My Carnival by Paul McCartney – **

First released: 1985

This has never been my favorite Paul song as it is entirely too repetitious, but it achieved some sort of mystique about it, when it was recorded in New Orleans in 1975. It was finally released 10 years later after being considered for the aborted "Cold Cuts" album, as the b-side of "Spies Like Us". Later, it was added to the "Venus and Mars" CD as a bonus track. "Spies Like Us" also had a 12" version, which included extended remixes of this song. Those have not been released to CD to date.
