Paul McCartney,Wings/Piano Tapes Remastered

The name “THE PIANO TAPE” was recorded in 1974 by Paul in front of the piano at home, singing new songs before release and drafts of unfinished melodies as he pleased. It seems that the sound source was circulating among traders in the mid-1980s, but it was made into a CD in 1992, which is the origin of this title. It was the first time that Paul’s home demo sound source appeared in such a unified form, and it received high praise because the content was extremely valuable. The content is surprising. Many of the songs included in the album “VENUS AND MARS” were played, and it was confirmed that they were recorded in 1974 because they were played in a highly complete form. However, the first song Paul hums is “Million Miles.” He was already singing a line from a song that would later be included in the album “BACK TO THE EGG.” Not only was the draft of “Getting Closer” (singing “coming closer” at this point) heard, but also “Rockestra Theme”, which would later be recorded with a number of notable members. The song has almost reached the stage of completion. As I mentioned earlier, all of the songs included in “VENUS AND MARS”, which is the most featured in the sound source, are of a high degree of perfection, but at the performance in Japan, the performance with the horn section made me excited every day. “Letting Go,” which is still fresh in my memory, is the only song that hasn’t been completed yet, and it’s interesting because the part that should have been sung as “feel like letting go” is instead “you know that she is mine.” What is even more masterpiece is that “Lunch Box/Odd Sox”, which was later released as an instrumental, is played here by Paul while adding lyrics, although it is appropriate. Did you originally intend to finish it as a song number? Also, in a timely matter, the bonus audio for the album “WINGS WILD LIFE” that was just released in the archive collection features the unfinished song “She Got It Good” that Paul sang with Linda on the farm with an acoustic guitar in the background. He plays the piano and sings it alone. However, the simplicity of just repeating the song title was the same as in the farm, and the idea of ​​the song did not develop from this point and was probably shelved. Speaking of another archive collection, the unreleased song “Woman Kind” was also extracted from the “McCARTNEY” bonus disc, which also proves the preciousness of the sound source. It became. This gift is an overhaul of such a masterpiece of home demos by the familiar REMASTERS WORKSHOP. It was originally recorded at home using a radio cassette player, so I added equalization to the flat, monaural sound quality, and wanted to give it some sharpness without making it sound unpleasant. If you play it at high volume, it’s as if Paul is performing a new song right in front of you. It is a sound source that can be called a classic among enthusiasts, but now 25 years have passed since its release in 1992, and there may be a surprising number of people who don’t know about it. Furthermore, now that the enthusiasm for the performance in Japan has not cooled down, mania is once again going crazy with the release of the Archive Collection Collection.
