Paul's first solo single.
Credited to "Paul McCartney".
The single was recorded in January 1971 in New York with the New York Philharmonic and session men,
Dave Spinozza and Hugh McCracken (guitars) and Denny Seiwell (drums), with Paul producing.
As with John and his composing credits with Yoko, Paul had problems with listing Linda as co-writer
(credited to "Mr. and Mrs. McCartney" on the label).
Sir Lew Grade, who owned Paul's publishing, maintained that Linda was incapable of writing any song.
The single did very well reaching number two, but was kept off the top slot by, Mungo Jerry and "Baby Jump".
On the standard Apple label, the single did NOT appear in a picture cover in the U.K.
Once Paul began using the "Capitol" label in England in 1975, this single was re-issued on Capitol,
but retained the Parlophone catalogue number, as shown above.
The single sold a reported one million copies worldwide.
