| abstract | - "Teddy Boy" is a song by Paul McCartney and was first released on his first solo album McCartney, released in April 1970 after The Beatles disbanded. It was written by McCartney and originally recorded during the sessions for what became the Beatles' Let It Be album (1970). Several versions exist, all of which are acoustic, some of which included electric guitar or improvised harmony vocals. The Beatles recorded the song a number of times in January 1969, at their Apple Studios in London. A composite version made of two of these recordings was released in 1996 on the Anthology 3 album. According to Paul McCartney in the documentary Wingspan, McCartney wrote this for the Beatles' Let It Be sessions, but due to tension in the Beatles at the time nobody had the patience to work with the song, so Paul worked on it alone and released a rough demo on Anthology 3, and a final version appeared on his solo album McCartney.
