Over The Beatles en Paul McCartney is heel veel geschreven, maar zelden met informatie uit de eerste hand. Popjournalist Paul Du Noyer – hij is goed bevriend met zijn onderwerp – interviewde McCartney over een periode van vijfendertig jaar en bracht zijn bevindingen onder in dit boek. Deels biografie, deels hommage, deels persoonlijke memoires. Alles komt aan bod. Paul McCartneys vroege jeugd in Liverpool, de stad waar zijn hart ligt en die hem al ruim een halve eeuw met beide benen op de grond houdt. Zijn eerste muzikale invloeden, zijn avonturen in de popwereld van de woelige sixties, de drugs, de concurrentie, de waan van de dag, en de legendarische samenwerking met John Lennon die zoveel onvergetelijke Lennon & McCartney-songs opleverde. Zonder een blad voor de mond te nemen spreekt McCartney over het uiteengaan van The Beatles, zijn solocarrière en zijn grote liefde, Linda McCartney-Eastman. Het resultaat laat zich het best omschrijven als de drie levens van Paul McCartney: voor, tijdens en na The Beatles. Een fascinerend stuk popgeschiedenis voor iedereen, McCartney-fan of niet. De Britse journalist Paul Du Noyer werkte onder meer voor MOJO en Q en interviewde vrijwel elke beroemdheid, van David Bowie tot Pavarotti. Als tekstschrijver was hij jarenlang verbonden aan de staf van Paul McCartney.
