McCARTNEY: Paul McCartney will release his 21st solo album “Memory
Almost Full” on the 5th of June, 2007 with the opening track
“Dance Tonight” in which he plays the mandolin. This emotional
and rocking album reunites Paul with his long time producer David
Khane. In fact, it’s a very personal record and a lot of it
is retrospective, drawing from memory, like memories from childhood
ones, from Liverpool and from summers gone. Actually, he started this
album before his last album “Chaos And Creation In The Blackyard”
released in September 2005.
Furthermore, Parlophone, part of the EMI group, has confirmed it will
be releasing the entire Paul McCartney catalogue for the first time
ever, which stretches from Paul’s first solo album through his
releases with Wings.
