Howie Casey: Last News

If those artists being offered the chance to make music in Paul McCartney’s childhood home want some insight into his creative process, maybe they should group together and bid for the demo version of the song he wrote called ‘Attention’ which is up for auction.Though given it’s expected to go for £10,000, maybe not. It’s probably more for the sort of Beatles fan who is sufficiently hardcore that they still need additional insight into McCartney’s creative process despite watching all 468 minutes of the ‘Get Back’ documentary.The writing of ‘Attention’ came somewhat later in McCartney’s career than the musical collaborations with John Lennon that occurred at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool – and, indeed, the ‘Let It Be’ sessions featured in ‘Get Back’.

Paul McCartney demo on cassette tape is set to be auctioned off for £10,000.The track which runs for four minutes and two seconds, is a demo version of the former Beatle‘s song ‘Attention’, which featured on Ringo Starr‘s 1981 album ‘Stop And Smell The Roses’.It was given to saxophonist Howie Casey, to reference ahead of the recording session for the record. Casey’s wife Sheila also performed backing vocals on the finished version of the song, alongside Linda McCartney.
