Credited to "Paul McCartney".

A Forerunner to the next album "Off The Ground" which will be released in February.
The A-side will be on the album, the B-side although recorded at the same sessions appears only here.
This single is the first to include a European full barcode on the sleeve, which is 7 2438 80438 7 8.

The same day a CD single, and a cassette single was released.
The CD added two more tracks, both of which were to be found only on the CD. These were "Big Boys Bickering" and "Kicked Around No More".
The C.D. comes in an unusually styled format, consisting of a solid black plastic tray with a wrap-around cover.
The front cover is basically the same as the single, so I do not show it above. I show the rear and a shot inside of the C.D. sitting in it's tray.

One week later a 12" appeared, this contained the single version tucked away on the B-side, with the main track being a disco "remix".
The remix by Steve Anderson of the Disco Mix Club (D.M.C.) based in Slough, England, supplied a
strong driving beat running at 122 bpm (Beats Per Minute) and featured very brief samples from the original sessions.
Another "Dub" version of the track is included.

A promotional video clip was recorded on 26th November 1992 in North Acton, London. The director is Andy Morahan.
The video does appear on the 2007 boxset The McCartney Years.
(I also have of a "Top Of The Pops" live performance of 7th January 1993.)

The single was released in a picture sleeve, but the 12" comes in a plain white cardboard cover.

3rd January 1993 - "Hope Of Deliverance" enters the UK charts at number 30.
It will peak two weeks later on 17th January at number 18.

                                          Chart progression:   30 - 27 - 18 - 21 - 33 - 54 .... out
