Product Description
There were few '70s rock albums as widely anticipated as this, McCartney's first solo recording. In the wake of the Beatles' well-publicized acrimony, Paul must have felt like tweaking people's expectations because McCARTNEY turned out to be the most unconventional, resolutely non-commercial recording of his career. Don't be misled by the presence of the megahit "Maybe I'm Amazed." While that piano-based song of self-discovery and romantic devotion is a superb, moving composition, it's the anomaly here. ...See Full Description

| Some very nice tunes Music for the sake of music. Some strange things but mostly rememberable and very enjoyable. By lovegoodmusic (on the fringe in CA)  This review is for a different format. |
| Pure Paul This has always been my favorite Paul McCartney Album.The songs are great,and I love the fact it was recorded in his living room.He also plays all of the instruments on the album. Just brilliant! By Tom (Rochester,NY.USA) This review is for a different format. |
| BEST SOLO! I think this is definitely his best effort after The Beatles with maybe Band On The Run as his second. It seemed like they all had really good solo careers starting out and then progressively got worse. Harrison's best was All Things Must Pass as John's were Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. I think there is always some healthy competition in a group setting and the creative juices slowed down for them after a couple of albums away from each other. But that is just my opinion!

| McCartney's First Gets Better With Age I have held off purchasing McCartney's first album waiting for any upgrade to the original cd release. This was it. Sonically pure, it plays like an "old friend" and reminds why I have always loved and enjoyed Paul's lyrical simplicity and musical taste. Don't forget, this album was where we first heard Maybe I'M Amazed, a wonderful ode to his then-budding true love for his life partner, the late, great La, La, La, Lovely Linda. Enjoy!

| True McCartney McCartney was getting "back to his roots" with this first solo effort. I think he wanted the Beatles to "get back" to this kind of basic rock. This album brings back many good musical memories for me. You'll enjoy it too. By a reviewer (Memphis, TN USA)  This review is for a different format. |
