Pipes of Peace / Paul McCartney (US)

白いジャケットの中古って、ほとんどがシミや黄ばみで鑑賞に耐えないのが多いのですが、ディスクユニオンでふと手に取ったこれは、UK盤、ジャケット綺麗、980円！早速連れて帰って再生すると、まず、盤がピカピカ✨数回も再生してないんじゃないの？ってくらいホコリも傷もありません。 そして肝心のサウンドというと、、、 いい！CDを超えてる（笑） A-1のPipes of Peaceのヴォーカルの出だし、震えました！とっても実在感がある音です。そして、もちろんKeep Under CoverからのSo Bad（涙）。う〜んSo Badのベース音もしっかりブルンしてくれています。 B面はもちろんAverage Personを中心に、サウンドは80'sのデジタルっぽさがありつつも、ゲストミュージシャンの演奏もしっかりと捉えられていて、しかも鮮度が高いから、やっぱりCDを超えている（笑）UK盤ナイス！ Tug of WarとPipes of Peace、やっぱり傑作です。ありがとうPaul！！！ Side one - Pipes of Peace - Say Say Say - The Other Me - Keep Under Cover - So Bad Side two - The Man - Sweetest Little Show - Average Person - Hey Hey - Tug of Peace - Through Our Love Paul McCartney – bass guitar, guitars, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, drums, vocals Linda McCartney – keyboards, backing vocals Michael Jackson – vocals, percussion on "Say Say Say" and "The Man" Eric Stewart – guitar, backing vocals Denny Laine – guitar, keyboards, vocals Hughie Burn, Geoff Whitehorn – guitar David Williams – guitar on "Say Say Say" George Martin - garden canes on "Tug of Peace"; bicycle wheel, piano on "Through Our Love" Stanley Clarke – bass guitar, vocals on "Keep Under Cover" and "Hey Hey" Nathan Watts – bass guitar on "Say Say Say" Chris Hammer Smith – harmonica on "Say Say Say" Bill Wolfer[20] – keyboards on "Say Say Say" Gavyn Wright – violin Jerry Hey – strings, French horn Gary Herbig – flute Chris Hammer Smith – harmonica Andy Mackay, Ernie Watts – saxophone Gary Grant – horns Ringo Starr – drums on "So Bad" and "Average Person" Ricky Lawson – drums on "Say Say Say" Steve Gadd, Dave Mattacks – drums James Kippen – tabla on "Pipes of Peace" Pestalozzi's Children's Choir – backing vocals on "Pipes of Peace"
