In a behind the scenes look at the making of Paul McCartney’s celebrity-filled new video Queenie Eye (out 10/24) the Beatle legend returns to Abbey Road studios. Starting at the 2:30 mark Paul talks about The Beatles first time in the studio and recording Love Me Do:

I’m in Abbey Road, first time ever, and I’ve got to take this lead vocal line, and I know that all the guys back in Liverpool in all the other groups are going to kill me, because it’s not my line. It’s John’s line.
