 Paul McCartney - McCartney
This was largely because Paul had recorded most of it on a Studer 4-track tape recorder at his Scottish retreat in late 1969, overdubbing all the instruments himself; so only his family and a handful of engineers needed be sworn to secrecy.
But Paul, apparently not content to let the music speak for itself, packaged his record with a somewhat cloying collection of snapshots of Linda, the kids, the dog, the cat, and Paul himself: romping in a bathing suit, performing household chores like a real human being -- even picking his nose.
Paul is so charming a melodist (and singer) that even though many of the songs are no more than snatches, fragments, ditties, they get across, like "Her Majesty" extended to two minutes.

McCartney was the first of the four to be given somewhat of a 'solo' spotlight, the single Yesterday featuring a backing orchestra and none of the other members of the band; this song would eventually become one of the most covered compositions in popular music.
