*”McCartney” is the debut studio album by english musician ‘paul mccartney’*
.
(it was issued on Apple Records on 17 April 1970 (in the UK) after McCartney had resisted attempts by his fellow Beatles to have the release delayed to allow for Apple’s previously scheduled titles, notably the band’s Let It Be album)
(McCartney recorded his eponymous solo album during a period of depression and confusion, following John Lennon’s private announcement on September 20, 1969 that he was leaving the Beatles, and the conflict over its release further estranged McCartney from his bandmates)
(a press release in the form of a self-interview, supplied with UK promotional copies of McCartney, led to the announcement of the group’s break-up on 10 April 1970)
(apart from wife Linda’s vocal contributions, McCartney performed the entire album by himself, playing every instrument)
(featuring loosely arranged (and in some cases, unfinished) home recordings, McCartney explored the back-to-basics style that had been the original concept for the Let It Be (then titled Get Back) project in 1969)
(partly as a result of McCartney’s role in officially ending the Beatles’ career, the album received an unfavorable response from the majority of music critics, although the song “Maybe I’m Amazed” was consistently singled out for praise)
(commercially, McCartney benefited from the publicity surrounding the break-up; it held the number 1 position for three weeks on the US Billboard 200 chart and peaked at number 2 in Britain)
(the album was reissued in June 2011 as part of the “Paul McCartney Archive Collection”)
(macca’s first solo album after the beatles split up)
This album carried me through the sophomore year of high school. Little Eddie was familiar with many of the most obscure tracks (and I was suitably impressed).
(mainly, i bought the album to hear “Maybe I’m Amazed” and was initially let down upon first listen (the radio version I had grown accustomed to was an exuberant live rendition off ‘Wings Over America’)
(the bare-bones ‘That Would Be Something’ is vintage Macca
(a favorite of both McCartney + ‘George Harrison’)
