60's Icons 3 Complete Audiobooks: Blackbird Paul McCartney In Conversation With Ruth & Angie Can You Take Me Back

Beatle insider Geoffrey Giuliano presents a complex, often unsettling portrait of Paul McCartney. Based on extensive interviews, this account reveals McCartney’s contradictions—an indulgent entrepreneur yet devoted father, loyal husband, and environmental advocate. It explores his struggles with grief over his mother’s early death, his father Jim’s passing, and John Lennon’s murder. The book also delves into the Beatles' rise, their sex lives, drug use, breakup, and Paul’s romance with actress Jane Asher.

Emmy-nominated actor and narrator Giuliano offers a refreshingly candid critique of McCartney’s work, especially post-Wings. Packed with unknown insider details, this audiobook promises a wild ride for fans and music historians alike.

Ruth McCartney, a former Russian pop star and businesswoman, was Paul’s stepsister, not a blood relative. Their relationship remained distant, particularly after Jim McCartney died in 1976. While Jim was alive, Paul supported Ruth and Angela McCartney, but after his passing, financial struggles led Angela to auction off Paul’s childhood memorabilia, including his birth certificate.

In 1994, Ruth and Angela gave tell-all interviews to Giuliano, at times casting Paul in an unflattering light. Ruth recalled Paul dismissing her teenage career ambitions and tensions with Linda McCartney, who allegedly invaded Angela’s privacy. These explosive, never-before-presented interviews lift the curtain on the intensely private world of McCartney and the Beatles.

In 'Paul McCartney Can You Take Me Back' fans and scholars can find rare archival interviews, inside information, and new views on the great McCartney making it essential for dedicated fans, historians, and educational institutions. An ultra-rare, hard-hitting audio biography!
