When Beggars was released wasn't the latest beatle album the white album rather than magical mystery tour (which wasn't a uk lp).

It's a bit of a silly comment about Abbey Road being a Wings album.
But I know what he means.
Abbey Road is very much a McCartney album in as much as he pulled a lot of threads together to make.. frankly.. a genius album, possibly their best.
The brilliant side 2 medley is McCartney sowing things together.
Pauls contribution to George's Something (that bass!).. and John's Come Together (that bass!!! that backing vocal!!!) should not be undersestimated.

The perception of Abbay Road as "Paul's" album has always struck me as utterly misguided. The four tracks regarded as "classic" Beatles tracks, Come Together, Something, Here Comes the Sun and Because, are by John and George. The two full length McCartney tracks are Maxwell, a novelty song, and Oh Darling, one of those insubstantial tunes that seems to regard rock and roll as nostalgia. The rest of Paul's contributions mark the beginning of his tendency to string together musical fragments rather than developing them into complete songs. Some of those fragments are gorgeous - but they are fragments nevertheless. Paul's best song on the album, the brief but moving "Golden Slumbers", taps the public domain for its lyrics before quickly devolving into "Carry That Weight", which sounds like nothing more than the catchy fade-out of another unrelated track.
But his stuff proves that he knows zero about the Stones, and the idea that macca on SNL has anything to do with the Stones is ridiculous. His prior article said that Mick Taylor guested with them on Street Fighting Man. Most of what you read is BS.Quote

How does Paul McCartney doing SNL mean it's a "checkmate" to the Rolling Stones, who haven't been on the show since 1978? It's McCartney doing what he does. It has zero to do with the Stones.
Not according to the author of the Showbiz 411 article.

It could also be Macca not wanting too many songs on it. He has released several live albums in the last five years. I am surprised the Nirvana song isn't on it. WHo are You should be taken out unless they edit Roger's backing vocals on it, they were painfully out of tune. But he did great on the rest of it. I loved when he was tenderly singing the last lines of Tea and Theater "come have a tea with me..." And Pete grabs the mike and yelled "and have a f... beer!" hilarious.

It could be the Paulvana bit wasn't on it because he plans to maybe do something with them as a project later on. According to an above post, Courtney Love the Yoko Ono of Generation X, approves of the NirMacca sound....which means she's no doubt going to approach Paul to write her next album--I don't think I can "live through this".

Is that the same act as Nirvartney?

The McVanna song has been released on iTunes as a download (studio version). Quite good!
