'Pipes Of Peace' by Paul McCartney from 'Pipes Of Peace' album.

This is a remaster from original file, I don't have multitracks...

I'm using a professional audio engineering software for all of my videos.

About this song [www.wikipedia.org]
-
"Pipes of Peace" is a song written by Paul McCartney, which was first released on his album of the same name on 31 October 1983. It was also released as a single on 5 December 1983 and reached number one in the UK singles chart for two weeks.[1]

In the United States, "Pipes of Peace" was issued as the B-Side, and its British B-Side, "So Bad," was issued as the A-Side. "So Bad" climbed to number twenty three on the US Billboard Hot 100.[2]

At Chobham Common, Surrey, a video was shot for "Pipes of Peace", depicting the famous 1914 Christmas truce between British and German troops. It portrays a British and a German soldier, both played by McCartney, who meet up in No Man's Land and exchange photos of their loved ones while other soldiers fraternise and play football. When a shell blast forces the two armies to retreat to their own trenches both men realise that they still have each-other's pictures.[3] The video was produced by Hugh Symonds, featured more than 100 extras, and for added realism McCartney had his hair cut short especially for the shoot. The same story is told in the French film Joyeux Noël.

McCartney had previously had seventeen UK number one singles as a member of The Beatles, one as a member of Wings ("Mull of Kintyre"), and one with Stevie Wonder ("Ebony and Ivory"), but this was his first and only UK number one as a solo artist. He later appeared on three charity singles that reached number one: Ferry Aid (1987), Ferry Cross the Mersey (1989) and Band Aid 20 (2004).
