Honestly, bro lost me after he rolled his eyes at the Beatles. Literally one of the most individually musically inclined bands in existence.😅😂😂😂

This was a huge meme within the gaming-based comedy group Mega64 on KZread. They were seemingly the only ones talking about this song anymore for years. They had videos of them putting it on the jukebox in restaurants, dancing to it on their podcasts, and so on. When Paul finally played it live in 2015 for the first time it was like they'd somehow manifested it. It's a weird one for sure.

Nah, Paul got wind that DJs in London were playing it without revealing who it was to the crowd so he added it to his set list.

Let me get this straight in my head because - I don’t know - maybe I’m nuts - but you call yourself an audio engineer but you don’t know jack about The Beatles because they made a bad stereo mix in the 1980s when a company sloppily transferred their albums to CDs (those CDs were not the vinyl stereo mixes- so you didn’t even know that - they were thrown together to get CDs out for Christmas with no input from the living Beatles). Who invented automatic vocal doubling? Who invented close up mic-ing of instruments? Who invented padding drums with blankets? Who invented putting cloth on top of a snare? Who invented flange? Who invented plugging an electric guitar directly into the console? Who first used feedback on a popular record? Who first used loops on a popular record? Who first used backwards vocals on a popular record? Google each of those and get back to us. Without The Beatles you wouldn’t have a f’ing job! 😁 sound engineer my ass. They turned the studio into an instrument and always pushed their engineers to experiment and solve problems. If you’re an audio engineer in popular music and you don’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of The Beatles, I wouldn’t trust you to engineer a dog farting on TikTok. This is not a personal attack or trolling. I’m truly in shock you don’t know The Beatles - it’s like being an oil painter who never saw the Mona Lisa - if you dig down and study The Beatles, your entire understanding of western pop music will change. You seem like a passionate guy about music. Do yourself a favour, take a year, and dig as deep and far as you can into what you should have mastered 10 years ago. I’m sorry for seeming harsh but you are honestly making a fool of yourself by dismissing The Beatles like this and almost seeming proud by your ignorance of them. Please, ask your mates - they will secretly tell you I am right. I’m gonna have to unsubscribe until you educate yourself about The Beatles - without them as your foundation, you have no right to an opinion on any modern music in my view. Good luck…. I wish you the best!

omg thank you! I get that not everybody loves or is familiar with the ins and outs of the Beatles, music has evolved a lot since then and there's SO MUCH out there. But this take was such a bizarre and factually wrong take especially from somebody supposedly working in this industry. I also do find it kind of eye roll worthy when people seem to 'brag' about not liking the Beatles or John Lennon or whatever else as if it makes them really edgy and cool. Like - it's fine if you don't like them. But it doesn't mean your tastes are elevated or that you're some stunningly brave countercultural icon. Yeah, some popular stuff really IS dreck but I feel like it's fairly well established from an objective metric (as much as you can be in music) that the Beatles were talented and influential and genuinely GOOD.

It's NOT personal and I wish him a FAST RECOVERY. That being said, I stand by my assessment. The Beatle's White Album alone was the foundation and roadmap for rock and pop for the entire 1970s! All that country and heavy metal stuff, along with orchestration and creepy minor haunting throw aways (Cry Baby Cry, Long Long Long, etc.) It would be great for him to at least do a deep dive into the newly mastered Red and Blue albums - I learned a lot about the Beatles just by going through those two albums - great collection and the sound is now up to snuff.

Context on the Stereo version of blackbird: At the time nobody had headphones, they were a studio tool or for HAM radio or army people. Stereo records were produced to be heard from 2 speakers set up in a room far from the listening position. Extreme panning in these situations feels less extreme. However, I absolutely adore listening to these albums in headphones with parts flying around left and right and feeling overpanned. I flipping love Sgt Pepper's for this, even though the stereo mix was flown off in a single day of the whole album. You can hear more like this, and every time you listen to the albums you can pick up on different elements. If you learn to embrace it for what it is, it makes listening really fun. The trend for having most instruments straight down the middle of the mix is just how we do things now, there's no right or wrong way of creating a stereo field, only fashion.

That is a great way to look at it! When we inevitably get to listening to some Beatles I'll try to be as open-minded as I can!

The song is too sophisticated and advanced for many people. Bravo Paolo!

McCartney won a Grammy with Nirvana, one of 18 he has won. He is also, including the Beatles, the biggest selling artist of all time. Soily live with Wings is a good intro to McCartney. Watching him sing live and play bass is mesmerizing.

Temporary Secretary is a BANGER!!! Love it. McCartney I and McCartney II were hugely influential specially for years to come, both albums were ahead of its time.

Wonderful Christmastime was actually recorded by McCartney during these McCartney 2 sessions and is another one-man-band effort, not Wings, even though he used Wings members to stage the well-known video in The Fountain Inn, Ashurst, Sussex.

The thing to keep in mind is that paul like the other beatles is self-taught (more so with paul who learned how to play a ton of instruments) and the synth he got didn't have a manual so he really was experimenting, and to his credit he was more successful at it than george harrison was with his own synth experiments in the 70s (I think, maybe very late-60s)

This album was panned by the press. It also motivated John to get back into the studio and record his final album. So yeah, it was influential.

I'm a Beatles and McCartney fan. I can say that this is one of my favorite McCartney albums because he wanted to leave his past behind after break with Wings. So he decided to make an album as his debut one, playing and producing all and that's one of million things for what I admire him, it's like dude, literally some bands took inspiration from that sound to make their songs

Mad Professor McCartney is my favourite McCartney

I’m resisting the urge to correct all the wrong info provided or blast the gentleman on the right for depriving himself of Beatles music lol. (His loss. Also, I didn’t know Limp Bizkit had fans 🥴) But I agree ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ is epic. ‘Temporary Secretary’ is amazing, as is the whole album. McCartney was way ahead of his time, especially evident on McCartney, RAM and McCartney II. Appreciate him while he’s here because there will never be another.

When Paul sings "Live and Let Die," he says "in this ever-changing world in which we're living," not "in this ever-changing world in which we live in." It was the Guns n' Roses cover that committed the grammatical error.

Get Back documentary is surely something what anyone who likes any music should watch... as it's not just about the Beatles, it's incredible view how any great band with 4 great musicians makes a new record, jamming, doing silly things, arguing, cooperating, dancing and mainly easily writing amazing songs in few mins... the album based on these sessions was not Abbey Road ( even many drafts of the songs are there ) but Let It Be... Abbey Road was finished later... Let It Be is not on Abbey Road :-D

Wonderful Christmastime came from the McCartney II sessions lol

I loved this album. I'm guessing Bogey Music is a bit weirder? As a kid when this came out, we just loved weirdness.

Dude, you got the Live and Let Die lyric wrong. It's actually, "And if this ever changing world in which we're living makes ..."

It's NOT "THE Wings" it's just "WINGS" with NO "THE" in front of it. McCartney II is just after Wings. Why don't you pick some songs from some of Paul's other albums too. He should listen to the entire "Band on the Run" lp, or "RAM" I also can't believe he has never listened to the entire "ABBEY ROAD" LP.

Love this song. McCartney 2 is a good album. A step up after a string of bad Wings albums.

Paul was probably heard Devo and wrote this

Yes, it IS influential...

Wonderful Christmastime was made around the same time as McCartney II. It is just Paul, but the video features Wings, so it seems like it's a Wings song...

Well you guys should cover all the Christmas 45s they put up to their fans I believe the first one was in 1964 and then in 1965 and through 1969 and 1970 you guys should cover all the Christmas albums they’re bizarre and dadaistic and surrealistic you should Cover those…..

Now HOLD ON! You do a great disservice to this man by picking, out of everything he's done, the ONE song he's deliberately NOT trying with. Further, you have no context! This entire album was done by himself, in his home, on one machine - in early 1980. Please do not deny yourself the joy of what this man has given to the world. Listen to any song off Band on the Run or RAM. You won't regret it.

Y’all gotta listen to abbey road

You both talked through the whole song you never listened to the lyrics !

My earliest memories of hearing music was the Beatles, ‘Hello, Goodbye’ and ‘Penny Lane’ I’m sure were the first that stayed in my mind. Recently I heard a McCartney song I’d never heard before…. Temporary Secretary, the tune was being reconstructed by a musician KZreadr called Alex Ball. Within a couple of seconds of hearing the opening sequence of the tune I was amazed and stopped the video to check a little tune that I had made a few months earlier on a couple of analogue synths. . . the similarities between the main sequence of both tunes is incredible. Would love to hear what McCartney fans think : ) here’s a link to mine, kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKag066TeZzMkaTN.htmlt’s called Kandinsky’s Theory (a title linked to the visuals not the music). The synth McCartney used was an Arp2600. P E A C E : )

How do you like or not like this song when you talk over the whole song? Lordy.

he did all the intruments himself ..on that album ..

Do shogun by trivium

The Beatles made only mono versions of their albums at first, I think that the last 3 or 4 are only stereo but only Abbey Road uses 8tracks. Generally the stereo versions of their songs are considered mediocre at best and that is why all of their albums are getting remixed. You should probably listen to the 2018 remix of the white album and see if they fixed that thing, it is a pity that you can't appreciate such a beautiful song because of that...
