  • Latest collection feature

    McCartney uncut

    Ex-Beatles member Paul McCartney released around 100 singles in the UK throughout his career as of 1971. Either solo or with his band Wings.

    Among these singles were two called We All Stand Together and Dance Tonight.

    We All Stand Together was released in 1984 during a time when his career was deemed to go in a downward spiral. Mainly due to some private mishappenings, but also his negatively received Give My Regards To Broad Street movie. In comes this release, as it brought him back into the charts (number three in the UK). It was released as a 7″ single and a 7″ shaped picture disc. As with most shaped picture discs, an uncut test pressing was initially made which is shown in the photo on the left.

    Moving forward to 2007 brings us to the single for Dance Tonight. A nice song in my opinion, just as the one from ’84. This one was released as a download and again a 7″ shaped picture disc. The 7″ oddly features the song on both sides so there is no proper B-side. An uncut test pressing also exists for this release. However, there is also a single-sided test pressing which features the regular images on both sides, although only side A contains music. Does this mean that they initially intended to release this as a single-sided disc? I guess we’ll never know. The double-sided disc is shown in the photo on the right whereas the single-sided one is at the bottom, with the blank side facing upwards.

    Both discs are 12″ in size with 7″ grooves which contain the music. All three only come in a clear plastic sleeve.
