In the half-century since its release, McCartney has been praised for its homemade nature, which gives it the charm that Paul saw in it all along. The next day’s Daily Mirror ran the front-page headline “Paul Quits The Beatles.” If Paul wanted to ensure that his debut solo album didn’t go unnoticed, he could hardly have done more. Q: Do you foresee a time when Lennon-McCartney becomes an active songwriting partnership again? Temporary or permanent? I don’t really know. Q: Is your break with The Beatles temporary or permanent, due to personal differences or musical ones?Ī: Personal differences, business differences, musical differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family. Being a solo album means it’s “the start of a solo career…” and not being done with The Beatles means it’s just a rest. Q: Is this album a rest away from The Beatles or the start of a solo career?Ī: Time will tell. Q: Are you planning a new album or single with the Beatles? As well as talking about the new album, he spoke about The Beatles’ future – or lack of it. In this press release, which was sent with promotional copies of his self-titled debut solo album, Paul answered questions he assumed he would have been asked had he done a press conference. What McCartney failed to mention to Lennon was that he had just sent a “self-interview” to the nation’s press, all but informing them that The Beatles were over. Now McCartney, too, had decided to up sticks. Lennon had told the group of his own intention to leave the group back in September 1969, though, by mutual agreement, no announcement was made. On April 9, 1970, McCartney phoned John Lennon to tell him that he was quitting the band.
