First released: 1983
As I said in my "Tug of War" review, if this album was released with this album as an epic "War and Peace" double-set, it would have been revered as a classic along the lines of Harrison’s "All Things Must Pass" triple set. Then throwaway songs like "Tug of Peace" would have been respected better as thematic elements of McCartney going through a crisis (i.e. Lennon’s murder) and coming through the storm on the second disc. I really liked this album when it came out, not so much now, but there are still some fine tunes on the collection ("Pipes of Peace", "Keep Under Cover", "Average Person", even "Say, Say, Say").
