McCartney II was Paul’s first solo album since the formation of Wings in 1971. While it‘s highly electronic style was certainly innovative, its cosily domestic origins were reminiscent of 1970’s McCartney album. Recorded in the summer of 1979, when the future of Wings remained uncertain, the album was conceived at home on Paul’s farm in Scotland. 2011 remaster. Includes printed inner sleeve and booklet featuring the Japanese translation of the lyrics.
Entitled McCartney II because its one-man band approach mirrors that of his first solo album, Paul McCartney’s first record since the breakup of Wings was greeted upon its release as a return to form, especially since its synth-heavy arrangements seemed to represent his acceptance of new wave.
