"Flowers in the Dirt" by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1989

Although I like this album quite a bit, to this day I would rather see all of the Paul McCartney/Elvis Costello compositions on one album. Instead we get a few songs here, a few on Paul’s "Off the Ground", a few on Elvis’ "Spike" and "Mighty Like a Rose" albums. The highlight is the first single "My Brave Face". Also, I much prefer the Japanese version of this CD which includes an extra CD that features a special message to Japanese fans by Paul and also the studio version of "P.S. Love Me Do". People at the time said that this was Paul's "comeback" record. Well, where was he? He had released at least an album or a single every year since he became a pop star, so the tag was kind of silly. Just a marketing ploy.
