You said that already! And I'm sorry Chris, but this is pretty much the only Macca studio album I don't like out of the ones I know so far, and there are only two or three left for me to get to know.

I love all of Press to Play!

I love it as it was round about the time I really started getting into Paul. I loved some of the b-sides like Tough on a tightrope and Its Not True. I loved the Press video. I loved the performance on Only Love Remains on The Tube and Royal show. I loved the quirkiness of Talk More Talk and Pretty Little Head. I love that it could have been re-recorded and been bloody fantastic! I love now that it is quite under played and not over exposed. I think Footprints is a masterpiece.

Footprints is a good song, but I just can't get past the production and sound on most of these tracks. The spoken word intro to Talk More Talk is so misjudged that I find the whole track unlistenable - pretty much my least favourite Macca track I know, apart from his "Good Sign" B-side which I find even more annoying. I like Write Away from this period, and I can see how tracks like Pretty Little Head and Good Times Coming COULD be great.

Ebony and Ivory and English Tea--the former especially doesn't get enough love. And I don't understand why.
Sir Paul could do better than using a piano metaphor to discuss racial harmony!! The cheesy George Martin production doesnt help the tune. Paul has written 1 of the best tunes on this topic (Blackbird) & one of the worst (E&I).

My thoughts exactly , apart from FITD it's by far the best thing he did in the 80's after a pretty lame period.

With the exception of "English Tea," I wasn't aware that I'll Get You, What You're Doing, The Word and Wait (isn't that a John song?) were generally unpopular.

Well, they are depper cuts at least. But, I've seen "I'll Get You" and "Wait" take a lot of crap on here before...and when I do Beatles, I'm just doing ALL beatles, not just Paul. Just like Wings, I included a Denny and a Linda track.

(Joey Smith) "Ebony and Ivory" is Paul's "worst" song on racial harmony--I disagree. It's better minus the cheese ball 1980s "special effects." I sure agree with that. Recall when Paul and Stevie did this song at the White House, and the posh crowd there hollered with joy...I've been invited to race relations day at a local black church this coming Sunday, and I'm looking forward to it. I know the music is gonna be fantastic...I gave them a lot of toys for their nursery and it felt good to help them out, like that and I know they're gonna help me out spiritually during a very hard time in my life, like Paul's music does

E&I's keyboard reference is a much better metaphor. The keys create harmony. Why don't we? Simple but effective. I don't think it's far-fetched to speculate that "Blackbird"'s meaning is completely lost on anyone who has not heard Paul's explanation. I would venture to guess that nobody knew its meaning until around 2002, when Paul started publicly sharing the meaning behind the song in his concerts and interviews. And it didn't help that The Beatles recording includes audio of an actual bird.

The Word was a John song I thought, I've read Paul say that Wait was all his.

I'll go through from 70 (just album tracks, can't be bothered doing unreleased stuff too. I have a life ) onwards and list songs that I believe most people dislike or I just haven't seen anyone really comment on them: Man We Was Lonely Hot As Sun/Glasses Oo You Heart of the Country Mumbo Bip Bop One More Kiss Mamunia Picasso's Last Words Call Me Back Again You Gave Me The Answer Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People She's My Baby Let Em' In Backwards Traveller Children Children Girlfriend To You After The Ball/Million Miles Baby's Request McCartney II Get It Ebony & Ivory Average Person Keep Under Cover Sweetest Little Show The Other Me Figure of Eight Don't Be Careless Love I Owe It All To You Young Boy Heaven On A Sunday If You Wanna The World Tonight Tiny Bubble Your Way English Tea A Certain Softness Promise To You Girl Dance Tonight Ever Present Past See Your Sunshine Vintage Clothes Light From Your Lighthouse Two Magpies

I went on the basis that cos he sticks it in his live shows a lot, most people would be tired of hearing it.
