| This is it! I'm about to do Press to Play, Macca's 1986 LP! It's my least favourite Macca album of all time. It and Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard are the only albums of his that have never risen in my estimation over the years, and I've only played it once in about two decades. Will my opinion of it change? For those who want to listen along or to join in with the commentary, this is where the full album may be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceEEtbZOv8I&list=PL3v4pgHCnzCSw6zVq08Ci39ZBqK5cdLb5 _________________ |

| It's produced by Hugh Padgham and most of the tracks are co-written by Eric Stewart. There were, apparently, confusions and ructions during the making of it. McCartney is said to not be enamoured of it. _________________ |

| I always liked the start of it, I remember. And it has some nice bass and a catchy tune. _________________ |

| It feels like different bits stuck together, rather than a coherent track. _________________ |

| The individual bits are good but it keeps stopping and starting and diverting. _________________ |

| Eric Stewart's influence isn't obvious on this. I don't know if he co-wrote this one. _________________ |

| I have heard and early take of this which is a lot better than the finished version.  _________________ |
