GET 'PIPES OF PEACE':
---
MPL and the Concord Music Group are proud to announce two more landmark installments in the multiple GRAMMY-winning Paul McCartney Archive Collection.

On 2nd October, 2015, Paul’s early ‘80s back-to-back classics Tug of War and Pipes of Peace will receive lavish multiple configuration reissue treatment including exclusive 2015 remixes of both the entire Tug of War album and the Pipes of Peace classic collaboration with Michael Jackson 'Say Say Say,' a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks and never before seen video, and much more.

'Pipes of Peace', Paul’s fourth solo album was released in 1983 and continued Paul’s early '80s run of platinum records. Singles from 'Pipes of Peace' included the title track and of course Paul and Michael Jackson’s timeless 'Say Say Say,' a multi-format global chart-topping smash continually cited as a landmark of that or any year - as recently as 2007, Vibe magazine rated 'Say Say Say' as one of the greatest duets of all time.

As with the GRAMMY-winning 'Band on the Run' and 'Wings Over America' Archive editions, Paul personally supervised all aspects of these releases and their various formats, which include:

The 'Pipes of Peace' 2-CD Special Edition is made up of the original album plus a 9-track bonus disc with such exclusive gems as a 2015 remix of 'Say Say Say' by Spike Stent, unearthed demos of three album tracks and outtakes 'It’s Not On' and 'Simple As That,' the previously unreleased 'Christian Bop' and more. The 2-CD/1-DVD 'Pipes of Peace' Deluxe Edition features a bonus video disc comprised of the original promo clips for all three of the album’s singles, plus previously unreleased clips from Paul’s film archives. The Deluxe configuration will also include a 112-page essay book and 64-page book that takes the reader behind the scenes on the 'Pipes of Peace' title track video shoot.

Both albums and their companion bonus audio discs will also be released as 2-LP 180-gram audiophile vinyl editions complete with gatefold sleeves and download cards. The newly remixed and mastered 'Tug of War' and remastered 'Pipes of Peace' will also receive standard and Hi Res digital releases, as well deluxe digital and Hi Res releases featuring all bonus audio.

'Tug of War' and 'Pipes of Peace are the newest instalments in the acclaimed and ongoing Paul McCartney Archive Collection. The inaugural release in the series, the Deluxe Edition of Paul McCartney and Wings’ 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.

Previous releases in this ambitious reissue program encompassing 41 years of timeless material from the most successful songwriter and recording artist of all time include solo works 'McCartney' and 'McCartney II', Paul and Linda McCartney’s 'RAM', and Wings’ 'Venus and Mars' and 'At The Speed Of Sound'.

The most underrated song of Paul McCartney. I can't believe that this song has never been performed in his concert...

[darrenpearsall]

Reminds me of Christmas 1983 when I was a 13 year old lad. I love this song 😍

[dhaley]

Who writes better songs than Paul McCartney? NO ONE!!!! He just does it good!

[rafapak]

this guy is the most talented guy that ever walked on this planet

[billcourter]

I'll light a candle to all the joy that you have given us ...

[maxpom]

Love this song, it's not played enough on TV & radio!

[readonwright]

Literally genius honestly. Simply beautiful and so poignant even now all this time later.

"What do you say? will the human race be run in a day? or will someone say this planet were playing it the only one?..

Help them to see, that the people here are like you and me. Let us show them how to play, the pipes of peace.."


Gives me shivers every time. Amazing

[eggman]

A beautiful song written by the King of melody.

[timothybradley]

This song is so calming. It was a number 1 song. Another McCartney classic.

[majo-ewbv]

sometimes this make me cry, it's so beautiful

[TaikoTitRich]

Why is this song never on any of the Christmas music channels? Such a good song!

[christopheradderley]

This is simply a track of pure beauty.
Increase the Peace 🙏

[MyDreamside]

one of the very first Paul songs that made me fan of his solo years!

[phil]

It's a stunning song, easily one of Paul's very best, and the video for it was the perfect accompaniment.

[ameliaalmiron]

Really special song, amazing ideas.
I can listen to it, a hundred times, and it's very touching to the heart. And always a hope for Peace.
I love the acting it's so real.
And the behavior of the characters is so real. This is one of my favorites !

[MelissaNgai]

Awh his voice is so beautiful. Effortless singing.

[donriley]

To those who give thumbs down: Elvis sang just for you, "What's so funny about peace and love and understanding?" John, Paul, George and Ringo: all they ever did was give us their love. And that is good enough for me. Like I wrote in1980: How can anyone murder a Beatle?

[RealJap]

Still get goosebumps listening to this. Brings me right back to the young kid I was in 1983.

[RodrigoArteagaArtista]

Beautiful song. Love you forever, Paul!

[michaelwoods]

This song is so well put together. love this song at Christmas :)
