It’s third quarter 2011 , but no one seems particularly surprised that a band which recorded from 1962 to 1970 has the most popular album eleven years into the 21st century . Made up exclusively of the 27 songs that hit #1 in either the UK or USA, Beatles 1 has sold 31 million copies since its release in Fall 2000 , proving unequivocally that it is simply impossible to overestimate the timeless appeal of Paul McCartney ,Ringo Starr, John Lennon ,and Gorge Harrison . And with McCartney’s upcoming 9/11 film documentary coming to Showtime September 10 , Martin Scorsese‘s George Harrison documentary Living in the Material World airing on HBO October 5-6 , and Harrison’s new biographical book with the same title releasing now , the time seemed obvious to present Paul McCartney, along with comments from my two Harrison interviews , in this first of two classic rock interviews In The Studio. -Redbeard
