PAUL McCARTNEY'S U.K. SINGLES DISCOGRAPHY

Paul McCartney, commenting to Deborah Frost in 1982, Record Magazine on how he went about recording one of his solo projects: "When we started off, we came down from Liverpool, we went into the studio we sang 10 songs...And we began to take over control...and become members of the team. So now you stay for mixing, you talk about what's gonna be the single, and you work. You work harder than I ever thought you work. And for someone who only got into music to avoid getting' a job ... But think about it, think about it. I've survived. After the Beatles. And I've even had another group after the Beatles and even that did well. I mean, anyone forced to carry on after the Stones, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin - you can't top it. There's no question you can top it. But even just existing, without topping it, is really tough to do. And me, I just feel really lucky that no matter who's slagged me off here, there and everywhere, somehow I ended up here. I'm just an ordinary fella, really. I've done bloody well." Bloody well indeed! What an illustrious career Paul McCartney has had! What can you say about this great composer/musician that hasn't already been articled by book publishers, fanzines, and newspapers? Paul McCartney, who honed his craft from The Cavern and The Star Club, would one day end up not only being the "topper-most of the popper-most" in rock'n'roll, but would include writing scores of classical music, most notably Liverpool Oratorio, Standing Stone, and Working Classical. Somewhere in between those classical albums, a Knighthood for Paul was in store by Queen Elizabeth II and later he released the critically acclaimed "Flaming Pie". Paul McCartney's solo career is the stuff that most want-to-be musicians dream about. Paul has already lived the dream and more! Well done, Sir Paul!
