Paul McCartney reissuing 1984 children's song “We All Stand Together” as vinyl picture disc
Paul McCartney will reissue his 1984 children’s song “We All Stand Together,” a.k.a. “The Frog Song,” as a limited-edition seven-inch vinyl picture disc on November 6 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the popular British comic strip Rupert Bear.
The song was the centerpiece of the 1984 short film Rupert and the Frog Song that was written and produced by McCartney and featured the former Beatles legend as the voice of Rupert Bear. The movie was animated and directed by Geoff Dunbar. The track was produced by George Martin, and featured McCartney accompanied by The King’s Singers and the choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Like the original 1984 version of “We Stand Together,” the new picture disc is specially shaped and includes the instrumental B-side “We All Stand Together (Humming Version).” The reissue, which you can pre-order now, also comes packaged with a poster. The track has been remastered at London’s Abbey Road Studios.
