Greetings fellow Paul bearers and welcome to the first of two instalments that explore Paul McCartney's 1986 album, 'Press to Play'. This is an album that, apparently, is the worst effort that Macca has ever put to print. Well, let's put that to the test shall we?
In this episode we cover...
- McCartney's Decline in Popularity
- Linda's Drug Bust
- Live Aid
- Eric Stewart vs Hugh Padgham, aka "The Producers".
- The recording of the album.
- The album artwork.
- The critical reception.
- ....and I will not be covering Give My Regards to Broadstreet, even though it did technically happen during this period. That is all coming in a future episode!
This has been another one of those episodes that has taken far too long to come out, but I hope the wait was worth it! Please enjoy....

Hey everyone, and welcome back to a side-series where we are discussing every music video and promotion clip that Paul has released since 1970.
After concluding the last episode with the videos from London Town, we now get to talk about Wings' second TV special where they would perform seven songs, plus one non-album single from their upcoming 979 release, Back to the Egg. Wish me luck folks...
Please enjoy. Hare Krishna. Peace and love.

Hello goodbye everyone, and welcome to another special interview on this episode of Paul or Nothing. This week we speak (exclusively) with frequent McCartney collaborator, photographer and director Brantley Gutierrez!
You may know him as the director of Macca's "Who Cares music video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WOb6ePqjIE
Brantley is an incredible artist, cinephile and musician in his own right, and his insights into McCartney's creative process were invaluably fascinating. He was a delight to talk to, and don't worry folks...he's a big Beatle fan. Please enjoy.
Peace and love.

A hoy hoy everyone, today me and good friend of the show, Mr. Tom Kwei, will be taking a trip to Springfield for an opportunity to not only talk more Macca talk, but also the greatest comedy of all time, The Simpsons.
McCartney's now-iconic turn with televisions favourite animated family is one of my favourite moments of the show, and I always knew they is was going to be an episode I wanted to cover.
Please enjoy this live, face-to-face episode of the show, and forgive the shared mic.
Peace and love.

Hey everyone, I know this semi-animated concert film has been out for a while now, but alas, I could not afford the massive Wings 1971-71 box set. However, thanks to our Patreon supporters I could afford to rent it off iTunes which is the next best thing. Hope you all enjoy folks. The Wings are here!
Peace and love..

Hello there everyone, and welcome to another bonus episode of Paul or Nothing. This time I have another hot take for you all on some brand new Paul McCartney content. It's a double A-side with songs taken (yet again) from the Egypt Station sessions (hopefully the last), and I can't wait to review it with you now.
The exact time this episode will drop is supposedly when my local record store will open. Fingers crossed I get my copy!

Hey there everyone and welcome to The Sweetest Little Show in town, as we continue on with Part 2 of our dissection of 1983's Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney.
Last time we covered all of the history and context of the album, and now with part 2 we are going to do a song-by-song, track-by-track analysis of the album itself.
Please enjoy this podcast from a very average person...

Greetings fellow Paul bearers and welcome to the first of two instalments that explore the 1983 album by Paul McCartney, 'Pipes of Peace'. This is, apparently, the twin album to Tug of War and the culmination of Paul's prolific post-Wings period.
In this episode we cover...
- Working with Michael Jackson.
- The gerat Beatle Songwriting Swindle, aka. The Beatles VS Michael Jackson.
- The recording of the album.
- Whether this truly is the "TWIN" album to Tug of War.
- The album artwork.
- The critical reception.
- ....and I will not be covering Give My Regards to Broadstreet, even though it did technically happen during this period. Don't worry, we'll get to it.
This one, as many as you know, has taken a loooong time to come out, but I hope the wait was worth it! Please enjoy....
