1971-1-2 PART 1: ANOTHER DAY / OH WOMAN OH WHY

ANOTHER DAY / OH WOMAN, OH WHY was Paul McCa-rtney’s first solo single release after the Beatles split. Both songs were eventually recorded in New York in November 1970. However, before he could begin the sessions, he first had to find some suitable musicians, so, at the beginning of that month, he held auditions for both a guitarist and a drum-mer. These were won by session guitarist David Spinozza and Denny Seiwell respectively (the latter also going on to become the first drummer with Wings).

The decision to credit the songwriting for Another Day to ‘Mr. & Mrs. McCartney’ was to result in considerable legal head-aches for Paul. Only a few years before, the company ATV Music had paid several million pounds to acquire the North-ern Songs publishing company, which not only held the rights to the Beatles song catalogue, but also to any new compo-sitions by Paul McCartney or John Lennon. The director of ATV Music, Lew Grade, viewed this co-authorship credit from Linda as an attempt on the part of the McCartneys to cheat ATV Music out of 50% of the royalties which would have been due to Linda. Later on, a settlement was negotiated, in which Paul agreed to film a TV special for ATV (called ‘James Paul McCartney’).

This first single was conceived as an autonomous release and unrelated to the album RAM, which was released some three months later (indeed neither track appears on the album). This single was clearly not planned as a teaser for any forthcoming LP. In fact, it would be a further seven years before Another Day appeared on an album, when it was included on Wings Greatest in 1978. It took even longer for Oh Woman, Oh Why: it was finally included as a bonus track on the 1987 CD issue of Wings Wild Life.

ANOTHER DAY / OH WOMAN, OH WHY was released in countless countries around the globe. For this reason, this first chapter of the discography is probably the most extensive section of the entire discography.

While the single was released in a black Apple die-cut sleeve in the United Kingdom and the United States, in most Euro-pean countries, it came out in a wide variety of picture sleeves. The various pressings from countries such as Denmark, Ire-land, Lebanon and New Zealand have at least one thing in common. They have basically the same matrix number as the UK issue, all of them bearing the wording ‘PECKO’ on the A-side and ‘FP’ on the B-side. It is therefore quite likely that the stampers for the pressings were supplied to these countries by the British manufacturers. There is, however, no conclusive proof of this assumption.

Nach der Trennung der Beatles war ANOTHER DAY / OH . WOMAN, OH WHY die erste Solo-Single von Paul McCart-ney. Beide Songs wurden im November 1970 in New York aufgenommen. Für die Aufnahmen musste Paul jedoch zuerst geeignete Musiker finden, so dass Anfang November 1970 je eine Audition für den Schlagzeuger und eine für die Gitarristen stattfand. Für den Gitarren-Part wurde der Session-Musiker David Spinozza ausgesucht, während am Schlagzeug Denny Seiwell überzeugen konnte. Letzterer hinterließ einen derart positiven Eindruck, so dass er später auch zur Ur-Besetzung der „Wings“ gehörte.

Beim Song Another Day wurden als Songschreiber „Mr. & Mrs. McCartney“ angegeben, was dem Ex-Beatle Ärger in Form eines längeren Rechtsstreits einbrachte. Die Firma ATV Music hatte erst wenige Jahre zuvor ein paar Millionen Pfund für den Kauf der Firma Northern Songs bezahlt, die bekannt-lich die Rechte am Beatles-Songkatalog besitzt, aber auch Rechteinhaber neuer Kompositionen von Paul McCartney und John Lennon war. Lew Grade, Präsident von ATV Music, sah in Lindas Co-Autorenschaft nur als Versuch der McCart-neys, ATV Music um Tantiemen zu bringen, die Linda zu 50% zugestanden hätten. Im späteren Verlauf einigte man sich und Paul willigte ein, für ATV ein Fernseh-Special („James Paul McCartney“) zu drehen.

Es handelt sich bei der Single Another Day um eine vorge-zogene, eigenständige Veröffentlichung. Das „RAM“-Album wurde erst drei Monate später veröffentlicht, wobei sich keiner der beiden Songs hierauf wiederfand. Insofern kann man sicher nicht von einer klassischen “Vorabsingle” des Albums sprechen. Es dauerte weitere sieben Jahre, bis Another Day . zum ersten mal regulär auf einem Album veröffentlicht wurde. So ist der Titel auf dem „Wings Greatest“ Album aus dem Jahr 1978 enthalten. Bei Oh Woman, Oh Why dauerte es sogar noch um einiges länger. Diesen Song gab es erstmals als Bonus-Track auf der englischen CD-Veröffentlichung des Albums „Wings Wild Life“ aus dem Jahr 1987.

Die Single ANOTHER DAY / OH WOMAN, OH WHY wurde rund um den Erdball in unzähligen Ländern veröffentlicht. Ins-gesamt dürfte dieses Kapitel der Diskographie auch das mit Abstand umfangreichste des ganzen Projekts sein.

Während die Single in England und den USA nur in einem schwarzen Apple-Lochcover veröffentlicht wurde, erschien sie in vielen europäischen Ländern in mitunter sehr stark vari-ierenden Bildcovern. Die Pressungen aus diversen Ländern wie Dänemark, Irland, dem Libanon und aus Neuseeland fallen dadurch auf, dass sie quasi die gleiche Matrixnummer wie die UK Veröffentlichung haben; jeweils mit dem Schriftzug „PECKO“ auf der A-Seite und „FP“ auf der B-Seite. Insofern liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass diese Länder die entspre-chenden Matrizen zur Herstellung der Singles aus England bekommen haben.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON MATRIX NUM-BERS (UK PRESSINGS)The following system was used to display the UK pressings of the single Another Day / Oh Woman Oh Why :

The singles are first of all displayed in the order: 1. closed centre, 2. push-out centre and 3. open centre. Each of these is ordered according to the following variations a) without the wording ‘Cop-yright also claimed by Maclen (Music) Ltd.’ and b) with the word-ing ‘Copyright also claimed by Maclen (Music) Ltd.’. Pictured first are copies with a star (*), followed by copies without it.

Basing the list on matrix numbers would result in a completely differ-ent order. It would definitely be worthwhile doing further research into additional pressings, to determine the possible release sequence of the UK pressings.

ZUSÄTZLICHE ANMERKUNGEN ZU DENMATRIXNUMMERN (UK PRESSUNGEN)Folgendes System wurde zur Darstellung der englischen Pressun-gen der Single Another Day / Oh Woman Oh Why gewählt:

1. “closed centre”, 2. “push-out centre” und 3. “open centre”. Jeweils in den Varianten a) ohne den Aufdruck „Copyright also claimed by Maclen (Music) Ltd.“ und b) mit dem Aufdruck „Copy-right also claimed by Maclen (Music) Ltd.“. Jeweils zuerst dar-gestellt mit dem „Stern“ (*), gefolgt von der Variante ohne den „Stern“ (*).

Sofern man die Matrixnummern der einzelnen Pressungen betrachtet, würde sich anhand dieser ein gänzlich anderes Bild der Reihenfolge ergeben. Es wäre sicherlich sehr lohnend, mit weiteren Exemplaren dieser Single eine mögliche zeitliche Abfolge der einzelnen Veröffent-lichungen bzw. Pressungen sichtbar werden zu lassen.

KOMMENTAR:Sehr seltene englische Demo-Pres-sung, die scheinbar nur mit dem “push-out centre” erhältlich ist. Auf beiden Labelseiten findet man den Aufdruck „19.2.71“, welches das offizielle Veröffentlichungsdatum der Single war.

COMMENT:Very rare pressing from Norway, which has the same matrix number, exactly the same label typeset (except for the catalogue number) and the same type of push-out centre as the Swedish pressing [1971-1/12a].

KOMMENTAR:Sehr seltene Pressung aus Norwegen mit der gleichen Matrixnummer, exakt dem gleichen Aufdruck auf beiden Labeln (ausgenom-men der Katalognummer) und der gleichen Form des “push-out centre” wie bei der Veröffentlichung aus Schwe-den [1971-1/12a].

COMMENT:This pressing has both a different matrix number and a different style of push-out centre to [1971-1/12a]. ‘Joint interest claimed by McCartney Music Inc.’ is only on the A-side label, while neither side contains the wording ‘Copy-right also claimed by MacLen (Music) Ltd.’. Since the matrix numbers end in ‘A 2’ and ‘B 2’ this might be the second pressing of this single.

KOMMENTAR:Diese Pressung hat eine andere Matrixnummer und auch eine andere Form des “push-out centre” als [1971-1/12a]. Auf dem Label der A-Seite befindet sich nur der Aufdruck „Joint interest claimed by McCartney Music Inc.“, während der zusätzliche Aufdruck „Copyright also claimed by MacLen (Music) Ltd.“ auf beiden Seiten fehlt. Basierend auf den Endungen der Matrix-nummern („A 2“ / „B 2“) könnte es sich hierbei um die zweite Pres-sung dieser Single handeln.

COMMENT:Release from Sweden with the wording ‘Copyright also claimed by MacLen (Music) Ltd.’ on both sides and ‘Joint interest claimed by McCartney Music Inc.’ on the A-side label only. The last part of each matrix number (‘A 1’ / ‘B 1’) may indicate this to be the first pressing of the single. See also the Norwegian issue [1971-1/13a].

KOMMENTAR:Veröffentlichung aus Schweden mit dem Labelaufdruck „Copyright also claimed by MacLen (Music) Ltd.“ auf beiden Labelseiten und „Joint interest claimed by McCart-ney Music Inc.“ nur auf dem Label der A-Seite. Basierend auf den Endungen der Matrixnum-mern („A 1“ / „B 1“) könnte es sich hierbei um die erste Pressung dieser Single handeln. Vergleiche auch mit der Veröffentlichung aus Norwegen [1971-1/13a].

COMMENT:Pressed in the Riga plant (today Latvia). This is the same label variation as [1971-3/21.17a], but the colour of the label is very light yellow and the font colour is black. The EP is housed in a ‘fake’ picture sleeve which was never released officially. Furthermore it can be seen from the wording at the back of the sleeve that it should be made at the Aprelevka (Moscow) record plant. Even though it is not an official sleeve, it is still very hard to find.

KOMMENTAR:Schallplatten-Presswerk „Riga plant“ (heute Lettland). Hierbei handelt es sich um die gleiche Label-Variante wie [1971-3/21.17a], jedoch ist die Farbe des Labels leicht gelblich und die Schriftfarbe ist schwarz. Die EP hat ein „gefälschtes“ Bildcover, das offiziell nie veröffentlicht wurde. Zudem gibt das Cover das Press-werk „Aprelevka plant“ (Moskau) als Produktionsstätte an. Auch wenn es sich hierbei nicht um ein offizielles Cover handet, ist es gleichwohl sehr schwer zu finden.
