Taken far too young - Linda McCartney passed away on this day in 1998.
Linda is pictured here with Paul, Heather and dog Martha by Campbeltown harbour on November 8, 1968 (Linda's first visit to what became her spiritual home in Scotland).

Inspired by John Lennon's tale of seeing a UFO hover over Manhattan in August 1974, Paul McCartney wrote 'Venus and Mars.' Recounting stories of intergalactic travel, the song drew inspiration from science fiction novels by Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert.

@mccartneylegacy.bsky.social I finally finished Vol. 2, and my main takeaway is that the story of Jimmy McCulloch is so sad: so much talent snuffed out too young in a way that’s all too common in the rock game. My other big conclusion is that I wish that the Back to the Egg lineup had lasted longer

Written in the summer of 1974, 'Letting Go' was originally titled "Now that she is mine." As Paul tinkered with the song the refrain was replaced with, “Oh, I feel like letting go,” and the title changed accordingly.

The new 50th anniversary Dolby Atmos mix of Venus and Mars is sensational - vocal and instrumental details emerge here that have been buried for 50 years. Kudos to Giles Martin and Steve Orchard for being bold and breathing new life into these recordings.

@mccartneylegacy.bsky.social I got Volume 2 of the McCartney Legacy for Christmas, but have only just now had time to dig into it, and I have to say it’s even better than Volume 1. The level of research is astonishing, and your treatment of Paul’s solo career will never be bettered. Thank you.

Just finished Vol. 2 of @mccartneylegacy.bsky.social. What a tremendously entertaining and informative read. I’m sure Sir Paul’s book on Wings will be fascinating, but Vols. 1 & 2 go into great detail on what really happened. A major addition to Beatles/Paul scholarship. Thank you Allan & Adrian.

When The McCartney Legacy Volume 1: 1969-73 was released, a number of readers contacted us as they were unconvinced that Henry McCullough actually played drums on ‘C Moon.’ This press release for Paul McCartney & Wings’ double A side (misspelling Henry’s name) confirms the story.
