From the liner notes:
While this will never be considered one of Paul’s greatest albums, there are enough interesting moments that I got to re-discover while putting this together. Also, there’s a bunch of nice extras to hopefully make this interesting enough for those of you who may not care for this album. Of course all the various mixes/edits of No More Lonely Nights are here, including both Baker edits, the Mole Mix + the Warren Sanford edit. No, I didn’t re-create the edit yet as just putting together the artwork took most of my free time these past few days. I will try to have a go at it over the next day or two and if I like the
results, I’ll sub it in. As for the ballad version, despite what the 45 label reads, the versions found on the 45 and on Wingspan (or All The Best for that matter) are identical. There’s no shorter fade (mind you, I’m going by the US 45 here). I did include the 45 edit of the Playout Version, as that has the clean intro (which was conveniently lopped off Wingspan!) It’s all here, folks.Now, as most of you already know, the vinyl LP version of Broad Street provides a different listening experience as several songs are edited, two whole songs are cut and there’s a tighter segue between Not Such A Bad Boy and No Values. Well, since the programmable feature of Red Rose Speedway seemed to go over well, I decided that a good way to present both variants (CD + LP) without using extra disc space would be rather than include both versions in their entirety, to only include those LP tracks which had differences to the CD counterpart, and allow them to be programmed to play alongside the rest of the album to present the LP line-up should one desire to hear it. So, if you’d like to hear the original LP lineup, program the following tracks in order (either in iTunes or while ripping to CD): 1-1, 2-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 1-7, 1-8, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 1-13, 2-7, 1-15 + 1-8. And by the way, I tried to present the incidental pieces as intelligently as possible. The original Columbia CD had too many (and had occasionally placed the markers in odd locations), the ’93 remaster had too few, so I wanted to get it
“just right”, so I brought back “Corridor Music” as its own track, but kept the “No More Lonely Nights (ballad reprise)” as its rightful place as the bluesy coda to No Values. BTW, I wanted to use the version of No Values with the extended coda (from the movie) very much, but in the end had no room for it. So there’s yet ANOTHER track for the Rarities comp!As far as extras go, there’s only a few that made sense (and would fit). Both versions of We All Stand Together had to go here as that was Paul’s only other release from 1984. And as promised months ago, I’ve also included every variant of released on record/CD. That includes the 45, the three versions from the 12″ single and the Art Of Noise version (which is basically the “Alternative Version” (known to his friends as Tom) with an intro that was cut from the mix as released on 12″ single at the end of ’85. Between all that, the No More Lonely Nights mixes, the two We All Stand Together versions and all the different LP versions, there was enough material to completely fill two CDs. So that’s what I did, complete with disc artwork (created from my own scans of LP labels) and cover/tray art. I hope you guys enjoy this as I felt that with the official Tug Of War Pipes Of Peace sets now out, it was only fitting to complete the “George Martin trilogy”! And so, with ten minutes to spare in the day I’d promised this would be out, here it is – the seventeenth installment in the “Paul McCartney Ultimate Archive Collection”! Enjoy!
The soundtrack was recorded between November and December 1982. As Pipes of Peace was planned for October 1983, the film and soundtrack were postponed to the next year. When the producers felt there was one more new song needed, Paul responded with ‘No More Lonely Nights’, recorded in a 3 hour session with David Gilmour, Herbie Flowers, Stuart Elliott and Ann Dudley. A few weeks later he recorded the song in an up-tempo version, playing all instruments himself, plus
horns added. This is the ‘Playout Version’.It was the last of a trio of album where Paul worked together with George Martin. Both were happy to end the cooperation, with George declaring that he was tired of Paul’s perfectionism and Paul mentioning that for those costs he could have built a studio of his own – which he then did: Hog Hill Mill.

The soundtrack was recorded between November and December 1982. As Pipes of Peace was planned for October 1983, the film and soundtrack were postponed to the next year.

horns added. This is the ‘Playout Version’.18 – No More Lonely Nights ‘Special Dance Mix’ or ‘Extended Play Out Version’. Arthur Baker remix of the Playout Version. Paul liked this remix better then the already released mixes and withdrew the original singles and 12”, to replace them with this mix, on October 29, 1984. This however, is the ‘Special Dance Edit’, released on a promo 12” vinyl single in the USA.
19 – No More Lonely Nights – ‘Special Dance Version’ Edit of Arthur Baker remix of the Playout Version, released on B-side of the second single and 12” maxi of the ‘Ballad’ version. (October 29, 1984)

The CD version was 61:10 – too long for one vinyl album.As the record company didn’t want to release it as a double album, ‘Goodnight Princess’ and ‘So Bad’ were left of the vinyl version and the other tracks were edited. However some songs were longer on the vinyl then on the CD version. The vinyl version is 43:54. To confuse matters further ‘Corridor Music’ and ‘Silly Love Songs Reprise’ are listed separately on the vinyl version (and the Columbia CD), while seguing into the previous song on the CD. Of course, the cassette version was yet another combination.

The title song for the 1985 American comedy film directed by John Landis. As the producers felt it had a high Hard Day’s Night quality, they wanted a Beatle to write a song for it.

As the record company didn’t want to release it as a double album, ‘Goodnight Princess’ and ‘So Bad’ were left of the vinyl version ...
