  • Better than the original. Should have dropped the bag pipes from the studio version.

  • somebody answer me....What does Mull of Kintyre refer to?

    I'm a foreign and do not know this phrase.

  • @csanchez54

    the southwesternmost tip of the Kintyre Peninsula in southwest Scotland

  • @csanchez54

    Try Wikipedia next time...

  • When John met this guy back in 1957, he knew he'd hit the jackpot !!

  • Good for a demo. Always good to hear the original take!

  • @rsmaniac100 if you can read it says "the shit" thats a good thing my friend.. your nerdrage was good though

  • erm... decent cover?

  • @1965michaelb ...do you see me saying the music you listen to is shit? NO , so stop insulting music other people listen to , if you don't like it , okay . BUT SHUT THE F*ck Up ! This is a piece of art

  • i love it:) pure!!!

  • good singing

  • Paul McCartney is a highly gifted for music

  • he is the wonder of wonder, mccartney is. the likes of his genius is the stuff of the greatest legends from that part of the world, how he writes this stuff is beyond me. he is amazing and this song has that 'eternal feel' about it.

  • Hoot humor?

  • Humor??

  • McCartney at his best....

    Classic

  • Wonder who's that harmonizing with Paulie...Denny Laine?

  • That is Denny on harmony and also on the keyboard. They were trying to establish wether the 'drone' note could be played right throught the lelody line as well as carry on with the key change at the end. It was recording at Higher Gate Farm, Cambletown. April 1977. Guitar was a Martin D28.

  • @Kimians

    so what did they have for breakfast ?

  • Yes it's Paul.

  • Actually the song is not that bad. I guess it's the corny image they adopted for this video that made Wings absolutely unhip. But unfortunately it did define him.The B side, Girlschool was the A-side in the US and McCartney is much and much more popular there. I don't think Europe ever forgave him for this. He got away with it in Britain because the Scots understand the humour of it, but he never had a rocksong in the charts again. That part of the public wrote him off after this.

  • you "sir" are an old twat/fool!!

  • So what? :)

  • Frank sidebottom is your dad

  • Damn, how did you know??

  • Mummy? Is that you??

  • nah i just wiped your mummy off my nob

    but you was close

  • There really is no answer to that, is there? Goodness, gracious me!

    I had no idea my dear old mother did things like that. She is 92 and in a nursing home. What a naughty lady she is!

  • I talked to mummy on the telephone this morning, and she was asking if you were going to pop around the nursing home for a visit again any time soon. Apparently you made a good impression. "Such a nice young man," she said.

  • lol

  • It must be either Paul overdubbing the organ or maybe Linda is playing,what do you guys think?

  • you could be right it might even be Denny Laine

  • This is Paul McCartney. No question about it.

  • beautiful..how could anyone doubt this is paul?

  • oh city ground mist rolling in from the trent and my desire is allways to be here oh city ground

  • Yeah this is "The Beatle" as the natives of the Mull call him, or Campbeltown more accurate..stunning scenery...avoid the pubs, visit them at your peril...I haved never had so much abuse, by so many in the samne place...nationality and religion didnt help.

    No wonder Paul went so private....cue the deluge of abuse.....

  • were the pubs really that bad?, sorry to hear that, i looked up beerintheevening and not one of the pubs in cambell town left a responce, strange

  • Comment removed

  • Definately our Pauly. But the tape speed on this is slightly higher than normal which makes his voice sound slighly higher pitched. Definately an Epiphone guitar. There!!!

  • I've always thought that was the sweetest photo of Paul. I think that's his daughter, Mary, if I recall correctly.

  • Looks like someone photoshopped PAul's burly face on Pavarotti's body.

  • lol

  • the best ever

  • Of course it's Paul. No doubt about it. His voice can't be duplicated. It's like an imprint on my mind anyways.

  • this is paul..

  • Of course it's Paul. AMAZING song!

  • I didn't think it sounded like Paul, but I sync'ed it up to a live version played by Paul and there is no doubt this is definitely Paul. Everything is a spot on match from the strumming to the breathing.

  • This is definetley Paul. I remember seeing a documentary on the BBC about the recording of this song and this is what the early demo sounded like. Plus anyone who has listened to the Beatles for as long as I have knows a beatle when he hears one. Its Paul no doubt.

  • its amazing how anyone can even doubt its Paul McCartney

    he has a unique voice if this is a imposter i think we would of all heard about him instead of speculating

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

  • I like songs Paul McCartney

  • It's Paul, he's just doing a nasal-y Scotsman voice.

  • Paul and his Casio keyboard. Ha ha.

  • Nice impression.

  • oh give me a break that is Not the one and only billy shears but in fact sir paul himself...it is obvious in the tone inflection accent not to mention the range of such a melodic voice and this is classic paul having probably posted it himself to create the controversy Paul Mc cartny and laurence juber rule We Love You Paul Oh Yes We Do...Yeah Yeah Yeah

  • hi Rick5653 here,check out the Mull posted by Yeah21232,hopefully this will settle this little debate

  • having not met Paul,this is he,take it from me.

  • why are people getting so wound up? enjoy the music

  • tut tut..

  • had a bad day at the office, scattypants comments pissed me off. e.

    I am a good friend of Macca's. Just to set the record straight this is not Paul I have asked him myself but to all the sceptics, if you should ever meet him ask him yourself.

    I spoke to him last week and we had a good laugh about it.

    To all real Beatles experts out there, name the beatles song with a cough in the middle of it ? sorry Paul could not resist, lets see how good they really are ?

  • This is Paul McCartney singing!!! I own every fucking record he ever released, and i`ve seen him live. This is Paul!!

  • A wannabe McCartney - DIE you CUNT!

  • so harsh.. no spiders to pull the legs off ?

  • Having met Paul on many occassions I agree with ip97rock this is definitely not Paul and for Daudios a huge Beatle fan you may be but the guitar playing on this is not Paul either

  • hello friend this is a Paul McCartney recording it is nothing special just a rough draft of a song

    regards.

  • Another fuckin mad man, its people like you that get people like John lennon shot, your so fuckin deluded!Of course its Paul McCartney, who did you think it was?the fuckin queen!/prick!

  • thats Paul, and I'm the Pope

  • Huge Beatles fans here, we all are positive it's Paul, without the voice processing and harmony we're all used to hearing. Just McCartney at home on his tape recorder.

  • It sounds like paul to me.

  • Definitely, this is NOT Paul Mccartney. It's ridiculous the comparison, this song is here sang by an amateur. I Know Paul's voice better than mine, and Paul is a great singer.

  • this is a rough demo,  your comment is ridiculous

  • What a prick!If you cant recognise this as Paul McCartney your eligible for incarceration to broadmoor ...what a fuckin jerk, why bother too post when you havent a clue what the fuck your on about..

  • Try taking your medication on a regular basis it might help...

  • Of course it is Paul!!! Don't you listen him voice? there's no other same

  • I think the same, this is not Paul!!

  • THIS IS NOT PAUL.

  • why whats your name then ?

  • Holy Shit! I can see a strage face in his pocket.

  • Fantastic song.... but WHAT A PHOTO!!!!

  • Paul with an acoustic guitar-what more could you ask for except for a good cold glass of ale and a roaring fire while singing alone.

  • yep

  • I just agree, what a nice post. 5 stars for this amazing song.

  • can you tell me where the mull defenitely is james???

    i have to visit it in my sweet short life

  • Mull of Kintyre is the headland at the SW end of the Kintyre Peninsula which forms the NW side of Firth of Clyde. It's the nearest pt of Scotland to North Ireland. It's rugged and isolated with rocky cliffs and seashore, seal colonies, sandy beaches, etc. Machrihanish golf club and the McCartney's are not far away. I was born there during WWII. My father was a keeper at the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse, first established 1788, nowadays operated as short-stay tourist destination.

  • i get patriotic too

    and i am from bloody germany (ha)

  • am i weird to get a weird patriotic feeling when i hear this song...i am scottish btw lol

  • No, you're not weird. Hell, I get a Scottish patriotic feeling listening to this, and I'm an American. :D

  • good good glad to hear it, i stay 20 miles form the mull of kintyre, may god bless you and yours

  • 美しい声

  • I think to learn the bagpipes you first need to acquire a practice chanter and get some instruction, many pipe bands give this for free.

  • oh wow..This IS Paul - raw home version.

    Simply awesome, love it.

  • PAUL IS GREAT!

  • For Gammonsooker, please tell me how incredible it was playing this song. The bagpipes are my favorite musical instrument. I am 37 and fear taht I am too old to learn. Please tell me I am wrong.

  • You are wrong! Go get a set and practice!

    Cheers,

    BanjoBoog

  • Hi ! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you ! Just like to say you are never to old to learn ! Cheers for your comments !

  • Gammonsooker....RU serious???? You not only met Paul, AND played on this song...but you play the bagpipes?!!! Just writing to you , for me, is a treat. You were there. You were part of the #1 song ever made in the entire world ever ever ever. Please note, this IS just my opinion, but after watching the video of the pipe band marching up the beach....I had goosebumps on my skin and tears in my eyes. BRAVO!

  • I'm curious to know how you managed to aquire this as i played the bagpipes as a 16 year old boy on the record and it is the exact same recording Paul gave us on a cassette tape to learn the Mull before we went up to the farm to record it.

  • i used to collect bootlegs etc a long time ago can't recal where i got these McCartney ones from .hope it brought back some happy memories for you .i also have another shorter version of it the bagpipes part is played with what sounds like a synth .

  • this version has a kinda country feel, the everly brothers were a big influence too, in my opinion

  • Dear friends, dear stonedinsect, thanks for posting it, really lovely!!! it is our Paul, it is him. lovely Andreas

  • Are we sure this is Paul??? Doesn't sound the way he enunciates some things.

  • this is a genuine home demo. phone him up and ask him he's listed under P.McCartney.

  • What a snotty tone. It was a fair question. Strange things turn up here.

  • sorry true fair question. It is the man himself the vocal sounds pretty sketchy like most rough drafts.

  • Its a great Demo you imbicile, try plucking a guitar and singing away like Paul can with ease,I doubt you could pick your nose and talk at the same fuckin time!

  • you need to chill out sir

  • I like this more than the original.

    Very nice. =]

  • Awesome.. .so pure... is that Mary or Stella in Papa Paul's jacket?

  • That's Mary.

  • mary

  • Awesome... so pure...  is that Mary or Stella in papa Paul's jacket?
