Two CDs + NTSC/Region 0 DVD. Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a newly remastered and expanded edition of the album, McGear by Mike McGear. Features 21 bonus tracks, including 13 previously unreleased outtakes and tracks alongside singles appearing on CD for the first time. The set also includes a DVD featuring Mike (McGear) McCartney reminiscing at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, an interview with Mike at the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool and the 1974 promotional film for the single 'Leave It'. 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).
