Paul McCartney - McCartney Is Missing (Full Album) [2020]

Paul McCartney - McCartney Is Missing (2020)

'McCartney Is Missing' is a 2020 bootleg compilation album, curated by YouTube user Bellsprout, @bellsprout7748. The album is comprised of 'unreleased' / 'missing' / 'given away' songs from Paul McCartney's solo career, thoughtfully placed together into a cohesive album, that I personally believe, can stand up next to his official releases.

Bellsprout's words:
"Obviously, with the songs being bootlegs and all, the sound isn't as polished as we'd all like. But I think the strengths of each song shine through regardless. 'Yvonne's the One' sounds especially crispy. And by the way, there are other unreleased PM songs I could have included, but 'McCartney Is Missing' is really meant to highlight the stuff I think works best in a single album context.

For reference, I have made some minor adjustments to the songs to suit, erm, my preferences. Only for the sake of the album feel and flow, though. These include:

• Raised the highs a bit across the board to reduce muddy sound
• Added a slight delay sound at the end of 'Cage (Emotional Moments)' for a fairly smooth transition into 'Don't Break the Promise'
• Added a fadeout to 'Don't Break the Promise'
• Cut 'Lindiana' by a minute and a half or so (IMO, the original just drags on)

ALSO: 'Don't Break the Promise' did technically officially release on CD in 1997 as part of an EP for 'The World Tonight' -- however, from what I can see, it's not easily accessible via streaming services, so I reckon that makes it viable for inclusion here. Also, it's a bloody great and lesser known little banger, so why not eh?
ALSO ALSO: Big shoutout to The Paul McCartney Project website for info on the man's extensive catalogues of songs, etc. (https://www.the-paulmccartney-project...)
ALSO ALSO ALSO: If someone could suggest another good track for this, do let me know. I always like it when an album has exactly ten songs, for whatever reason..."
