The promo for So Bad, one of my fave macca songs (tho the stripped fan mix is way superber)

And a 1980 rehearsal of With A Little Luck

This song has an easy to pick up and sing section, could replace Hey Jude.

Hahaha! You mean in concert? Fat chance of that ever happening! I know if I went to a McCartney concert for the first time, and he didn't play Hey Jude, I would be supremely disappointed!

An outtake of Mary Had A Little Lamb. This song has an easy to pick up and sing section, could replace Hey Jude.

I have looked for that version of Must Do Something About It! Thanks for posting it, mmm!

In regards to Paul releasing this stuff, there have been rumors of a huge outtake/rarities boxset coming at the end of all the remasters, which, at this rate, means right before I die of old age.

Of which it will cost a fortune and only be available as a deluxe edition with tons of stuff we all can live without.

Listening to all this stuff makes me realise how INSANELY prolific Paul is. Who else could have such an enormous backlog of rare material, recorded in quality enough to be put on an album, which has never seen the light of day?

Another outtake I love from the Ram sessions is the slow, psychedelic Sunshine Sometime.

And the hard Wings rocker from 1972 (?) Night Out.

An outtake from Wings At The Speed of Sound, Must Do Something About It with Paul singing lead.

From the Ram sessions Hey Diddle, a great song to sing along to.

And Same Time Next Year. This was posted earlier but the video was taken down so didnt work. I played this over and over again to the point of overkill upon discovery.

meanmistermustard / Ben Ramon a real treasure trove.

These will all make an interesting album one day (assuming the concept of an album survives). Love "Yvonne" and "Cage"

"Rode All Night" would take some work. Ben Ramon, sounds like a job for you!

I love how in Mr H Atom Paul half sings it and half declares it, as if he's a mad scientist: "well it HAAAS been suggested that the OOOnly difference between a MAAAN and a female..." Makes me laugh.

For my money, the best outtakes are certainly from the Ram sessions.

What an incredible song A Love For You is! Totally should have been on the album, would have fit the mood perfectly, as well as featuring one of Paul's best ever vocal performances, crazy-sounding but effortless high notes.

Also Rode All Night, ...

Damn, how was Mr. H Atom NOT on the album?! Great song!!!!

I think he has said that he really did come up with Mr. H Atom because he heard that men and women are only separated by one hydrogen atom, and it fascinated him.

Why was Yvonne left off Press To Play, its such a great song, far far superior to anything which remained on that album? A very catchy tune yet only available unofficially.

I have no idea how Paul came up with Mr H Atom, can only think something was being inhaled at the time.

Excellent post, paulsbass...never seen it before. Into the sky...that is a real tearjerker. I got choked up the first time I heard the song and story.

Kedame, just caught your "My Old Friend" post - a real tear-jerker.

I'd never seen many of those clips/pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Paulsbass, great little documentary on Billy Joel-McCarrtney.

Joel returned the favor at Citifield, but without the drama of the airplane, police escort, etc...

Other great friends of Paul's include Billy Joel,

Here's the part from the documentary about Joel's "Last Play at Shea" with a cool story about how Paul was able to take part although his plaine was late.

And they performed "I saw her standing there".

Very well done, guys!
