The McCartney Interview is a limited edition vinyl release, published in 1980 on the Parlophone label in the UK and Europe[1] and the following year on Columbia Records in North America.[2]. The album contains an interview of Paul McCartney by journalist Vic Garbarini, recorded for the magazine Musician in May 1980. The cover photography was taken by Linda McCartney.[3]. EMI engineers added a bonus “clue” to this album. It’s a little note from Paul that appears at the end of side two, in the outgroove, just before the needle lifts. If you play the outgroove backwards, Paul says: “I’m still a Walrus.”[4]
