Text from interviews with Paul McCartney Text edited by Mark Lewisohn Art direction by Norman Hathaway From the breakup of the Beatles to the folding of Wings, from a business nightmare to a Tokyo jail, this companion to the Wingspan album and TV/video documentary traces ten years in the life of Paul McCartney.
This is an intimate scrapbook charting how the band grew and became one of the biggest-selling acts of the 70s. At the same time Paul and his wife Linda, a fellow band member, were raising a family, and the book is a personal record of the Wings' beginnings after the break-up of the world's most famous group through to the very end of that decade. Apart from the insight into the dynamics of a hugely popular band, it reminds the reader of some of the songs and how they were written, recorded and performed: 'Band on the Run', 'Mull of Kintyre', 'Maybe I'm Amazed', 'Jet' and 'Junior's Farm'.
