    How does this album get such a bad rap? I love it! Truly one of my favorites.

      Check your local second-hand record store first before considering spending 300€ for a crappy "very good +" used record with scratches and rips / bents on the cover. I just bought mine today for just 125€. The front cover just had a small rip cuz of the old price tag, but the records themselves were just played a few times and thus near mint and were in excellent condition. That's a fair price, not this shit you keep finding here

        Incredible to note that only one pressing of this exists, and probably only around 2000 copies worldwide. Doubt there's much chance of this getting an archive release any time soon either.

          The life of Paul McCartney had changed: Linda has ed away three years before and he found a new love in Heather Mills. It's like changing veggie-burgers for real meat loafs.
          Sow as the music. Paul returned to The Beatles in a more modern style. He even wrote and recorded a song (Riding Into Jaipur) that sounded like it was from George Harrison himself.
          A great album that was more fun than so many other albums before.

            The sticker on the front came with all the copies? I saw a few copies without it and I’m not very sure if they are first pressing.
