Welcome Back 2Legs Fam!

This week we present another Interview Archive Series with Macca. When we do this we try to cherry pick rare and not often seen/discussed interviews. It's late 1987. Paul is riding the wave of success of his 2nd career spanning compilation "All The Best!". He has also been making the rounds on TV shows in Europe to promote his top selling single 'Once Upon A Long Ago' (also included on the UK "All The Best!" only). In the (audio only) interview conducted by Stefan Schlabritz & Slizzy Bob we hear Paul joke about his skills in the german language, the tracks chosen for All The Best!, working with Elvis Costello and Chris Witten to start a new band, and Once Upon A Long Ago. He also discusses his Sgt. Pepper nostalgic pastiche "Return To Pepperland" and compares it with George's 'When We Was Fab'. Something not heard again much from Macca. He also outlines the vision for what will become "The Beatles Anthology" documentary was was only a few years away from happening.

We close out the episode with an alternate mimed performance of 'Once Upon A Long Ago' from the German TV Programme Wetten Das.

See you guys after the 4th of July!

Peace Andy & Tom
