Paul McCartney: John Lennon Has Spoiled Me

Sir Paul McCartney has been speaking of his songwriting partnership with John Lennon and says that collaborations are now always a problem because he was spoiled by working with the legend.

The Beatle was speaking ahead of the release of his new album ‘Memory Almost Full’ and said that collaborations have continually left him with a feeling of disappointment.

Macca said: "It's a funny subject the collaboration thing because I collaborated with John and you're a little bit spoiled after that. That was one hell of a collaboration.

"I've done it quite a bit since and, I think - and I hate to say it - there's inevitably a sense of disappointment because it was just so cool for John and me to be working together, because we started so young and knew each other's ways and minds."

He continued: "I'm a little bit wary of collaborating with other people because it doesn't happen as easily or as amazingly as it did with John. Our collaboration was very intuitive, very fast and it always just worked - there was never a dull moment."
