The song ‘In Liverpool’ was part of the documentary “Echoes” which was on the second DVD along with another documentary titled “Ghosts Of The Past”. The ‘Liverpool Oratorio’ was largely based on the former Beatles’ childhood in Liverpool and was written in conjunction with conductor Carl Davis. Paul also played this song at The Liverpool Sound concert held at Anfield stadium in Liverpool on June 1, 2008 to celebrate the city’s year as the European Capital of Culture. The concert was headlined by Paul McCartney who was playing in his home city for the first time in five years. Paul played ‘In Liverpool’ – a song he had never played before and hasn’t played since.

Taken from the multi tracks when this song featured in the video game Rock Band (or Guitar Hero…) and
thus the individual tracks were available.
1-03 Live And Let Die [DTS downmix]
The Bond movie ‘Live and Let Die’ has been released three times on DVD, including as a Special Edition,
and as an Ultimate Edition. On November 11, 2008 a Blu-Ray disc was released, using the same source
as the Ultimate Edition DVD.
The English audio option on the Blu-Ray is DTS HD Master Audio 5.1 surround.
1-04 Helen Wheels [extended version]
A fan constructed mix using the MOGGs.

with Paul producing. Released as a single by Suzy and the Red Stripes on May 31,1977 in the US and

1-07 B-Side To Seaside [45 mix]
The B-Side of the 7” single ‘Seaside Woman’.
1-08 Mull Of Kintyre
To promote the ‘Mull Of Kintyre’ single, two different videos were shot. The first was in Scotland, on
October 13, 1977 with Michael Lindsay-Hogg directing. The second was on a film set in Elstree Studios
in London, on December 9 with director Nicholas Ferguson.
A third version circulates, but is taken from the TV show “The Mike Yarwood Christmas Show” and is not
a video clip.
This newly-remixed soundtrack for the first version of the video was released in July 2016 to promote
Pure McCartney as part of a 360VR video available on YouTube. It adds Foley (the reproduction of
everyday sound effects) and for the first time, a cold ending to the track. The original video’s release
featured the record as the soundtrack.
1-09 Coming Up [Wingspan edit]
Wingspan, released on May 7, 2001 has this unique edit of the studio version.
1-10 Get It [45 version]
In September 1982, the song was released as the B-Side of ‘Tug of War’.
The same mix as on the album was used, but with a fade out.

One of the few surprises on the ‘Archive Collection’ of Paul’s album was the so called demo of an

Recorded on March 11, 1983, with Paul on bass, Dave Edmunds and Chris Spedding both on guitars and

For the B-Side of the 12” single from Band Aid, Trevor Horn produced a track in his own studio using the
same instrumental track and featuring messages from artists who had been at the recording. It also

the members of Big Country and Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes to Hollywood. This was released in

A-Side was a cover of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
The record reached Number 1 in the UK, on June 1, 1985.
1-21 All The Best [TV ad]
Another TV ad, this one for Paul’s new compilation album ‘All The Best’ from November 1987.

on June 20, 1986. A variety of rock stars performed and the Prince and Princess of Wales attended.A live
album of the concert, called “Recorded Highlights Of The Prince’s Trust 10th Anniversary Birthday Party”
was released on May 4, 1987. It included the live version of ‘Get Back’ by Paul McCartney with Tina
Turner and Paul Young.
British copies of the album also contained a bonus single with two more contributions by Macca: ‘Long
Tall Sally’ on one side and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ on the other. These tracks can be found on the
Ultimate Archive Collection of Tripping The Live Fantastic.

2-05 Rockestra Theme
2-06 Rockestra Theme [extended version]
In 1987 guitarist Duane Eddy recorded an album with producer Eddy Pumer. They visited George
Harrison on January 30 to record in his F.P.S.H.O.T. studio, and a few days later, on February 4, recorded
a cover of Paul’s ‘Rockestra Theme’ in the ex-Beatle’s studio Hog Hill Mill. “It was a wonderful session’,
remembers Eddy Pumer. “Paul wrote a new middle-eight for the track, in order that Duane could pluck
on that famous E string. We all had a lot of fun, and then went back again the next day to see Paul mix
it. It was quite a thrill.” The band is formed by Duane Eddy (guitar), Paul McCartney (bass and vocals), Jim
Horn (sax), Charlie Morgan (drums), Phil Pickett (piano) and Nick Glennie-Smith (keyboards). Finishing
touches were applied the next day and the track was mixed on the sixth. The album “Duane Eddy” was
released on June 19, 1987.
When it was decided that ‘Rockestra Theme’ would be released as a UK single, on September 7, 1987,
Paul prepared (on September 4) an extended version, with the help of Bert Bevans. This was released on
the B-Side of the 12”, on September 21, 1987 – the same day as Magical Mystery Tour was released on
CD for the first time.
2-07 Let It Be
2-08 Let It Be [The Gospel Jam Mix]
2-09 Let It Be [extended version]
2-10 Let It Be [Mega Message Mix]
On March 6, 1987, the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry capsized not far from the Belgian coast. 193
passengers and crew were killed. A charity organization was set up in the aftermath of the disaster. The
Sun newspaper organized the recording of a benefit record by recruiting record producers Stock, Aitken
and Waterman. On March 14 to 16, a cover of ‘Let It Be’ was recorded by many artists. The guitar solo
was divided with Gary Moore first, then Mark Knopfler, then back to Gary Moore. Original writer, Paul
McCartney also contributed to the song, although his performance (and section in the accompanying
video) were recorded independently in his own studios. (In fact, it was later revealed that McCartney
used his voice from the original recording of the 1970 Beatles track and added it to the Ferry Aid
recording.)
The single was released on Monday 23 March 1987.
The B-Side of the 7″ single is a gospel version of ‘Let It Be’, made up on the spot by improvising. The 12″
single mixed by Burni Adams and Jamie Bromfield has “Let It Be (Mega Message Mix)” on the B-side. The
extended version is from the 12” single.
2-11 Children In Need
2-12 Children In Need [instrumental]
A song written by Craig Mathieson and Nicky Hopkins for the BBC run charity “Children In Need”. In
August 1987 Paul produced the song at his Hog Hill Mill Studio in Icklesham, and also contributed bass.
Nicky Hopkins plays piano and keyboards, Woody Woodmansey was on drums, Ken Wilson and Paul Fink
on guitars and Craig Mathieson on vocals.
The single was released in January 1988 on a 7” single by Spirit of Play.
2-13 In Liverpool
This is from the 2 DVD set “Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio” released in 2004.
The song ‘In Liverpool’ was part of the documentary “Echoes” which was on the second DVD along with
another documentary titled “Ghosts Of The Past”.
The ‘Liverpool Oratorio’ was largely based on the former Beatles’ childhood in Liverpool and was written

The Hollywood Vampires was a celebrity drinking club formed by Alice Cooper in the 1970s, with as
principal members: Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz and Harry Nilsson. “Every once in a while John
Lennon would come into town or Keith Emerson and they would be honourable members for the night.”
So when Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry formed a super group in 2014 to honour the music of
the rock stars who died from excess in the 1970s, Hollywood Vampires was the name they adopted.
In July 2014, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry announced: “I did a session with Paul McCartney a month and a half
ago for a private thing. I met him once or twice [over the years] to say hello. To spend 6 or 8 hours in
studio with him recording! He makes you feel like [you’re recording with just another guy]. He just
happens to be a motherfucking huge talent! Everyone’s in the room at once; you play until you get a
good take. It’s the great ego leveller. I was in the studio with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp, playing
guitar, and the three of us are looking at each other like, hey, we’re sitting here with Paul McCartney!
And we’re all looking at each other like open-mouthed kids. Paul was really nice. He’s all about business
(when he’s recording). At 72 he can still hit all those notes…
It’s a project that we’re keeping under wraps for now. There will be (an announcement when the time is
right).”
To honour Badfinger’s Pete Ham and Tom Evans they recorded a new version of ‘Come And Get it’, with
producer Bob Ezrin. The song was released on September 11, 2015 on the only Hollywood Vampires so
far.
