Pseudonym used by Paul McCartney
You recorded your first album (McCartney) under the pseudonym BILLY MARTIN.
Well, sometimes if you don’t want people to know that you’re recording at a place – it’s quite widely done now – you use a fake name. For two reasons, really: fun and privacy. I think there’s a big character in American baseball called Billy Martin so that’s where the name came from.
