Calling all Bootleg Fans! It's like Christmas in April!

Recent boots have surfaced (don't ask us where to find them!), stemming from the Geoff Emerick Estate sale which includes many Rough Mixes of BOTR material as well as later Wings material.

These are on the Misterclaudel and HMC labels. We have only heard the Misterclaudel as of this recording.

We would also like to give a special shout out to Hoffman/Beatles forum member "m...

Hello 2Legs Faithful!

This week we chose to analyse (in real time) another vintage Paul interview. As we have done in the past, (1986's Paul McCartney Special) etc. This time around we opted to view the rare 1980 Interview conducted by Tim Rice of all people which was recorded in May 1980 and later released that August. This was a promotional piece to promote McCartney II which had just been released.

We like to focus on intervie...

Hi all! For Episode 239 Andy and Tom invited Daryl Easlea who edited and assembled the special edition of Record Collector Magazine first published in the UK in December and arriving Stateside in January. Daryl is a lifelong collector on all things Beatles, Solo and McCartney and has been in the industry for the past 25 years.

He assembled a great team of writers for this issue. There is a submission for every studio album, sectio...

Hi Everyone! Fresh and Rested from the FEST, Episode 238 finds Andy and Tom discussing the second compilation hits package from Paul, All The Best! from 1987 and it's UK vs US configurations and our earliest memories with it.

We think it holds up rather well and a brilliant marketing and promotional campaign ensured the album sold well in the homeland (#2) while not doing as well in the US (#62). It was a pretty pivotal moment in ...

Well, we finally got our hands on it! Joining Andy and Tom this FEST weekend for our review of the "Underdubbed Mix" of Band On The Run is none other than Mr. David Gargalino, original co-host of 2Legs.

We go track by track on the new mix. Vinyl and CD for all 3 of us! Tom gives his opinion on the 1/2 Speed remaster as well (Andy & David had not listened as of recording date).

No OBI strip with the Deluxe Box, so what do we n...

This week on 2Legs we were delighted to have back Mr. Eoghan Lyng (Author: George Harrison in the 1970s, U2onTrack) and contributor to publications Culture Sonar, Penny Black Music and Far Out Magazine for Part II of our "Deep Dive" on the Paul & George relationship. This installment centres on the years 1976 to 1981.

While not a prolific period of trading barbs between the two but there are some nice quotes from the pair duri...

Hi gang,  As we prepare for the 2024 Fest in a few weeks we did a quick fun one for E235. What are some of your favourite Paul/Wings songs to just sing your heart out to while driving, (or other places?). This week Andy and Tom rolled off a bunch of our favs. Some you probably would guess, some others. Not very ballad heavy you would think! We also discuss some recent and upcoming appearances on other people's channel's/shows and s...

Another year has come and gone. This will be the 8th Year for 2Legs overall since starting in 2016, and 4th full year for Andy since joining in late 2019. We recap the year that was. Books, Releases, Announcements, Tours, Deaths and Collaborations as well as our favourite episodes we recorded in 2023 and our Hopes for 2024. Wishing you and your families a very happy, healthy and safe New Year in 2024.

Thanks for always having ou...

A Year Anniversary the marketing people felt necessitated yet again another vinyl configuration for McCartney III. First issued in December 2020, here we are again with another variant. 3 different "swirl" colours. Joining Tom and Andy for 232 is original 2Legs Co-Host David Gargalino and we discuss marketing strategies and why we would or would not decide to go for it. Did any of you go for it? Get burned by the policy in trying t...

We were honoured to have legendary DJ Ken Dashow (Q104.3 FM in New York) join us for Episode 231!

Steve has published other works on the Beatles and is a regular Fest attendee as well. He will be at the NYC Fest in February. Steve chronicles his methods on research and we contexualise the MMT period (post-E...

Andy went live on our channel (Tom was tied up) when we learned that founding Wings member Denny Laine succumbed to cancer this past week.  Denny was a stronghold for Paul through the 1970s when Paul needed companionship the most. His contributions to Paul's music and his own will stand the test of time.

Andy paid his respects and took comments/questions from our YouTube audience on 5th December 2023. RIP Denny.
