Inspired by John Lennon's tale of seeing a UFO hover over Manhattan in August 1974, Paul McCartney wrote 'Venus and Mars.' Recounting stories of intergalactic travel, the song drew inspiration from science fiction novels by Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert. youtu.be/P0FIkmJ79Aw?...

@mccartneylegacy.bsky.social I finally finished Vol. 2, and my main takeaway is that the story of Jimmy McCulloch is so sad: so much talent snuffed out too young in a way that’s all too common in the rock game. My other big conclusion is that I wish that the Back to the Egg lineup had lasted longer

Written in the summer of 1974, 'Letting Go' was originally titled "Now that she is mine." As Paul tinkered with the song the refrain was replaced with, “Oh, I feel like letting go,” and the title changed accordingly. From The McCartney Legacy Volume 2 📘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9E...

When The McCartney Legacy Volume 1: 1969-73 was released, a number of readers contacted us as they were unconvinced that Henry McCullough actually played drums on ‘C Moon.’ This press release for Paul McCartney & Wings’ double A side (misspelling Henry’s name) confirms the story.

“‘Jet’ is representative of McCartney’s talent—there’s so much in it you don’t know where to start. There are abrupt changes of melody and pace which make it a very unusual single. A hit, of course.” -Rosemary Horide, Disc I love this quote in Book 2: @Mccartneylegacy.bsky.social #paulmccartney

I know something about research and the hours you have to put in if you want to dig out new or long-forgotten facts – this book is chock-full of them. And it's still eminently readable. Kozinn and Sinclair deserve our thanks.
