Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a newly remastered and expanded box set edition of the album, ‘McGear’, the second solo album by Mike McGear, a more “serious” record than his work with the Liverpool satirical trio Scaffold. Recorded at Strawberry studios in Stockport, (the musical home of the band 10cc), the album was produced by his brother Paul McCartney (who also played on the album and co-wrote most of the material) and features members of Wings.
‘McGear’ is charming, eccentric and unique and was one of the great unsung albums of its time. This expanded three disc edition has an additional 21 bonus tracks, including 13 previously unreleased out-takes 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’.
