Finally, tomorrow (June 14) will be the day in which we will be able to get the “McCartney” and “McCartney II” remasters. “McCartney” was the first album recorded by Sir Paul after the Beatles’ breakup; it even contained a short interview in which Paul officially stated that The Beatles were no more. Some of its songs were written during The Beatles era and some of them were even rehearsed and recorded by the band. One special thing about this record is that Paul McCartney plays every instrument, so in a way, it’s Paul as one of his most intimate and natural forms. “McCartney” will always be remembered as a landmark album, for it meant the beginning of an amazing post- Beatle career. It includes songs such as “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Junk” and “Every Night.”
Similarly, “McCartney II” was recorded during the last days of Wings and resulted as Paul’s first solo album after several records with the band. The nature of this album is based on experimentation and heavy synthesizer use, and even though it’s not an album that’s heavily acclaimed, John Lennon loved one of its best known songs. John credited “Coming Up” for driving him out of retirement and resume his recording career. Other well known songs on this record are “Temporary Secretary” and “Waterfalls.”
You can get different versions of these two albums ranging from standard editions to deluxe boxsets that contain tons of bonus materials (our personal recommendation!!)
