebilt [Wingspan Version]
Tracks 18, 21, 22 & 23 were taken from the Wingspan DVD. To promote the “Wingspan” compilation MPL presented a radio
special to be transmitted over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-27, 2001). Apart from discussing subjects like “What it was
like not being a Beatle any longer” and “Wings outselling the Beatles”, Paul also recorded some new versions of favourites on

acoustic guitar, specifically for this radio show. The show was pressed on a promo CD called “Wingspan: Memorial Day
Weekend Special”.

5-24 From A Lover To A Friend [instrumental]

5-27 Her Majesty [live 03.06.02]

When Paul was invited to play at Buckingham Palace for the “Party at the Palace” on June 3, 2002, he couldn’t let the
opportunity pass to play this little tune in front of the British queen.

5-28 Waiting For Your Train [2002 soundcheck]

On November 26, 2002, Paul released a double CD and DVD set called “Back In The U.S.” that contained many highlights
from his spring 2002 Driving U.S.A. tour. As an innovative bonus for the time, the DVD contained access, via an embedded
link on the disc, to a ‘secret website’. The website is termed ‘secret’ because it was designed to only be accessible with the
DVD loaded onto your computer. The website contained plenty of rare video footage of Paul backstage with his band and stage
crew and also a good selection of performances recorded during sound checks on the tour between April and mid-May 2002.
There are even a few jingles Paul put together and performed during sound checks to use for the website. One of these is a
ballad called “Waiting For Your Train To Get In”, which has never made it on any other official release. Paul plays piano on the
track with the rest of his band.

The instrumental versions of most of the “Twin Freaks” tracks were uploaded to an online music store by mistake. They have
been credited as coming from a Mark Haefeli production acetate. Mark Haefeli directed “Red Square” and “The Space Within
Us”.
Mumbo was also included among these tracks.

6-01 Band On The Run [BBC Radio 2]
On March 7, 2003, Paul recorded a new version of the opening motif of Band On The Run’s third movement for the BBC using
wine glasses and backwards piano for some of the sounds. The piece received the subtitle ‘A Different Perspective’ and was
used for both radio and television advertisements to promote BBC Radio 2.
An edit of this version was released on the DVD that accompanied the 2010 remaster of Band On The Run as a music bed to
the “Wings In Lagos” footage.

from his new album.

6-06 Meat Free Monday [demo]

Launched by Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney in July 2009, Meat Free Monday is a not-for-profit campaign which aims to
raise awareness of the detrimental environmental impact of eating meat, and to encourage people to help slow climate change,
preserve precious natural resources and improve their health by having at least one meat free day each week.
To promote the cause, Paul wrote a song and put a video of him playing it on acoustic guitar on the website. When the website
was redesigned in December of that year, Paul made his ‘Meat Free Monday’ song available for download. He therefore
completed the whole song with additional lyrics and fleshed out the track with drum, bass, piano and electric guitar! The
complete version is on “New : Ultimate Archive Collection”, CD 2 Track 2. This is the demo version.

6-07 Heart Of The Country [basic take]

6-08 Heart Of The Country [final version]
Paul recorded a new version to accompany a TV advert for Linda's Frozen Food Campaign. The commercial, which was
screened on British television starting January 28, 2012, has come out of a collaboration between McCartney and the producer
Mark Ronson. The ad was created by a team that has worked on animated projects for The Beatles and Gorillaz and features
Linda walking her children to a woodland feast. Elvis Costello was the narrator.

collection of his favourite remixes. "I finally had some time to put together a mix for all of you who've been asking over the
years for my Beatles / McCartney stuff for tour," the DJ said in his notes for the Soundcloud mix. "I've had the best time in the
history of the world making the tracks and putting it together."

As you could hear earlier on this set (track 13), Chris Holmes used this as the final bit of his preshow tape, just before Paul hits
the stage.
Actually, this is a rare vocal moment by Booker T & The MGs. It can be found in the middle of the long Abbey Road medley
on side 1 of their April 1970 album “McLemore Avenue”.
