Fram till utgivningsdatumet den 24 mars 2017, kommer mycket kring Paul McCartney att handla om Flowers In The Dirt, den tionde utgåvan i Grammyvinnaren Paul McCartneys Archive Collection.
Flowers In The Dirt, som släpptes första gången den 5 juni 1989, var inledningen till ett samarbete mellan Paul och Elvis Costello. Elvis och Paul skrev tillsammans cirka 1/3-del av plattans alla låtar.
De flesta låtarna spelades in i Pauls hemmastudio i East Sussex. På frågorna om hur det var att skriva ihop med Elvis och om Paul lärde sig någonting av samarbetet, svarar Paul:
It was good! It was good fun actually. When we were about to start, I had said to Elvis that I kind of missed the way John and I used to write, which was sitting across from each other, with an acoustic guitar each. And I’d explain to him that the fun thing for me was, with John being right-handed and me being left-handed it kind of looked like it was in a mirror. So I said we should do the same thing. He just came down to my studio in Sussex and we used that same process. We just sat down, started banging away until one of us had an idea, or either of us brought in something that had inspired us and we wrote in the same manner that John and I had written in. So that was nice, it was kind of reminiscent of using this method once again. And the great thing was, this time, once we were finished, we could go right downstairs into the studio itself – because we wrote in my office above the studio – and we’d go right downstairs into the studio the minute we’d finished it. Five minutes later we’d recorded it. Talk about fresh! That was ‘hot off the skillet’.
På frågan om det ingår akustiska demoinspelningar på den här återutgåvan från 2017 svarar Paul:
Those are the demos, yeah. That’s why they sound so immediate – because they are!
Så här tycker Paul om inspelningarna: There was a very good spirit on them. We thought, ‘Just finished a song, yeah. Let’s go downstairs and just record it!’”
