An intimate look at one of the greatest music legends of all time, by an iconic photojournalist. From the delirium of the Beatles’ 1964 U.S. tour to the heady, shaggy days of WINGS in the 1970s and the quiet idyll of life on the family farm in the early 1990s, Paul traces the evolution of a pop superstar and of the man himself through more than 100 photographs, many never seen before.

Maybe I’m Amazed
A personal portrait of Paul McCartney by Harry Benson
Harry Benson began photographing the young Paul McCartney in 1964, a pivotal year for the Beatles when they took America by storm, toured the world, and made their movie debut with A Hard Day’s Night—all documented by the affable Scotsman. And when the Fab Four called it quits, it was Benson who was afforded intimate access to Paul and wife Linda, as Paul forged a new path creatively and personally.Through Benson’s lens, Paul traces the evolution of its namesake as an icon, performer, and a devoted family man. We follow the musician at the height of his fame with the Beatles; in the recording studio with Linda and their band, Wings; with the family; behind the scenes and on stage during the 1975–76 “Wings Over America” tour; dancing the night away at a star-studded party on the Queen Mary to celebrate the band’s newest album; and with Linda on the couple’s farm in the U.K. in the early 1990s—a fittingly soft landing after so many years of flying high.
Featuring more than 100 color and black-and-white images by the legendary photojournalist, many never seen before, this collection is a window onto a one-of-a-kind artist, one who has remained somewhat enigmatic despite nearly a lifetime of being in the limelight.

Beautiful Book
Andrew, October 31, 2021
Another beautiful book by Taschen. Beautiful photographs in an amazing package. The book was packaged extremely well too. Very happy - as always…
Even Better Than I Expected
Tony, October 28, 2021
This the second book by Harry Benson about the Beatles (although in this case just Paul) that I have. It is spectacular. You cannot take your eyes of of the images, they are so real. Once you start paging through the book you cannot stop. The text is very good and informative, but the images are the real story. Highly Recommended!
Stunning

Just a beautiful book in every way. Benson’s photographs are stunning. This will be a wonderful addition to my collection.
Top book

Taschen is always the best, but this time they outdid themselves. The book is simply gorgeous and the photos are a feast for the eyes. Having the chance to go behind the scenes of Sir Paul McCartney's career with Harry Benson is truly a great privilege.
One of a kind artist

See one of a kind photos of a one of a kind artist, in both his public and private moments. This treasury of images is not to be missed!
Very well-executed overview of one of popular music's founding fathers

Hint - get a Taschen display-stand to go with it. You don’t want this stunner to hide away on your bookshelf.
Print quality and execution of the perspex cover are outstanding. The value to money-ratio may be open for discussion, but you’ll own a piece of musical history with Benson’s signature on it. Only downside is, that it somewhat overlaps with Benson’s Taschen Beatles-book.
Still didn’t keep me from ordering one. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
