Daily McCartney!

I'd like to experiment with an ongoing thread.

I just posted a couple of Paul McCartney B-sides.

Even though my avatar is an ELO icon, I am probably one of the biggest Paul McCartney fans of all time. I've only ever met one person who I can say was the bigger fan: more knowledgeable, more expert than I. I was continually stunned by her encyclopedic knowledge of the deep cuts, the secret vault recordings, and the nearly legendary biography of Macca.

I often boast that I have nearly 10 hours of Macca rarities or oddities. And I do. These are tracks you don't find on the album or the music video too often.

Paul has always had a massive backlog of recordings ready to go in case he had to fulfill contractual obligations in a pinch. And he has also said he loves leaving surprises behind for the uber fans. There is a lot of Macca music out there!

The object of this thread is to share Paul McCartney favorites, hits, B-sides, bootlegs, anything!--all for the purpose of expanding my collection, and maybe yours too!

Please feel free to post Beatles classics, outtakes, demos, Wings, Solo, Pseudonym Maccas, or really just anything he had a hand in, I'd like to hear! Oh yes, it will get weird...

I know my collection is incomplete, so let's do this!

I will start by posting a couple of B-sides from the early 90's and a Beatles demo that never came to fruition.

I'm just going to keep posting my Daily McCartney! So please join me in celebrating the legend.

Not really on topic but I think I stopped buying Maccas albums around Back To The Egg. After getting into the Beatles I purchased Ram. Then one night with the family fishing I was sitting in the car and Wings Bepop came on. I didnt know who it was but became obsessed with adding to my collection.

Maybe i outgrew Maccas style and I think not all his wowrks were good anyway....

Not off-topic at all! Totally on point and in the spirit of the thread!

Bip-Bop is one of the notoriously bad ones for its simplicity and nursery rhyme quality. I agree not all his music is good, but he made the music he wanted to--hitting every point in the spectrum from brilliant to wtf--and I can't find fault with that.

I do prefer this rendition though. Mashing up 2 or more skeletal songs was a McCartney staple.

Thanks for that video


From McCartney I - the 2nd part Glasses - very much ahead its time for "pop music"


Another of my favourites
I think the delight was some form of drug?

Totally agree
Red Rose Speedway was one of my favourites - even before I had my 1st relationship with a girl - probably too much of a romantic

Most underrated MACCA song IMO!

I fancy myself a bit of a songwriter, and every now and again, I sit down and write a Beatles-style tune. So here's some shameless self-promotion

When I Call Your Name - Chris Armes

Hope u like it, NarcoBuddha

There's quite a few tracks that ended up on feature films. These tend to fall under my radar!

Wow. Vanilla Sky was a fav film of mine and yet I didn't know the Macca song

Some gamers may recognize this one

Not a hidden tune, but one that escaped my collection for many years. I found it on 45rpm

An outtake from the collaborations with Elvis Costello.



I actually found this demo version by accident! Though, I prefer the rawness of the version posted above.

Bet ya never heard this one

Song of the day!

Home demo and live rendition of this peacefully intense dirge

Quite fond of this one. Very rare to see Macca do one of the deep cuts live!

It's been a while!

More hidden McCartney gems to follow!

Would it be the same love?
