Paul McCartney Waterspout remix

Post by Appleyard »

One of the best unreleased McCartney tracks and I wanted a mix with elements from all the almost finished versions floating around in bootleg land so I created this last year.
Also, I was getting really impatient waiting for the archive release of London Town!
See what you think. I'm hoping the archive version will sound something like this.

Thanks for your offering!

I was curious how this compared to other copies I had and it looks and sounds pretty much exactly like "Waterspout (Cold Cuts 2nd Mix 1980) (Let 'Em Out-RMW)", FWIW.

Please advise exactly how you put your remix together.

Sure thing!
Here are the 2 versions I used. Both have different elements in the instrumentation that I love but only 1 has those gorgeous backing vocals.
I used Audacity to mix the 2 together with a bit of panning and voila!
Oddly, I have heard the Cold Cuts 2nd mix 1980 (although from a different bootleg) and this should be a more complete mix than that.
Anyway, thanks for your enquiry. Hope this clears it up.

Thanks for the source files!

These solo outtakes will drive you mad. I recently purged a bunch of dups of this stuff from my McCartney collection, A/B'ing along the way... Much more to go.

I always loved this song.
Sometimes it is not understood why such good material is discarded. Anyway.
Thanks for the mix sounds great.

This is great and is now my go to version, so thanks. I 1st heard it back in the early 80s when I had it on a bootleg tape someone made for me. I've always liked the song, dunno why Paul didn't release it. He's released worse. Hearing it reminds me of the house I lived in back then when I was about 13 years old.
