  • When I hear the birds, I picture someone jumping into a pool and the ducks flying out.

  • There is an Italian progressive track of the same year which samples

    guitar sound at 0:48 and everything between 0:50 and 1:00,

    it's called "Oeuvres" by Claudio Rocchi.

    Sadly it's not on the Tube; I'll upload it sooner or later

    so you can hear by yourself;

    plus,that piece is interesting in its own shape:

    it's the first case of track sampling in Italian "popular"music,

    that kind of pop which merged with avant-garde tape manipulation practices

  • Probably McCartney had this movie in mind

    when composing this track;

    I just discovered that Kreen-Akrore are a Brazilian tribe

    /watch?v=HhAvuPlhdNA

  • @Neurodisco77 Yeah, he said something like he "wanted to capture the sound of their hunt" lmao

  • Home made one man show ( with Linda...:)) was amazing ! except "Junk" & "Maybe I'm Amazed" all works of this home-made masterpiece-album I heard for the first time. I was 6 years old in 1970. LONG LIVE PAUL MCCARTNEY ! Thanks for posting !

  • hahaha hes a better drummer than ringo

  • @drumsofthunder32 When Lennon was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world he answered "Ringo is not even the best drummer in The Beatles" LOL ;)

  • His breathing!!!!1 it's killing me!

  • @pettyspringsteen312 ahahah I KNOW

  • esta cancion se me hace como un tema experimental como lo que fue revolution 9 los beatles juntos siento que lo es esta cancion para Paul McCartney solista

    pero es muy buena xDDDDD

  • love the guitar riff!

  • Two chords- genius!

  • Most interesting thing on this McCartney first post Beatles album is that he played all instruments alone.

  • Wow, I really loved this album... I had only heard 'Maybe I'm Amazed'... I love The Beatles, but they're respective solo careers are the ones that I don't dig a lot... But this is a well piece of art... This song has some psychedellic elements, as well as progressive (time signature changes), and avant-garde (use of vocal effects).... Reminds me a lot of early Pink Floyd songs... :) Surely this album is the next I'm buying out of iTunes...

  • so cool... i've never heard of this album before. I'm buying it on vinyl right now

  • Brillant album- great concept! Badly misses the direction of a producer- glyn johns would have done the trick!

  • @01HILARYKEEGAN

    I disagree :) I think the fact that there was no producer gave Paul his intellectual and musical freedom and space to explore his own concepts... Like zeldamex said at times it reminds you almost of Pink Floyd! The second side of the album is a good example of this. The first side was maybe what you'd expect from a McCartney album (Acoustic based love songs),which don't get me wrong are brilliant in their own right. But part of what makes McCartney McCartney is his creativity :)

  • @Rondo I love this album because of the lo-fi, loose feel and I agree that the 'no producer, DIY instrumentation' is great! - but even glyn johns as a engineer wud have ironed out the many production flaws (like unwanted distortion, microphne set up etc)- In 1970 Glyn johns produced (mainly as an engineer) the Who's incredible 'who'sNext' album- just saying he wud have been a great man to have around in working successfully with paul in the past! Super album! Check out 1997's 'Flamming Pie' :)

  • great track.

    unfairly overlooked by the masses.
