Paul McCartney says Beatles weren't that good


Sir Paul McCartney has said that the Beatles were not that good when they first formed.
The singer added that he understood the reason why record label Decca declined to sign the band in 1962."We obviously weren't that good. We were formulating it all," the Sun quoted him as saying in an interview with Xfm's Ian Camfield. He added: "You wouldn't have thought we were that great. You'd have turned us down if you were a record company. And they did - Decca turned us down!"However, the Fab Four later signed with EMI's Parlophone label, with the assistance of producer George Martin.The band then headed to play a 48-night residency in a Hamburg, Germany, club. McCartney said: "When we first went to Hamburg, and there'd be no one in the club."You'd see a couple of students, maybe a guy and his girlfriend, and they'd look in a bit tentatively, look up at the price of the beer, see it was too much and start walking out."So we'd go, 'Come on, everybody, get back in here! It's all happening!'"So we'd learned to attract an audience. After a few weeks, we'd be actually packing those clubs."It taught us that game of how to win over an audience."We learned loads of songs, so by the time we got back to England, we had quite a big repertoire."

Paul McCartney's Business

McCartney is today one of Britain's richest musicians, with an approximate luck of £750 million ($1.2 billion) in 2009, even though Justice Bennett, in his judgment on McCartney's divorce case found no evidence that McCartney was worth more than £400 million. In addition to his interest in Apple Corps, McCartney's MPL Communications owns a significant music publishing catalogue, with access to over 25,000 copyrights. McCartney earned £40 million in 2003, making him Britain's highest media earner. This rose to £48.5 million by 2005. In the same year he joined the top American talent agency Grabow Associates, who arrange private performances for their wealthiest clients. Northern Songs was formed in 1963, by Dick James, to publish the songs of Lennon/McCartney. The Beatles' partnership was replaced in 1968 by a jointly held company, Apple Corps, which carries on to control Apple's commercial interests. Northern Songs was bought by Associated TeleVision (ATV) in 1969, and was sold in 1985 to Michael Jackson. For many years McCartney was sad about Jackson's purchase and handling of Northern Songs.
MPL Communications is an umbrella company for McCartney's business interests, which owns a wide variety of copyrights, as well as the publishing rights to musicals. In 2006, the Trademarks Registry reported that MPL had started a process to secure the protections associated with registering the name "Paul McCartney" as a trademark. The 2005 films, Brokeback Mountain and Good Night and Good Luck, feature MPL copyrights.
In April 2009, it was exposed that McCartney, in common with other well-off musicians, had seen a important decline in his net worth over the preceding year. It was sketchy that his fortune had droped by some £60m, from £238m to £175m. The losses were credited to the ongoing worldwide recession, and the resulting refuse in value of property and stock market possessions.

Paul Mccartney Critique, recognition and achievements

McCartney is scheduled in The Guinness Book Of Records as the most victorious musician and composer in famous music history, with sales of 100 million singles and 60 gold discs. McCartney has got twenty-nine number-one singles in the US, twenty of them with The Beatles, the rest with Wings and as a solo artist. McCartney has been concerned in more number-one singles in the United Kingdom than any other artist under a selection of credits, although Elvis Presley has got more as a solo artist. McCartney has got 24 number-ones in the UK: solo (1), Wings (1), with Stevie Wonder (1), Ferry Aid (1), Band Aid (1), Band Aid 20 (1) and The Beatles (17).[225] McCartney is the only performer to reach the UK number one as a soloist ("Pipes of Peace"), duo ("Ebony and Ivory" with Stevie Wonder), trio ("Mull of Kintyre", Wings), quartet ("She Loves You", The Beatles), quintet ("Get Back", The Beatles with Billy Preston) and as part of a musical ensemble for charity (Ferry Aid).[226] McCartney's song "Yesterday" is the most enclosed song in history with more than 3,500 recorded versions and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American TV and radio, for which McCartney was given an award. After its 1977 release the Wings single "Mull of Kintyre" became the highest-selling record in British chart history, and remained so until 1984.

The minor planet 4148, discovered in 1983, was named 'McCartney' in his honour.


In the run up his concert in St Petersburg in 2004, McCartney hired 3 jets, at a reported cost of £28,000, to spray dry ice in the clouds above St Petersburg Palace Square in an attempt to prevent rain.

On 18 June 2006, McCartney celebrated his 64th birthday, the human milestone that was the subject of one of the first songs he ever wrote, at the age of sixteen, the Beatles song "When I'm Sixty-Four." Paul Vallely noted in The Independent:

“ "Paul McCartney’s 64th birthday is not just a personal event. It is a cultural milestone for a generation. Such is the nature of celebrity; McCartney is one of those people who has represented the hopes and aspirations of those born in the baby-boom era, which had its awakening in the Sixties."
