New Orleans fans meet Paul and Linda McCartney.

In 1975, Paul and Linda McCartney came to New Orleans with Wings to record Venus and Mars at Allen Toussaint's famous Sea-Saint Studio. They immersed themselves in the city for several months, going to Mardi Gras with their children and enjoying local music as they worked on their album. Chance meetings led to blossoming acquaintances, and Crescent City fans of Wings and the Beatles had the rare chance to spend countless hours with the gracious stars, showing off their city and rubbing shoulders with rock royalty. This volume contains reminiscences of meeting Paul and Linda and scores of previously unpublished candid photographs, showcasing the couple's kind, down-to-earth nature. Lovers of this era of classic rock will enjoy this glimpse into the everyday life of the McCartneys.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

For a few lucky McCartney fans, early 1975 is a time they’ll never forget. Paul and Linda McCartney, with their band Wings, came to record their album Venus and Mars at New Orleans’ famous Sea-Saint Studio. Beatles buffs came by, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the most famous rock stars of the century. They were surprised to find their idols were down-to-earth and unpretentious, generous with their time and conversation. More than sixty candid photographs from their stay—most previously unpublished—accompany reminiscences from fans who got to know the McCartneys in the Crescent City. From taking the McCartney children to Mardi Gras to catching a ride from Paul, these stories and photographs show Paul and Linda at their most genuine.

Author and musician John Taylor fell in love with the music and style of the Beatles during their famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. As a teenager, he picked up a bass guitar just like Paul’s and has been playing ever since. A chance meeting outside of Sea-Saint Studio led to a months-long acquaintance with Paul and Linda McCartney and scores of pictures and conversations. Taylor plays with the Louisiana-based group The Meanies and lives outside of New Orleans.

About the Author

John Taylor is the bass player for the Meanies, a rock, funk, soul, and country band. A lifelong musician and prolific songwriter, Taylor is also a background actor and has appeared in more than forty movies, including Dallas Buyers Club. Taylor lives outside of his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.

What Fun

This is a remembrance of Paul McCartney visit to New Orleans in 1975. Local fans share stories of their encounters and share their pictures. As a fan and a New Orleanian I enjoyed this book.

I enjoyed the rare

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2015

Book arrived earlier than expected. Much smaller than I expected, but my fault, I didn't read the description close enough. Having said that, I enjoyed the rare, previously unseen photos. Nowadays that's becoming harder to come by, so I'd never want to discourage people from sharing those with fellow fans. A fun book about a period for Paul and Linda mostly known about only through news clips and their own released home videos. So it's always nice to hear firsthand accounts from others who were there.

I was stationed in Pensacola, Florida when Wings were in New Orleans. I wished I'd had the money to go there and try to see them. Like today's enlisted people, there's no extra money, especially when you're married with children. I had to have this book.

It seems like this has just a bunch of out of focus photos of people taking photos of Paul & Linda. I mean, great subject, but quality - meh.

It is fascinating to see when a huge myth meets the common ground . A short book but with pictures and text to make you feel you came across Paul and Linda yourself on the street .

Wings Over New Orleans: Unseen Photos of Paul...

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this only for the photos and information about Jimmy McCulloch, and this was scarcer than proverbial hen's teeth! A book based primarily on fan memories was a wonderful idea. The memory of Skelly Tempereau helped me identify her in the attached photo (taken by John Taylor) in which Jimmy very kindly posed with her for a few photos. She has yet to return the email a writer friend sent her about an interview.

Reviewed in Canada on August 13, 2023

Pictures are rare some never seen before but the reason for not giving it a five stars is the quality of the pictures somes are a bit out of focus but never the less never seen before you have to be a die hard fan. Like me that is why 4/5 stars I really like the fact that there is as many pictures of Linda McCartney .

ワクワクしました

Reviewed in Japan on August 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

この本は、1975年にウィングスがニューオーリンズのスタジオで、「Venus and Mars」をレコーディングした時の写真集です。彼らが数か月間滞在した間、連日スタジオの前で待ち構えていたファンが撮影したポールとリンダの写真や、その時彼らとファンが交流した思い出話で構成されています。平易な英文で書かれているので、私でも読むことができました。ポールやリンダの気さくな人柄がよく書かれています。写真は素人が撮ったものなので画質は悪いですが、逆に当時の雰囲気が良く出ていると思います。文も併せて読むと、まるで私もその場にいたような気分になりました。本を読んでこんなにワクワクしたのは、本当に久しぶりでした。

A lovely interesting book, only small but enough to give you an insight to fans experiences of meeting Paul and Linda. Takes me back to when I met them many years ago! This marked my 70th book on Paul and the Beatle's, so this was definitely a worth while purchase I recommend for fans of Paul.
