    Paul McCartney is an exceptional artist and he’s very humble. Coming Up is one of my favourite songs ever.

    At this time if I have it right Lennon was compiling demos for Double Fantasy eying a comeback. During Lennon’s sabbatical Paul recorded 5 studio albums(all top ten, majority number one) a wildly successful world tour, a number one live album and further consolidated his vast wealth and charity work. Many of the songs are great. Many of the thirty songs Lennon composed during that period are wonderful. It’s probably better they never worked together again but I often think it might have been amazing.

    I love this album because it is so bizarre - everything from synthpop-blues (On the way), to acid jazz (Special Friend), to trance (Frozen), to insane ear worms (Temporary Secretary), to a completely coincidental Brasilian Favela Club Hit (Check My Machine). It's an album that would never be released today.

    John Lennon was in a car in NYC on his was to (or from) the studio & hearing "Coming Up" on the radio for the first time.. and was trying to listen who it could be.. and exclaimed "F*CK A PIG, IT'S McCARTNEY!"

      Coming Up came out in March 1980. John Lennon didn’t enter a studio until August 1980. John hearing this single in early 1980 prompted him to make a new record (that and his sailing trip to Bermuda)

    It’s so good to have this interview available to watch. And what’s more, for free!That being said, we sometimes have to sacrifice fidelity. It’s the price we sometimes have to pay. For anyone out there looking to boost volume and add some light compression, I strongly commend buying a little headphone amp/mixer. They aren’t too expensive, and you can get units with multiple channels. Mine is made by ART, nothing fancy. Sweetwater has some good options. I’m not affiliated, lol. But this little unit sounds amazing for this application! And it has 4 channels. Each of them has independent volume knobs. Accepts 1/8”and 1/4”. The input on mine is only 1/8” / aux. Perfect for a laptop or phone. You’ll be able to enjoy many of these old gems that have lost their audio quality. Light compression that’s inherent in the headphone amp also serves to smooth out those spiky waves. Of course with boosting the volume, you’re also gonna be boosting the signal-to-noise ratio. But fortune favors the bold. Cheers!

    I'm not sure Rice was a good choice of interviewer for this - he's so conventional, and lyric-minded, that it was inevitable he wasn't going to warm to all but a few of the songs, and that comes out in his somewhat condescending remarks at times. All the same, it was interesting to watch the two of them interact.

    The "good lyric" discussion implies "commercial lyric" and that should have been emphasized, versus "art lyric", that has a primary artistic purpose meant for the artist's self expression and not necessarily for generalized commercial purposes. Having said that, the same song can meet BOTH art and commercial criteria and often did with the Beatles' songs. But as a song writer myself there is the distinction between the two.

When I think of true songwriting talent from those years names like David Bowie, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Paul Weller, Billy Joel, Prince jump out and they all fall into the shadows when you compare with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker from Steely Dan but I suppose they are a partnership so perhaps don't count for this conversation. McCartney needed Lennon. Even after 1966 when they both wrote separately for the band he needed him for inspiration. After 1970 that we've had 5 decades of mediocrity at best.
