Paul liked to experiment with sounds at home
Every member of the Beatles had one, so there were only four copies in the whole world of the acetate disc in which McCartney recorded himself DJing for his bandmates. However, due to the poor quality of this type of media, none lasted in time.
However, McCartney himself indicated in 1995, in his statement to the book The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film , that there must be some cassette lost with the mix. And it seems that it was true, because the musician Simon Wells has just passed that tape -or, rather, what is left of it- to digital format.
"It was just a tape for my friends," McCartney explained.
"It was like a radio show "McCartney also told in the book, according to the Dangerous Minds website. "It was full of weird interviews , experimental music, sound effects, of some songs that I knew and that the others had not heard. It was more of a mix of weird stuff ", he continued.
"I had two Brenell tape recorders at home, on which I would make experimental recordings and loops with the tape itself, like the ones on Tomorrow Never Knows . And with all those crazy things, all those unexpected sounds, I created something for the other Beatles , a nice thing that they could put on at night. it was only something for my friends Basically," explained the artist.
Now, the aforementioned Simon Wells, editor of Dangerous Minds, biographer and also a musician, has decided to transfer to Youtube the copy of what remains of that cassette, which McCartney baptized as Unforgettable and that, precisely, began with the theme of the same name by Nat King Cole.
Until now, the existence of this playlist in which the McCartney most authentic had been practically a legend for fans of the group, a Unicorn which finally sees the light more than 50 years later! Enjoy it!
