Sir James Paul McCartney MBE, known as Paul McCartney, is an English singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, poet, entrepreneur, painter, record producer, film producer, and animal-rights activist. He gained worldwide fame as one of the founders and members of The Beatles. McCartney and John Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". After leaving The Beatles, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda Eastman McCartney, and songwriter/singer Denny Laine. He has worked on film scores, classical music, and ambient/electronic music; released a large catalogue of songs as a solo artist; and taken part in projects to help international charities.
McCartney is listed in Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history, with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles. His song "Yesterday" is listed as the most covered song in history and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American television and radio. Wings' 1977 single "Mull of Kintyre" became the first single to sell more than two million copies in the UK, and remains the UK's top selling non-charity single. (Three charity singles have since surpassed it in sales; the first to do so—in 1984—was Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?", whose participants included McCartney.)
His company MPL Communications owns the copyrights to more than 3,000 songs, including all of the songs written by Buddy Holly, along with the publishing rights to such musicals as Guys and Dolls, A Chorus Line, and Grease.
An iconic figure in contemporary culture, he is regarded internationally as an entertainer and humanitarian. Aside from his musical work, McCartney is an actor, a painter, a poet, and an advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and music education; he is active in campaigns against landmines, seal hunting, and Third World debt.
Excelente libro y sus fotografías acerca del Album Revolver Viene incluido al conseguir el Deluxe Box Set Revolver, de 100 páginas. Incluye una introducción de Giles Martin, prólogo de Paul McCartney mas 2 "opiniones" de Questlove y Kevin Howlett Contiene una descripción canción por canción de cómo se grabaron, la historia del diseño de la cubierta del Álbum y el recibimiento al lanzamiento. Ah y las diferencias del LP en Mono y Estéreo.
Interesante libro que nos sitúa en el momento de la creación de las canciones, las tomas falsas, la forma de creación y que indica que canción esta en el álbum para escuchar esa versión.
La opinión del baterista Questlove me pareció que se incluyó para abarcar "las nuevas generaciones" porque para mi fue irrelevante.
Me encantó conocer parte de cómo se realizaron las canciones y que diferencias hay entre la versión mono y en estéreo.
Es un magnífico album y conocer la historia y el desarrollo de las canciones le da un plus.
