Paul McCartney has released a solo album — a fact that is both musically and artistically exciting. However, he’s also managed to shroud this achievement in an aura of petty bitterness and childish behavior. While the American and Canadian releases of Paul’s album don’t contain them, the English release Contains four information sheets which make clear his feelings towards the Beatles, Allan Klein and Apple.

Paul McCartney has released a solo album — a fact that is both musically and artistically exciting. However, he’s also managed to shroud this achievement in an aura of petty bitterness and childish behavior. While the American and Canadian releases of Paul’s album don’t contain them, the English release Contains four information sheets which make clear his feelings towards the Beatles, Allan Klein and Apple. The four sheets are labeled “General Information”, “Information”, “Lyrics” and “Interview.” The first three sheets are made up of several photographs, the lyrics of Paul’s songs, and a booklet of recording information.. It is the Interview sheet, where Paul conducts a solo interview with himself,* that drops most of the verbal bombs. He deliberately asked himself such things as:
Question: Is it true that neither Allan Klein or ABKCO have been or will be in any way involved with the production, manufacturing, distribution or promotion of this album?
Answer: Not if I can help it?
Question: Did you miss the other Beatles and George Martin? Was there a moment, e.g., when you xnought: “Wish Ringo wis here for this break?”
Answer: No.
