  1. McCartney does that a lot, actually, most obviously on the McCartney and McCartney II albums. Tug Of War, Flaming Pie, Memory Almost Full, Electric Arguments and Chaos And Creation In The Backyard for the most part all qualify as 'one man band' projects. Aside from some rhythm guitar from Denny Laine and a little keyboards from Linda, Band On The Run is as well (Keith Moon famously praised Paul's drumming on the album.) Ditto for some of the London Town LP after Joe English and Jimmy McCulloch left the band following the 'Fair Carol' sessions (about 2/3rds of London Town was recorded on a yacht in the Caribbean, The Fair Carol)

    Mind you, Paul's first 'one man band' outings date back to "Martha My Dear" and "Mother Nature's Son" on The White Album, so he was even doing it back in The Beatles (much to Lennon, Harrison and Ringo's annoyance). He famously played drums on "Back In The USSR" and "Dear Prudence" even though it was merely an open secret for many years. But even some of the Wings credited stuff is McCartney on his own, including what is probably my favourite of all his one man band outings...aside from Laurence Juber's spanish guitar overdub, "Goodnight Tonight" is actually all Paul (in spite of the rest of the band appearing in the video):

    ...Then of course, there's the famous video for "Coming Up" where Paul takes the idea of "One man band" to ridiculous extremes :lol: :

    Speaking of drumming, John Lennon once famously said (when asked whether Ringo was the best drummer around) His reply was that he wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles !!

  2. Yes, 100% wine content, 13% Alcohol By Volume. I think you'll find every wine bottle has the alcohol content listed on the label, it tells us how strong it is. It's not a new concept to be honest!
