De: Allan Kozinn, Adrian Sinclair

Narrado por: Simon Vance

In this first of a groundbreaking multivolume set, THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL 1: 1969-73 captures the life of Paul McCartney in the years immediately following the dissolution of the Beatles, a period in which McCartney recreated himself as both a man and a musician. Informed by hundreds of interviews, extensive ground up research, and thousands of never-before-seen documents THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL 1 is an in depth, revealing exploration of McCartney’s creative and personal lives beyond the Beatles.

When Paul McCartney issued a press release in April 1970 announcing that the world’s most beloved band, the Beatles, had broken up no one could have predicted that McCartney himself would go on to have one of the most successful solo careers in music history. Yet in the years after the Fab Four disbanded, Paul McCartney became a legend in his own right. Now journalist and world-renowned Beatles’ historian Allan Kozinn and award-winning documentarian Adrian Sinclair chronicle in technicolor McCartney’s pivotal years from 1969 to 1973, as he recreated himself in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles breakup – a period when, newly married and with a growing family, he conquered depression and self-doubt, formed a new band, Wings, and recorded five epochal albums culminating in the triumphant smash, Band on the Run.

Part 1 of a multivolume set, THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL. 1 documents a pivotal moment in the life of a man whose legacy grows increasingly more relevant as his influence on music and pop culture remains as relevant as ever. It is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartney’s creative life beyond the Beatles, ever undertaken.

Best McCartney book so far!!

The McCartney Legacy, Book I was overly taxing to listen to.

I loved the story and characters of The McCartney Legacy. This very big book was set up with each recording session written up in a chart in the main body of the text. There were many, many recordings, and reading about them made it hard for me to get through the book. I would have preferred that the same information been displayed in a supplement at the back of the book. All of the information was completely relevant. I did enjoy the book a lot. I will most certainly purchase the remaining texts in the series. The book was extremely ambitious! The story seemed absolutely complete and was read superbly by the reader.

Great

Well researched! Best biography on Macca! Wings very underrated. Can't wait until Vol 2!

The making of the band the two that didn’t go to Nigeria Legos

Well, done, great detail, and thinking back I remember hearing just about everything, but it was put into details missing pieces or brought to life a better understanding.
