A weird and wonderful collection of eccentric electronic gems and unreleased rarities from Macca in celebration of his recent engagement announcement.
Created in the late 70s while McCartney was messing about with his new electronic instruments, these early experiments have more than stood the test of time and despite being little known amongst McCartney’s mainstream fans, many have gained a cult following on the cosmic and Balearic scenes.
This recent (presumably unofficial) 12" includes the quirky and totally brilliant "Check My Machine", a superbly repetitive electronic ditty which legend has it is literally just that - McCartney switching on his machine for the first time and checking it by making this track!
Another big track is the crazy frantic proto-techno of "Temporary Secretary", Paul’s only single release never to chart when released. Also included is the fantastic cosmic roller "Blue Sway" plus great unreleased extended versions of amazing tracks such as the sparse and evocative oriental soundscape of "Frozen Jap", "Front Parlour" with its raw tech-pop, and the beautifully delicate and melancholic Balearic gem "Sunshine Sometime".
