RECORD STORE DAY HONOR
Paul McCartney's McCartney III standout, “Women And Wives” has been named Record Store Day's “Song Of The Year.” The song, which will be released as a limited edition vinyl single on the 15th annual Record Store Day on April 23 and the June 18 RSD Drop, features McCartney's original version on the A-side, backed with previous RSD U.S. Ambassador St. Vincent‘s remix from the McCartney III Imagined album.
In a statement by Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz, “I was driving down a Montana highway one sunny, snowy morning when St. Vincent’s imagined version of 'Women And Wives' came on Sirius Radio. I was stunned by the song’s message of chasing the future. When St. Vincent’s Jeff Beck-like guitar solo arrived at the end, I got goosebumps. This is a classic McCartney song, up there with some of his best. Record Store Day is thrilled that we can celebrate 'Women And Wives' as our Song of the Year with a side-by-side 12-inch record, old school style.”
