McCartney II was Paul’s first solo album since the formation of Wings in 1971. While its highly electronic style was certainly innovative, its cozily domestic origins were reminiscent of 1970’s McCartney album. Recorded in the summer of 1979, when the future of Wings remained uncertain, the album was conceived at home on Paul’s farm in Scotland. Released in 1980, the album reached #3 on the Billboard 200 and features the #1 hit, « Coming Up. » Available on 180g vinyl.
