Detail : | Paul's thirty-seventh single. Credited to "Paul McCartney"
Released as a forerunner to the album "Press To Play", which followed almost two months later, this single once again appeared in a number of versions.
One week later the A-side was replaced with a Bevans/Forward mix of "Press" which was sub-titled as the "Video Edit" and was a shorter version at 3:35.
One month later a limited edition 10" version was issued (only 6,000 copies), this included both the 7" mixes of "Press", and the Mendolsohn mix of "It's Not True".
IMPORTANT POINT (?) ... my ORIGINAL 10" copy actually has in the run-out groove the proper catalogue number AND
Paul filmed a promo video on June 16th on the London Underground. The single was released in a picture sleeve as shown above.
20th July 1986 - "Press" enters the UK charts at number 32. Chart progression: 32 - 31 - 26 - 25 - 34 - 49 - 61 - 71 .... out This single was deleted 31st October 1987.
