The 1986 Listening Post - Paul McCartney - Press to Play

Paul McCartney - Press to Play

August 15 1986
Paul McCartney
Press to Play
Genre: MOR
2.75 out of 5




In 1983 Paul McCartney released Pipes of Peace. And it wasn’t very good. 
In the same year, Paul Simon released Hearts and Bones and it was not bad. Not great. But better than the other Paul’s offering.
Imagine releasing this treacle on the same DAY as Paul Simon’s masterpiece, Graceland. 
The American songsmith of the 60s vs the British songsmith of the 60s put out music 20 years later and one guy sounds like his platter is dripping in schmaltz and the other is a masterpiece.
