An incredible, candid, and surprising look into the mind of a perfectionist. In this May 1980 interview, Paul McCartney looks back at the mid-60s era of Rubber Soul and Revolver with shocking honesty.
Paul reveals that despite the albums being masterpieces, he once sat in a hotel in Germany feeling "real down" because he was convinced the recordings were "all out of tune." He uses this memory to show that even the world's biggest stars can be dead wrong about their own work. He also credits Bob Dylan’s massive influence on John’s songwriting, specifically on "You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away." A rare glimpse into the insecurities behind the genius.
