And the caption is correct, well almost,...the song is 'Love Awake'. The photo dates from 30th May 1979 and was taken in Lympne castle.

Thanks, Kestrel! As always, you are a fountain of Paulformation! I think you, and NancyR and Oobu and probably quite a few here could win any Paul or Beatles trivia contest.

Thank you LadyLeslie. In a few months time that photo will be forty years old...it doesn't seem possible!

I know, it doesn't seem possible at all! When I was a child it seemed like just two months between school years seemed like forever.. now time goes by so quickly!
This is another 1979 photo, although it doesn't look like it was taken at the same time as the "Love Awake" photo.

Wow, what a brilliant photo, thank you for posting it here.
At a guess, I would say that the photo originates from September 1978, at Lympne castle, and shows Paul recording 'Million Miles' for the 'Back To The Egg' album.

Yes, great pic! Add concertina to the instruments Paul can play!

I've just been playing 'Million Miles' and looking at the photo. However, I have read that Paul recorded the song on a balcony at Lympne castle and clearly he's on no balcony in that photo. So maybe its an earlier attempt at recording the song?

You're welcome! Thanks for identifying the date! I love this photo of Paul, and love seeing him play all kinds of musical instruments. It's amazing he's never taken formal music lessons. He's naturally gifted, I think he must play at least 12 instruments, including singing.
Is Lympne pronounced "Limp-knee"? or "Limp-nuh"? Just curious.

Thanks for sharing this, Nancy! It's interesting this song sounds alot like an african american spiritual or folk song, going by a "rough mix" of the song at
It's really lovely, and can picture Paul sitting on a porch with the concertina (or squeezebox) playing it on a summer evening.

This says “Limp” or “Limm” (Click on the English U.K. pronunciations)

Thanks, Nancy! I had a friend from England whose last name was Desborough, but she pronounced it "Dez-bro" - in British English some letters can be silent or not pronounced at all.

Looks like a beautiful place!

Yes, it looks very interesting, thanks for posting the link! Would be a great place to visit while in Britain. Paul and the Beatles seemed to like historic places as settings for their music (thinking back to Chiswick House for the 1966 filming of "Paperback Rider" and "Rain.")
Caption on these photos indicate they were "taken at Castle Lympe, September 1978"
