MCCARTNEY, PAUL-FLAMING PIE-1997-FIRST PRESS UK-PARLOPHONE- 724385650017. A very rare British original of the cult album. Flaming Pie is the tenth solo studio album by Paul McCartney, released in 1997. This is McCartney's first studio album, after his previous studio album Off the Ground, released in 1993; these four years McCartney was mainly busy working on The Beatles Anthology project. In the album's liner notes, McCartney wrote: "(The Anthology) reminded me of the standards we held to during The Beatles' time; the standards of how we worked on songs. So the creation of this album followed a course "refreshed" by these memories of the past." Since February 1995, McCartney has collaborated with Jeff Lynn, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the Electric Light Orchestra, a passionate fan of The Beatles. The album Flaming Pie is the last to be recorded by Paul's wife Linda McCartney, who died of breast cancer in 1998. Flaming Pie debuted in the UK Albums chart at number 2 in May 1997 — the best initial chart position since the album Flowers in the Dirt eight years earlier. In the US, the reaction was also very positive. The album debuted on the chart at the 2nd place (the best place of McCartney's albums in the US chart since the album Tug of War); in the first week, 121 thousand copies of the album were sold. Both in the UK and in the USA, the album was recognized as the "best debutant on the chart", and also certified as "gold". In other countries, the reaction to the album was slightly worse than on Off the Ground, but in Greece, the album reached number 1 on the chart and was certified gold in Norway. According to the Nielsen SoundScan marketing research system, the album sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide until June 2007. ...more

Ian Gillan later compared this album to The House of Blue Light in 1987: "It's all the same: great songs, but a complete lack of mutual understanding among the musicians and ... weak morale."Who Do We Think We Are did not rise above the 4th position in the UK and 15th in the US charts. Nevertheless, Deep Purple remained one of the most commercially successful projects in the world thanks to the albums Machine Head and Made in Japan, as well as numerous tours. ...more
