Concord Music Group gets Paul McCartney Back Catalogue (Pt. 2)

Forgot it! My bad...let's re-schedule it then

 

Hey Greg...have you seen this pic before?
Paul, Jon Jacobs, Lynne, Emerick, Hammel and Eddie Klein, likely after a Flaming Pie session circa 95/96.

 

Hi,

No i haven't Claudio, nice find. By the looks of Paul's haie i'd say that's late December 96, maybe January 96.

Can i use it on my blog?

Greg.

 

Wasn't taken by me...but I think it'd be nice to see it there.

I'd say early 96, late 95 maybe...but you know...around June 96 he cut it very short and it kept short through the summer. This "era" is a tough one to identify Paul's haircuts.

 

Hey Claudio,

It was a miss type by me, i meant to say December 95, by late January at was really long, probably the longest he's ever had his hair, i guess with the shock of Linda's illness and the initial treatment and activity he probably had a lot on his mind besides hair cuts.

Greg.

 

Yes, probably. If you see him at the LIPA inauguration it's almost a shock!

it's also mistitled. It's not June 1996, but late 1995.

 

'I can't remember most of my songs', says McCartney
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10214286.stm

 

How could he? He's prolly written over 1000 at least. For myself, it is indeed weird trying to relearn songs you wrote years ago and used to know easily. It can be quite hard to remember stuff you wrote. Did Paul really write 300 songs while in The Beatles? That seems too high.

 

He can always come to this forum. Someone call him and tell him.

 

He's probably counting the infamous "100" they wrote before EMI, and/or the 20-30 they gave away in '64 and '65...

 

Right.. the Beatles only released 211 songs from 1962-1970. Not 300.

When are we gonna get some bloody "Band on the Run" reissue details?

 

Oops!

I meant to write '63 and '64.

I don't know.

But the closer we get to release date without them, the less ambitious this reissue campaign is likely to be.

An ambitious campaign would cost a lot of money on their end. To cover that cost, you need to aggressively advertise/market the product early and often...

 

He's including the 50-60 that he wrote with Bernard Purdie, but that weren't released.

 

No kidding. I'll buy them all, but I look forward to the "Band on the Run" news in hopes that more info on the reissue campaign is included.

 

Spoken like a true stoner

Greg.

 

Thing is, 95% of his songs (including, at the time, his Beatles work) was written, recorded, issued and then left behind.

I doubt he's played most of his songs more than half a dozen times over the space of a few days in the recording studio. And many of his songs were recorded truly solo and overdubbed so he won't ever have performed them properly.

 

Sir Paul, may I introduce to you; "Move Over Busker"!

 

I'm not saying he should. Just passing on a link.

 

Do we have any more news on BOTR - it's supposed to be out in August!?

 

No news yet - other than McCartney mentioning in his recent webchat there will be a DVD included with footage from Lagos.

 

And Love In Song, On The Way, Somedays, Take It Away, Helen Wheels and The Other Me...oh no... I acted like a dustbin' lid...

 

Isn't the most objectionable McCartney lyric "female animal" in "Golden Earth Girl"? It's worse than "dustbin lid".

 

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Keep him as far away from "The Other Me" as humanly POSSIBLE!!!!

 

I love "The Other Me" except for that one line, as was well documented earlier in this thread...

It just occurred to me that I should edit the song to "bleep" out the word "dustbin" -- it would sound like he's really singing some OTHER word, and then the song would seem badass!

 

I can't for the life of me, think of any dirty word that rhymes with 'did'!
