Paul McCartney & Wings - Same Time Next Year (1978 Demo)

Rak Studios, 5th May 1978. Paul McCartney recorded this song with Laurence Juber making his first appearance as a member of Wings; it was co-produced by Paul and Chris Thomas. The following day it was completed at Abbey Road Studios in London with a 68-piece string section, in an arrangement by Paul and Fiachra Trench. The song was recorded as the title track for the film "Same Time Next Year" in 1978, a movie that starred Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn. The number was rejected in favour of "The Last Time I Felt Like This" by Marvin Hamlisch, because it was said that Paul's number 'gave away too much of the plot'. Paul's "Same Time Next Year" was eventually issued on 5th February 1990 as a bonus track on the CD and 12" vinyl singles of "Put It There" and also released on Disc 2 of the Japanese release of "Flowers In The Dirt".
