McCartney Times

When The Beatles released The White Album in 1968, some people thought that the 93 minutes and 30 tracks represented a bit too much of this, that or the other. Paul McCartney did not, however. “I’m not a great one for that whole, ‘Y’know maybe it was too many of that’,” he opined, “What do you mean? It was great, it sold. It’s the bloody Beatles White Album, shut up!” It’s safe to say that ‘Macca’ resides firmly in the camp that thinks the double album represents a band at the top of their game in an unprecedented state of creative flow despite the tensions that occasionally beset the studio.Both the triumph and tribulations of the record make it one of the most discussed albums in the band’s arsenal and, therefore, one of the most discussed records of all time, period. This makes it all the more refreshing when you find one of the band earnestly offering up their own thoughts on the fabled outing.
