Mike McGear is actually Paul McCartney's brother; he changed his name in the mid-'60s shortly after the Beatles become famous, not wishing to be perceived as riding Paul's coattails. He was a member of the Scaffold, who recorded some fairly successful comedy rock releases in the late '60s (their "Thank U Very Much" and "Lily Pink" singles were big British hits)

While McGear's album may be strongly reminiscent of Paul McCartney in important respects - the carefully crafted pop/rock arrangements and, of course, the vocals - no one's going to confuse it with Paul himself; the material, with a much more pronounced, droll, British satiric bent than McCartney's, simply isn't that strong.

Mike McGear is a stagename for Mike McCartney, Paul's younger brother, who didn't want to be known solely for his family name. This was no nepotistic one-off project: McGear had already acheived some degree of success in the . with a comedic musical group called Scaffold. He also had already released a solo album, Woman, though he was admittedly quite obscure in the . With this album, Paul really went all-out to help his brother with a mainstream pop/rock album. The two brothers co-wrote 7 of the 10 tracks, with Paul contributing two of his own compositions
