Paul offers beautiful flowers!
||Posted ."Flowers In The Dirt" brings back such great memories. It was Paul McCartney's best album since "Tug Of War" (7 years earlier) - and it prompted his first American tour since 1976! This package is chock-full of Paul's most inventive songs - "My Brave Face," "Figure Of Eight," "This One," "Put It There" - just to name a few. Also, Elvis Costello's presence seemed to push Paul beyond some of the mediocrity he offered on "Press To Play" (the previous album). The Best-Buy bonus 45 is also worth it, because the non-album "b" side ("Flying To My Home") is a good song in itself - I really wish it was one of the "extras" on the c.d. The demos are certainly worth hearing - they give us McCartney die-hards more reason to believe that this man is truly a 20th cenury genius!

One of Sir Paul's best
||Posted .Amid all the 80s mish-mash of overproduced schlock Paul McCartney comes out with a pleasant breath of fresh air (largely due to assistance from co-writer Elvis Costello).Probably his best effort since Band On The Run or Tug Of War. 'My Brave Face' harkens back to the good old days of Beatlemania. 'Put It There' is a jovial pop jumpy tune of sugary sweetness.'Figure Of Eight' rings in like an elusive piece of wistful well intentioned showmanship. Like before , the 80s were full of one hit wonders but this one is a diamond in the rough.......

Flowers in the Dirt-McCartney shines
||Posted .Great album...really a gem of the 80's for McCartney. The archive release program has been great if not a little slow. Best Buy exclusives are always welcome...this one has a special limited edition 7 inch single.. Back to the album, fantastic album catching McCartney on the cusp of his big comeback tour. Who can forget the gem My Brave Face, this version has a 2nd disk of the original demos that McCartney and Elvis Costello worked on for this and his next album (and Elvis's).

Awesome music for people who like happy albums
||Posted .Paul McC has some great music. Much of it is on this album. So happy and upbeat. Each song is different. It's a product of its time, back when music was fun and inoffensive. (Isn't that what music should be?) Our 4 year old LOVES every song and, unlike contemporary music, theres nothing inappropriate for her young ears. We're SO glad we finally got this album. We're just sorry we didn't get it sooner. If you want happy upbeat music that's fun to listen to, BUT THIS CD! :-)

Great album with great bonus tracks
||Posted .Paul McCartney seems to do his best work when he works with a collaborator. Here, several tracks are featured co-written by Paul and Elvis Costello, his best writing partner since John Lennon. Though already a great album as released in 1989, and featuring four such collaborations, the bonus disk includes several more, some of which were included on both men's later separate albums. These were demos but so well done they justify the cost of purchase alone.

I love these special packages!
||Posted .5 stars for the music as I am a forever Paul McCartney fan and am loving having his albums remastered with modern technology. The added delight is having the unreleased demos, and hearing a song evolve. I love that Best Buy has these special promotions - this time a 7" vinyl - as I love to be able to get something special along with the album. I always wait to see what Best Buy's offering will be before buying it anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Great Sounding Remix with Amazing Extras
||Posted .The Flowers in the Dirt remix is incredibly clear and the best part is the demo recordings. This is arguably the best reason to purchase this release. It is wonderful to hear these clean demo recordings with Paul and Elvis. There are also other demos which did not make it to the album and it is great to hear Paul's music evolve as a result of his collaboration with Elvis Costello. Highly recommended.

Upgrade for Flowers In The Dirt
||Posted .Sir Paul gives the upgrade to this CD that originally came out June 5, 1989. It's great to have an updated edition of this fine release and the copy I got comes with a 2nd (bonus) disc that is original demos. As a Best Buy exclusive I also received a 7 inch vinyl single of My Brave Face. The flip side contains a song called Flying To My Home. Thank you Best Buy for offering this collectors item!
