I had no idea about 'Hope Of Deliverance' selling that much. I just remember when 'Off The Ground' came out and that was the single from it and it kind of died here shortly after (I like the song well enough), but then again, I live in America and sometimes we're really behind with the music scene.

I forgot about Hope of Deliverance, that's such a great song!
Better than Mull of Kintyre i think.

I'm playing the hell out of "Mull of Kintyre," as this is the first year in my life I've heard the song.  Whistling, singing, annoying friends and co-workers...you name it, I'm doing it with "Mull of Kintyre."  Wonderful wonderful song.  Macca had asked Lennon if he would join him on it, but Lennon refused.

that sounds like bullsh*t to me...can you offer up some evidence if it is not to much trouble.... :-/

Yeah, i'd be curious as well.

I know I read it somewheres, but now I don't remember where.  I thought it was from Wikipedia, but no.  I'm curious now myself, I know I didn't dream it.  If I stumble across it, I'll post.

Well, if its from Wikipedia, dont bother posting that either, as its filled with opinions and half truths.

Wikipeadia is good but also dodgy on info at times, so my guess is that
it's wrong. I coundn't see Mull of Kintyre being Lennon's cup of tea.

It's pure McCartney... number one, the melody is reminscient of his plaintive melodic style--but more importantly is the setting...Paul, not John was enamoured of the Scottish venue....can you see John saying "yeah, drop the bagpipes down in this part.." Not in your wildest dreams.
