SUMMARY Unseen Paul builds on our earlier episodes by sharing even more quotes, stories, and insights about young Paul McCartney, who deserves a nuanced and dynamic portrait in any Beatles biography. We explore some of his more overlooked character traits: his quirks and gifts; his stressors and anxieties; his unusual interests and values. These features reveal him as a fascinatingly dualistic artist and person.SOURCESPaul McCartney: the Definitive Biography by Chris Salewicz (1986)The Beatles by Bob Spitz (2005)“Portrait of Paul” Women Magazine by Mike McCartney (1965)Magical Mystery Tours: My Time with the Beatles by Tony Bramwell (2006)Many Years From Now by Barry Miles (1997)Thank U Very Much by Mike McCartneyPaul McCartney on Howard Stern (2021)“A Political Paul” Interview w/ Jonathan Powers for Prospect Magazine (Jan 17, 2009)Paul McCartney interview w/ Hot Press magazine (2002)Maureen Cleave “Intelligent Beatle”“Mockers” Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9e6zHA6eOY&t=116sThe Beatles Authorized Biography by Hunter Davies (1968)The Beatles diary: Volume 1 by Barry Miles (2001)BBC Interview “dyslexia”  (October 4, 1997)https://www.effinghamradio.com/2023/06/15/happy-birthday-paul-mccartney-2Angie McCartney Interview w/ Geoffrey Guiliano (1984)https://www.tumblr.com/pleasantlyinsincere/697307027602571264/angie-and-ruth-mccartney-on-saying-i-love-you-in?source=shareMike McCartney; Beatles Book Monthly Magazine (1992)Paul McCartney for New York Times Magazine (2020)THE LYRICS by Paul McCartney and Paul Muldoon (2021)Icke, Evelyn Hamann und die Beatles: Eine Art Biografie by Hans “Icke” Braun (2019)*ENGLISH TRANSLATION of Braun's book and further anecdotes generously provided to AKOM by @packyourromanticmind on tumblrA Cellar Full of Noise by Brian Epstein (1964)Allan Williams quote from Music Legends The Beatles Special Edition by The Rock Review Music Legends Library (Sept 2, 2019)https://issuu.com/codarecordsltd/docs/music_legends_beatles_special_editionInterview w/ Horst Fascher for Deutschlandfunk Kultur (2006)Astrid Kirchherr Interviewed by Colin Hall for Get Rhythm (August 2001)PLAYLISTStairway to Paradise SARAH VAUGHAN4 Pointers 1 TREVOR DUNCANFine and Mellow ETTA JONESWelcome to My World JIM REEVESEl Paso MARTY ROBBINSYou Go To My Head BILLIE HOLIDAYNature Boy NAT KING COLEBlack and White EARL ROBINSONMy Bucket’s Got a Hole in it HANK WILLIAMSSpoonful HOWLIN WOLFSince I Don’t Have You THE SKYLINERSPerhaps DORIS DAYLonesome Town RICKY NELSONLove to Love NINA SIMONE
