Give My Regards to Broad Street

Give My Regards To Broad Street is regarded as being one of the former Beatle’s few missteps over the years and remains unreleased on DVD, Blu Ray or streaming 40 years later. The film centres around a fictional day in the life of McCartney, who wrote the film for the screen with himself, Ringo Starr and Linda McCartney all appearing as themselves.

The highlight has to be his collaboration with Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on ‘No More Lonely Nights’ where the Floyd man took the plaudits for a guitar solo of the highest margins. The track would go on to top the UK Charts and then receive nominations by both the Golden Globes and BAFTA. The soundtrack also featured a whopping reworking of ‘Ballroom Dancing’ with Led Zeppelin’s Jon Paul Jones taking on bass duty in an unlikely collaboration which is utterly brilliant. It also features many Beatles classics such as ‘Yesterday’, ‘Eleanor Rigby’, ‘For No One’ and ‘Here, There and Everywhere’.
