Review: Absolutely brilliant six-part series (1/2 hour each) on the music and times of the iconic former Beatle. I have never been a Paul fan- am solidly in the John camp on the Beatles divide- but this series changed my view of sir Paul immensely. What a joy ride through the development, fruition and end of The Beatles. Whatever junk Paul had with his soul brother, John Lennon, is now long gone and replaced with brotherly love. The film clips and recordings are amazing and Rubin is masterful at teasing Paul out and using his mixing board to show us the intricacies of the Beatles catalog, along with Paul’s alter work. Rubin is master record producer himself and an obvious adoring fan. Loved this guy, and loved this show.
