Description
Cut from the same AIR Studios run with George Martin as Tug of War, Pipes of Peace finds McCartney leaning into glossy, song-first pop with a wry grin. Title track shuffles on a gentle marching snare, its stacked harmonies blooming into a pacifist earworm. Say Say Say, the Michael Jackson duet, still skips along on rubbery bass and handclap hooks that feel almost hip-hop in their economy. Then So Bad slows the room, McCartney’s high register floating over a syrupy low-end line.
This LP pressing does what it should for early-80s McCartney: space opens around the vocals and the low end sits deeper without smearing the sparkle. Details like acoustic guitar strums and percussion come through tidier.
It sits neatly beside Tug of War and the Thriller-era pop conversation, catchy but craft minded rather than trendy. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Paul McCartney records online with us. For a weekend tidy or a gentle weeknight spin, it is hard to argue with the tunes-per-minute here. Art direction is peak early-80s McCartney whimsy. The Man, the other Jackson pairing, is a sleeper, all breezy keys and easy hooks.
Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Paul McCartney fan.
