Junk/Singalong Junk - Paul McCartney (1970) HD FLAC
“Junk“ and “Singalong Junk“ were released on Paul McCartney’s debut solo album, titled simply McCartney, in the spring of 1970. The album featured a very loose, laid-back recording style of the nature that was always intended for The Beatles’s Let It Be album. The record is entirely plays all instruments and the only other person featured in any way was his wife Linda, who sang back up vocals.

It seems odd, to me at least, that this record doesn’t seem to fall prey to the “dated“ sound that affects some of Paul’s other guess that’s in large part due to the fact that it’s homespun, patchwork nature was so basic that it resists and remains. I love the record and give in totally to it’s charms each time I listen to it.
From Wiki:
McCartney shot to #1 in the US for three weeks, eventually going 2x platinum. This was despite the fact that it had neither an accompanying single released nor a tour to promote it, and that critical reaction was far from positive. In the UK, it was only denied the top spot by the best-selling album of 1970, Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, which stayed at #1 for 33 (non-consecutive) weeks. There, McCartney debuted straight at #2, where it remained for three weeks.
The album was widely criticised for its “homespun“ approach and “half-written“ songs, the UK’s rock bible Melody Maker declaring that “With this record, his debt to [Beatles producer] George Martin becomes increasingly clear“; the reviewer found “sheer banality“ in all the tracks save for “Maybe I’m Amazed“. Shortly after the album’s release, George Harrison described the same song and “That Would Be Something“ as “great“, but the rest, he said, “just don’t do anything for me“. Harrison added that, unlike himself, John Lennon and Starr, McCartney was probably too “isolated“ from other musicians: “The only person he’s got to tell him if the song’s good or bad is Linda.“ Lennon stated in his 1970 interview with Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner that, given McCartney’s penchant for demanding perfectionism in the studio from his fellow Beatles, he was surprised at the lack of quality in the album; Lennon also made several remarks comparing McCartney negatively to his own solo album debut, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
When the new remastered version was released in 2011 as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, the album re-entered the charts in the UK, Netherlands, France and Japan.
It is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
*Note for the video:
I’m seeing some strange artifacting on this effect around the white edges of the moving pictures and stuttering movements (my video card often causes this in certain the problem does not exist in this is worse than usual). Please let me know if you are seeing these effects as well!. I plan on using this same style for “Every Night“.....but I may edit that one differently if others are experiencing annoying issues with the effect style. THANKS!
Of course wishing a wonderful Christmas evening to all!
Thanks to the photographers whose work contributed to the video!
