Pressetext (deutsch):

Esoteric Recordings veröffentlicht diese neu überarbeitete Album McGEAR von Mike McGear (jüngerer Bruder von Paul McCartney), das 1974 als sein zweites Soloalbum veröffentlicht wurde. Es enthielt eine Auswahl großartiger Songs wie Rainbow Lady, Simply Love You, Givin’ Grease A Ride und The Man Who Found God On The Moon. McGEAR präsentierte auch ein inspirierendes Cover des Roxy Music-Songs Sea Breezes, das evokative The Casket und die Hit-Single LEAVE IT. McGEAR war charmant, exzentrisch und einzigartig in gleichem Maße und war eines der großen Alben seiner Zeit.

Diese lang erwartete Neuauflage – McGEAR war 20 Jahre in keiner Form verfügbar – ist unter voller Beteiligung von Mike McGear/McCartney entstanden. Das Material wurde von den Original-Masterbändern neu remastert und in den berühmten Abbey Road Studios geschnitten. Das Set enthält ein Poster, ein Essay und ist eine absolut stimmige Hommage an das geniales Werk von Mike McGear/McCartney.

Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded 3 disc clamshell box set edition of the album, McGEAR by Mike McGear, featuring 2CDs and a DVD. Originally released in 1974, McGEAR was the second solo album by Mike McGear/McCartney and was a more „serious“ record than his work with the Liverpool satirical trio Scaffold, or his work with Roger McGough on the McGOUGH & McGEAR album. Recorded at Strawberry studios in Stockport, (the musical home of the band 10cc), the album was produced by Paul McCartney (who also played on the album and co-wrote most of the material with Mike) and featured Linda McCartney and members of Wings, along with guests such as Paddy („Pipes“) Moloney of The Chieftains. The album featured a selection of tremendous songs such as Rainbow Lady, Simply Love You, Givin‘ Grease A Ride and The Man Who Found God On The Moon. McGear also featured an inspired cover of the Roxy Music song Sea Breezes, the evocative The Casket and the hit single Leave It. The sessions also spawned a non-album single; DANCE THE DO (which featured Vivian Stanshall).

McGEAR was charming, eccentric and unique in equal measure and was one of the great unsung albums of its time. Now acclaimed, but unavailable on CD for over twenty years, this long awaited expanded three disc edition reissue of McGEAR.
