Beatles fans will hear echoes of his father’s work in McCartney’s song, with soaring, psychedelic vocals sitting on top of sparkling guitars and strings.

The single is an ode to the leafy north London neighbourhood close to his father’s home, which is famous for offering panoramic views of the city, as celebrated on the single’s cover.

It has long been a magnet for stars of stage and cinema, particularly during the 1990s with the so-called “Primrose Hill set”.
