Rare Recordings of Paul McCartney's Most Iconic Tracks to be Released Ahead of Upcoming Soundtrack Album
For fans of Paul McCartney and Wings, there is a treat in store as two rare versions of some of their most iconic tracks are now available for streaming on Amazon Music. The upcoming soundtrack album for the documentary 'Paul McCartney: Man on the Run' will feature 12 songs, including these previously unreleased recordings.
One such track is an alternate mix of "Arrow Through Me," a funky rock ballad that originally appeared on McCartney's 1979 album 'Back to the Egg.' This new version strips away the horns and focuses the listener's attention on McCartney's vocal delivery, with echoey effects creating a unique sonic landscape. It's clear that McCartney was experimenting with different sounds in this take, with his scat singing taking center stage.
Another rare gem is a live rendition of "Live and Let Die," captured during the mid-1970s for the 1980 concert film 'Rockshow.' The original version of the song has become an anthem for fans worldwide, but this live performance offers a fresh perspective on one of McCartney's most beloved tracks. As Linda McCartney introduces the song as being about a British secret agent, it sets the tone for what follows – a soaring ballad with an unforgettable guitar solo from Jimmy McCulloch.
The release date of 'Paul McCartney: Man on the Run — Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack' is set for February 27th. This album promises to give fans a unique glimpse into the history of Wings, as they explore some of the lesser-known tracks in their discography. The soundtrack also includes another rare recording, "Gotta Sing Gotta Dance," which originally appeared in McCartney's 1973 TV special 'The James Paul McCartney TV Special.'
