Background

Paul McCartney and his touring band played a secret show at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, California, as part of the promotion for Memory Almost Full on 27 June 2007.[5] The performance was later released in November 2007 as Amoeba's Secret, a limited edition 12" vinyl record, and again in January 2009 on CD.[6] Three tracks from the Amoeba's Secret release were also released as B-sides for the "Ever Present Past" single in November 2007.[4] In 2010, the set was released as Live in Los Angeles, a 12-track CD version given away free with the Daily Mail newspaper. In 2012, an extended version of the Daily Mail CD was released by Paul McCartney's website, adding two additional tracks.[7] The complete Amoeba Gig show, with all 21 songs and remixed by McCartney’s engineer Steve Orchard, was finally released on 12 July 2019 on CD, vinyl, and digital download.[8]
