About this listen
The follow-up to The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, the most complete work on the life and work of Paul McCartney ever published. Volume 2 continues to paint the portrait of one of the world’s greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980.
By 1974 the Beatles were a distant memory, and Paul McCartney had already gone on to release a solo album and form a new band, Wings. By the end of the decade Wings would be the bestselling band of the 1970s. The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 2 begins in 1974 at the height of Wings popularity and the beginning of McCartney’s next chapter.
Picking up immediately after The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, authors Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair have brought the same exhaustive research ethos to Volume 2 that made the first volume a critical success. Arguably the most authoritative text on the life of Paul McCartney, Volume 2 follows McCartney the man, establishing himself as a musician beyond Beatlemania and his legacy throughout the 20th century through the present day.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A real treat for music fans
You don’t need to be a macca nerd to enjoy this; but it’ll probably turn you into one. At the very least it’ll have you searching out and hearing the tracks the making of which they describe. Roll on Vol 3!

Into The EMI Matrix
As with the first volume, satisfyingly exhaustive, if a little too heavy on lists. Do we really need to know the full equipment list for Wings 1979 tour? And once again, our narrator luxuriates in the sound of his own voice almost to the point of parody, with a raised eyebrow at the end of almost every paragraph.

Excellent book.
My only issue is that the reader intonates like Swiss Tony, which grates after a while. It's just a personal gripe, though.
