Paul McCartney • Interview (Beatles’ Early Career) • 1964 [Reelin' In The Years Archive] 

Congratulations to you for having the autograph of the REAL Paul McCartney. It will rise in value if the truth ever will come out.

I bet it looks different to Billys autograph.

Wow lucky.

❤❤❤

Which hand did he sign it with?

and in 2 years he's replaced by Billy

It’s so unfair that Paul had such exquisite looks to go with such exquisite talent, lol. But my eyes and ears say thank you!! 😉

@@thesilvershining I am with you on that! Totally AGREE!

The James Paul McCartney

He's so perfect, isn't he? Sigh!

Well said. So true.

unlike the current look a like

And that was the life William did make for himself when he replaced JPM "as an already set up affair" late 1966.

I find it incredible and almost unbelievable that today, in 2024, he still has the drive and passion to make and perform music that he did way back then. Hell, even if I love a craft, I begin to get a bit ancy to do something else after 3-5 years of it being my main thing. What he’s done and the fact that he is still doing it with the same unbridled passion consistently is just amazing. He and Ringo have done a great job of in 9:11 keeping the Beatles top of mind with new generations. And they come across as so damned 9:11 genuine. Paul would have every good excuse to be a pompous asshole after all his success,talent and presence to intimidate. But no, he seems all but that on his talk and more importantly his actions. Smart, wise, crafty, industry slick guy who knows how to present himself and does it so well I do believe it is absolutely genuine. It’s going to be a sad, sad day when we lose one of music’s greatest, most driven yet genuinely humble and grounded geniuses. I love the din of a b**ch. I really do.

"Dude"??? That's Paul McCartney to you. Have some goddamn respect.

Some people age differently. Also, recording equipment improves in time.

I wish I was that mature at 21...to take the magnitude of it all all psychologically, speak so eloquently, and still have room for humility is breathtaking. Will-I-Am is a total dk in comparison and I get why JL was the first to crack in the end and get aggro with Will-I-Am. I think I would have done the same!!!! George and Ringo were always behind JL. The OG 3 were all trapped inside an artificial product they no longer had control over and were being handled. JL sabotaged it all to give the OG 3 an out. JL killed The Beatles and "they" didn't forgive him for it, or forget, they made JL's life a total hell, he couldn't travel back to England to visit his Aunt, or son, and then the cowards took him out. Spineless, control freak cowards...the lot of them. RIP Paul, John, George. I really hope Ringo outlives Will-I-Am so het gets to spew the truth into mainstream before he pops his clogs. Now...that would be one hell of a Netflix limited series. Yeesh!!!!!

Very different from "Sir Paul" (William).

​​​@@OlskZeri-tc5ni Don't you think William should speak out now. Dude's in his 80s and time is running out for him😳

And so do you in noticing, Sharon.

Aww - that's very kind of you. @@claradiaz3147

​@@nadiachristiansen7599Man of the 1000 voices speaking perfectly loud!

What was that? Sorry, couldn't hear! 🙉

Maybe there was a football game outside. Or Ringo was dancing for the crowds

Hysteria!

I hate to sound sexist but man, women really don't help themselves with the whole "women are irrational and hysterically emotional" trope at times.

@@Dryhten1801 That does sound sexist alright.

People were more mature in 60s in that age.

@@Wayne_Schlagel indeed, people by 17 were married

Totally - a beautiful old soul!

Yes, agreed. I find it astounding that he wrote ‘yesterday’ at such a young age

C mon..this was 60 years ago. Ofc people were so much deferent back then.

It was a global phenomenon a pandemic is a disease

@@Wayne_Schlagel. What in the world are you talking about?

I get that all the time too 😅👍

Too bad that he died 24 years old.

​@@OlskZeri-tc5ni Agreed. From St Peppers and beyond The Beatles were nothing more than a rotating ensemble of actors.

​@@OlskZeri-tc5niThat's like saying JFK died in 1963. Like Kennedy, Paul was murdered. (We both know that, of course.)

Had is the word. Sadly he is dead.

​@@OlskZeri-ip1xr What?? No he isnt??

@@HaeRineka No, he's not. There's a crazy death cuIt which has no evidence, and I've seen many siIIy manipuIated videos about it. One I saw recentIy showed George taIking about the dentist friend dropping acid in his coffee and he had his first "trip." That's aII he he was taIking about, but it was posted as "proof" PauI is "dead".

@@HaeRinekaHe isn’t, there’s just a conspiracy that he is. It’s not true, it’s extremely stupid.

​@@HaeRineka pay no heed to the absurdists. Paul McCartney is alive and well turning 82 in two days ❤

William have not behaved that way in interviews. For starters the real JPM would not have commented Lennons death with a cold "It's a drag". William's personality is different than JPM's. William have unlike Paul a big ego.

Paul McCartney died in 1966. End of story.

I agree, Paul Father seems like a wonderful man, especially still being such a positve force after his wife (and Pauls Mum) passed away. I find Pauls Dad a fascinating character.

And Yesterday was written by the real JPM not "Sir Paul" who is just Another day.

@@OlskZeri-tc5niwritten by tavisstock and George Martin. He didn’t write it.

​@@OlskZeri-tc5niLennon McCartney duo is also a myth.

Kate Bush wrote number 1 hits at the age of 15. 💁🏻‍♂️

​@@user-wy4wp1np9z Dave Gilmour made it all for her. Just like George Martin wrote The Beatles' songs.

He's the one who always loved performing. And still does.

he did use that a lot but not nearly as much as billy/the man you know as paul mccartney today

if you don't believe me i'll just ask you this: how did paul supposedly grew like 2 1/2 inches and his shoe size changed from 8 to 9.5 since december 1966 while him being 24?

@@jonasrmb01 NPC type comment

It's pre-stoner, pre-cocaine Paul

Unlike "Sir Paul" who is in love with himself.

@@olskzeri2723 🎯 👍🏻

He is quite humble and I think that is what John, George and Ringo really loved about Paul (#1.)

@@chrisnolan5607 💛 👍🏻

@@olskzeri2723 faul happened and the unmistakably deft and sharp character we see in this video, was made nothing more than a cheap replica albeit with continued song writing prowess, whether real or manufactured.

I know right!

🤤🤤🤤🤤

He was cute.

No he is not that pretty

@@edenflavio6043 are you kidding? Why else would they call him 'the cute one'?

Real Paul was a humble guy. "Sir Paul" (William) is nothing like him. William have a huge ego.

Real JPM loved touring but not travelling. If JPM had lived after late 1966 he would have retired. But now it is the charade of old William. A man that cannot stop touring or making music. And William is not a people's person like JPM was.

@@OlskZeri-tc5ni Please take a long walk off a short pier - no one is interested in that b.s.

​@@OlskZeri-tc5ni Bit of a stupid theory. Anyway, even if it's a fake Paul, it didn't stop him from changing the world of music.

Absolutely. Very keen mind coupled with emotional intelligence and of course so skilled with the charm and gab. Very Gemini.

@@OlskZeri-tc5ni You're absolutely correct. Don't listen to the naysayers who think it's all crazy. This interview of real Paul shows what he was really like and how much he changed after 1966. It's like night and day, but if you don't want to see it, you'll call it b.s. I'm hoping one day soon they'll all know the truth.

@tony George had fewer occasions to be interviewed until after he became a soloist. ...of all the 4, I always found George the most relatable. Paul's dreamy elegance is almost ethereal - I can understand why he fell in love with an equally imaginative, elegant actress: a soulmate. Of all who suffered Paul's loss, Ms Asher had the worst of it because her ideal FUTURE was destroyed - including loss of the children that were not born to them.

​@@rmp7400Who was Ms Asher?

​@@teocantsleep4611Jane Asher, Paul's gf in early Beatles days

Paul never had a solocareer. It was William in "Wings".

The Beatles arrived in Australia on 11 June 1964, not 18 June. He and John had already written several classic songs by then, go listen to the 3 albums and several singles they had made by the time of this tour.

@@arnapresland2745 hate to break it to you but it is highly unlikely that Lennon & McCartney wrote any pre 1967 Beatles songs apart from Love Me Do )and maybe PS I Love You) As Lennon told you the Beatles are a myth and McCartney is myth just like Dylan is a myth

@@arnapresland2745 Mike Williams made a very concise presentation of why it was impossible for the Beatles to have written any songs from Rubber Soul

​​​​​@@jonasrmb01 CIA & their Frankfurt School indeed had influence in the lives of the Beatles... however, harmonies were their own - and stunningly mesmerizing! (If I fell, Things We Said Today...) Very clear🔔 beautiful young masculine voices that blended into amazing harmonies.🎶🎵🎤 Was there anything like it on the American scene? No equivalent...? NO... especially not the "surfer," the "folkie" or the later Motown "sounds".

Definitely the real Paul. This new guy ain't Paul

Paul was the first Beatle that grabbed my attention. He looked like some Disney prince!

@Pauline Morgan Thank You and to Liverpool for sharing such a great talent musician and songwriter.

Are most men over there as gorgeous and FINE as this young man?

@@olgafigueroa2909 I wish!!!!! But unfortunately - NO! x

I think Paul McCartney is one of the most beautiful and fascinating people who ever lived. I am in constant awe of him.

Only a very few. Most are still asleep. 😌

Much more genuine and not an ounce of arrogance there.

​@@susanrutherford866oh you are soooo enlightened! Ode to you, praise for believing and spreading the most ABSURD "theory" ever 🙄🙄🙄

The parting on the left became the parting on the right.

Sadly that songwriting team ended too early.

Sir Paul is a different person

Interesting questions, and Paul's answers were also great!

This was the Australian press on their Australian tour.

Real Paul was special. William is nothing like him.

same

This man is beautiful and ethereal! He answers the questions thoughtfully and also smikes❤

At least.. you are alive. He died at 24.

"Sir Paul" (William) is not the same JPM as in this video.

It's Billy today different in so many respects

But JPM's replacement late 1966 could read music.

@@olskzeri1476 Nope. Still can't read music.

​@@loosilu Well yes because he is dead lol

@@loosilu yes Beatle Bill is a professionally musically trained composer and multiinstrumentalist

@@jonasrmb01 Paul's voice had over 4 octaves and so does "Billy". That's freakishly rare, putting paul in the top ten vocal ranges of all rock singers. You cannot be trained to have that range, you have to be born with it.

The real Paul was something else compared to William.

Imagine that someone replaced this man in an already set up affair and went from a nobody to the worlds most famous men.

Did he imagine that nearly 60 years later, he’d still be the worlds most famous man and he’d still be writing songs and still touring the world, what an amazing and inspiring life this man has and is still living…

The first Paul generally was relaxed and easygoing

​@@OldSchoolVibes1978 the same Paul you mean?

@@patcola7335 Sorry but are those 'Faul' people really sane? I mean, they're so obsessed, lol ~

Sadly he died young late 1966. You confuse "Yesterday" with "Another day".

Indeed 😍 💖

Paul was handsome. But "Sir Paul" (William) is not him.

@gussiegreen4036 Liverpool, not London.

William's Frog song is not that impressive.

It’s almost as if they’re not the same human being.

He just changed, just like everyone else…

@@spacecowboy1933 yeah he was replaced. That was the big change.

Polar opposites - Paul & Faul.

So different, maybe because this is 60 years ago

Me too!

The real deal to 100 percent.

And he still is real.

Same ♥️

Real JPM was a class act. Not like "Sir Paul" (William).

Yes he was💙💓🩷 Miss him so much😔💔😭🙏

And sadly he would die in a terrible car accident two years later

He was honest for once.

Oh really that's interesting 🤔🤔🤔

My God, we're living in stupid times.

With a dead man.

Sadly Paul lived a short life.

@@OlskZeri-ip1xr that’s just a myth. Don’t believe everything you see online

@All Law What??? John too???

@All Law wrong

Real Paul McCartney was a very intelligent young man.

❤

Ok I didn't know that

Ha ha !! 🎯

Paul was working class, not middle class. He was thirteen years old before his family even had an indoor toilet. Paul's mother was very concerned about her son's moving up in the world and encouraged them (as she herself spoke with a more genteel accent) to not speak with the heavy Liverpool accent. Paul was bright and was accepted into a relatively prestigious high school in Liverpool called The Liverpool Institute High School that educated its students with the same refinements as schools like Eton and Harrow where he would have also been influenced by their more subtle accents.

McCartney never spoke with abroad Scouse accent. Btw, his mum(the breadwinner in the family) was a midwife so the family had some privileges like the best possible council house in pristine Allerton and she gave birth to him in a private ward. But if any Beatle was middle-class, it was Lennon who was brought up in leafy Woolton.

@@ulfibonkers3205 Thank you so much for this rare and private information. 🙂

don't we all?

Which one ? The real Paul McCartney or his replacement William.

@@OlskZeri-ip1xr He didn't die. Of course it's the real one.

Because the later interviews is with William pretending to be Paul McCartney.

@@OlskZeri-tc5ni the interview comparison '66 to '67 is HUGE

​@@OlskZeri-tc5niI think he knew that. Don't we all? (Most of us do anyway.) It's a striking difference in personalities between young Paul here and the other guy just a few years later. Not even close.

yeah because everything in his life changed drastically in those few years he even was introduced to drugs obviously he changed as a person but he kept his talent and intelligence

@@antonella93 lol

If you really loved JPM then you would be aware that he is dead.

Real Paul McCartney was humble and cared for his fans.

They are two different people. Rip Paul

I've studied enough to know that they're two different people but after buying that Billy Shears is a totally unrelated person, I'm beginning to suspect that the Paul from 1962-1966 one one McCartney brother and the one since 1967 is the other brother. In other words one is Paul and one is Mike. Even when I was 9 years old I noticed how the two brothers in photos from when they were 6 year olds (or younger) seemed to be about the same size and age.

Same. I thought the idea was crazy at first but when you dig deeper the evidence only gets more compelling the further you go. I'll conceed that Paul might not have been replaced as I admittedly I don't know everything, but I personally believe that he was.

@@Akhenatonification I have wondered about this theory. There is a photo with their mum, sitting on a little hill and they look like twins. Is it possible? The man they put out there as Mike, JPM’s brother, looks nothing like Paul. There are also photos of Billy in the entourage as they all returned to London after the first U.S. tour. There is a resemblance between JPM and Billy. After plastic surgery one can see how Billy could have replaced Paul. But there are obvious differences.The souls are completely different, IMHO. This footage validates it. Let me know what you think.

JPM stopped touring in 1966. William is still touring under the "Paul McCartney" name.

I'm telling you with complete sincerity you need to take your meds.
