Historical Context

On 17 April 1970 Paul McCartney issued his self-recorded debut album McCartney, just weeks after John Lennon’s September 1969 exit sparked the Beatles’ breakup. Apple Records released it despite scheduling clashes with Let It Be, and the record sold over one million copies in the U.S. by 15 May, topping the Billboard chart for three weeks.
