“Maybe I’m Amazed" is a Rock & Roll tribute to Paul McCartney featuring an all star lineup of world class studio musicians. MIA is dedicated to bringing the feel and sound of a McCartney live show. Their 90 minute show features Paul McCartney hits from The Beatles, Wings and his solo efforts set to a backdrop of multi-media and lighting that leaves the audience…Amazed.
CPO who plays Macca in the show has been playing Paul in national touring acts Beatles vs Stones and Abbey Road for the past 10+ years as well as other Beatles acts across the world including The Liverpool Beatles, Beatles show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Hard Days Night, 4 Lads from Liverpool, Sgt Pepper Beatles tribute, Beatlemaniacs and several others. He has also done several Wings and Beatles tribute shows with former Wings guitarist Laurence Juber. In addition, CPO has fronted Boingo Dance Party featuring Johnny Vatos and a rotating cast of former Oingo Boingo band members. CPO has also released several albums as a singer/songwriter including Wonderlove(with MIA drummer Dicki Fliszar), LPFM, Faul!, CPO & Co and several solo albums as Chris Paul Overall.
The Cast:
CPO (Macca) - bass, piano, guitar
Dicki Fliszar (Abe) - drums
Chris Jagich (Wix) - keys, guitar
Cory Clark (Rusty) - guitar
Scott Harrah (Ray) - guitar, bass
Love…Good Times Coming. And ……Only Love Remains is a Masterpiece!
Not all the critics hated it. Sadly it's reputation dwindled over years after initial release. It is an interesting album. Having watched all the reviews of each song I think a point can be made that CPO likes 80's production far more than his guests who so polite. At the time Rolling Stone (usually a Macca basher) gave this review of the album.
BY ANTHONY DECURTIS
OCTOBER 23, 1986
From Rolling Stone
“WHAT THE HELL gives you the right/To tell me what to do with my life?” Paul McCartney screeches on Press to Play, his first album of new material since 1983’s Pipes of Peace. The lines occur in a guitar burner called “Angry” and stand as the ex-Beatle’s challenge to critics of his love songs, sweet melodies and generally sunny disposition. “Angry” taps the emotion that’s most likely responsible for making Press to Play one of the sturdiest LPs of McCartney’s post-Beatles career.
McCartney’s easygoing exterior masks a deeply competitive streak - this is a man who can take being dismissed as a wimp only so long. The last time McCartney weighed in credibly was on 1982’s Tug of War, an album fired by its central image of struggle, a reunion with Beatles producer George Martin and the need to address the artistic legacy left by the recently slain John Lennon. If Pipes of Peace marked a return to pap and 1984’s Give My Regards to Broad Street represented a retreat into Beatles revisionism, Press to Play plants McCartney firmly in the present.
McCartney has always worked best with collaborators. The mates on Press to Play are Hugh Padgham, who coproduced the record with McCartney, and Eric Stewart, the ex-10cc stalwart, who co-wrote six of the LP’s ten songs. Padgham, who has handled the board for the Police and Phil Collins, supplies Press to Play with an electronically dense contemporary sound that fleshes out McCartney’s melodies and gives the LP rhythmic kick. Stewart pushes McCartney in some new directions, particularly on the dreamily abstract “Pretty Little Head” and the LP’s grand Beatlesque finale, “However Absurd.”
The album opens with a snareslamming rocker, “Stranglehold,” whose cracking horns and peppy chorus announce that McCartney hasn’t lost his upbeat touch. The catchy pop suite “Good Times Coming/Feel the Sun” finds the singer in his Abbey Road mode, reeling from an edgy evocation of the past into a characteristically optimistic vision of what it will take to see us through the future: “All the beauty, all the pain/Will it ever be the same again?/If you love me, show me now/It’s the only way that we know how.”
I’d also recommend checking out the Press music video, it’s one of his best.
Agree!
Interesting press version's. Its basically instrumental and mixed, like 80' s eletronic music.
Right. Around this time, they did not need a reason to issue 10-20 extended remixed versions of everything.
There is still one more officially released song from these sessions, an instrumental called Hanglide that was a B-side to one of the singles. It would only be available on vinyl or RUclips to listen to however.
Good point I was wondering about that piece.
If you think about it, even Ram or McCartney were salvaged by critics (Rolling Stone ones in particular), which is absolutely nonsense now as it was then.
Yes, the Press single didn't chart as previous ones, but the Press To Play album still managed to hit the #8 position in the UK Albums Chart.
It is undeniable, though, that this era marked the end of Paul's permanent residence in the single Top Tens since 1963 (1985's Spies Like Us was his last US Top Ten hit and 1987's Once Upon A Long his last UK Top Ten hit).
Even more so, one of the singles from this album became the first ever released under McCartney's name to fail to chart completely (Pretty Little Head, Britain's second single from this album).
So, times were changing for Paul, but album sales-wise Macca was still going strong and he would continue to do so ever since.
Regarding this track in particular, I don't think this mix was aimed at anything in particular apart from DJs who can put it in their sets.
It would have been fun to be in a disco in 1986 dancing to this 😀
Ironically, neither Spies Like Us nor Once Upon A Long Ago made Top 10 in Canada. However, one of his songs off this album DID! Only Love Remains reached No 7. His chart dominance was indeed over, but Canada would still have three more Top 10s: Put It There, Hope of Deliverance and From a Lover to a Friend.
@@Kieop Wow! From A Lover To A Friend made the Top 10? That's a great news, that song is a gem. Well done, Canadians!
The original mix of this song on the album is great. One of my favorites from Paul's 80's work. This mix just goes on too long. Never really got into the 12" mix singles much. Never understood the need to chop up and stretch a good song for another 4 minutes. I guess it was the last gasp of vinyl records before cd's came out.
Thank God it's over 🤩
Back to the roots!
If i should meet Paul McCartney in Heaven one day and he starts playing the songs off this album, i would have to say that he was dead and William Campbell came in as a replacement for him.
That being said, it's not his worst album. That will come later.
He would do Amazing albums after this.
Keep a lip up chaps, there's a rocky road ahead.
I would love to go to heaven and meet Paul and hear Good Times Coming or Only Love Remains
This album sounds unique to Paul with all the techno/80’s sound. BUT I hear the ideas and I like a lot of the songs. I would love a remix to make it sound more earthy. Would’ve been interesting to hear what Eric Stewart would’ve done as he was the original producer. …and the cover doesn’t fit the music.
I made a version of this album grabbing bits and bootlegs I liked. There’s some rough mixes out there. There’s definitely good material here.
I could do without the guy having an asthma attack on both versions of this song.
These dub mixes have never appealled to me. Just removing the best bits and leaving the framework with an emphasis on the drum machine.
these mixes are more for enjoyers of instrumentals
@@ricardo_miguel13 Completely understandable. Cheers have a great day
