Product Description
The dawn of the 1980s began with the arrest of Paul in Japan. This triggered the wings to disappear naturally, and at the end of the year John collapsed into a knockout, Paul will disappear from the front stage for a long time. Paul of the ’80s only appeared to be counted on a single stage, and he did not do any tour. However, as a reaction to the late 1970’s, as a reaction to the live activity, Paul released from traveling life will concentrate on studio work, as the Beatles once did. There is also a meaning to return to the origin, again requesting George Martin to produce, and the two brothers albums “TUG OF WAR” and “PIPES OF PEACE” born as a result are still listed as Paul’s famous board. The feature of these two albums is that they are trying to collaborate with Big Name respectively.
“TUG OF WAR” co-starred two songs with Stevie Wonder, and “EBONY AND IVORY” is single-cut from among them. Following “PIPES OF PEACE” is a two-song accompaniment with Michael Jackson when “THRILLER” was a worldwide hit. “SAY SAY SAY” is hitting with that impressive promotional image. During the Beatles there was an equal partner called John Lennon. In the 70’s it was Wings that began with struggle against solitary confinement, but gradually acknowledging Denny Lane is a joint credit in ‘Dream Travelers’ etc. And in the 1980 ‘s, you would have asked others for new stimuli. The result was a great success.
However, “GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROAD STREET” announced in 1984 is labeled as a trash. Although it is a favorite album personally, because of the nature of the movie soundtrack, the past self-cover occupies most of the time, and the new songs have remained in only a few songs is also a low causality factor. There was a magazine called “FM fan” at that time, there was a special feature of this movie. Among them, the name was forgotten, but Japanese musicians said, “Why does the same person who made Sargent Peppers make such a crapy movie?” Certainly the movie was something else that I wanted to hit at Harrisen with a dream Ochi “High school odorifumi!”, But with respect to the new songs there was a very good song. I think that it may be evaluated a little more.
Subsequently announced was “PRESS TO PLAY” in 1986. In spite of the collection of famous songs, this is also an album with a low evaluation internationally, which has failed in sales as well. The only thing to watch out for is that this album is co-creating for partners as well. Although it has dropped considerably from co-authors of the two previous works, it is Eric Stewart. Nothing is said to be anything wrong with him, but as a partner for Paul you might have been inadequate. However, “FOOTPRINTS” is called “ONLY LOVE REMAINS” and it is called “STRANGLE HOLD” and I think that this may also be evaluated a little more.
When I was watching the movement of Paul in the 1980s, I felt like seeking a partner that always equaled myself and gave me stimulation. As it is about proven Paul, I would like you to do it confidently with a pin, but that would be a sign of supplementing the part of himself who is subjectively deficient. Paul will enter a period of silence for a while due to the unpopularity of “PRESS TO PLAY”. The best release “ALL THE BEST” was released in such a situation. In the jacket picture, a short borrowed hair, a 45-year-old pole with a somewhat wrinkle smiling smile. The jacket picture of “ALL THE BEST” is not a mature, negative meaning past adolescence, which can not go back to the times of the Beatles and Wings, together with the flow of the year, and in a new era after the middle age I could not help feeling the pole that I entered. “ALL THE BEST” contains “ONECE UPON A LONG AGO” as a new song. This is the only new song. And in the promotion / video of this song, you can see Chris Witten in the drums as well as Linda. There is a glimpse of the intention that at this time in the silence period, the members of the later World Tour have already participated, the pace for the live activities enlightened by the Prince Trust was gradually being struck.
The album “FLOWERS IN THE DIRT” announced in 1989 is already part of the history of the Beatles, although it will be classified as a recent album in consciousness for old fans. Less than 30 years have passed since the release in 2017. Perhaps from this time Paul must have kept in mind the tour for the first time in ten years. A band for that, and an album for that were necessary. It should not have been a simple album, but a hit movie that leads the tour to success. It was difficult to go on tour with “PRESS TO PLAY”. So we asked for a partner who is equal to ourselves and does not miss the traditional example, and has an opinion. So it was Elvis Costello that the arrow of a white player was standing. Costello is a Paul fan that was once in the Beatles fan club, and has respect for Paul. On the other hand, however, he had a cult popularity, achievement and personality that could be discussed to Paul as if it was a bit too poisonous. Paul of the 1980s who was losing track of the direction was a perfect partner as a departing partner again.
As a result of the collaboration between Paul and Costello, numerous songs are born. They were distributed and recorded in “FLOWERS IN THE DIRT” and Costello’s latest album “SPIKE”. So some songs have the same song Paul version and Costello version. Also, some of the songs that could not be recorded are diverted to “OFF THE GROUND”. Also in the same way as traditional collaborative projects, “YOU WANT HER TOO” has become a duet taking each other’s vocals. Although it did not go to a big hit in terms of sales, as for the pole accompanying this album, the tour for the first time in ten years was performed, and it became an impressive album for fans. This work is a soul-filled title that recorded the session sound source of this “FLOWERS IN THE DIRT” over six disks. Not only album tracks but also unreleased songs and single-only songs recorded at the same time, including culmination of the first appearance has become a culmination.
