Paul Gambaccini '70. Paul McCartney in hisOwn Words. N, Y. and London, Flash Books, 1976. Illustrated. 112 pp. Softcover. $3.95. A six-part series of question-and-answer conversations recorded in England in late 1973, plus a seventh section written by Gambaccini in 1975, all profusely illustrated by many previously unpublished photographs. A "quickie" aimed, apparently, at the largest possible popular audience. Being confined largely to McCartney on McCartney, the book will chiefly interest fans of rock and roll, the Beatles, Wings, or of McCartney himself, though Gambaccini's questions occasionally lead McCartney into discussion of a few more general subjects such as the collapse of the Beatles, record making, song writing, and other aspects of the pop music industry. Parts of the book originally appeared in RollingStone.
