Untitled

Amoeba's Secret is an EP by Paul McCartney recorded during a secret performance at Amoeba Music on June 27, 2007. The EP was released in November 2007 in a limited vinyl edition, and in January 2009 on CD and download formats.

The EP reached 119 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, despite relatively little promotion. The low-resolution album art is intentional, as to make the EP resemble a bootleg recording. The back of the sleeve features an incompleted wordsearch whose letters contain hidden details of the recording.

Nominations

Two tracks from this EP were nominated for Grammy Awards in 2008 for the 51st Grammy Awards on February 8 2009: "That Was Me" for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and "I Saw Her Standing There" for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance. Neither song won, and both lost to John Mayer tracks ("Say" and "Gravity" respectively). McCartney performed "I Saw Her Standing There" with Dave Grohl on drums during the ceremony.

Reception

"Sadly, this is just a taste of the full 20-song set, but it's a good one, containing two songs from Memory (the best being "That Was Me," sounding randy and funny in a way it wasn't on LP), a giddy run through "C Moon," and an energetic closer of "I Saw Her Standing There." It's a little of everything from Sir Paul, all of it good, all enough to make you wish you were there, or at least that the whole thing came out on CD."
