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

Special kind of 'watermusic' (hope you know Händel his very special music like the 'messiah'). Paul, one of the most influent, important componists of the 20th century beside Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Björn Ulveaus & Benny Andersson!!!

Highlight of one of McCartneys greatest albums. Love this he's not trying to be The Beatles or arty McCartney he's just doing great pop music that fitted the times. Now he's trying to make the White Album 2 all the time to please critics who want to tie him to the past all the time. The Beatles are over get over it.

I love Be What You See. It's so ghostly, should I say. Genius even. I listen to it again and again on vinyl, wishing it was longer.

The weak spot on an otherwise strong Paul LP. The bossa nova/discoish beat is pretty hokey and dated.

This is definitely my favourite McCartney song. Reminds me of a special point in time and it's like a lifesource for me. Paul is etched on my mind.

I love Sir Paul's "spots" of music -- like "Be What You See" that comes before "Dress Me Up Like a Robber" (which I couldn't care less about) and the blurb after the song "Anyway" (on "Chaos & Creation in the Backyard"). The blurb comes after a VERY long pause (30+ secs) ...good things come to those who wait!

One of the great things about this album is that George Martin helped produce it...
