London
(ANI):
Sir
Paul
McCartney
has
given
a
rude
shock
to
former
music
bosses
at
EMI
by
deciding
to
release
his
back
catalogue
through
an
independent
record
label.
The
former
Beatle
was
previously
under
a
contract
to
release
post-Beatles
material
through
EMI
Group,
but
ended
his
relationship
with
the
company
in
2008.
And
now
he
has
given
the
rights
of
about
two-dozen
albums
to
Concord
Music
Group.
Concord
bosses
are
now
planning
to
re-release
McCartney's
solo
work
alongwith
material
recorded
with
his
band
Wings.
Wings
album
Band
On
The
Run
(1973)
will
reportedly
be
the
first
to
hit
the
stores
in
August
this
year.
"Since
the
release
of
Memory
Almost
Full
in
2007
I've
had
a
good
working
relationship
with
Concord
and
enjoyed
our
mutual
love
of
music," the
Daily
Star
quoted
McCartney,
as
saying
in
a
statement.
