Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As the first full account of the Beatle years by a Beatle, Many Years from Now is unique. This is J Paul McCartney's story--as told to Miles--of life right at the epicentre of the 1960s hurricane. Covering the glory years, the 600-odd pages offer a first-hand, insider's account of the most influential and widely-imitated band of all time, making this a fascinating fly-on-the-wall chronicle.

Miles is good at putting McCartney's memoirs into context, but it's the material from the horse's mouth which is really revealing. We learn how the teenage Macca fantasised about a future as "a Catholic lorry driver. Very simple life, a firm faith and a place to go in my nice lorry"; and of his realisation that National Service, had it continued for just a few more weeks, would have left the Beatles stillborn: "Ringo and John being the oldest would have had to go, followed shortly by me and then a year later by George, and that would have split any chance of being a group".

But perhaps most rewarding of all are the stories behind the music forged by the Lennon & McCartney partnership, including Paul's memories of driving down to see John at his Weybridge mansion, where together they would fashion the songs that will be sung for all time. --Patrick Humphries

Product Description
Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Barry Miles, and complete access to McCartney's archives, this is Paul McCartney in his own words. It covers his life with the Beatles, the music, the drugs, the women, the Maharashi, the love, the peace, and also his relationship with John Lennon.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtfull, engrossing about a living Legend, 24 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I believe Many Years from now is one of the finest examples of high profile autobiography I have read last year. If you are a keen beatles fan (who isn't) this really as a must have as 95% of the book is about the whole sixties and how Macca remembers every song, album, event that shaped the beatles carrer and mtythology. He doesn't actually write it rather he gives his account in the form of interviews. The novel is split into about 7 or 8 chapters and a few examples are his childhood, then later Hamburg, The Cavern, The whole American experience, The Whole Drug experience, Sgt. Peeper, ect. One of my favourite chapter is called John were he describes the relationship he had then and how he remembers now. He talks very openly about the friendship, the breakup, the riverly and the love he had and has for John. The book dicusses practacally every song they wrote togther and influnces that shaped the song. it is and aborbing read with no beatles event overlooked. Its really a rememberence and it seems as Paul McCartney is finally at grips with his past and in this book he show us how hes came througth the wole experience still believing th at the love he took was equal to the love he made. Before I read this book I always believed McCartney to be a Iron willed, extremelly wealthy, 55yr old, egotistical genuis of pop when reading this book u see he has many strings to his bow and the overall message is "hey I was in The beatles too u'know" and we are left in no doubt of the fact but he does it with a grace, thoughtfullness and most emgrossing way that u can't poosibly not admire. A showman to the end. the Walrus really was Paul!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 8 Sep 2003
A sensitive and honest account of Pauls life as a boy, with the Beatles and beyond. A very interesting read - even for those who think they've read everything there is to read on The Beatles! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many years from now....I'll read this again!, 14 Dec 2000
By Paula Suckling (Georgetown, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Exhilerating honesty on Paul's part, I didn't know about half of the things he related and what eyeopeners they were! For an ex-Londoner who was around in the sixties and seventies this book is a time travel machine to nostalgia, an absolute must for any Beatles fan and a great companion to the new Anthology book released earlier this year. The stories and history surrounding Paul's interviews are informative, interesting and very well written, it is a book that is hard to put down!
