CD Liner notes

OOBU JOOBU

WIDE SCREEN RADIO

"It's like being a fly on the wall in the private life of Paul McCartney. People never hear the makings of final product, only the final product. On "Oobu Joobu", you hear it as he was making it."

- Eddy Pumer, London-based musician-producer

The summer of 1995 saw the debut of Paul McCartney's critically acclaimed radio series, Oobu Joobu, which featured :

Unreleased songs from Paul's own private collection
Rehearsal outtakes from past tours
Never before heard McCartney recordings
Visits to Rude Studios - Paul's home studio
Favourite selections from Paul's personal juke box
Chats with guest artists including Stevie Wonder and Brian Wilson

And many, many more rarities...

The fascinating glimpse into the ex-Beatle's musical world, the radio series, whose name was inspired by a BBC production of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Cocu that McCartney heard some 30 years ago on the radio - was a 20-year labour of love, with material gathered from over 250 hours of rare recordings from Paul's personal archives. The enclosed program is one of Paul's favourite shows from the series highlighting his favourite cause - The Environment.

The series, directed by Paul McCartney and produced by London-based musician-producer Eddy Pumer, gave the listeners a relaxing hour of summer radio each week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and offered a little something for everyone: comedy, rarities, cooking tips, concerts, interviews and special guest appearances, all combined with a career that spans more than 30 years, making Oobu Joobu the radio event of 1995, and beyond.

"It's time that we became the young child.
To build a better kind of future. What do you Think ?"
- Paul McCartney
