C Moon by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1972

Paul claims that this was supposed to be the opposite of “L7” or square. Whatever. In any case, it’s sort a strange reggae tune that eluded inclusion on an album for years, finally appearing on "All the Best" in 1987, then on the 1993 UK CD reissued of "Red Rose Speedway" and later still on 2001’s "Wingspan". It was originally the b-side of the superior "Hi Hi Hi". Different live versions appear on the b-side of the "All My Trials" CD single, 2002's "Back in the US" and on the "Amoeba’s Secret" 12” and CD from 2007.
