Paul McCartney - Take It Away (Parlophone)

What's amazing about Macca is that he makes everything sound so effortless. He probably knocked this one out while boiling the milk for the family's cocoa. The song bounces along, picking up en route honeyed harmonies, quick-fire guitar and snappy brass. Watch it streak into the top five. (Ian Birch, Smash Hits, July 8, 1982)

With A Little Help From My Friends: Ringo Starr played drums on this one.
