NEW BOOK • Paul McCartney’s Lost Album: The Story Of Cold Cuts

For over a decade, Paul McCartney worked on an elusive project that he never fully realized. Through the wildly popular Wings years of the 1970s and his life-altering moments of the early 1980s, McCartney worked on an album behind the scenes. Hidden from of all the number one hits and smash albums was a collection of songs very few knew about. McCartney is a proficient musician and he was seeking an outlet for his growing list of unreleased music. This book tells the story of all those unreleased songs and the years McCartney spent attempting to assemble the one album still missing today: Cold Cuts.
