Subject: Sir Paul McCartney on his lockdown album: 'I was just messing around'
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/22/20 at 2:43 am
Sir Paul McCartney is to release a solo album with "echoes of the pandemic" that he recorded in nine weeks during the Covid-19 lockdown. Titled McCartney III, it follows 1970's McCartney I and 1980's McCartney II, both of which were also recorded alone. The former Beatle reveals: "I was just messing around, never suspecting for one second that this was going to be an album."

I bought the original "McCartney" album on Apple Records the first week it cam out in 1970! Right around the same time I bought the "Let It Be" album and "Instant Karma" as well. All brand new at the time. A time of many beginnings and endings, but a wonderful time for music!! :) :) :)
Notice he seems to do one of these albums at the beginning of a decade:
"McCartney"-1970
"McCartney II"-1980
"McCartney III"-2020

Did your "Let It Be" have the photographs and book inside?
What happened for an album for Sir Paul McCartney in 1990?
Back when Sir Paul released the album "New" in 2013, he was in various capital cities around the world giving free concerts promoting it, I was unknowingly in Times Square 24 hours before his NYC concert on John Lennon's birthday, and for the London free concert I knew it was happening but not where and when.

No, none of them had the book here. HOWEVER, in 1972 or 1973 a record store had a whole bunch of the books out of the blue for $1.99! It's very thick, over a hundred pages. I bought one. Those are worth a fortune today, but mine fell apart almost immediately. The binding process was very bad and all the pages fell out. I still have it all though. It also had some very interesting text including dialog from the movie.

Or 2000 or 2010? The timing has to be just right for one of these "one man band" type of albums I suppose. Although if you peruse the credits of almost any of his albums there are songs scattered throughout where he plays every instrument. Drums, bass, guitar, keyboards. pennywhistle even. He's a multi-instrumentalist.
