A wonderful and illuminating conversation with filmmaker and author Adrian Sinclair on his fascinating new book, The McCartney Legacy: Volume One. This is a good one for all of you Beatle fans and McCartney lovers.

Adrian Sinclair studied film at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and served a traineeship with ITV in Yorkshire, England, where he learned his craft as a documentary film editor. He’s worked for almost every major broadcaster in the world, including the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, National Geographic, Discovery and MTV. As well as receiving recognition for his work from the Royal Television Society in England, Adrian’s 2010 documentary Stealing Shakespeare (BBC/Smithsonian) was Emmy nominated for Best Documentary.

THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY: Volume 1: 1969-73, the inaugural volume of the most exhaustive account of Paul McCartney’s life beyond the Beatles ever committed to paper. Kozinn and Sinclair combine stories of McCartney’s personal life with accounts of his musical undertakings to paint a compelling, complex portrait of an often tortured, self-doubting perfectionist. The book has already been praised as “dazzling and definitive” (Rob Sheffield) and an “accurate biography of a universal explorer” (Mark Lewisohn).
