A Paul McCartney album revisiting classic Beatles tracks with help from members of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and his old Fab Four bandmates should have been a slam dunk. Instead, the messy, unfocused Give My Regards to Broad Street caused McCartney’s decade-long winning streak to come to a crashing halt. McCartney entered the ’80s on a high note with the chart-topping solo albums McCartney II and Tug of War, followed by the Top 5 hit Pipes of Peace. In late 1982, McCartney began working on a film titled Give My Regards to Broad Street, which chronicles a day in the life of the cute Beatle as he tracks down the missing master tapes for his new album.
