Does anyone else here have Paul McCartney's recording of Mistress and Maid? I think it's on the Off The Ground album.
Anyway, after the line "fix you your fav-or-ite drink" there's this cackle sound in the background.
Is that Elvis??

It's Macca's last good album to date, imo. EC commented that it was a bit over-produced, and he's right. Still there's a number of great tunes on it, well worth checking out.laughingcrow wrote:I don't have it... although I think that track off of ATUB bonus disc is one of the best one there...
was thinking about buying Flowers in the dirt though, anyone else have this? Is it worth a listen?

I think that's McCartney LTZ. Both Off The Ground and Flowers In The Dirt are really good. Hope Of Deliverance is as good as any solo Macca, and there are some impressive melodies as usual -- notably C'Mon People.

This review makes a few relevant points on OTG, for what it's worth. On FITD, I like Macca's My Brave Face better than EC's. That bass is killer, so joyful.

I've been listening to FITD in the last few days because of this thread... That Day Is Done is particularly good also besides MBF, but now I've got Distractions stuck in my head. "DIstRActiONs...". If somebody likes Mr.Thumbs-Up at all they'll probably like this album. I didn't find the production a nuisance, it gives it good unity.
