About
From Club Sandwitch N°43, Winter 1986 / 1987:
For the cover of the new single “Only Love Remains”, it was Paul’s idea to have some children submit ideas based upon a heart. Art Director, Jo Mirowski, gathered a selection from friends and local schools. Paul’s selection, featured here, was drawn by Bartek Skoczek, aged 6, who hails from London. Bartek is oblivious of his current success, as he is living abroad with his parents at present. As well as being featured on the record cover, the heart illustration has been used in various forms on advertising, posters and sweatshirts.
From Wikipedia:
“Only Love Remains” is the fourth single from Paul McCartney’s 1986 album, Press to Play. The song reached number 34 on the UK singles chart.
Release
The song was released as a 7″ single and a 12″ maxi single. The single version of “Only Love Remains” is a remix by Jim Boyer and is different from the album version. The 12″ version of the single featured two more remixes of songs from Press to Play.
