McCartney & Wings (2/Cd) Unsurpassed Masters

There are no such decisive factors as factors of the dissolution of the Beatles, and there are only things that various factors have become involved and it collapsed. One of the factors is the difference in posture as a musician. For Paul who was conscious of doing as a professional in the future than before his debut, John and others have a sense of leaving themselves to the nature’s progress. Paul is still in his twenties at the dissolution of the Beatles and is too young to retire. I decide to create a new band again. There would have been no one who questioned the success of Paul McCartney’s solo career, but it was hard to say that the departure was sailing around in a somewhat full sail. Whether it was possible to form a fashionable super band at the time by recruiting famous musicians if there was a celebrity and personal connections like Paul, although they had joined Demon Rain’s keyman, others gathered almost unnamed musicians, The wife Linda who had no deaf or musical training was put on the keyboard.

Immediately after the Beatles dissolution Paul has released two solo albums. “McCartney” in the extension of the house record and “RAM” in the band format. Paul is conducting an audition of participating musicians especially when recording “RAM”. This is not just an audition, it seems that it was also a member selection for forming a new band. Denny Shiwell of the successfully passed drums “I felt Paul felt like something like some kind of” preparedness “later,” I recall later. It was Wings that was formed in such a way.

The purpose of Paul ‘s formation of wings is to create an album, go out for a tour, and have a permanent band to go on tour. That is Wings. Although I have gone on tour as soon as the first album “Wild Life” is released, I can not deny the less of the repertoire, I played the same song twice, played a cover song, and the completed stage of the later year It was in a state of fumble that was very different. But Paul’s talent can not be hidden, and the second album “Red Rose Speedway” as Wings is a very beautiful masterpiece.

Anyway, Wings of the initial movement is Paul’s enthusiasm which is similar to impatience, I feel Paul’s enthusiasm to make album production and live in parallel, bring up wings to a band comparable to the Beatles in a short time It was a hot season. The aforementioned second name album “Red Rose Speedway” spends half a year recording, there are materials for two albums, and it condensed it and it became a form which we now know. Again, this fact can also be said that the young Paul at this time is a time when it was burning with the motivation for creation as it was floated by fever. This work is a collection of studio outtakes of early wings with the period of “Red Rose Speedway” around.

【DISC 1】 This disk corresponds to Volume 1 of Answer Past Masters. The studio out take of the album “Red Rose Speedway” is the main part of the first half. “Big Barn Bed” is the opening number which marks the opening of the album. The early take is still recorded here. The skeleton of a song that spins lyrics in accordance with riff has already been completed, and it is probably the process of singing and making arrangements like this. Vocal is a single track, you can listen with very vivid vocals with no effect applied. Although the ending is complete rather than fade out, it is not about neat, and it seems that it was a feeling that because the final take is fade anyway.

“The Mess” has been released as a B version of the single “My Love” in the Hague performance in the Netherlands, but here is the unreleased studio version that is recorded. The impression has changed considerably compared with the lively live version, and it is understood that it is a song made as a hard-rock approach as the main of guitar riff. It is a bass phrase in the break part and a heavy bass piano inserted in the middle, it is a song that makes you feel the unique air around this time.

“When The Night” is a rough mix, although the take itself is the same, the ending is recorded until the end. “Single Pigeon” is a different take, there is no chase after chase after being added to the final version, it is a pole piano playing version of Paul. The vocals are very vivid, mixes that are on the front are done, and it will be unbearable to the fans. “Thank You Darling” is an unreleased song whose recording was eventually ended. Paul is in charge of vocals, and Linda is putting a cocky hand in hand, but the taste of Denny Rain is strong in music.

“Mary Had A Little Lamb” is Wings’ second single. Paul pointed out borrowing from a nursery rhyming song titled “The name of my daughter is Mary and she keeps a sheep.” It is suggested that the first single was “peace in Ireland” and the second single, followed by popular songs, was a time when the direction was not fixed. By the way, the 3rd single was “Hi Hi Hi” so the fans at that time would have been perplexed. The take recorded here is almost Linda
