Paul McCartney - Ballroom Dancing

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

Song about Paul and George going down to the local dance hall as "pups" standing around like wall flowers trying to get the nerve up to dance with a girl. Ed

Paul McCartney was unquestionably Wings' leader and star, but Laine, McCulloch, Juber and Linda McCartney all wrote songs for the group, and Laine, McCulloch, English, and Linda McCartney all performed lead vocals on Wings songs.
