About
From paulmccartney.com, July 30th 2015:
Released in 1982, Tug of War was Paul’s first album following the break-up of Wings and his third solo LP overall. Hailed upon its release as “exquisitely crafted” by The New York Times and a “masterpiece” by Rolling Stone, Tug of War went to #1 in no less than nine countries. Tug of War yielded such classic tracks as Paul’s #1 duet with Stevie Wonder ‘Ebony and Ivory,‘ the top 10 single ‘Take It Away,‘ and of course ‘Here Today,‘ the conversation Paul never had with the late John Lennon that remains a staple of Paul’s live set to this day. […]
Tug of War will be issued as a 2-CD Special Edition comprised of the 2015 remix of the entire album, plus a second disc of bonus audio featuring eight previously unreleased demos of both album tracks and outtakes ‘Stop, You Don’t Know Where She Came From‘ and ‘Something That Didn’t Happen,‘ as well as demo and solo versions of ‘Ebony and Ivory‘ and more. The Tug Of War 3-CD/1-DVD Deluxe Edition adds the original 1982 album mix and a DVD featuring original music videos for the album’s singles and the brand new 18-minute documentary ‘Fly TIA—Behind The Scenes on Take It Away‘ featuring previously unseen archival footage. In keeping with the award-winning Paul McCartney Archive Collection standards, the Tug of War Deluxe Edition will include a 112-page essay book and 64-page scrapbook, while the strictly limited run of 1000 Super Deluxe sets will arrive in a limited edition acrylic slipcase with five hand numbered prints of images from the Linda McCartney archive.

It was always my understanding that Stevie Wonder played drums on "What's That You're Doing?" and Paul played drums on "Ebony and Ivory." However, the credits above list the opposite. So just wanted to confirm which was correct. Thank you for this amazing website!
Hi Steve, I've checked again various sources - Stevie Wonder played drums on "Ebony And Ivory" and Paul McCartney played drums on "What's That You're Doing?"
