50 years ago, McCartney introduced the world to a solo Beatle's new life
Even McCartney himself has been dismissive:"They were almost throwaways, you know?" McCartney said in the 1976 book."But that's why they were included… That was the whole idea of the album."
From a songwriting perspective, it's a mish-mash from his craftsman's shed:"Hot As Sun," a two-minute-long instrumental built around a Spanish style guitar, dated back to the pre-Beatles band the Quarrymen.
"Valentine Day," a lo-fi instrumental with hand percussion and a fun rock riff, and"Momma Miss America," another instrumental jam with wild guitar lines nodding to the likes of Eric Clapton."Every Night" with its trademark McCartney"dooo doooo wooowahhooohhhhh"s."Man We Was Lonely," with its riff that's like a precursor to Queen's"Bohemian Rhapsody":"Yes, we was lonely, hard pressed to find a smile," he sings.
