We return with the "Iconic Song Series" for E253!
And we were very pleased to have Allan Kozinn (Co-Author "The McCartney Legacy" join us again for this episode where we opted to tackle 'The Back Seat Of My Car'.
Recording sessions, musical structure and lyrical analysis are all a part of this episode!
Allan also gives us an update of where Volume 2 of the McCartney Legacy is at.
All three of us reckon this ranks among Paul's finest hour, musically. What say you? Let us know!

I think there is a universal desire among Paul fans for Back To The Egg and London Town boxes. Really great discussion on Back Seat of My Car. Kudos to you guys. Thanks!!!

Great conversation. I think that part of Paul's genius is his inate ability to write in an ambigous way both to himself & also to his audiance. Thanks. GAZ (Melbourne/Australia)

Allan Kozinn is easily one of my most favorite Beatles scholars. He gave outstanding analysis here. I was always impressed with the song without knowing what in the hell because I'm autistic.

Another insightful and comfortably paced talk with Allan. Also, was listening to the BOTR album, got to track 2 and was somehow surprised when the opening seconds of "Jet" weren't the 2 Legs theme. :)

Thanks for this awesome discussion and diversion from today's life. Amazing now to read all the negative remarks about RAM/Back seat from magazines & books in the 70's. Destroyed, eviscerated and disparaged, a small sample below from Nicholas Schaffner's superb "The Beatles forever 1978" "Ram remains something of a puzzle to Beatles people. At the time of its May 1971 release, it was harshly condemned by critics like Rolling Stone writer John Landau who called it - THE NADIR IN THE DECOMPOSITION OF SIXTIES ROCK THUS FAR - INCREDIBLY INCONSEQUENTIAL - MONUMENTALLY IRRELEVANT - Still, to these ears RAM definitely has its moments (author mentions Uncle Albert & Eat at home), Back seat of my car, an elaborate production number almost worthy of Brian Wilsons wet dreams" however, Schaffner sums up RAM "The problem is these remain snatches, none of which hang together to make for anything memorable, RAM brings to mind a hollow Choclate egg. its Tasty, if just this side of sickly sweet, yet crumbles when one tries to sink one's teeth into it"

Great video. Speaking of Norwegian, another topic. I listened to "Back to the egg", not being too familiar with it. At approx. 1:00 - "And also try for a moment to see this in light of the new testament."

Andy mentions Tony Visconti being upset for not getting a production credit for BOTR. I have some sympathy with Paul here because it's very clear from Visconti's own account that he was presented with completed and fully recorded arrangements, for which Paul wanted an overlay (as it were) of orchestral textures here and there, and that Paul was also the originator in some detail of those orchestrations, in almost all cases, prescribing pretty much what he wanted to hear and exactly where he wanted to hear it. IIRC only in the case of Picasso's Last Words was Visconti given freedom to write his own thing, within a certain idiom. So - Production? No. Arrangement? Not really. Orchestration? Well, yes, but mostly working to specifications. So "special thanks to Tony Visconti" may not be generous, but I can see an argument for saying that it was appropriate.

No, I believe that Paul told McCracken note by note. Here we have the greatest composer of all time, the musical backbone and the driving force of The Beatles, and you don't think he's able to come up with that? What abaout the piccola trumpet part of Penny Lane? Paul figured it out when that trumpet player was in the studio. And what about the guitar solo on Taxman? And what about Picassos last words? It just comes out of him. This is just three examples in a never ending river from Paul McCartney.

Just listened. Excellent stuff! You might enjoy checking out a Linda McCartney-approved release of a cover of Back Seat of My Car that my former band -- Travel by Sea -- did back in... I don't remember 2010 or so?? I played on it, mixed, and produced the track. It was on an entire cover album called RAM On LA -- individual bands covering one song each to make up the album. All proceeds went to land mine victims -- a cause dear to Linda's heart. I found the track that someone posted here on KZfaq (I think they may have posted the full album) -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a81ylMp6mrerkWg.htmlsi=2h5cze28p0vfooft

This was perhaps my favorite of all 253 of your shows. Loved the song before, but love it more now. (Tom, I beg of you: Get a new microphone. You have a lot of good points that get lost because your voice is barely audible.)
