New Releases by Paul McCartney

Told in revelatory first person, this immersive account of Paul McCartney and Wings is the engrossing oral history of a band that came to define a generation. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run tells the astonishing, almost improbable, story of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band from 1971 through its dissolution barely a decade later. Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, key players, and family members, Wings poignantly recounts, now with a half-century's wisdom, the story of a man and musician navigating the aftermath of The Beatles' breakup, soon joined by his wife--American photographer Linda McCartney--on keyboard and vocals; drummer Denny Seiwell; and guitarist Denny Laine, among many others. Organized around nine Wings albums, the narrative follows the adventurous band as they survive a robbery on the streets of Nigeria, appear unannounced at various university halls, tour in a sheared-off double-decker bus with their children, all while producing some of the most enduring music of the decade. With 150 black-and-white and color photographs, many previously unseen, this is a landmark work of soaring originality.

La autobiografía en rústica y en un solo volumen a través de las 161 canciones más emblemáticas desde 1956 hasta la actualidad de Paul McCartney, el mayor compositor musical de la historia contemporánea. «Con más frecuencia de las que puedo contar, me han preguntado si escribiría una autobiografía, pero nunca ha sido el momento adecuado. Lo único con lo que siempre me las he arreglado para hacer, ya sea en casa o de viaje, es escribir canciones nuevas. Sé que a algunas personas, cuando llegan a cierta edad, les gusta ir en busca de su diario para recordar los acontecimientos del día a día del pasado, pero yo no tengo esos cuadernos. Lo que sí tengo son mis canciones, cientos de ellas, de las que he aprendido que tienen el mismo propósito. Y estas canciones abarcan toda mi vida. Espero que lo que he escrito le muestre a la gente algo sobre mis canciones y mi vida que no hayan visto antes. He intentado decir algo sobre cómo ocurre la música y lo que significa para mí, y espero que pueda significar también algo para los demás.» (Paul McCartney) «A partir de las conversaciones que mantuve con Paul McCartney durante un período de cinco años, estos textos son lo más parecido a una autobiografía que jamás podríamos haber escrito. Sus conocimientos sobre su propio proceso artístico confirman una noción que ya habíamos adivinado: que Paul McCartney es una figura literaria importante que se basa y extiende en la larga tradición de la poesía inglesa. Durante sesenta años ha encarnado la inquietud que asociamos con el artista de primer nivel. Y más allá de eso, Paul McCartney es notable porque es uno de los pocos que no solo está influenciado por su tiempo sino que su trabajo ha definido sustancialmente ese tiempo.» (Paul Muldoon)

« Qui regarde qui, au juste ? L’objectif semble changer de point de vue en permanence : il y a moi qui les photographie, la presse qui nous photographie, et puis ces dizaines de milliers de gens amassés qui cherchent à saisir le tourbillon. » — PAUL McCARTNEY Ces photographies prises par Paul McCartney racontent la saison 1963-1964 des Beatles, avec les concerts à Liverpool et à Londres puis leur passage par Paris et l’Olympia avant leur première tournée aux États-Unis, de New York à Miami en passant par Washington. Des images qui sont comme les notes qu’aurait prises Paul McCartney pendant cette année extraordinaire et témoignent de l’effervescence créative de l’époque comme des moments les plus intimes de la vie du groupe. Nul n’a jamais raconté de la sorte l’histoire de John, George, Ringo et de leur entourage pendant ces quelques mois où tout s’est joué. Musicien exceptionnel, parolier de génie, artiste complet, Paul McCartney se révèle, au fil de ces clichés dévoilés ici pour la première fois, un photographe-né au regard espiègle et tendre. « Vous tenez entre les mains le regard, au sens littéral du terme, de Paul McCartney sur cette fameuse année 1964, qui vit la Beatlemania se répandre sur la terre entière, comme un torrent en crue, après avoir quitté son lit britannique. Entre nous soit dit, sans le moindre doute, la contamination la plus joyeuse qu’ait pu connaître le monde au cours des dernières décennies. » — ANTOINE DE CAUNES

“Millions of eyes were suddenly upon us, creating a picture I will never forget.” —Paul McCartney Taken with a 35mm camera by Paul McCartney, these largely unseen photographs capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history. Featuring 275 images from the six cities—Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami—of these legendary months, 1964: Eyes of the Storm also includes: • A personal foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of British concert halls, followed by the hysteria that greeted the band on its first American visit • Candid recollections preceding each city portfolio that form an autobiographical account of the period McCartney remembers as the “Eyes of the Storm,” plus a coda with subsequent events in 1964 • “Beatleland,” an essay by Harvard historian and New Yorker essayist Jill Lepore, describing how The Beatles became the first truly global mass culture phenomenon Handsomely designed, 1964: Eyes of the Storm creates an intensely dramatic record of The Beatles’ first transatlantic trip, documenting the radical shift in youth culture that crystallized in 1964. “You could hold your camera up to the world, in 1964. But what madness would you capture, what beauty, what joy, what fury?” —Jill Lepore

Ein unglaublicher Schatz von knapp eintausend Fotos, von Paul McCartney mit einer 35mm Kamera aufgenommen, wurde 2020 in seinem Archiv wieder entdeckt. Sie dokumentieren auf eindringliche Weise die Monate gegen Ende 1963 und die Anfänge des Jahres 1964, als in Großbritannien die Beatlemania ausbrach und die vier Beatles nach dem ersten Besuch der Band in den USA die berühmtesten Menschen der Welt wurden. Die Fotos zeigen McCartneys persönliche Sicht dieser explosiven Zeit, als die Beatles das Geschehen aus dem Zentrum des Sturms heraus betrachteten, sozusagen dessen Augen wurden: «Eyes of the Storm». «Augen des Sturms» präsentiert 275 der von McCartney aufgenommen Fotografien aus sechs Städten, die die vier Beatles in diesen intensiven und legendären Monaten bereisten – Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C. und Miami – dazu viele bislang unbekannte Porträts von John, George und Ringo. In seinem Vorwort und den Einleitungen zu den einzelnen Kapiteln erinnert McCartney sich an eine Zeit, in der «Wie soll man es sonst beschreiben – die Hölle losbrach», und er beschreibt eindringlich den Moment, in dem sich die Kultur wandelte und die 1960er Jahre wirklich begannen. «Die Kraft und die Liebe zu sehen, das Staunen über das, was wir erlebt haben, das diese Fotos einfangen, darum geht es. Das ist es, was das Leben so großartig macht.» Paul McCartney «Wenn man der Welt 1964 eine Kamera entgegenhielt, welchen Wahnsinn fing man damit ein, welche Schönheit, welche Freude, welchen Aufruhr?» Jill Lepore

In diesem außergewöhnlichen Buch betrachtet Paul McCartney sein Leben und sein Werk im Prisma von 154 eigenen Songs. In alphabetischer Reihenfolge angeordnet, bilden diese Songs von den frühesten musikalischen Gehversuchen Über Klassiker der Popgeschichte wie "Hey Jude", "Yesterday" oder "Let it Be" bis hin zu jüngsten Kompositionen ein autobiografisches Kaleidoskop, in dem McCartney die Entstehungsgeschichten seiner Songs schildert, Menschen und Orte, die ihn beeinflusst haben, und was er heute über seine Lieder denkt. Auf diese Weise - ein Leben in Songs - ist ein vollkommen einzigartiges Musiker-Memoir entstanden, das Paul McCartneys Stimme und Persönlichkeit auf jeder Seite spürbar werden lässt. Bislang unbekannte Schätze aus McCartneys Privatarchiv - Skizzen, Briefe und vor allem Fotografien - machen "Lyrics" auch optisch zu einem einmaligen Dokument über einen der erfolgreichsten Musiker des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Cada canção revela uma faceta de Paul McCartney: a parceria com John Lennon, as presenças marcantes de Linda Eastman e Nancy Shevell, suas inspirações literárias e as pessoas e fatos do cotidiano que influenciaram seu processo criativo. Organizadas em ordem alfabética, as letras oferecem uma visão caleidoscópica da vida e obra de Paul, onde podemos vislumbrar sua relação com os pais e professores da escola, o encontro com os outros Beatles para uma jornada de dez anos que marcou a música para sempre e suas experimentações artísticas, que transcendem a era do quarteto de Liverpool. Paul McCartney se revela com verdadeira sinceridade a respeito de seu processo criativo, mostrando-se um artista obstinado em não se repetir, que busca recriar-se ao longo das últimas seis décadas. Foi assim que Paul não apenas foi influenciado por seu tempo, mas também se tornou um artista que definiu uma era. The Lyrics é um panorama sem precedentes do processo criativo de um artista ímpar, que transformou a história da música.

Mas eu não tenho um diário. O que eu tenho são minhas canções – centenas delas –,que servem para o mesmo propósito.” (Paul McCartney)

Artiste polyvalent et écrivain rock reconnu, Bruno Blum nous livre ici un ouvrage à la fois plein d'humour et profond sur son sujet fétiche : le véganisme. Décalé, drôle et très documenté, ce témoignage nous invite à des prises de conscience aussi inattendues qu'essentielles. Il nous plonge dans la vague végane actuelle, un mouvement de plus en plus populaire en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, qui a pour but d'éviter la souffrance animale et de mettre un terme à l'exploitation des animaux par l'espèce humaine. Il fut un temps où l'esclavage, qui nous horrifie aujourd'hui, paraissait naturel ; de même, soutiennent les véganes, un jour viendra où il nous semblera inadmissible de tuer des animaux pour les manger. Bruno Blum, qui a depuis longtemps cessé de « consommer de l'alcool, du tabac, des drogues, des animaux et autres produits donnant prise à l'addiction », nous fait ici le récit de sa transformation, dans le style effronté et affûté qui lui est propre. Il nous explique par ailleurs pourquoi il est important de manger autre chose que des animaux, et comme il est facile de passer aux délices véganes. Connu, dès la fin des années 1970, en tant que correspondant « gonzo » à Londres du populaire mensuel de rock Best, et spécialiste français du reggae, Bruno Blum a très tôt côtoyé les grandes stars du rock. C'est la chanteuse des Pretenders qui l'initie au végétarisme en 1980, précipitant un long voyage intérieur. Globe-trotter polyglotte versé dans la spiritualité, Bruno Blum est dessinateur, conférencier, musicologue, musicien et compositeur. Il est aussi l'auteur d'une quinzaine de livres. Préface de Paul McCartney. Postface de Michka Seeliger-Chatelain.
