you are right! wow, that sounds like the 1973-74 crazy intense John singing, I would have thought that came from the Phil sessions. You're right, that album is more John's production sound that Phil's.

McCartney - Coquette
Vs Lennon - Bring It On Home to Me (here's an unused take) and here's Paul doing Bring It On Home to Me from Choba and here's Lennon's album version from the reocrd I like Lennon's version only slightly more than Paul's Coquette, I like it quite a bit more than Paul's Bring It On Home to Me. I like the additional bite John brings, rather than the smoothenss. on that particular song. I like how John and Phil just let the bass and beat ride over all the breaks, with the piano. that is pure rock sound. Paul does that on Coquette, but not really on his BIOHTM. sort of does.Choba is crap though, I agree that Lennon's record often beats it!

RUN DEVIL RUN

*Perry*:
It's such a distressing album, you can hear he's having fun in places but he sounds quite lost for most of the time. It's a great document of the time.
I've never thought of it that way. The album has struck me as a total hoot, far better than his albums of original material from that period, which were pretty weak.

Run Devil Run is an incredible album. It plays loud and its the sound of a man rediscovering music, life and his reason for being (this was his first record after Linda's passing). Its bursting with vitality and energy; its raw, angry and gritty. I think it was a cathartic album for Paul, his own primal scream album in a way. I do like John's album but it now sounds a bit stale and bland by comparison. Rock n Roll does have a better cover photo than Run Devil Run though.
