Description
Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered edition of the classic 1972 album â€œWomanâ€� by Michael McGear. Released by Island Records in February 1972, â€œWomanâ€� was the first solo album by Mike McGear (McCartney) and was a more â€œseriousâ€� record than his work with the Liverpool satirical trio Scaffold, or his work with Roger McGough on the â€œMcGough & McGearâ€� album. Recorded at Strawberry studios in Stockport and completed at Abbey Road studios, the album had a long gestation period and sessions featured such notable guests as organist Brian Auger, Ginger Johnson and his African drums, Andy Roberts et al, the material comprising the album was song-based, (interspersed with recorded dialogue between Mike and his daughter), with some lyrics provided by Roger McGough. â€œWomanâ€� was rejected by EMI Records for release, but was eagerly signed by Island Records. Over the years, the songs on the album, including the emotive title track, have earned both appreciation and a cult following. A gorgeous, eccentric, collection of music, â€œWomanâ€� is an album to savour. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered with a previously unreleased version of â€˜Sisterâ€™. Previous CD editions have omitted some parts of the original LP release such as â€˜Bennaâ€™, â€˜Young Man (Five Years Ago)â€™ and â€˜Black Beautyâ€™. These are now restored on this release.
