Paul McCartney Says Prince Recorded a Beatles Cover That He’d Like to Release: ‘He Plays Some Really Good Guitar On It’

Macca ran down his favorite songs and offered opinions after meeting Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter at a party.

You’d think that after more than 60-plus years of doing press that Paul McCartney would have run out of anecdotes to share. But you’d be wrong. The indefatigable former Beatle and solo superstar managed to pull a doozy out of his hat during a recent chat with Vernon Kay on BBC Radio’s Tracks of My Years show, in which McCartney ran down the ten songs that connected his Liverpool childhood to the Beatles global fame through his wistful new solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

And while it was interesting to hear McCartney, 83, describe how Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-A-Lula” — the first album he ever bought — helped inspire how the Beatles thought about presenting their music, from B-sides to single packaging, the real revelation came when he casually dropped a wee tale about the Prince cover of a Beatles song that never was.
