BEAUTIFUL ALL MINT Original 1975 first pressing ::::

STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER including TWO large POSTERS and double sided hard cardboard custom designed inner sleeve

"Venus & Mars" has the feel of a concept album but we're not sure what the concept is meant to be - unless it's pure, simple, fun, well crafted pop-rock perfection. It opens atmospherically with "Venus And Mars" and "Rock Show" and continues with a string of fantastic pop-rock gems.This is the last truly great Paul solo/Wings record. Right off, the eleborate Hipgnosis album packaging, with all the inserts, is a work of genius! Opening the album is the "Venus And Mars/Rock Show" segue – a really good rocker – which gives the impression of a harder, more structured approach but nothing could be further from the truth. What with "You Gave Me The Answer" – a distorted vocal simulating a vaudevillian atmosphere is very reminiscent, at least in tone, of Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous", the hook-laden tribute to comic book heroes "Magneto And Titanium Man" and the dancing super catchy injections of the album's massive hit "Listen To What The Man Said", it's clear McCartney's muse continues to scamper between musical genres. The high-spot may even be "Medicine Jar", a plea by McCartney to guitarist Jimmy McCulloch to get straight, a plea that went ignored as he died of an overdose four years later aged 26. It is simple, infectious and memorable and may even remain in the listeners head for years. Other highlights are the slow burning "Letting Go", the oddly psychedelic "Spirits Of Ancient Egypt" and the sweet "Love In Song".

Paul McCartney seems to be one of those artists that is easy to ridicule and dismiss – that nothing he did outside of The Beatles has any relevance or merit and that even then he was frivolous when compared to Lennon. Nonsense really. Venus And Mars will never be considered an exemplar of twentieth century music but it is a lot of fun and surely that can't be a bad thing.
