Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's not McCartney's most musically accomplished album, but Choba B CCCP--that's "Back in the USSR" to you and me--is a loose and loopy bit of rock & roll nostalgia that's at least as much fun to listen to as it was to make. Originally intended as a Cold War-busting Soviet Union-only release, popular demand finally brought it to Western ears, and it's a good thing it did. McCartney was always the Beatles' best Little Richard-inspired shouter and this album allowed him to revisit those days on covers of "Kansas City", "Lucille", "Ain't That a Shame", and "Crackin' Up", among others. Most of the tracks sound like first takes, but that's in keeping with the vintage material, which was originally recorded in much the same way. Who says they no longer make 'em like they used to? --Daniel Durchholz
Description
Recorded in 1987 for exclusive release in the USSR, this was rock & roll diplomat McCartney's attempt at international relations. Regardless of the non-musical circumstances surrounding it, this recording is a powerful document of McCartney's life-long love affair with '50s rock & roll. Each tune here is a gem from rock's golden age, material of the kind that inspired a young Lennon & McCartney to begin their life'swork.
Despite being labeled "the fluffy Beatle" by Lennon-centric detractors, McCartney always had a gift for interpreting R&B-based tunes, particularly those of Little Richard, and his emotive, soulful voice sound right at home on spirited versions of Fats Domino's "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday" and "Ain't That a Shame". Even non-rock diversions like the Gershwin classic "Summertime" are full of grit and passion.
