Audio only

This is a great compilation of different interviews. No other way to listen than the direct audio from him.

I love hearing his voice!

I have always loved his voice whether he is singing or talking. I love hearing these interviews because he talks so freely and so honestly about his wonderful life. It's just a very enjoyable listening experience for me having been a fan of his since the early 60s. The interviews chosen for this were not the "silly questions" type ones from the early Beatles days but rather well put together question and answer sessions by great interviewers. I love his very relaxed and sometimes very comical and friendly nature. I thoroughly enjoyed this and any McCartney fan would. I think anyone would enjoy this audio book, an easy listen.

Absolutely beautiful collection of my favorite

I have been a fan since I was 5 years old and first heard and then saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.
This is a wonderful collection of personal interviews from his career and I highly recommend it.
It’s a great way to understand the progression of his career. Very personal, touching and inspiring.

Compilation of archived audio clips

Not what I expected. No narration. The entire thing is a compilation of audio clips that are probably also on the internet, like YouTube. Audio quality of each clip is inconsistent. 2 stars for the effort to string the clips together in chronological order and for the subject matter.

Nothing that isn't on YouTube

I loved hearing PM's interviews over the years, but it's not worth paying an Audible credit for something you can get on YouTube for free.
