Mccartney Now & Then

Rate this book
In this book, Paul McCartney - the most prolific member of the Beatles, founder of Wings and enduring solo artist - speaks in his own words of his private life, his life as a singer, musician, composer, and businessman, of how the greatest band in the world came to be, and how and why they broke up. Paul McCartney Now and Then is the inside story from the man himself. Includes commentary from Sir George Martin, Steve Miller, Pete Best, Brian Wilson, Peter Asher, and others. Complemented throughout by rare, many previously unseen photos shot over a career spanning more than four decades. Robin Bextor is a well-known documentary film maker and writer who has formed a close relationship with Paul McCartney over the years. Tony Barrow, who coined the phrase "Fab Four," was head of the Beatles' Press Office from 1962-1968.

Este es un buen libro para los fans de McCartney que buscan algo más que la típica biografía. Su formato permite incluir grandes fotografías en buena calidad, algunas de ellas bastante raras y poco vistas en otros lugares. Además, también se presentan testimonios sobre la figura de McCartney aportados por personas allegadas a él, en mayor o menor medida, y que resultan bastante interesantes para conformar la verdadera personalidad del artista.
Sin embargo, es en la redacción de la biografía en la que se encuentran las mayores carencias del volumen. El relato se centra en demasía en los años de McCartney como Beatle y apena explora otros momentos más desconocidos de su vida. Sin embargo, aunque no aporta nada nuevo que no se pueda leer en cualquier otra biografía del artista publicada con anterioridad, merece la pena por la cuidada edición y, sobre todo, por la oportunidad de disfrutar de las imágenes.
