Reported Tribute Album Is News To Mccartney Reps
Paul McCartney's publishing company MPL Communications North America and his London spokesman, Geoff Baker, are denying involvement in a McCartney tribute album that Internet reports say is to be released on an undetermined independent label. The reports say the album will have tracks by Brian Wilson,
Foo Fighters, Neil Finn, Matthew Sweet, Ben Folds Five, and others.
"We are not mandating or working on any current Paul McCartney tribute record," says a source at MPL. Baker says he is not aware of the record, adding, "and I don't think Paul is either."
Andy Partridge of XTC, who according to reports had covered "Uncle Albert/Admiral
Halsey" for the set with a guest vocal by John Cleese, denies any involvement in the project.
"This is really annoying," he tells Billboard Online, "because I had about six requests to do this
and I just tore them up. We don't want to get involved in any tribute records."
Partridge added that XTC last week completed its new album, to be titled "Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2)" and released in May on their own Idea label via Cooking Vinyl in the U.K. He describes the set as "a lovely row."
