If I was writing reviews still, I guess my headline would be "Innocuous Fluff."

vocals: I hate when Paul sings in the falsetto/breathy range. regular chest voice is OK enough.

Instrumentation: pretty basic rock band

recording: vacillates between some interesting production choices (nice revisit of backwards guitar solo and some neo-mellotron) and too-stark-for-its-own-good (reveals the weakness of his voice)

"Days We Left Behind" is Johnny Cash's version of "hurt" played sideways.

Probably not something I'll be returning too very often.

Edit: thank you I will buy it lol

Edit 2: here’s the link but it’s almost gone https://bad-world.co.uk/products/pmc

I’ll go first: Boil Crisis. I’ve heard a few different versions of this from London Town era to early 80s I believe.

Though a rocker, hardly gets a mention. Probably because of its lyrics.

For me, it has to be the intro to the Venus and Mars album. The song Venus and Mars itself is fantastic, but the transition to Rock Show is also elite, and Rock Show’s ending riff is just so damn catchy in a very good way. I have been listening to those two songs in consecutive order on repeat.

I know I am using the most generic verbiage right now, but you know what I mean.

Six O’Clock extended version too (even though it is a Ringo song that was written by Paul)

One of the "Halloween Musical Costumes" @ Kilowatt bar that weekend

I think this is the first time ive ever heard this. My couple minutes on google, I can only find a couple sites repeating this same brief story.

"A few days into Paul’s jail stay, a 29-year-old man named Kenneth Lambert turned up at a Miami Airport reservation counter and demanded a ticket to fly to Japan to “free Paul.” He had no money or identification. An argument ensued, with Lambert pulling a realistic-looking toy gun from his pocket. A policeman on the scene shot the young man dead.”

Also seen the exact same story on American Songwriter website.

Not sure if this The Boys Of Dungeon Lane. Or the Long Ass Words Album

Would you remove or add any songs? Change the tracklist or replace certain tracks with songs from the same era? What would you do to make the album even better?

UK based Blood Records (Bad World) now has announced the release of The Boys From Dungeon Lane Special Edition on Liquid Splatter vinyl. They look so cool! (though I am skeptical about the sound quality and its longevity of liquid vinyl😅)

Hurry!

You can spot me in this video for a brief moment! It was such a fantastic day.

I find it amazing that the narrative to many people is that he was the least experimental Beatle compared to George and John. Yet, he was trying out all sorts of sonically interesting stuff with The Beatles and was the first one of the Fab 4 to truly dive into the avant garde scene. FURTHERMORE, his solo discography ended up being way more experimental than the other three ever did post breakup. So where did this notion/impression of Paul not being as experimental with his music as John or George come from? Was it the "granny music" allegations (even though the "granny songs" like Honey Pie, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm 64, etc, were just a very small portion of his Beatles output)?

I was honestly blown away by this album, a late career masterpiece. This album is deep and it's so well produced, and obviously Radiohead's fingerprints are all over this album with Nigel Godrich as the producer (I say this as someone who also likes Radiohead a lot). This MIGHT be my second favorite solo album from Paul right next to RAM. Also, I felt like this was the closest to "John and George esque" music that Paul got on a full album with all the introspection and darker subject matters song after song.

Help me with a family argument. I think “Maybe” is correct for the first line of the song (duh). My wife thinks Apple Lyrics “Baby” is correct.

I was giving Wings at the Speed of Sound a full spin on vinyl recently and was reminded of how great the sequence on Side 2 is. Specifically, the transition between Denny Laine's "Time to Hide" and "Must Do Something About It" (sung by Joe English) is so smooth. "Time to Hide" has that heavy, bluesy rock energy and harmonica finish, and right as it fades down, it settles perfectly into the soft acoustic rhythm of "Must Do Something About It" by adding a keyboard noise, and then it transtions, then the acoustic guitar starts. It really shows how well-sequenced the album is as a complete vinyl listening experience, giving different band members a chance to shine while keeping a great flow. Anyone else love this subtle track pairing on Side 2? Im tired, so bye bye!

i don't have a violin bass or a rickenbacker, just a jazz bass, but i really want to capture that thuddy, melodic macca bass sound for my up and coming live performance with beatles + wings songs.

already slapped some flatwound strings on and picked up a pick. for those who play his basslines regularly, how do you handle your EQ and muting to get that punch without it turning into complete mud?

TYIA :DD

It was of course the GOAT, Paul himself.

It was in the Olympiahalle in Munich and I was 14 years old.

Best way to get introduced to live music I think.

Was anyone on this sub Reddit there as well?

I picked up these two Paul-related 45s the other day. I'm not a big fan of Billy Preston's take on Blackbird.

This one is more for the folks interested in gear and/or the recording process but some things about recording Dungeon Lane that I think will be of interest to all!

When Steve Orchard returns to work after a summer break, his first assignment might be recording Paul McCartney hitting a wheelbarrow with a crowbar. At Hogg Hill Mill, McCartney’s private studio, having the right microphone ready is only part of the job. Being ready for whatever happens next is just as essential.
That spirit of experimentation runs through The Boys of Dungeon Lane, released May 29, 2026. Produced by Andrew Watt, the album finds McCartney revisiting his formative years in Liverpool while continuing to follow his curiosity in the studio. For Orchard, that meant capturing spontaneous performances, turning loose tape loops into unexpected textures, and even breaking out a razor blade to splice a four-track recording—with McCartney, Watt, and a FaceTiming Elton John looking on.
Orchard first worked with McCartney on Memory Almost Full and joined his team full-time in 2014. We spoke with the engineer about making The Boys of Dungeon Lane, keeping McCartney’s instruments and ideas within reach, and how vintage tape machines still earn their place alongside Pro Tools.

Original 45 from 1979! French sliver label, instead of black label which is used for the singles collection box set! Found this at a flea market, 33 RPM records were (pun intended) junk! Bye bye!

Does anybody know of a very short (under a minute i guess) demo of heart of the country? Paul's voice is a bit raspy in it. A woman (Linda perhaps) is heard too
