Paul McCartney Premieres Remastered "Take It Away" Featuring Ringo Starr

Paul McCartney has premiered a newly remastered version of "Take It Away," a track from his 1982 album, Tug of War.

The song, which also was released as a single, features Ringo Starr (and Steve Gadd) on drums and was produced by Beatles producer George Martin, as was the rest of Tug of War.

Tug of War and 1983's Pipes of Peace will be released October 2 as a deluxe CD/DVD reissue. You can check out the complete track listings for both albums below. You can watch the original music video for "Take It Away"—at the very bottom of the story.

Besides Starr, Tug of War features guest appearances by Stevie Wonder (Can anyone forget "Ebony and Ivory"?), Carl Perkins ("Get It") and Denny Laine, McCartney's former Wings band mate. In fact, the album marks the last time McCartney and Laine would work together.

It should be noted that Tug of War was a major success, going platinum and spawning two Top 10 hits—"Ebony and Ivory" and "Take It Away."
