Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair’s definitive exploration of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles career commenced with “The McCartney Legacy: Volume 1: 1969-1973“, published in December 2022. This acclaimed work is widely regarded as the most authoritative account of Paul’s life and music following the breakup of the Fab Four.

The second instalment, covering the years 1974-1980, was released on December 10, 2024, by Dey Street Books.


The follow-up to The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, the most complete work on the life and work of Paul McCartney ever published. Volume 2 continues to paint the portrait of one of the world’s greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980.

By 1974 the Beatles were a distant memory, and Paul McCartney had already gone on to release a solo album and form a new band, Wings. By the end of the decade Wings would be the bestselling band of the 1970s. The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 2 begins in 1974 at the height of Wings popularity and the beginning of McCartney’s next chapter.

Picking up immediately after The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, authors Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair have brought the same exhaustive research ethos to Volume 2 that made the first volume a critical success. Arguably the most authoritative text on the life of Paul McCartney, Volume 2 follows McCartney the man, establishing himself as a musician beyond Beatlemania and his legacy throughout the 20th century through the present day.
