Paul McCartney's brother - Mike Mac’s White and Blacks, plus one color

Collector's Item for any Paul McCartney and/or Beatles fan! Mike Mac’s White and Blacks by Michael McCartney, An Intimate Portrait of Liverpool in the ‘60s. Originally published in 1986, Paul McCartney's brother, Michael, a photographer since childhood, took pictures of his older brother, Paul, beginning in 1954 and continuing to snap as the Beatles (at the time consisting of John, Paul, George and Pete Best) became the fave rave at Liverpool's Cavern Club. Here he presents 71 of those photographs along with nostalgic and humorous captions. Backstage Beatle shots predominate, and other performers appear including Jerry Lee Lewis, actress Jane Asher, Gene Vincent, Rory Storm and Little Richard. The most affecting images are the shots at the McCartney house in the Allerton section of Liverpool, Paul in his wallpapered bedroom grooming for a gig, practicing on a guitar beneath a clothesline heavy with wash, climbing a backyard drain pipe above a trash heap. As Puttnam observes, these snapshots make this book "a very special time machine." Excellent condition!
