The MAGIC of Paul McCartney’s Self-Titled Trilogy

•THE MAGIC OF THE MCCARTNEY TRILOGY•

Never in the history of music has an artist created a trilogy where they create a concept and then waits decades before revisiting that same concept to see how much his approach has changed. The McCartney trilogy is undeniable proof of the genius of Paul McCartney, which is the reason why i decided to make a video singing my praises for the trilogy… enjoy.

If I’m on a 70s 80s or more recent (2000-today) binge of Paul’s music I always listen to these albums together

as a musician myself, I will be doing a trilogy like the mccartney trilogy just because i'm competitive

Maybe I’m Amazed

He keeps referring to George Martin assisting in production of some songs. But in the case of McCartney 3 I think he may be referring to Giles Martin. The son of George who unfortunately is now deceased.

I think you missed the point about McCartney II, it was an album that wasn’t supposed to be an album, it was him experimenting with the recording equipment he installed at his Scotland studio, Lower Gate Studios. Oh and Wings didn’t break up prior to McCartney II, he disbanded Wings in 1981 in the wake of Lennon’s death. I don’t think you really did your research.

I like your stuff. You are well intentioned and open up this greatest of 20th Century musical artists in a new way. I hope you don’t mind me filling in a few details. I am a Beatles historian.
A few facts. In September 1969 Lennon ended the Lennon-McCartney songwriting team and demanded certain things about future Beatles albums. He did not leave the group. Similarly in December he said to his friend Eric Clapton on the way to Toronto that he was thinking of leaving. He never left. The Beatles broke up in April 1979 because Paul left. Also, the McCartney album includes Teddy Boy which Paul wrote reaching out to John in the dark times of the Get Back sessions. There is nothing in the album to suggest problems with the Beatles. That all is in the Abbey Road and Let It Be albums and Come and Get It single. But when Paul discovered what John had allowed happen with The Long and Winding Road and that they refused to back down despite 1 whole month’s time before release, when instead the other Beatles got Ringo to demand that Paul delay the release of his solo album to make way for Let it Be, and when he was told that royalties for his solo album would be split 5 ways as per the Beatles formula with him getting less than 20%, he put out that famous “Bowl of Cherries” album cover and announced that he was taking a temporary break from the band. And that summer he wrote the songs for Ram and the knives were out.

Is it really a trilogy per say because McCartney One and Two are good distanced from where Paul could expand his craft but the last one was too far apart in my view
