 I'm a longtime Beatles fan, LOVE ALL they did together and solo, but...never had this record on my collection... Sorry but it's pretty bad! :/

 I totally have the opposite view of quad5point1. It has always been one of my favorites. The 7" version of Pretty Little Head is one of my all time favs as is the remix of the same song Press is a great song and However Absurd with its Beatle influence is fantastic song. Just goes to prove how subjective music is. I cannot wait for this to be added to the archive collection someday, and I hope it will be. There are a lot of remixes available and I have them all!

For me this had to be the worst album McCartney ever committed to tape. I couldn't find any redeeming factors about it at all bar the title song Press which is at best mediocre. I know McCartney went through a phase of bringing in other established stars to work alongside and I truly thought the partnership with Eric Stewart would've been a good one based on his work with 10cc but this album just left me cold and wondering where McCartney's head was at when he recorded it. To this day it has remained on the shelf unplayed and unloved for 33 years. For me there is only one thing good about it and that was the cover picture for the sleeve. The album covers photograph was taken by George Hurrell, using the same box camera that he used in Hollywood in the 1930's and the 1940's. Hurrell was renowned for his photographs of movie stars of the 1930's and 1940's like Clark Gable and Greta Garbo, to which the album's cover was meant to pay homage and for me it was only thing that worked. Other than that it's definitely one you're not missing if you don't have it and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.
