April 1982. April 2022. 40 years. A milestone anniversary for one of Paul's landmark and best albums, Tug Of War. This week Tom & Andy are joined by Mitch Axelrod (Fab4Free4All Podcast) to discuss the album, where we picked it up during our fandom. We discuss the origins of the album, the final days of Wings, the tracks, the videos for it, whether 'Ballroom Dancing' would've made for a better 3rd single, is the hate for 'Ebony & Ivory' overdone (we think so) and naturally the post-December 1980 context that the album was made in. You never know who may be listening to ya. Cheers to Tug of War.  May it continue to shine and be the epic LP Paul will be long remembered for! Mitch's Link: https://www.fab4free4all.com/ Tom & Andy
