      I have two different pressings of this album, and this one here smokes the remastered blue pressing https://discogs.mejorapp.org/release/11200064-Paul-McCartney-Tug-Of-War

        Tug of war sounds beautiful especially when the orchestra kicks in followed by a smooth transition into Take it away. A beautiful album through and through. Well done Sir Paul.

          Great sounding pressing. The album It says digiltally mixed and it sounds terrific. 10 times better than the current crappy pressings/masterings that the industry is offering.
