Disco de Paul McCartney: “Choba B CCCP (Back in the USSR)”
Descripción (en inglés) :
Originally released exclusively in the U.S.S.R. on vinyl in 1988 by the Melodiya label. <p>Personnel: Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, bass); Nick Garvey (vocals, bass); Mick Green (guitar); Mick Gallagher (piano, keyboards); Chris Whitten (bass); Henry Spinetti (drums). <p>Recorded in June & July 1987. Includes liner notes by Roy Carr. <p>Recorded in 1987 for exclusive release in the USSR, this was rock & roll diplomat McCartney's attempt at international relations. Regardless of the non-musical circumstances surrounding it, this recording is a powerful document of McCartney's life-long love affair with '50s rock & roll. Each tune here is a gem from rock's golden age, material of the kind that inspired a young Lennon & McCartney to begin their life's work. <p>Despite being labeled "the fluffy Beatle" by Lennon-centric detractors, McCartney always had a gift for interpreting R&B-based tunes, particularly those of Little Richard, and his emotive, soulful voice sound right at home on spirited versions of Fats Domino's "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday" and "Ain't That a Shame." Even non-rock diversions like the Gershwin classic "Summertime" are full of grit and passion.

- Yes, it's me

This album was originally released exclusively in the Soviet Union. It received an American release because it was being widely bootleged anyway. It was recorded over two days in 1987 and consists of old songs from the pre-Beatles era. The songs have a very off-the-cuff unpolished feel to them. It feels like Paul just got together with some of his buddies and had a blast playing some of his old favorites. (For all I know, that may be what actually happened). It's a fun album, and Paul's fans should dig it.

- Roots Rock

Originally only released in the USSR, this much bootlegged album was finally in the US after much clamor for it. Just like John Lennon did on his Rock & Roll album, Paul McCartney goes back to his rock roots and covers thirteen 50's rock songs. While some songs are familiar, "Kansas City", "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and "Ain't That A Shame", he really shines on the lesser known tunes. "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday", "Twenty Flight Rock", "Crackin' Up" and "I'm In Love Again" find Mr. McCartney just letting loose and enjoying himself. The album brings across the joy and passion that is sometimes missing from his solo work and harkens back to his Hamburg days with The Beatles.

- Again in the USSR

I had a friend who was chief designer for Lada-- no big distinction, that, if you've ever seen one-- and he sent me lots of records at my request. I wanted Russian rock, but he sent me this Pol Makkartni record anyway! Anyway, I never played it until yesterday, so it's been on the shelf since at least 1990. Pretty decent effort, nice trubute to the classic stuff. I suppose the original Melodiya vinyls are hard to come by after all these years. My son is a bass player and a big Beatles fan, so I suppose I should give it to him. Anyway, the title CHOBA B CCCP literally means "Again in the USSR." Someone up above was wondering what it actually translated to.

- back to basics.great rock & roll

As usual here is a back to basic rock & roll cd. No special effects just rock at it's very best. Great job Paul.

- Try a Combination

No, this is not as good as "Run Devil Run," but then again, not a single song is a repeat. We hear great versions of the classics "Ain't That A Shame," "That's All Right Mama," "Twenty Flight Rock," and "Lucille." All in all, not a bad album.

But once again its competitor "Run Devil Run" comes into play, so what's the best answer? Not too long ago I burned a CDR that was a combination of these two albums, as well as some Beatles performances:

1.Rock And Roll Music ("Beatles For Sale") 2.All Shook Up ("Run Devil Run") 3.Brown Eyed Handsome Man ("Run Devil Run") 4.Long Tall Sally ("Pastmaters 1") 5.Roll Over Beethoven ("BBC") 6.Hippy Hippy Shake ("BBC") 7.That's All Right Mama ("The Russian Album") 8.Twenty Flight Rock ("The Russian Album") 9.Ain't That A Shame ("Tripping The Live Fantastic") 10.Hound Dog ("John Lennon Live In New York City") 11.Twist And Shout ("Beatles Anthology 1") 12.Party ("Run Devil Run")

That works, so rather than put down this album for the junk, I say take out the good songs and mix them with other material.
