However, after "Venus and Mars" he went disco, and I did not care for his work anymore (artistically, "Paul is Dead"). Probably around this time I found "Tubular Bells".... -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

I think saying "he went disco" is a little bit off the mark.  One or two tracks did incorporate elements of disco for sure, but he never fully embraced the genre. I think it would be more accurate to say "he went a bit shit" myself. Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Tug of War from 1982 is brilliant in my opinion. Some of his latest lp's are my favourites: Flaming Pie and his best imo is Chaos and Creation In The Backyard, his latest pop album. I didn't hear the classical one yet, but I will soon I guess... I haven't heard ANY review so I couldn't say... I am also a lot on the McCartney forum. It's a great great place!!!   -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top
