Paul McCartney - Choba B CCCP

Choba B CCCP on 180-gram vinyl LP

Paul McCartney & Wings fans — Paul McCartney has announced updated releases of four albums capturing performances that span from his 1975-'76 return to U.S. arenas with Wings, to his intimate 2007 set at Amoeba records in Los Angeles.

The albums in the collection are the first full length commercial release of Amoeba Gig, from 2007; the 1993 concert album Paul Is Live; the live-in-the-studio set of 1988, Choba B CCCP; and the chart-topping triple LP of 1976, Wings Over America. The releases thus capture landmark shows in McCartney's unrivalled history over a period of more than 30 years, and will be issued by MPL/Capitol/Universal Music Enterprises.

Choba B CCCP, which took its title from the Russian for "Back In The USSR"), was first released in the Soviet Union in 1988. It was the first LP by a Western artist to be issued exclusively for that market. The deeply personal, back-to-the-roots album was recorded live in the studio over the course of two days, which produced 22 songs, and outtakes including "I Saw Her Standing There." The album was released in the rest of the world after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.

Newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios, the reissued album contains the original 11-track Russian release and is presented here as a 180-gram black vinyl LP.
