But McCartney was itching to find a new direction.Įver the workaholic, he started recording material on a 16-track Studer tape machine he had installed in his home as soon as the Back to the Egg sessions were finished, playing all the instruments himself. Two new members were duly drafted in, and Wings set about working on what would be their last album, Back to the Egg. The band’s 1975-76 world tour made them a mega act, but that lineup fell apart during the recording of the next album, 1978’s London Town. The constantly changing lineup of his post-Beatles band, Wings, meant the group never really jelled. McCartney II opened the door to new possibilities.įor all his success in 1970s, McCartney had found the decade a bit of a rough ride as well. He’d never considered going ahead without one. But McCartney II, released a decade later, signaled a new kind of freedom.įor most of his career, McCartney had always been a member of a band. McCartney (1970) was Paul McCartney’s declaration of independence from the Beatles. With no chance to go out and enjoy ourselves with live music or even meeting friends in the pub, for many of us watching the latest content from our favourite artists on social media platforms like YouTube and others has become a real spirit lifter.Macca channels Ron Mael in the bathroom (Art: Ron Hart from a photo by Linda McCartney) ‘ Coming Up,’ is a cheery, uplifting and undeniably warm feeling song which lifts one’s spirits so effortlessly, something which is surely needed across the country right now. If fans of The Beatles are unsure about whether they might like Paul McCartney’s solo work, this is a great place to start. While live music is still a no no at this time, it will be of comfort to many to lay eyes on this video which for many of a younger generation this HD remaster may be the first version that they have ever seen. With the UK still in a strict lockdown until early December, with the hope of any easing only beginning to show a glimmer of hope, fans of McCartney will likely be finding his music a comfort during this difficult winter. Furthermore, while McCartneys solo sound may be known more for slow piano based ballads like his bond theme ‘Live and Let Die,’ or ‘Maybe I’m Amazed,’ from his debut, ‘Coming Up,’ has a funky, danceable feel which is clearly inspired by the emerging funk sound in the late 1970s which would go on to influence the 1980s sounds so heavily.

While The Beatles were firmly rooted in the 60s sound inspired by early Rock and Roll like Chuck Berry and the Rhythm and Blues records which were crossing the Atlantic and arriving in Liverpool at the time that The Fab Four were crafting their musical sound, and of course the undeniable influence of Skiffle. ‘Coming Up,’ differs quite strongly from his work with The Beatles, and even from his earlier solo work. McCartney has spoken about the making of the album during lockdown in his recent interview in Rolling Stone with American star Taylor Swift and has expressed his good fortune in living near to his own studio in Sussex where he was able to craft the new album almost entirely by himself. The release of this digitally remastered video comes just a few short weeks before the hotly anticipated ‘McCartney III,’ which is due to be released on the 11th of December this year, just in time for Christmas.
