Memory Almost Full is the 14th solo studio album by Paul McCartney, released in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2007 and in the United States a day later. The album was the first release on Starbucks' Hear Music label. It was produced by David Kahne and recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Henson Recording Studios, AIR Studios, Hog Hill Mill Studios and RAK Studios between October 2003 and February 2007.[1]

The grammy-nominated album has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and has been certified gold by the RIAA for shipments of over 500,000 copies just in the United States.[2] Shortly after the release of the album, it was reported that McCartney was aiming to sign a long term deal with Starbucks due to the success that Memory Almost Full had enjoyed, but with the demise of Hear Music in July 2008, McCartney had to seek another deal, with One Little Indian Records.[3]

A CD/DVD deluxe edition was released on 6 November 2007.

[edit] History

In the website constructed for the album, McCartney stated: "I actually started this album, Memory Almost Full, before my last album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, released September 2005. (...) When I was just finishing up everything concerned with Chaos and had just got the Grammy nominations (2006) I realised I had this album to go back to and finish off. So I got it out to listen to it again, wondering if I would enjoy it, but actually I really loved it. All I did at first was just listen to a couple of things and then I began to think, 'OK, I like that track – now, what is wrong with it?' And it might be something like a drum sound, so then I would re-drum and see where we would get to. (...) In places it's a very personal record and a lot of it is retrospective, drawing from memory, like memories from being a kid, from Liverpool and from summers gone. The album is evocative, emotional, rocking, but I can't really sum it up in one sentence".[4]

Memory Almost Full is an anagram of "for my soulmate LLM" (the initials of Linda Louise McCartney). When asked if this was intentional, McCartney replied; "Some things are best left a mystery".[5] In an interview with Pitchfork Media, McCartney clarified, "I must say, someone told me [there is an anagram], and I think it's a complete mystery, because it's so complete. There does appear to be an anagram in the title. And it's a mystery. It was not intentional."[6] The album's title was actually inspired by a message that came up on his mobile phone. He thought the phrase summed up modern life.[7]

In June 2007, McCartney revealed that "See Your Sunshine" "is pretty much an out-and-out love song for Heather. A lot of the album was done before, during and after our separation. I didn't go back and take out any songs to do with her."[8]

"Mr. Bellamy", the sixth track on the album, was found as an anagram of "Mills betray me" and fans on Internet forums say it is about his divorce.[9] McCartney invited Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke to play piano on the track, but he declined. The press ran articles claiming that Yorke had "snubbed" McCartney, but Yorke later revealed that he "really liked the song" but felt he would be unable to perform to the required standard.[10]

"Gratitude" is reportedly a song about the divorce between Heather Mills and McCartney.

A significant proportion of the CD release of Memory Almost Full incorporated a cover insert whose top-right corner was intentionally folded down to the center of the insert, leaving the CD tray visible. The folded-down white corner covers up the corner of the armchair image, but has the artist and album names printed so that the text is complete despite the fold. Upon opening and flattening out the cover insert, the armchair is complete, but the portion of the text which is printed on the folded-down corner is not printed on the front of the cover, leaving the text incomplete. This was the first time such an artistic intervention occurred within a standard jewel-case, and at first glance had the possibility of being viewed as a mis-manufactured copy.

As part of a promotion with British newspaper the Mail On Sunday, McCartney gave away the standard version of the CD in a unique slip-case with the 18 May 2008 edition.[11]

Memory Almost Full received positive reaction. At Metacritic, the album earned an average score of 69 based on 23 reviews from critics, which indicates "Generally favorable reviews". Many maintained the album had a very Wings-esque sound, as 1997's Flaming Pie was a Beatles-inspired project.[citation needed] Evan Serpick of Rolling Stone magazine also compared the medley of five songs in the second part of the album to the famous song suite in The Beatles' Abbey Road.[24] This album was ranked number 22 on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.[25]

In the United States, Memory Almost Full debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 with about 161,000 copies sold, making it McCartney's highest-charting album there since 1997's Flaming Pie.[26] It was ranked at #90 on the top-100 of the Billboard Year-end chart, becoming his first non-compilation album which entered there since 1983. While it was announced that copies of the album sold in the Starbucks coffee shops in the U.K. would not be counted by the Official UK Charts, because they are not registered in the copies counting system, Memory Almost Full still managed to hit #5 on the UK Album Charts.[27] The album reportedly sold 105,000 copies in his homeland until it was given away with The Mail on Sunday for free.[28]

On 15 May 2007 the album (in both standard and deluxe editions) was made available for pre-order from the iTunes Store, with the single "Ever Present Past" being made available for immediate download.

[edit] Singles

The first United States single, "Ever Present Past", made its radio debut on 20 April 2007.[31] Even without a music video, reception was strong, and it became McCartney's first song since 2001's "Freedom" to climb the Billboard charts, debuting at number 10 in the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart the week ending 6 June 2007. The lead single for the rest of the world is "Dance Tonight", released on McCartney's 65th birthday in the United Kingdom, 18 June 2007. The music video for the song was directed by Michel Gondry and features Natalie Portman and Mackenzie Crook.[32] The video premiered exclusively on YouTube on 23 May 2007. "Dance Tonight" is also featured in an iPod + iTunes commercial with McCartney playing mandolin. The third single, "Nod Your Head", was released as a free download single on 28 August 2007 via the iTunes Store. It was packaged with a music video for the song.
