Seems like a good day to call out some of Paul McCartney& #39;s lesser-knowns for a day in the sun. Of course, I& #39;ll play "The Mess" any day, it& #39;s that good. Still learning the dance moves of the woman in the blue/gray dress for "The Mess" reenactments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om5xcVhR1c8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
A lovely little doodle, "Summer of & #39;59" was the b-side to "Jenny Wren" in 2005. Concise with almost no frills. Just before the summer of & #39;59 Paul turned 17, you know what I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlJaHpT3c4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(Picking up this thread ...)
The McCartney-McManus partnership was so good, and for both of them. "Twenty Fine Fingers" didn& #39;t make any of their albums, but this demo may be my favorite recording from those joint sessions. What fervor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOCQIxv-Rqg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Sticking w/McCartney-Costello, enjoy the original take of "Lovers That Never Were," gutsy & superior to the Off The Ground version. Elvis called it one of the great vocal performances of Paul& #39;s solo career. "He’s singing a ballad in the voice of I’m Down" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT4uio4c7rE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
"Take It Away" was sort of a hit single (10 in US, 15 in UK) in 1982, but I feel like it& #39;s faded into obscurity. I was 8 then, and it was my first favorite Paul song. Great video w/Ringo & George Martin & the Hofner. A toe-tapper you can sing along to! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z-iApVMr2Y">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Along with "Oh Woman, Oh Why," as mentioned just a tweet ago, I truly love the fellow RAM outtake (and Cold Cut outtake) "A Love For You". A banger! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1rKhWH5xJ4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Meanwhile, I& #39;m at the "have a few beers and listen to the original double album version of Red Rose Speedway" part of the night. And I want to add "Get On The Right Thing" to this discussion. Is this Linda& #39;s greatest backup vocal performance? I think so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrBMBRsbhqQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
