      Macca & Peter Gabriel wrote a great tune together in 1986 called Politics of Love. Gabriel even commented on how melodic it was. When will it be released?!?

              I wonder if the lyrics are dated. Any references to apartheid and Reagan?

                    In 1980, Peter Gabriel wrote and recorded a song with Kate Bush called Ibiza.....and that has never been released either. And at the appropriate times, both Paul McCartney and Kate Bush both shared the same record company, EMI. Hmmm...... .

                    Wembley Empire Pool, London  (Wings) 21st October 1976.

                    'Take It Away' video shoot Elstree studios, London 23rd June 1982.

                    'Give My Regards To Broad Street' film premier, London 29th November 1984.

                    Docklands Arena rehearsal concert, London 5th February 1993.

                    Run Devil Run launch party, Equinox Club, London 30th September 1999.

                      I think Robert Plant and Kate Bush should do a song together, i'm sure it would be a vine collaboration. ops:

                          Er...who says it was "great"? If it had been that good it would have been released surely! Macca also wrote a "song" with Keith Richards in 2005, wonder what happened to that one 😉

                              Interesting...typical Paul though, wanting to work with the guy who's hot (Gabriel was on the "So" high).

                                The live version performed solely by Peter is "out there" in well guarded trading circles.

                                  Time to get on with the "Press to Play" archive collection reissue. I don't know all of bootlegs out there but there must be much unreleased from this mid-80s period. "Return to Pepperland", this song with Peter Gabriel ... Could it be one of the most exciting reissues for the archival series? If they're working on it...
