Song facts
“Christian Bop” is an instrumental song recorded by Paul McCartney in 1981, and made available on the 2015 reissue of “Pipes Of Peace“. It was recorded in a small studio – International Christian Community Studios in Eastbourne, Sussex – near Paul’s home, before the construction of Paul’s home studio, Hog Hill Mill.
Prior to this release, “Christian Bop” had been available on various bootlegs, usually along with the tracks recorded with producer Phil Ramone in 1986/1987; which created some confusion regarding its exact recording dates. Also, its title was frequently miswritten as “Christian Pop“
The melody from “Christian Bop” has been used for the track entitled “Dance“, from “Movement III – Crypt”, of the Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.
