Paul McCartney - The Pound Is Sinking

Paul's thirteenth "solo" album release, and almost two years after "McCartney II".
With "Ebony and Ivory" doing so well in the singles chart, the timely release meant that the album entered the L.P. chart straight into the highest position. After two weeks it had sold 20,000 copies in the U.K. and had passed the 100,000 sales mark before August. It remained in the chart for over 6 months.
The production of "Tug Of War" spanned a year and a half, starting in October 1980, and not being completed until March 1982. During this period, on 27th April 1981, it was officially announced that Denny had left the group, and that Wings had disbanded. "Tug Of War" had an initial official release date of 15th February 1982, then 12th March, but did not appear in the shops until the end of April

The production of this piece is amazing. The sound of bass, guitars and especially vocals are excellent. One of his best works.

Not only great musician ...did he know this financial crisis was coming too? Hehe. Hardly seems surprising.

:) Paul got "political" at this album, as John was some 10 years earlier :) he does it in a different, more disguised way than John (maybe since he remembered the big troubles he had with "Give Ireland Back To The Irish") but with equal strength.

What a voice this man has! 2:10 proves that Paul McCartney can sound like Chris Cornell.

I really love Paul's music. What a great man! This song was recorded in 1982 and it still sound very much of today economic news in Europe and the rest of the world. The Euro is sinking and so is the dollar. Pretty bad, the Greek monetary crisis and so is the European monetary problem. Indeed the pound is sinking.
