one disc too far,
By
This review is from: McCartney - 2CD Special Edition (Audio CD)
Sir Paul launched his solo career in the spring of 1970 just as the Beatles were announcing their split. We now know that McCartney was in poor shape and used this album almost in a theraputic way to console his damaged heart and ego in losing his beloved group and the creative love of his life, John Lennon. This album was savaged by almost everyone upon its initial release, but in the end time has indeed been very kind to it, the things most critised at the time (homemade, demo like feel) are now its strong points. This new remastered version sounds great but still falls a little short of the wonderful job done by Steve Hoffmann for the DCC release over ten years back.Paul recorded most of the album at his home, but added some polish on a few tracks in London prior to release, and these tracks ('every night' 'maybe I'm amazed' and 'Junk') really stand out. Its not a great LP but certainly a good one. The second 'extra' disc is completely supefluous - some live cuts and two demos that should have stayed in the tape machine, especially the track 'suicide' which is the extended version of a snippet heard on the original LP and believe me the snippet is far better! So its 4 stars for the McCartney album but minus 1 for the silly second disc. Lets hope they get it right when they re-release "Ram" and include b sides and the Mono mix of the record which was only sent out to US disc jockeys in 1971 but mixed by Paul himself.

McCartney Beatle is best Beatle.,
This review is from: McCartney - 2CD Special Edition (Audio CD)
I belive "McCartney" is an underrated album. There are some truley Beatles quality songs on here (Every Night, Junk, Man We Was Lonely, Maybe I'm Amazed) and a suprisingly large amout of instrumentals and unfinished/short songs. The short songs reminded me of the second half of Abbey Road with all the songs flowing into each other. Although "McCartney" doesn't have the same flow as Abbey Road.I use to think John was the genius behind The Beatles, but I'm convinced that Paul was the most talented. Paul plays all the instruments on this record; hes a one man band. This album should not be over looked by anyone who calls themself a Beatles fan. It has an interesting and unexpected bare bones sound that actually suits McCartney quite well. Though, you can tell Paul's songs and songwriting suffered a little without feedback and input from the other Beatles. As for the bonus CD...The live stuff is good fun, and I actually prefer the live verson of Every Night to the album verson. Also, Suicide is one of the most interesting songs I've ever heard, it's pure McCartney, love it.

McCartney at the start of his solo career.,
By
This review is from: McCartney - 2CD Special Edition (Audio CD)
Like the other releases in this series, the remastered album sounds very good. The problem with it is the same as with many other McCartney albums, some good tunes but not always the best lyrics. On the plus side there are songs such as "Every night" and "Maybe I'm amazed" on the minus side there are songs such as "Man we was lonely" and "Teddy boy". I actually like both versions of "Junk". The album is certainly of its' time and has to be seen in context of the Beatles' breakup. McCartney needed to make a fresh start. Is it interesting? Yes. A great album that stands the test of time? Not really.Some thoughts about the bonus disc: Suicide - the outtake/full version of the song that can be heard partially on the album. Essentially the same as on "One hand clapping". Maybe I'm amazed - from "One hand clapping" - video is included with BOTR. Nice to have but ... Every night, Hot as sun, Maybe I'm amazed - all live from Glasgow. Similar in sound to "Concert for Kampuchea". Don't cry baby - outtake - not memorable Woman kind - Is this meant to be a parody? A song best left on the cutting room floor. Some nice bits for fans but certainly not a cd that will be listened to all the way through more than a couple of times.
