This is amazing, ahead of it's time and also a huge "risk" for a guy who had such a massive main-stream following. Thank you Mojo magazine for once again getting me to check out a track/musician I'd not normally be interested in.
@hereinthebronx I think the fact that it's Paul McCartney does add a coolness factor to it. But I really dug what I was hearing when I first heard it, so I had to look it up. There's a lot of trip-hop tracks that are similar to this.

@MaalePap I take it you mean he is a 'genius' you fuckin thick bastard. Paul McCartney could record himself havin a shit and people would call him a genius just because he used to be in The Beatles. Everythin he did after The Beatles is fuckin nonsense and if he hadnt been in The Beatles no cunt wouldve bought these records.
I read this version (full-length) is on one of the new remasters that just came out. It says there are other full-length versions of songs from McCartney II, as well.
@beatlesfan464 I believe that's from the same source as this. The remasters sound MUCH better than anything that's been bootlegged before. And some tracks aren't even the correct pitch, like the original Blue Sway.
@TheObscureMind J Dilla has a little more intricate beats than this song has, I think. I actually discovered this song (it was not on the first release of "McCartney II") because Paul McCartney himself compared it to Gorillaz and Damon Albarn. And I definitely see a strong resemblance to Gorillaz' first album and 'G-Sides', and partly 'Demon Days', too (not 'Plastic Beach' though). You should check out "New Genious", "Ghost Train", "The Sounder" (without the rap) or "Spitting Out the Demons"
@TerryCraig23 Yeah I listen to Gorillaz and I know those songs. The most similar of the 3 you listed is the Sounder, but other than that I don't really hear it.
@TerryCraig23 Yeah, I've read a lot of people on the Internet comparing this song to early Gorillaz. Paul himself didn't actually make the comparison, though, it was the guy interviewing him. But then Paul talked about meeting with Damon in the past and is interested in doing a collaboration.
@rocketman512 The sound of someone who's just bought a new keyboard and 16 track recorder (and considering the vintage, a shed load of pot) checking his new machines.
No need to rate this. There is areason why sir Paul has been acclaimed so highly and others have not. Wrongly perhaps but all the same. Genius cannot be unrecognized.
I want to also say that this guy (Macca) has such an incredible following when you think how old this track is, how obscure it is. I like the comments it is similar to Gorillaz. Never occurred to me but sure, I agree. It's also one of those songs that on very very frst acquaintance initially you may not like - but then end up humming it for the rest of your life.
This is one of those songs that is about everything and about nothing, at exactly the same time. I like it a lot. Once again, Macca saying, "You were expecting me to maybe sound one way but this is where I'm going. i.e. anywhere at all I feel like''. And doing it so well. I must say though, I prefer the other version to this less polished one (which I hadn't heard before). Interesting anyway. Thanks.
@alfizti There's a shorter version on the b-side of the "Waterfalls" single which is also included as a bonus track on the old "McCartney 2" CD. It is also available from most mp3 stores (it's cheaper from Amazon UK than iTunes UK by the way) as a stand alone download.
This version has been widely bootlegged and is also a bonus track on the due out June 2011 3xCD + DVD edition of "McCartney 2".
@ImAnnaChristine It is not a mug shot. This is from a photo shoot. You can find at least a dozen different expressions if you hunt around for them long enough and they are clearly not mug shots. In other shots he is smiling and making silly faces.
meu tenho 15 anos e acho as musicas daquele tempo muito melhor q as de hj!! aquele tempo as pessoas ia pras festa para se divertir!! Queria ter vivido esta época!!
Calm down everyone, this song was not made for you to hear. It was made so McCartney could check his recording machines. So before you call him "heinous" or "a disgrace" maybe you should listen to the music behind Tpain's autotuned voice.
yeah like 78 or 79 i guess. that's more accurate. i guess it came out later than that but was probably recorded before. still! i want to figure out what he was using! :)
"Check My Machine" was recorded as a way to test the equipment before he began recording his 1980 album "McCartney II". The song was first released in 1980 as a b-side to the single "Waterfalls" and this longer version was included on the CD release of "McCartney II".
Meu pai era dj de bailes ! Aprendi a curtir este som com ela , esses dias estava procurando que nem um louco e ele me passou o nome dela , essa musica realmente representa ... D2 a gravou agora em um de seus clipes ( o comecinho ) Queria ter nascido naquela epoca aposkasdpokasdpokasd ♥
Me traz de volta a época das equipes de bailes em São Paulo... (Chic show - Black Mad - Circuit Power - e outras ... SALVE SALVE - Nostalgia Black... um gd abç a todos que curtiram naquele tempo mano ... valew!!!
I like how all Paul has to do is test out his recording equipment and he comes up with something like THIS! No seriously, this was just him checking his machine!
Esse som traz de volta toda a minha adolescência vivida a 20 anos trás, qdo eu com 15 anos, frequentava os bailes Black's das zonas Leste e Sul de São Paulo. Lembro do preconceito, pois o que um branquinho de olhos verdes com três negros, fazia law. Qdo Check My Machine, começava a tocar e eu começava a levar duas gatas no sambarock estilo floreado, o salão entendia tudo...Hehehe...

very sexy song! I love especially bass in here! such a cool song. Paul in "hip hop (black's people music)" style, I love it! I hate hip hop, but what a nice song, VERY UNDERRATED!!!
He made this album around the time when he let Michael Jackson buy the rights to the Beatles catalogue, right? Two ill-advised moves, fueled by massive amounts of dope, sounds like!
In a bidding war, you allow the other party to win by letting him have the highest bid, if I am not mistaken. Seems like Paul could have outbid Jackson if he thought it important enough. But he is a notorious cheapskate.
Maybe 'outbid' wasn't the correct term - it's not like the publishing rights were being auctioned at Christie's or something.
You didn't answer my question: do you think Yoko also didn't consider it important enough?
He and Yoko were going to buy the catalog together, each paying an equal share. Somehow Jackson got involved without their knowledge, or so the story goes as I've heard.
Yoko was poor compared to Paul or Michael Jackson, so it's irrelevant what she thought.
I admit I don't know what I'm talking about, but I find it hard to believe that someone could somehow just horn in and take McCartney to the cleaners like that, buying the rights to his songs without his having the option to make a counteroffer.
Well at least you admit to not knowing the details. I don't either, but I've read a bit about it and I'm sure we're both oversimplifying it. It does seem ridiculous that Jackson was able to buy them. Keep in mind, Paul fully planned to buy the rights with Yoko - it was to be a 50/50 deal. I believe they were splitting the sum of 40 million, somewhere in that neighborhood. Paul may have missed an opprotunity but it wasn't apparently something he took lightly - I gather it took him years to accept
Well, then, we can both say that he 'missed an opportunity'... and (as I listen to this music) it is more than apparent that it was because he was too high to care! No wonder Yoko hates him. He must been kicking himself after he woke up. Soon after, he would pull an equally idiotic stunt and wind up in a Japanese prison.
