About
A 24-year old American girl, Carolyne Mitchell, filed a complaint against Paul McCartney, after a dispute with him near his High Park Farm, in Scotland.
I was bruised when Paul chased me away from his High Park Farm at Campbeltown, Argyll. I’ve seen Paul at his London flat a few times when I’ve waited around there. Then I thought he was nice. I came up to Scotland last year after he bought this farm and saw him again. Last weekend, I booked into a Campbeltown boarding house, hoping to catch a glimpse of Paul and his family in the town. I made friends with his neighbour on the next farm on my last trip here, and went to visit them. Paul came driving up in his jeep and hit me and shouted at me to keep away. I complained to the local police after the incident. I won’t be back. I think he’s nasty.”

All I did was chase her away. I never touched her. If she’s injured, she must have fallen on the way down the hill. I moved here for peace and quiet, not to have cranks and sightseers around. If I didn’t try to stop girls invading the privacy of my home here, I’d never get rid of them.

A BEATLES’ GIRL FAN COMPLAINS TO POLICE ABOUT PAUL
A FANATICAL Beatles fan, who has “shadowed” Paul McCartney for three years, has complained to the police that he attacked her near his farm in Scotland. Paul denies it.
The fan is American Carolyn Mitchell, a 24-year-old Mormon from Salt Lake City, Utah. She claims that Paul attacked her as she sat on a hill overlooking his farm near Campbeltown, Argyle, and made her nose bleed.
She said yesterday: “Paul came out of the house and drove up in his Land-Rover. He jumped out and begun shouting and swearing. I don’t remember much about what happened. but my nose was bleeding.”
Pleading
But last night, Paul, 29, said: “For three years now, I have been asking her politely – pleading with her – to leave me and my family alone. She refuses to recognise that I am married with a family. When I saw her sitting looking down on us, that was the end. This time I told her to go away—and not, politely. I admit it. I was rude. The words I used were very rough, but there was no rough stuff.”
A Campbeltown police spokesman confirmed last night that a complaint had been made.

The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After The Break-Up 1970-2001
"An updated edition of the best-seller. The story of what happened to the band members, their families and friends after the 1970 break-up is brought right up to date. A fascinating and meticulous piece of Beatles scholarship."
We owe a lot to Keith Badman for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles after the break-up and how their stories intertwined together!
The Beatles - The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2
This edition of the book compiles more outrageous opinions and unrehearsed interviews from the former Beatles and the people who surrounded them. Keith Badman unearths a treasury of Beatles sound bites and points-of-view, taken from the post break up years. Includes insights from Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Barbara Bach and many more.
Maccazine - Volume 40, Issue 3 - RAM Part 1 - Timeline
This very special RAM special is the first in a series. This is a Timeline for 1970 – 1971 when McCartney started writing and planning RAM in the summer of 1970 and ending with the release of the first Wings album WILD LIFE in December 1971. [...] One thing I noted when exploring the material inside the deluxe RAM remaster is that the book contains many mistakes. A couple of dates are completely inaccurate and the story is far from complete. For this reason, I started to compile a Timeline for the 1970/1971 period filling the gaps and correcting the mistakes. The result is this Maccazine special. As the Timeline was way too long for one special, we decided to do a double issue (issue 3, 2012 and issue 1, 2013).
Maccazine - Volume 47, Issue 1 - The birth of Wings
"Maccazine is a hard copy magazine (a bound paperback) about Paul McCartney. It is published twice a year. Due to the fact that the Internet has taken over the world and the fact that the latest Paul McCartney news is to be found on hundreds of websites, we have decided to focus on creating an informative paper magazine about Paul McCartney."
"In this issue we take you back to the early days of Paul McCartney’s solo career when he decided to form a new group. With Wings he proved there was life after The Beatles. This Maccazine features a detailed timeline of ‘the birth’ of the band with interesting entries including many new facts and unpublished photos. Follow-up timelines will be published in the upcoming years."
