PAUL MCCARTNEY/III 00602435321875 (-20) EU

 


 This is good. McCartney playing with himself during Corona isolation. Even if a bodily lockdown it doesn't seem to have hampered his creativity in any way.  It's all him - instruments, vocals, production and penning - with lyrics reflecting on ageing, relations and loneliness. Very personal and, as I understand, very honest. Musically partly darkish and audio quite dense, then balanced by a couple of simple see-through ballads.  Some of the songs can even be tagged as psych, or at least experimental - like the downright heavy "Slidin" and the very emotional "Deep Deep Feeling" - which also happens to be my favorites from here as I'm always up for aural adventures. His voice naturally sounds older, but  still so unmistakably him I'm home. Maybe not his best - which would be strange considering the circumstances - but one of the better and one that certainly will be excavated and enjoyed from my listening chair onwards. Spread all over the world on vinyl, CD, cassette and MP3. I'm not going in to the large number of editions existing already with differing colors, numbered or in box. Shown here is the EU plain black original. It came with label as shown here on heavy vinyl in a stickered glossy cover with lyric/credit inner.  (BÄ*)  (MÄCC*)

  1. Black vinyl eh? There have been so many different colour editions of this that the black one will probably be the rarest in years to come.

    1. He-he. Yes one can only hope. I see some of the colored now already is selling for $4-5000. Same music, just with a very expensive dye...
