Global InformationOobu Joobu information
Oobu Joobu was a radio show created, directed and presented by Paul McCartney. It was described by McCartney as "wide-screen radio",[1] and consisted of McCartney hosting a mix of various demos, live tracks, outtakes, rehearsals, and other unreleased material from his solo career, plus tracks by other artists that served as inspiration for McCartney, all wrapped around behind-the-scenes stories and 'chat'. The program aired in 1995 on the American radio network Westwood One, running for 15 episodes broadcast between May and September. The show's name was inspired by a BBC production of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Cocu.
Because the show's material included many unreleased recordings of Paul McCartney, virtually all of the programs have been bootlegged. As well, McCartney has released abridged highlights of a few shows on disc, and currently, The Beatles Channel on Sirius XM often plays Oobu Joobu clips.
