-------------------------------------------------------------- PAUL McCARTNEY - COMING UP. Released as a single on April 11th 1980 w COMING UP (LIVE)/ LUNCHBOX/ ODD SOX as B side. -------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva It seems that Paul wrote this song in the late 70's and performed it with Wings on 1969, but he didn't released it until his "solo" album, McCARTNEY II (1980), when he di it as a single with the live version, recorded with Wings during a concert in Glasgow in 1979 , as B side. DJs began playing the live version and it was that which hit number one. Paul & Linda are the only people in the video and play all the band members roles. This studio version was recorded by Paul, with no other musicians, apart from Linda. (So maybe he already had it in mind, as a single for his next album: McCARTNEY II.
