Is this the first step towards the Beatles catalog being online or just Paul’s way of making a little extra $$ to pay off his horrid ex-wife/gold digger? Either way - I love it! Rhapsody has everything including an album entitled Paul Talks which is a series of clips from radio programs, etc. There are 25 McCartney albums plus compilations and performances on other artists albums.
Did you know that Paul released his first album two weeks before Let It Be was released? Here is the album review from Rhapsody on the first McCartney solo album. “This home-recorded charmer is the most humble No. 1 album in pop history. In 1970, Paul McCartney was ostracized from the rest of the Beatles and was holed up in a shack with his family on the Scottish coast. Filled with anger and frozen by the legacy of the Lennon/McCartney partnership, Macca decided just to record for fun, setting the stage for the rest of his solo career. Bypassed at the time, the future hit “Maybe I’m Amazed” is an autobiographical marvel (as is “Every Night”). “Junk” is a real beauty like “Teddy Boy” it was ixnayed by Lennon as a Let it Be-era Beatles song. Paul plays everything on this one.
