How do you make a Ringo bootleg interesting?
Stick George Cloud 9 mixes on it.
By the way whats happening with this thread? Is it just Paul or all 4? It is moving or staying, being split into separate threads for each beatle? In some ways it would make sense for it to be separate so people would find George rarities in the George section. But if all mixed in someone who is looking for a Paul rarity might discover George through listening to his rarities. And lets not forget Ringo. He has done some really good tracks. Ringo's Rotogravure is a good album, im being serious.

I don't know what's being done to it. I'm going to keep posting Paul stuff, when I get a spare minute, but I guess you could start a George rarities thread, too. It would make it a lot easier to find things. I'll post a few more videos soon.

Carl Perkins featuring Paul…You should definitely read the story surrounding this song. It is in the video description.
From the Back to the Egg Sessions
From the film Everybody's Fine…even though it is a commissioned song, I always felt this was a truly personal song.
A nice little whistle tune, with chords based around two fingers, hence the name. Has a nice little story at the beginning.
One of Ringo's best, featuring Paul. I really love how their voices blend together. It really shows how well of a harmonizer Paul actually is. He doesn't get to do harmony that much with other voices anymore.
From Steve Martin's newest album, Rare Bird Alert…written by Steve.

Wow, My old friend (+ story!) made me cry. Thanks for sharing.
Cage is not as spectacular as some comments at youtube promise…
I like many of his b-sides – but almost always I immediatly agree with his choice to leave them off the album.
I want to come home is definitely a "growing" song, sounds unspectacular at first but becomes deeper.
Two fingers is just beautiful, live in the studio!
Here's one of my favourites, a b-side from the "Hope of deliverance" single, which contained two other great songs "Big boys bickering" and "Long leather coat".
Kicked around no more

Live version of Big boys bickering (listen to Sir Paul using f-words!!)

Of course it is, it's you and me! We're the same! You complete me!! 
Sorry, folks, for that emotional outburst… When you're in the middle of a fight with your ex-wife it's just NICE to find someone actually agreeing with you…

No worries, no worries…we all need someone to agree with us sometimes. We are Paul fans, and we must stick together!

Robber's Ball…don't ask. Seriously. It's fun, though, and I think it came out of a jam with Denny Laine. The things Paul comes up with off the top of his head are…interesting, to say the least. I'd love to know what goes on in his noggin.
Waterspout. Along with Yvonne, this is one of the most popular unreleased Paul tunes. It really gets stuck in your head when you hear it, and it is another of Paul's storytelling songs. I like it a lot.

Ooohhh…that really is excellent! I wish I could download that song. I know there is a cd of the Bridge School benefits out, but it doesn't include this.

Isn't it? I mean, having Paul sing harmony, and beautiful harmony, is great. Thanks Neil for doing this show. And I love Neil's original (Off 1970's After The Gold Rush – great album, highly recommend it). A triumph.

I've been looking to get into some new music. I'm not really a music buff. I never really cared for it until I met the Beatles. Them and Paul are really the only musicians I care much about. I know I need to rectify that. Any recommendations? Classic rock, punk, rap, pop…anything.
Have you seen Paul and Neil do A Day in the Life at Hyde Park?
It is multiple parts awesome and hilarious because Paul looks so drunk…though I'm not sure he was. He apparently was watching the show from the wings, so I don't know how much alcohol he could have had. I couldn't imagine being there!

No, I hadn't. And, if someone acted as stupidly as Paul and WASN'T drunk, I'd march him to the mental hospital. He was drunk, all right.

Found a really interesting Paul McCartney collaboration, he discovered a singer songwriter called Glenn Aitken and signed him to his MPL publishing company. Paul played the Hoffner on "Ordinary People" – a track on Glenn's debut album Extraordinary Lives. I downloaded it on iTunes. Great track.

Ahh…he and Neil looked like they were having a blast! They are apparently great friends, mainly because Linda was friends with him before she met Paul. He spoke at Linda's funeral and inducted Paul into the R&R Hall of Fame. Anyway, I thought it was a great moment. The crowd seemed to have loved it!

I never knew that about Linda. I've always loved Neil – that's the rule if you're a Canadian. I really think you'd like his 1972 album Harvest, or 1970's After The Gold Rush. Why don't you take a listen?
Edit: But it makes sense. Linda would have photographed Buffalo Springfield at some point, and she sounds like quite the "accommodating" back then. Not that I even have a slight idea if anything happened. But it just warms my heart to see two rock legends, acting nice with each other.

Hey…thanks for the recommendations! I've been wanting some because anyone Paul respects must be great! He and Linda were great friends, and it is possible they were more, but I'm not sure. Both she and Paul sowed some wild oats before they settled down. Mostly Linda just loved Neil's music. I think the final concert she went to was his, and he was very sweet in allowing her special seating, or something. There is also a letter in some museum sent from Paul to Neil saying he and Linda had been listening to Live Rust over and over and that side 4 was "kick ass!"
I like to see when musicians are friendly with each other, too. Other great friends of Paul's include Billy Joel, Pete Townshend, and Elvis Costello (though there was initially tension, they seem to have overcome that at some point, as Paul is now working with Elvis's wife Dianna Krall, and Elvis always has nice things to say about Paul). It has often been said, however, that Paul never really felt like he had REAL friends outside of The Beatles and Linda. It was always down to Linda to stay in touch with people because Paul felt no one would really be interested in hanging out with him, or some such. Sad, isn't it, that such a well-liked man around the world has few close, close friends (that we know about) because of his own insecurities? I think mostly his friends include family and people like his personal assistant for 40 years, John Hammell. He's everywhere Paul is and is thanked on virtually every piece of work Paul has done in recent years. He's the one driving the car on Paul's wedding day, and he's the one that told paparazzi to take pictures of that "fucking whore," instead of Paul, in reference to Heather after the divorce. Bros before hos, huh?
Anyway, that's enough "Paul Education" for the day. Thanks again for the recommendations!!
