Paul McCartney: Press to Play Revival
Following the recently published book by Luka Perasi on Paul’s much maligned 1986 album, “Press to Play”, there has been some discussions among fans and the album has popped up in podcasts etc. Now, Andrew from Parlogram Auctions has published a new vlog on the subject. Read our blog post about the album which we published this summer, and see Andrew’s vlog “Paul McCartney’s most misunderstood album” here. Paul doesn’t seem to be very fond of the album very much either, but then again, sadly he listens too much to his critics. But perhaps news of it being discussed may prompt him to give it the Archives treatment? Still, before that, getting the final Wings albums that treatment is long overdue.
I still think the eclectic atmosphere of the album is one of its selling points. It’s not the peak of Paul’s powers but neither is it the nadir. It could, essentially be Macca’, ‘Self Portrait’ (Dylan’s album, obvs.)
