Tug of War (рус. Перетягивание каната)  - лимитированное переиздание на тяжелом аудифильском 180-граммовом виниле с разворотом ( Gatefold) третьего выдающегося студийного сольного альбома Пола Маккартни, выпущенного в 1982 году. Диск является следующим сольным альбомом Маккартни после вышедшего в 1980 году McCartney II; это первый официальный сольный альбом Маккартни, вышедший после распада группы Wings в апреле 1981 года. На сессиях звукозаписи для альбома Маккартни снова начал работать с продюсером и звукорежиссёром Джорджем Мартином, с которым работал во время своего участия в группе The Beatles, а также при записи своих первых сольных альбомов.

В марте 1982 вышел в свет сингл "Ebony and Ivory", записанный дуэтом Маккартни и Стиви Уандера. Он стал хитом № 1 во многих странах и восстановил репутацию Маккартни у публики и критиков, которая за предыдущий период заметно снизилась. Когда затем 26 апреля 1982 вышел сам альбом Tug of War, он немедленно достиг высших позиций по всему миру; за короткий период было продано несколько миллионов копий альбома. В 1983 альбом был номинирован на премию "Грэмми" как "альбом года" (но премию не получил). Вышедший следом за альбомом сингл "Take It Away" также попал в десятку лучших американского чарта синглов.
Британский музыкант Пол Маккартни известен как один из основателей группы The Beatles. После распада "ливерпульской четверки" артист продолжил успешную сольную карьеру. Маккартни является 16-кратным обладателем премии Грэмми, а также признан одним из лучших бас-гитаристов всех времён согласно журналу Rolling Stone.

Рейтинг:
AllMusic: 4.5*/ 5
Muzon-Market ( MM): 9.5*/ 10 ( "Отлично! Безусловная классика от Пола! Потрясающий альбом во всех компонентах, завораживающая красотой мелодий Музыка! Если можно себе вообразить идеальный софт-поп-рок, то эта пластинка на вершине! Восторг от первой до последней ноты!")
