B43939 – Paul McCartney What’s Happened To Us?…. 1977 MPL Promotional Press Kit (UK)

Widley considered as the rarest of all Paul McCartney related press kits the ‘what’s happened to us?….’ press kit was limited a run to only 1000 copies. In 1977 it was sent to people in the music industry and clients that dealt with MPL to let them know that McCartney Productions Limited had moved from 12 – 13 Greek Street, London to 1 Soho Square, London. The press kit consists of a blue glossy folder with a one page insert that is attached to the folder (and a rare MPL ‘We’ve moved’ promotional 7-inch single.

The MPL ‘We’ve moved’ promotional 7-inch sampler single was produced in extremely limited quantities and it carries the catalogue number ‘MPL 1’, it has 1-G stampers. Artists represented on the single are Wings, Doris Day, Peggy Lee, Julius LaRosa, Nancy Wilson, The Hi Los, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, McGuire Sisters, Buddy Holly, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Gene Vincent, Nat King Cole, Harry James, Art Tatum, Buddy Clark, Guy Lambardo, Bobby Darin, Les Brown, Bing Crosby, Ivory Joe Hunter, Kate Robbins, Louis Armstrong, Frankie Laine, Linda Ronstadt and Peggy Lee.

The Paul McCartney & Wings related songs on the sampler are Let Em In, Silly Love Songs, My Love, Live And Let Die, Tragedy, Jet, Band On The Run and Uncle Albert.

To date this is only the third example of the press kit that we have had.

The original white paper sleeve has been replaced. The vinyl does not appear to have ever been on a deck, it is conservatively graded in very good plus condition.

The folder measures 21cm x 29.5cm (8.25 inches x 11.7 inches) There is some creasing on the folder. The condition is very good.
