Flowers In The Dirt: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: UMR
Release Date: 1st May

Arguably the most 80s Paul ever got, it has a clinical swing, blindingly bright synths, chonky basslines and some wacka-wacka guitars. It's a little sophistipop, a little Scritti Politti and Heaven 17 but it does mellow down for some schmaltzy Macca ballads, which is what we come for. Is this good? I'll gladly take your order.

Flowers in the Dirt (1989) marked a creative resurgence for Paul McCartney, presenting him as a vital, contemporary songwriter at the close of the 1980s. Track highlights include the bright, Beatlesque “My Brave Face,” the heartfelt ballad “Put It There,” and the polished pop single “This One.” Several songs were co-written with Elvis Costello, a collaboration that sharpened McCartney’s lyrical edge and drew critical attention. Culturally, the album is often seen as a late-career comeback, reestablishing McCartney’s artistic credibility and introducing his music to a new generation of listeners. Available now on single LP.
