Hello everyone, and welcome to another ripping episode of Paul or Nothing,
This week we discuss the new Paul McCartney/Rick Rubin documentary series, "McCartney 3, 2, 1"...
Rather spontaneously, I am joined by Dr. Duncan Driver, an Assistant Professor at the University of Canberra in Australia & author. You will also know him as one of the contributors to the excellent "One Sweet Dream" podcast (with Diana Erickson), as well as his last turn on this show where we covered Unplugged: The Official Bootleg/MTV:Unplugged.
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

At a time where I really should be using my time much more wisely, I instead ended up getting my notes wrong for this episode. What follows is a casual conversation with Jonathan and Julia from the Ranking the Beatles podcast.
I guess this episode is about making the best of a mistake, and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Paul or Nothing,
I am once again graced (very swiftly) by Phoebe from both the "Another Kind of Mind", and "One Sweet Dream" podcasts.
This time around we are stepping away from album artwork (for a change) and instead we are going to discuss one of the most elusive, mysterious, and all-around badass Paul McCartney film projects. Detailing Wings' rehearsals for what would become the "Wings Over the World Tour", this is..."One Hand Clapping"...
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

So yeah folks, this is the first time I have ever officially posted a "lost" episode of the show. Originally, this was part of the "Catch-Up" side series, where me and Kit O'Toole were going to cover Give My Regards to Broadstreet, both the film and the album. However, the audio quality of the episode meant the whole thing was sadly shelved.
After finding the file in a hard drive transfer the RAW episode was posted as an exclusive Patreon bonus. Then, my generous patrons decided via poll that not only was it good enough to release, but that it was good enough to release as it was. This means you are about to hear the uncut, unedited conversation between me and The Queen.
This is unlikely to be the official episode on Broadstreet, and I expect me and Kit will return to it as a topic in the future some time. Hopefully anyway.
So yeah folks, please enjoy this unique, raw episode of Paul or Nothing that comes...FROM THE VAULTS!
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Me and Ken Michaels spend a couple of hours getting uppity over people constantly slagging off Macca's musical output during the 1980's. Come listen to a man who was doing McCartney radio in the 80's, and a guy who wasn't even alive in the 80's discuss McCartney's most unfairly maligned and misunderstood decade.
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.
