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).

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.

Paul McCartney wrote 'Girls' School' (the B-Side to 'Mull of Kintyre' in the UK) using the titles of pornographic movies that he found in a newspaper. Following the release of The McCartney Legacy Volume 2, we've been asked to share some of our research clippings, so here they are.

For context, The McCartney Legacy Volumes 1 and 2 combined are about the same size as Mark Lewisohn’s Tune In Extended Special Edition. As Allan put it yesterday “volume two is a big bugger!” Pre-order your copy of Volume 2: 1974-80 now for December 10 release!
