About

From paulmccartney.com, July 17, 2020:

The ‘Beautiful Night’ EP is the latest slice of the Flaming Pie Archive Collection to land on our plates. Featuring three different recordings of ‘Beautiful Night’ including the brand new remastered single, a previously unreleased 1995 demo and run through mix alongside excerpts of ‘Oobu Joobu Part 5′.

The re-edition of the 1997 EP “Beautiful Night” doesn’t contain “Love Come Tumbling Down” but alternate takes of “Beautiful Night“, and omits the Oobu Joobu Main Theme on “Oobu Joobu Part 5“.

The below table summarizes the differences between “Oobu Joobu Part 5” released on the 1997 EP and the 2020 version.
