Album Notes

Paul's MTV Unplugged session at Limehouse Studios in London aired in January 1991. The performance was released later in the year under the title Unplugged (The Official Bootleg). The show was notable for the TV debut of Paul’s first-ever song  ‘I Lost My Little Girl’, written at the tender age of 14 years old, as well as a cover of Bill Withers' ‘Ain't No Sunshine’, featuring Paul on drums.

I figured that as MTV Unplugged would be screened around the world there was every chance that some bright spark would tape the show and turn it into a bootleg, so we decided to bootleg the show ourselves. We heard the tapes in the car driving back. By the time we got home, we’d decided we’d got an album – albeit one of the fastest I’ve ever made.
