SIGNED IN-PERSON BY PAUL MCCARTNEY ON TOUR MAY 21, 1993 WINNIPEG, MB CANADA
"THE SAVAGE YOUNG BEATLES" SAVAGE RECORDS 1964 (MONO) FEATURING PETE BEST ON DRUMS, THIS COLLECTION FEATURES SOME OF THE BEATLES' EARLIEST RECORDINGS MADE IN HAMBURG GERMANY 1961 INCLUDING TONY SHERIDAN.
I MET PAUL MCCARTNEY ON MAY 21, 1993 WHEN HIS CONCERT TOUR STOPPED TO PLAY IN WINNIPEG, MB CANADA. I WAS THEN WORKING AS A BROADCASTER AND MUSIC DIRECTOR WITH POWER 97, A WINNIPEG BASED ROCK STATION. MY MEETING PAUL MCCARTNEY WAS ARRANGED THROUGH EMI MUSIC CANADA - THE PARENT COMPANY OF CAPITOL RECORDS - PAUL MCCARTNEY'S LABEL. I WAS INVITED TO ACCOMPANY MY COLLEAGUE, HOWARD MANDSHEIN, WHO WAS GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE TO INTERVIEW PAUL FOLLOWING HIS AFTERNOON SOUND-CHECK PRIOR TO THE EVENING CONCERT. AT 4PM ON THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 21, 1993, HOWARD AND I WERE USHERED INTO WINNIPEG STADIUM TO WATCH PAUL MCCARTNEY AND HIS BAND REHEARSE A FEW SONGS WHILE CONDUCTING THEIR PRE-CONCERT SOUND CHECK. AT IT'S CONCLUSION, WE WERE ACCOMPANIED BY PAUL'S PRESS AGENT INTO A TRAILER WHERE WE WAITED TO RECEIVE PAUL FOR THE SCHEDULED INTERVIEW. TRUTH BE TOLD, MY FUNCTION WAS SIMPLY TO CARRY THE MIC BOOM AND ASSORTED ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES REQUIRED FOR RECORDING AND TRANSMITTING THE INTERVIEW LIVE. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY HIS PRESS AGENT THAT NO PICTURES WOULD BE PERMITTED AS THEY MAINTAINED STRICT CONTROL OVER USE OF HIS PUBLIC IMAGE. WE WERE HOWEVER PERMITTED TO SUBMIT ANY PERSONAL ITEMS TO BE SIGNED; I MYSELF HAD BROUGHT IN TWO PIECES, BOTH VINTAGE BEATLES ALBUMS. ONE WAS AN ORIGINAL CANADIAN PRESSING OF "SGT. PEPPER" WHICH I SOLD LAST OCTOBER ON EBAY, THE OTHER IS THE ITEM YOU ARE NOW CONSIDERING. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE INTERVIEW, PAUL WAS FORMALLY INTRODUCED BY HIS PRESS AGENT. HE TOOK AN IMMEDIATE INTEREST IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HAVING CLAIMED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ITEM BEFORE. "...WHERE DID YOU GET THIS"?? HE ASKED ME WITH THAT FAMILIAR LIVERPUDLIAN ACCENT. THOUGH NERVOUS, I PROVIDED SOME DETAILS ON THE HISTORICAL OF THIS ALBUM RELEASE AND HE PROCEEDED TO SIGN THE ALBUM WITH A BLACK SHARPIE (SEE PHOTOS). OUR TIME WITH PAUL LASTED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. I REMEMBER HE APPEARED TIRED, THOUGH HE WAS EXTREMELY CORDIAL. HIS WIFE LINDA MADE A BRIEF APPEARANCE IN A PINK JUMP SUIT AND BROUGHT HER HUSBAND A "SPOT OF TEA".
IN LIEU OF A C.O.A. (CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY), I HAVE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL IMAGES OF MY CONCERT TICKET AND BACKSTAGE PASS ISSUED ME THROUGH EMI MUSIC CANADA FOR THE OCCASION. I TRUST THIS WILL FURTHER VALIDATE MY TESTIMONIAL AS FACTUAL REGARDING MY MEETING PAUL MCCARTNEY AND THE PROCUREMENT OF HIS SIGNATURE. I AM STILL WORKING AS AN ACTIVE BROADCASTER IN THE WINNIPEG MARKET WHICH YOU CAN VERIFY THROUGH MY LINKEDIN PAGE UNDER THE NAME "FRANK ANDREWS". IT WILL ALSO CORROBORATE MY WORKING FOR POWER 97 AT THE TIME THE MCCARTNEY CONCERT TOOK PLACE.
