PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS - COMPLETE COLD CUTS - 3-CD+BOOK+DVD
Amazing BOX with the COMPLETE SESSIONS of the project COLD CUTS, which was supposed to be released in the late 70's....
It is known to those Beatles fans who dig a little deeper into the world of Bootlegs, that Paul McCartney had, and maybe still has, the habit of starting projects, doing a lot of work on it and then lay it to rest in his archives. Most of these projects disappear forever.
That goes for TV specials, like "One Hand Clapping" or "Rockestra", for film projects like "The Bruce McMouse Show" or "Rupert the Bear", but also for album projects, like the double LP-versions of "Red Rose Speedway" and "McCartney II". Many of these projects have appeared on bootlegged videos or records over the last years.
Probably the biggest officially unreleased album project is "Cold Cuts". It was a "Best of Leftovers" from various Wings Sessions during the Seventies. The album was first approached in 1978 and for the last time during the mid 80's. In 1978 it was shelved in favour of "Wings Greatest". In October 1980 Wings again worked on it, but due to John Lennon's death and because of the fact that Wings did end as a group early in 1981 this release also never happened. In the mid 80's it again stayed unreleased, instead the second Greatest Hits project "All the Best" appeared in 1987. Thanks to the Bootleggers all planned compilations are accessible for our examinations.
You should think that once the album is planned and completed for release, it should be perfect and so you can take the same mixes for every new try at releasing it, but not when Paul McCartney does it! Every compilation of "Cold Cuts" had different mixes and was including a different line-up. Because of this fact there are some songs, that are available in up to five different versions. There are Basic Track recordings of some songs, then there is the first final mix (from each actual recording session), plus the different mixes from the three planned line-ups. In this BOX you can finally find everything in prestine quality, plus some rare bonus tracks, as I Me Mine with Linda, Paul and Rod Stewart live!!!!
