Recorded earlier this year in Sussex (UK), \u003cem\u003eMcCartney III\u003c\/em\u003e is mostly built from live takes of Paul on vocals and guitar or piano, overdubbing his bass playing, drumming, etc. atop that foundation. \u003cem\u003eMcCartney III \u003c\/em\u003espans a vast and intimate range of modes and moods, from soul-searching to wistful, from playful to raucous and all points between — captured with some of the same gear from Paul’s Rude Studio used as far back as 1971 Wings sessions. And Paul's array of vintage instruments he played on the new album have an even more storied history, including Bill Black of Elvis Presley's original trio's double bass alongside Paul's own iconic Hofner violin bass, and a mellotron from Abbey Road Studios used on Beatles recordings, to name but a few. Just as \u003cem\u003eMcCartney’s\u003c\/em\u003e 1970 release marked Paul’s return to basics in the wake of the biggest band break-up in musical history, and the 1980 avant-garde masterpiece \u003cem\u003eMcCartney II\u003c\/em\u003e rose from the ashes of Wings, \u003cem\u003eMcCartney III\u003c\/em\u003e finds Paul back on his own, turning unexpected circumstances into a personal snapshot of a timeless artist at a unique point in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Paul McCartney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57431739302219,"sku":"3513659","price":3.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/image_of_3513659.png?v=1779698867","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/mccartney-iii-viny-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
