Album Notes & Community Reviews

A highly polarizing, ska-inflected A-side that showcases Paul McCartney's penchant for narrative-driven, upbeat styling. The B-side starkly contrasts this with George Harrison's deeply melancholic rock composition, notably featuring an uncredited, soaring lead guitar solo from Eric Clapton.
