Listen to Paul McCartney ‘Cold Cuts’, An Abandoned Album of Unreleased Material

In 1974, Paul McCartney started on a double album project called Hot Hits and Cold Cuts that would consist of one record of Wings hits and singles, and a second record of unreleased outtakes and b-sides from the years prior. Instead, the project was scrapped and a Wings Greatest Hits album was released instead in 1978. The project would be picked up and discarded a few more times over the years with focus on the unreleased material and b-sides, which would remain titled Cold Cuts. Several bootlegs of the album would appear over time and Paul would eventually abandon the project. While the album isn’t perfect, it does have a handful of really good songs. One of the gems is ‘Mama’s Little Girl’, which eventually saw the light of day as a b-side off a single Paul released in 1990 called ‘Put it There’.
