Album Description

The very rare original recording of Paul McCartney's first solo venture, THE FAMILY WAY Sound Track composed in 1966 and performed by The George Martin Orchestra.

Album Description

The soundtrack to the film 'The Family Way', with music composed by Paul McCartney & performed in part by the George Martin Orchestra. While on a break between 'Revolver' & 'Sgt. Pepper' in late 1966, & with touring now out of the question & John Lennon off making the film 'How I Won the War', Paul McCartney tried his hand at a film score with a lot of help from Beatles arranger/producer George Martin. The rather pleasing result is one of the most elusive souvenirs of the Beatles' high tide in the '60s, long out of print, & commanding sky-high prices on the collectors' circuit. Only 24 minutes in length, the album is a collection of film cues based on a single McCartney tune, 'Love in the Open Air'. XXI-21 Records.

Customer Reviews:

the actual first solo Beatle project!.......2007-06-14

An interestingly historical work, featuring Paul's original soundtrack music plus newer recordings that expand the scope of the piece. George Martin deserves major credit for translating Paul's ideas into symphonic reality. Quick shipping and quality product!

It Seems To Be..........2004-04-30

Sourced from vinyl. The original 1966 music that is. I've noticed numerous pops, hiss and clipping on the brass throughout the cd and the jumping back and forth from mono to stereo is a hassle. Still, it's nice to have these tracks coupled with the newer versions. Although, I should point out this cd is missing both versions from the original George Martin single and the alternate theme song by the Tudor Minstrels. There's a boot floating around with all the '66 versions in great quality. Search this one out if you're longing to hear these recordings in better quality.

Great to finally have available, but could've been better.......2003-08-27

Although it's great to finally have the complete 1966 Paul McCartney/George Martin score, it's important to note that I feel the producers missed an opportunity to make this CD the definitive issue. Although the newer tracks featuring guitarist Carl Aubut from 1995 & the Quatuor La Flute Enchantee from 1998 sound wonderful, they are nevertheless re-recordings of the McCartney score. What fans want to hear is the original 1966 George Martin Orchestra performed tracks (#1-#13). Unfortunately these tracks, to my ears, seem to come from an inferior tape source. To be fair, the interviews in the CD booklet with McCartney, Martin & Aubut are enjoyable and informative. Most importantly, the music itself is good. My only quibble is with the source of the 1966 recordings. While it's certainly listenable (there are no noticable dropouts, early fades or vinyl pops) at times the solo acoustic guitar just sounds muddy. Some tracks have a bit more hiss than others. The fact that the producers of this CD have opted to use primarily mono masters mixed with an occasional stereo one just doesn't make sense. Original stereo versions of the LP feature every track in stereo. Why did they opt to only use a few for this CD edition? Another minor point is track timings listed on the back cover for the original 1966 recordings are incorrect. So, IMHO, a definitive issue still needs to be done. A single from 'The Family Way' film entitled "Love In The Open Air" is available on the George Martin box set 'Produced by George Martin'. It's sound is very clear & clean, albeit in mono. So...I believe a better tape source is available...somewhere. My own vinyl version sounds better than this CD. It should be noted stereo versions of the original '66 album have appeared on bootleg CD's but even those are rather spotty in quality, utilizing a vinyl source and changing the tracks running order(!). At least the bootleg gives you the music in stereo. The definitive version of this film score would still be the ultra rare stereo LP if you can ever find one and you're willing to spend big bucks. But..until then, this CD will do just fine. It's really quite enjoyable if it's all you have, but it's just a shame that it wasn't done a bit better. Let's hope next time someone who really cares about these important recordings will handle them with the loving care they deserve and really deliver the goods to longtime McCartney fans. Recommended, but could've been better.
