Mad Day Out, 1968.

Paul: "We nearly always went up to his little music room that he’d had built at the top of the house, Daddy’s room, where we would get away from it all. I like to get away from people to songwrite, I don’t like to do it in front of people. It’s like sex for me, I was never an orgy man. So John and I would sit down and by then it might be one or two o'clock, and by four or five o'clock we’d be done".

“In the spring of 1974, Paul stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. There he met Lennon and the two ended up at the studio for a jam session. Soon after that, McCartney wrote the track Call Me Back Again on electric piano, reportedly he intended it as an invocation to his friend, and at first he even thought to make that clear in the lyrics. During the recordings, Paul apparently changed his mind, but rumours say that he mentioned John’s name in some of the takes.”

"We reached Old Street roundabout and I just asked them to get up on it. Once they were on the roundabout they obviously thought they might as well do something and performed completely spontaneously for me. You can’t direct people like that. The choreography was theirs. The taxi drivers couldn’t believe it as they came round and caught this free show."

"He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all the humanity, all the wit and humour, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him."
