Lesser-known McCartney Gem
-
This is a great song, never heard it before in my life until just now, after 71-81-91-2001-2011-2021 ... 52 years of listening to McCartney. No doubt there are other songs along the way I also never heard, but this one is actually inspired. I like the way he plays with his voice, and at key points uses his voice with the power that he has. I also like the instrumentation and arrangements with woodwinds, sounds like some clarinets. He lets loose with the lyrics, and doesn't worry about heavy meaning or making sense, just has fun up in the air, disportively.

I think John would have called this a “granny song.”
What does @wandy think?
P.S. I have the picture sleeve 45 of this (Take It Away/I'll Give You A Ring) so it was actually properly released.

Came across this lesser-known McCartney song again earlier and remembered just how truly fantastic a song it is. Unbelievable how even songs by Paul that were never properly released can be so amazing.
Has anybody else discovered an album called, Return To Pepperland? Its a bootleg album. I downloaded it from YouTube. I love it. Yes there are several tracks on it from legitimate albums, but there are other tracks that were new ( to me at least )

That was one of my thoughts on listening to it, that it has a little bit of a granny sound to it. I wonder if Lennon wrote any granny songs? I can't think of any contenders at the moment.
You should take a picture of that 45 (A & B) and put it up on the internet so that when people Google images related to this song it will pop up.

Return To Pepperland
I've never seen this before, thanks. Will have fun browsing through the tracks. (I like the song title "Squid")
I don't understand why Paul doesn't just release everything he's done. I can sort of understand why he didn't many decades ago, when the record industry was different and there was no internet. But now that there's an internet, it seems there's no reason not to. He can divide up his oeuvre any way he wants: The first major division Beatles/Post-Beatles, then further subdivisions (by decade, or whatever). He can create a special section on his official website, call it All McCartney, and just have everything there -- everything previously un-issued or not on the main albums -- and he can subdivide it, label it, package it, any way he wants. But just put it out there.
Hey that would be a good title for a new Paul McCartney song: Put It Out There. In fact he could write that song and debut it as a formal introduction of the All McCartney website. If Paul is reading I'm available at reasonable rates as a consultant on brilliant ideas...

@fast-city-line “Crippled Inside” has a honky-tonk piano but the lyrics aren’t granny-style.
Here’s the list. Let the debate begin!

Thanks, I'll keep my eye out! Another idea I had (it's still not too late) is a collaboration between James Taylor, Paul McCartney, and Paul Simon -- it would be billed as:
James
James Paul
PaulJT needs top billing for the symmetry of the names -- unless we have the alternative:
James Paul and James & Paul

I think John's "granny song" was Grow Old With Me... That being said, he didn't get a choice as to whether he ever would've released it... then again, he didn't particularly put much faith in "Nobody Told Me", which I think is one of his greatest songs... "I'm Stepping Out" and "Life Begins at 40" also more on the sentimental "granny" side... Again, he never put the final stamp on them.... sadly. He certainly was developing a more sentimental side, before everything went horribly wrong.

I haven't heard any of those songs -- I've got my homework cut out for me! I can't wait to listen to them! To me, a granny song should have old-timey instrumentation -- like clarinets are the best. I think Ringo did a couple of those in his solo career. I wonder if Lennon uses any of that... I'll find out!

Give Grow Old With me a listen... not one of my faves... never was... but as the years roll on.... I really have learned to appreciate it.
