By Macca818 Hi Club Members, I wanted to know what kind of Paul McCartney things you would like me to Report on for the upcoming issues. So, e-mail me with your Ideas. Thanks! -Macca818 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Report: This item is priceless!!! By Hoops3388 On September 15th, 1998, a Beatles notebook compiled by Mal Evans, the Beatles’ road manager who was killed in 1976 in L.A. for brandishing a fake gun at police, will be sold at Sotheby’s sale of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia in London at the Hard Rock Café. It is a spiral notebook filled with drafts for the lyrics to “Hey Jude,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” which has an extra half line of recording notes for “All You Need is Love” filled in by John and George, a checklist about filming promotional clips for the “Strawberry Fields Forever,” single, and some brightly colored doodles by John Lennon. This item donated by an anonymous vender, is expected to be sold for 90,000 to 120,000 pounds ($147,000 to $196,000). “Lyrics are easily the most collectable items for collectors,” says Stephen Maycock, the rock and pop specialist for the sale. I bet it’ll most definitely sell quickly! No doubt about it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ News Extras: What were you doing last week??? By Pickwick5 Just to let you know—the week of August 9th to the 15th (just last week), was the thirty year anniversary of the release of “Hey Jude,” along with “Revolution.” It was the group’s first single from the Apple Records label.

Birthdate: March 27, 1956 Hometown: Brentwood, Essex Previous Bands: The Young Ones, Woodhead Monroe, Chris Thompson and The Islands, Kevin Coyne, Alison Moyet, Status Quo, Barry Manilow, The Pretenders, The The, Paul Young Wix: "Rock 'n' Roll doesn't mean anything to some people.

What Wix thought about New York: "I have always dreamed about Playing in New York. Then that night, I got my Dream." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By Macca818 This week is gonna be one of Paul McCartney's Songs :o) : Off the Ground There must have been alot of heartache For you to sink so low.

John got it from his son's painting: it had a girl's face in the sky with diamonds and stars around it. His son, Julian, said that it was his friend Lucy. Some of the other images in the song such as cellophane flowers and rocking horse people were taken from the book Alice in Wonderland. "I happened to go to a Beatle tribute concert a few days ago in Worcester. The band was called "1964." In my opinion they sounded just like the Beatles. The crowd was just as loud also. There was lots of screaming and yelling from the mosh pit. They played songs like "Help," "Yellow Submarine," and "Twist and Shout.” All in all they were great, but the wait sucked and so did the line for the bathroom." -amarple ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By Macca818 Unscramble the following Beatles song titles: 1.

We're just four parts of the one." -Paul McCartney (about the Beatles) “I thought that was really ADORABLE.” –Brain Wilson, of the Beach Boys, on “Back in the U.S.S.R.” being a parody/tribute to the group. “We were always in competition. I wrote ‘Penny Lane,’ so he wrote ‘Strawberry fields.’ That was how it was.” –Paul McCartney on Beatles’ songwriting. “We had these endless, crazy fun sessions….And it was just hilarious to put that record together. It’s not a great melody or anything, it’s just unique.” –Paul McCartney about the song “You now my name, look up the number.” “The priority is always the song. The song is what remains. It’ not how you’ve done it. I honestly believe in the song more than the music. It’s the song people whistle. You don’t whistle my drum part. And John and Paul wrote some pretty amazing songs.” –Ringo Starr (I found this quote especially interesting because I really DO go around humming Ringo’s drumming, well call me crazy…) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please send in articles everyone!
