I was 18 when I wrote this article back in 1993 for The Elvis Beat #4, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

Paul McCartney, a former member of the Beatles who now has a successful solo career, appeared on a radio talk show in February during which he was asked about his feelings on bootleg recordings.

He replied that he had both positive and negative feelings towards them. Each time a bootleg is sold, it is as if the artist had went to work and not been paid, he stated.

On the other hand, McCartney said, “If I had been offered some sort of an Elvis Presley bootleg back in his early days, I probably would have snatched it right up since I was such a big, mad fan of his.”
