Hello 2Legs Faithful! This week we chose to analyse (in real time) another vintage Paul interview. As we have done in the past, (1986's Paul McCartney Special) etc. This time around we opted to view the rare 1980 Interview conducted by Tim Rice of all people which was recorded in May 1980 and later released that August. This was a promotional piece…

He asked him to be a part of a special episode focused on the Beatles.

Finally! After a few years and many requests we finally take a deep dive into the 3rd Fireman album, 2008's Electric Arguments'. Arguably what could be considered another solo album like McCartney II or III, this album 15 years on has been lost a bit with the embarrassment of studio albums released between 2005 and now. Tom could not make this week…

Well, sort of. This week on the show Tom and Andy (with a big thank you to our friend Kyle Hand for the suggestion) come up with 3 documentaries we would like to see produced (Beatles Anthology style) on certain eras in Paul's career.
