Glad you enjoyed it HOTPE!

"......many 5th Beatles (and self appointed)"

As for me, back in 1969, had I been 10 years older, lived in New York City, knew how to take photographs and was 250 times better looking that I am - I know in my heart and mind that I would have been the FIRST Mrs. Paul McCartney!

Fortunately, (except for me) that did not happen, and we got to know and love the beautiful Linda!

"McCartney had a vast post-Beatles catalog which included a good share of brilliant composing and performance.  Band on the Run, the album?  Maybe I’m Amazed, the song?  Etc, etc."

Interesting to note that Paul wrote "Maybe I'm Amazed" as a tribute to Linda for helping him through a tremendous depression following the breakup of the Beatles.

OK - Just one more Beatles plug and I'll shut up!

Does anyone remember the 1967 BBC Broadcast of "Our World?" 

My just almost 10-year-old self sure does! At around 2PM in my parents' Midwest home at the time.

You can read all about it here - but the first 2 paragraphs are:

• Our World was the first live multinational multi-satellite television production. National broadcasters from fourteen countries around the world, coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), participated in the program. The two-hour event, which was broadcast on Sunday 25 June 1967[a] in twenty-four countries, had an estimated audience of 400 to 700 million people, the largest television audience up to that date. Four communications satellites were used to provide a worldwide coverage, which was a technological milestone in television broadcasting.
  
• Creative artists, including opera singer Heather Harper, film director Franco Zeffirelli, conductor Leonard Bernstein, sculptor Alexander Calder and painter Joan Miró were invited to perform or appear in separate live segments, each of them produced by one of the participant broadcasters. The most famous segment is one from the United Kingdom starring the Beatles performing their song "All You Need Is Love" for the first time.
  

Below is the link to that performance done at none other than Abby Road Studios. It was broadcast as sort of a documentary as to how George Martin and the Beatles recorded their music by recording various tracks - rewinding the tape and recording more tracks - over and over again and again.

My favorite line from the narrator when the orchestra is brought into the studio:

"You'll notice the Musicians are not rock and roll youngsters; the Beatles get on best with symphony men!"

Broadcast worldwide and for the first time on Sunday June 25th, 1967:

"All You Need Is Love"

PS: Although in black and white and grainy as hell but watch closely and you will see very baby-faced members of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithfull, Keith Moon and Graham Nash!
