Title: Cold Cuts Box Set In The Works
Post by: JimmyMcCullochFan on May 14, 2009, 05:38 PM
Paul McCartney has forever been teasing his fans with tales of an album called "Cold Cuts and Hot Hits", which was going to be an album of songs from throughout his solo recording career intersped with outtakes and unused songs that fell by the wayside along the line. His band Wings kept adding to those recordings, but the album was never officially released. When the Wingspan compilation album was released without any real rarities, true fans felt that a great opportunity was missed. Guess what? It looks like it's finally going to happen! And Paul has amassed a lot more material in the intervening years, so when this beast finally gets released, it'll be a boxed set of 4 CD's.
Due for release in 2010, Wogblog has obtained the track list for disc 1: 1969-1972.

1. Goodbye
2. Maybe I'm Amazed - 1st original mix by Chris Thomas
3. Every Night - take 1
4. Rode All Night - edit
5. A Love For You
6. Little Lamb Dragonfly - without strings
7. Get On The Right Thing - take 1
8. Monkberry Moon Delight - alternate vocal take
9. Sunshine Sometime
10. Big Barn Bed - complete Ram ukulele version
11. Dear Friend - w/o strings and horns
12. Some People Never Know - oboe version
13. Breakfast Blues - instrumental edit
14. Mary Had A Little Lamb - long version
15. Give Ireland Back To The Irish - slow version take 2
16. Tragedy
17. Thank You Darling
18. Soily -1972 studio version
19. Best Friend - studio version
20. The Mess - studio version
21. C Moon Jam - with John Bonham
22. Lazy Dynamite - long version
23. Night Out - instrumental
24. Hi Hi Hi - slow verson
25. Only One More Kiss - take 1
Hidden Bonus Track: Radio spot with untitled instrumental for Hi Hi Hi / C Moon recorded at Abbey Road.

It seems to confirm that yes, there IS a version of C Moon featuring the late, great John Bonham of Led Zeppelin on drums. 55 tracks were reviewed for this disc and these 25 tracks remained. The tracks for disc 1 were remixed at Abbey Road a month ago. What's more: Further boxed sets are to be expected! We keep hearing about another 4CD set featuring only demos! And yet another, featuring live recordings! Great stuff to please the old Wings fans for sure!

If this is true, this is awesome news. Yes, when Wingspan came out, there was some hint that this was going to happen. Wingspan was now eight years old. I gave up years ago about seeing this anytime soon.

Maybe, with Paul et all doing "The McCartney Years" has given Paul the impetus to dig a little more in the archives. Supposedly, there is more in Paul's archives than there is in John's. We know how much is in John's, as was evidenced by "The Lost Lennon Tapes".

Thanks for the info.  :)

Yeah, I've wondered if that DVD set has made Paul a bit nostalgic for his Wings and past solo days.  

Has anyone here listened to Paul's old radio program "Oobu Joobu"?  It would be fun if he released that too.

A lot was released on bootlegs, but it would be nice to see an official release of this material.

i did read when Wingspan came out that he said he was putting together a boxset of unreleased material, live stuff and various
rarities, but nothing ever came of it. maybe he put it to one side and forgot but remebered recently. in other words, "he forgot to
remember to forget" :P

Rather 'he rembered to forget to remember'.

Maybe Paul wants, and smartly so, to take advantage of the upcoming hype that will surround the remasters. Surely, there will be a renewed interest in The Beatles, and with that comes renewed interest in Paul, John, George and Ringo.

Could be. But that idea could also mean that he hasn't got any new (or enough) material to be released this year.

^  But that would be strange because I've heard he's been writing new songs lately.  But these are all rumors, I guess. :P
