A Hard Day’s Night (1964)

Paul McCartney pointing out the hypocrisy of the press and their ‘Moral Crusades’.

On 17 June 1967, Life Magazine ran an interview with Paul McCartney in which the Beatle admitted to having taken LSD. The UK press immediately seized upon it, and two days later McCartney gave a statement to Independent Television News (ITN).

‘McCartney II’ was originally conceived as a double album but in the end, only 11 songs made it to the finished product. Many of the album outtakes were restored in the 2011 reissue.

The album peaked at number 3 in the US, while in the UK it topped the album charts.

PAUL: After we had done the last Wings album, Back To The Egg, I was fed up with the idea of making albums, you know, just churning them out. So I hired a 16-track machine and got an engineer friend, Eddie, to fix me up a thing where I just took one microphone into the back of the machine direct and I put it into the front parlour of my old farmhouse… We didn’t use a big console. It’s very difficult if you’re trying to work on your own with a big console, so we bypassed it. People said McCartney II was McCartney fiddling the knobs and twiddling, but it wasn’t in my mind. It was me experimenting. It was me getting into synths and me seeing what I could do. I wanted to have some private fun and I thought I’d produce a cassette we could play in the car. I was in total control. I had no echo chambers, no drum machines. I’d play the snare drum in the tiled kitchen to get an echo or fiddle with the machine and guess what interval was needed on my voice to do the effect. I made everything up, except for one song. I’d go along on my bike and a song might spring out of what I had seen on TV the night before. It was like being a sculptor, chopping and changing as I went along… […] It was definitely an experiment. It was me at home, multi-tracking, like McCartney had been. But I’m glad I did that… I started it down in Sussex, then during the summer I went up to Scotland so I just carried on doing it up there.

I really just was fascinated with these things called synthesizers which had appeared on the scene – particularly with sequencers, I loved them. It was new technology and I just wanted to see what it was all about, and have a go, and see what I could do with it. Because the nice thing for me is, you do an album like that and it informs other stuff. It keeps your brain fresh so that when you go and do something else, a tour or something, you may not be playing that stuff but you’ve got the feeling of being someone who’s not finished yet. I’m still experimenting, you know?

Paul, by Linda.

“Brian took us to the Empire Theatre to watch the Shadows and pointed out how they bowed to the audience at the end of their act. He then pointed to us and said, ‘you need to do that.’”
