Info for Tug Of War (Deluxe Edition - 2015 Remaster)

MPL and the Concord Music Group are proud to announce two more landmark installments in the multiple GRAMMY-winning Paul McCartney Archive Collection. Paul's early '80s back-to-back classics Tug of War and Pipes of Peace will receive lavish multiple configuration reissue treatment including exclusive 2015 remixes of both the entire Tug of War album and the Pipes of Peace classic collaboration with Michael Jackson 'Say Say Say,' a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks.

Tug of War, originally released in 1982, is the third solo album by Paul McCartney. The album was produced by George Martin and includes numerous guest musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Carl Perkins, and Ringo Starr. Tug of War reached #1 on both the US and UK charts and received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year in 1983.

Tug of War is most remembered for 'Ebony & Ivory,' a harmonious pop duet with Wonder that, even upon first inspection, sounded like part wondrous natural meditation, part brilliantly calculated songwriting. Of course it's both, and, as such, stands next to 'Every Breath You Take' and 'With or Without You' as a great pop standard of the '80s. But take note that the album's other Paul-Stevie duet, Wonder's funky 'What's That You're Doing?,' is the most groove-ridden song McCartney ever recorded. And the album's other big hit, 'Take it Away,' is vintage McCartney in reminiscence mode (ala Ray Davies' 'Come Dancing'), with possibly the last great chorus he ever wrote.

Newly remixed using the original analogue multi-track tapes and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London.
