About

From RazMatazMagazine:

On this day in 1972, Paul and Linda McCartney were arrested backstage in Gothenburg, Sweden, for possession of six ounces of marijuana, which was mailed to them by someone in McCartney’s office who thought they would enjoy some weed while on the road.

The couple was released after paying a combined fine of $1,200.

From YES — Wings 1971–73 – The final book in the package is an exclusive Wings Over Europe photo book created to document Wings’ tour across Europe in 1972. It contains previously unseen images by Linda McCartney and Paul’s written memories of the tour. The cover of the book is hand screen-printed with a cloth bound spine. The book cover was inspired by the original flyer from the tour, which had Paul’s face and Allen Jones painting on it.
