PAUL McCARTNEY -
LUMPY TROUSERS [4 DISCs]
From Big O where else? . . . . this is great and really worth checking out. I admit to feeling a bit jaded with having pretty much everything Macca but this was a really pleasant surprise. Great quality and fascinating insight to the rehearsal process and behind the scenes stuff without being boring plus sound checks from great concerts and the Macca band in their prime mostly for the American Radio broadcasts of the 'Oobu Joobu' series. Made available by the legendary Philip Cohen
Big O say:
Rehearsals, soundchecks, radio broadcasts - various dates and venues. Very good soundboard.This excellent 4-Disc-Book set features rehearsal and soundcheck recordings by Paul McCartney and his band taped between late 1989 and 1993. The band - jokingly called Lumpy Trousers by Macca - featured Hamish Stuart, Robbie McIntosh, Paul “Wix” Wickens, Linda McCartney and drummers Chris Witten (1989/1990) & Blair Cunningham (1991-1993). Almost all of the tracks on these discs are taken from Paul’s 1995 American Oobu Joobu radio series - with additional tracks from other sources. All songs are professionally recorded and presented in chronological order.+ + + + +
Philip Cohen, who compiled the boxsets for The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Humble Pie and Nice:
Only a half dozen episodes of Paul McCartney’s “Ooobu Joobu” radio show were ever released on CD (they were on CD singles that are now deleted), but none of the material on this bootleg boxed set were ever included in those episodes.

Can you diggit? I think you can . . . .
