McCartney II
Description:
McCartney II was Paul’s first solo album since the formation of Wings in 1971. While it's highly electronic style was certainly innovative, its cosily domestic origins were reminiscent of 1970’s McCartney album. Recorded in the summer of 1979, when the future of Wings remained uncertain, the album was conceived at home on Paul’s farm in Scotland.

Tug Of War
Description:
Released in 1982, Tug of War was Paul’s first solo album after Wings’ split was confirmed, and followed the death of John Lennon, whose memory is poignantly evoked on the track ‘Here Today’. The album saw him reunite with producer George Martin and included two duets with Stevie Wonder, one of which, ‘Ebony And Ivory’, was Number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. The sessions were so fruitful that a number of songs were held over for Pipes of Peace, which followed in 1983. Upon its release, Tug of War was nominated for the 1983 Grammy for Album of the Year.

Pipes Of Peace
Description:
Released in 1983, featuring songs initially recorded during sessions for the Tug of War album, Pipes of Peace continued Paul’s rich vein of song-writing form and included two massive hits, the Michael Jackson duet ‘Say Say Say’ and the number 1 title track. The collaboration with Jackson – then the biggest star on the planet thanks to the success of his Thriller album – extended to another track, the breezy ‘The Man’. Lyrically, the album features Paul’s thoughts on love, peace and the future, centred around the symbol of the pipes of peace.

CHOBA B CCCP
Description:
CHOBA B CCCP, the Russian translation of “Back in the USSR”, was released in the Soviet Union in 1988, making Paul the first artist from the West to issue an album exclusively for that market. (It was released in the rest of the world following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.) Ruminating on the next stage of his career following 1986’s Press to Play, Paul decided he wanted to get back to his roots, so hired three session musicians and spent just two days covering his favourite hits from the 1950s.
