McCartney Times

The Beatles didn’t exactly have the luxury of wasting material. Their recording contract stipulated that they put out roughly two albums every single year, and with their early days being a nonstop tornado of live shows, promotional appearances, film shoots, and recording sessions, most of the material written and recorded by the band eventually saw the light of day.
