Mike McGear is actually
Paul McCartney's brother; he changed his name in the mid-'60s shortly after
the Beatles become famous, not wishing to be perceived as riding
Paul's coattails. He was a member of
the Scaffold, who recorded some fairly successful comedy rock releases in the late '60s (their "Thank U Very Much" and "Lily Pink" singles were big British hits). In 1974, he recorded a solo album with plenty of help from
Paul, who wrote or co-wrote almost all the songs and sang backup; fellow
Wings Linda McCartney,
Denny Laine, and Jimmy McCullough also play and sing. The album, which unsurprisingly recalled
Wings, attracted some critical notice, but sold poorly. ~ Richie Unterberger
