Seems Like Old Times ( McCartney) This title was recorded as a demo in August 1980. The recording happened at Paul's private Rude Studios in Scotland. Most of the recordings this month were intended to be demos for the forthcoming album "Tug Of War", but Seems Like Old Times was not included in the final playlist of Tug Of War. It remains unreleased today. Length: 4'01 |

Rode
All Night (McCartney) A rough version of this number was recorded during the Ram sessions and the refrain was later incorporated into "Giddy", a number given to Roger Daltrey. the song itself remains unreleased. Length: 8'47 |

Partial To Your Abracadabra (Dury / Jankel) TBrand New Boots and Panties is a nice idea: the stars of today celebrating Ian Dury's life by recreating his best-known album, 1977's New Boots and Panties. Too often, tribute albums fall at the first fence (why did they bother?); but this time, it's a marriage made at the Match-Stick, Beacontree. Madness were born for "My Old Man"; Billy Bragg does very well on "Billericay Dickie"; Shane MacGowan's take on "Plaistow Patricia" has all the rakish charm of kamikaze karaoke and Paul McCartney's "I'm Partial to Your Abracadabra" boasts the same raw-throated energy he displayed on Run Devil Run.. Length: 3'32 |

Maybe Baby (Buddy Holly) Soundtrack to UK film featuring 1 exclusive track from Paul McCartney, the title track, 'Maybe Baby' along with 15 other tracks. Paul McCartney's version of "Maybe Baby" is one of the best cover songs he has ever done. Produced by Jeff Lynne, Paul's version of the Buddy Holly song would be right at home on a Traveling Wilburys album. What a shame that Paul never made a record as a member of the Traveling Wilburys with his former bandmate, the late George Harrison. Length: 1'57 |
|
Lindiana (McCartney) A number recorded on Saturday 1 December 1984, a day when Paul recorded "We Got Married". "Lindiana" was originally considered as the flipside of "Figure Of Eight", but remained unreleased. Length: 5'50 |

Her Majesty (Lennon / McCartney) Her Majesty is the last track of the last Beatles' album. Unfortunetaly, this track only lasts a few seconds. Here is a long version of Her Majesty that was recorded in January 1969 during the Get Back Sessions. Length: 2'12 |

We Met Somewhere Before? (McCartney) Recorded
in Fall 1977, this title was specifically composed as the theme song for the
"Heaven Can Wait" movie, but it was finally passed over. Later on,
in 1979, it could be heard at the beginning of the Ramones' "Rock &
Roll High School" movie but it did not appeared on the soundtrack LP. This song was also part of Paul's
project "Cold Cuts" that was never released. Length: 5'00 |
