At Paul’s dogged insistence, his solo LP was issued on this date in 1970 in the UK and three days later in America. Other than some backing vocals from wife Linda, Paul did all the music and vocals by himself. No singles were released, though a live version of “Maybe I’m Amazed” came out years later. The story of the Beatles’ split had just broken. Right or wrong, many thought McCartney (in an odd way) used the breakup as a method to promote his record, which made him into a villain of sorts. It led to a number of bad reviews; critics felt most songs sounded half-finished. IMHO, “Maybe I’m Amazed” is great, but the rest of the album is somewhat lacking. His next LP was definitely better.
