Detail : | Paul's forty-fifth single. Credited to "Paul McCartney".
"Birthday" was issued to coincide with what would have been John Lennon's 50th birthday.
All versions of this release only carried live recordings.
The same day a CD single and 12" are released, which both added the tracks, "P.S. Love Me Do" recorded on 21st April 1990
The single was released in a picture sleeve with the cover photo (as seen above) actually taken in Paris at the concert of 9th October 1989 by Eugene Adebari.
The promo video includes live footage of the band intercut with (surprise, surprise) film of birthday celebrations.
Finally, also above, you will see the label and sleeve of a PROMO(!) for "Birthday" which I received before the actual release date.
14th October 1990 - "Birthday" enters the UK charts at number 30. Chart progression: 30 - 29 - 52 .... out
