Description
I sell some LP’s of my own collection and I have turned some of the records very often.
I am not a professional seller and I have never cleaned the records. That may be an option to do, but often not necessary
Brief Info: Issued in 1997, after a four year break, to almost ectastic reviews and it sold well, because it sounds very similar to The Beatles material and style. Beautifully produced with excellent songs with backing from top quality musicians. This really does take you back to the Fab Four era!! But very few on the strictly limited vinyl run. You see the CD occasionally on eBay, but hardly ever the vinyl version.
Review: Just when everyone has given up on Sir Paul's ever releasing another decent pop song, he turns around and surprises us all with his best album since the mid-'70s. After working on the Beatles' Anthology series, he was reminded of the standards of music he'd long forgotten and was pressed to meet them. Even Jeff Lynne, who helped on much of it, kept himself very much in the background, and let Mac do the right thing, playing and singing most everything, with some help from Ringo and guitarist Steve Miller, whose presence was a mixed blessing. Even if the songs don't scale the heights of the Glory Years, they remind us of the true talent that was McCartney once again. A pleasure to the ear
Rarity: Very scarce on vinyl: this was quite limited on this format that in 1997 was deemed a specialist way of listening to music. It peaked at number 2 in the UK album charts, but most sales were on CD, and those that bought the record tend to hang on to it. A once-played full and genuine UK copy will not be seen or offered often.
