In the first year of release the album sold more than 400,000 copies. The Russian release includes liner notes written by Roy Carr of New Musical Express, translated into Russian. The first word of the album's title is often mispronounced by English speakers as / ˈ tʃ oʊ b ə/ rather than the more accurate / ˈ s n oʊ v ə/ (the Cyrillic alphabet has a different pronunciation for the characters "С", "H", and "В" than the English alphabet). The album is also known as Back in the USSR and the Russian Album. The title « Снова в СССР» ( Snova v SSSR) is Russian for " Back in the U.S.S.R.", the name of a 1968 Beatles song. A version of the Beatles' " I Saw Her Standing There" was also recorded but remains unreleased. Other tracks recorded during the sessions but not included on the Melodiya album were " I'm in Love Again" (though it was included on the subsequent international release) and "I Wanna Cry" (an original song) released on the B-side of McCartney's " This One" maxi-single in 1989, as well as " It's Now or Never" on the New Musical Express album The Last Temptation of Elvis in 1990. Over the course of two days in July 1987, McCartney recorded twenty songs.

Įollowing a series of jam sessions with various British musicians where they played some of his favourite songs from the 1950s, McCartney decided to record the songs live in the studio. In March he recorded an album's worth of songs with producer Phil Ramone, but those sessions only produced the single " Once Upon a Long Ago" backed with "Back on My Feet", released only in the United Kingdom that November. Following the tepid reaction to his 1986 studio album Press to Play, McCartney spent much of the first half of 1987 plotting his next album.
