The Contributors
These books would not have been possible without the contribution of many friends and fellow McCartney fans. Here, I give credit to their help in Volumes One and Two. I like to think of these books as true collaborative works.

Was a pleasure helping out on both books and the first is a very enjoyable read as am sure the 2nd one will be from the bits I checked over
Thanks, Marcus, your help was much appreciated. I hope to get you a book very soon!
A pleasure to be involved. Your books are unlike any other McCartney books and trust me, i’ve read a few. The musical breakdown of the songs is fascinating and leaves the reader with a better idea of what they have been listening to for all these years.
Thanks, Roy – your photos and accounts bring the book to life. And who could forget that photo of Robbo?
