Numbered, Limited Edition 3CD/DVD Deluxe Edition Set!
Newly Remastered at Abbey Road!
MPL and the Concord Music Group proudly 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 receive lavish reissue treatment including exclusive 2015 remix of the entire Tug of War album, a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks, and much more.
The inaugural release in the archive series, the Deluxe Edition of Paul McCartney and WingsÂ’ 1973 milestone Band on the Run, won the 2010 GRAMMY Award for Best Historical Album, while the Deluxe Edition Box Set of the 1976 classic live collection Wings Over America took the 2013 GRAMMY for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.
As with the GRAMMY-winning Band on the Run and Wings Over America Archive editions, Paul personally supervised all aspects of these releases.
Released in 1982, Tug of War was Paul’s first album following the break-up of Wings and his third solo LP overall. Hailed upon its release as “exquisitely crafted” by The New York Times and a “masterpiece” by Rolling Stone, Tug of War went to #1 in no less than nine countries. Tug of War yielded such classic tracks as Paul’s #1 duet with Stevie Wonder 'Ebony and Ivory,' the top 10 single 'Take It Away,' and of course 'Here Today,' the conversation Paul never had with the late John Lennon that remains a staple of Paul’s live set to this day..
