Description

Paul McCartney's "CHOBA B CCCP" (Back in the USSR) also known as The Russian Album) was originally released in 1988 exclusively in the Soviet Union.

Following a series of jam sessions with various British musicians where they played some of his favourite songs from the 1950s, McCartney decided to record the songs live in the studio. Over the course of two days in July 1987, McCartney recorded twenty songs

McCartney originally wanted to release the album in the United Kingdom outside regular distribution channels, making it appear the album had been smuggled in from the Soviet Union. EMI turned down that idea. Nonetheless, McCartney's manager had a batch of LPs pressed, with Russian-language covers, as a Christmas present to McCartney. This gave McCartney the idea to release the album in the Soviet Union as a gesture of peace in the spirit of glasnost. An agreement was reached with the Soviet government-run record company Melodiya to license 400,000 copies of the album for release in the Soviet Union only with no exports.

The album was released in the Soviet Union on 31 October 1988. The first pressing of 50,000 copies contained 11 tracks and sold out almost immediately. A second pressing with two additional tracks was released about a month later.

The record contains the following tracks:

Side 1

KANSAS CITY
TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK
LAWDY MISS CLAWDY
BRING IT ON HOME TO ME
LUCILLE
DONT GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
IM GONNA BE A WHEEL SOME DAY

Side 2

SUMMERTIME
AINT THAT A SHAME
CRAKIN UP
JUST BECAUSE
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
