A new month, and a brand new show to kick off July 2023! We had a fun time with 'This One' (pun intended!). This time we dived into the now obsolete and forgotten BBC Documentary titled The Paul McCartney Special.
Originally recorded in July of 1986 and broadcast in August 1986 on the BBC and released on Home Video (1987). It was presented and hosted by Richard Skinner of the BBC. It was a very important documentary at the time because you saw for the first time pro shot footage of some really rare early Wings footage. ('Wild Life' etc). It has since been superseded by other McCartney home video releases notably the inclusion of the "Bruce McMouse" Film in the Wings Live 71-73 Box. (Big Barn Box). As fas the interview itself, it kind of jumps all over Paul's career up to that time. It was mainly used as a promotional tool for the then forthcoming LP Press To Play. The Wings period is discussed but minimally, and is erratic.
We did stream an edited YouTube version for this episode and the user had to obscure some of the images (but oddly not the sound) in order to clear copyright. This and some really poor timed ads added to the entertainment.
Stay cool out there folks!
The summer is here!
Peace
Tom & Andy
