‘Good Sign’ was a b-side of Paul McCartney’s ‘This One’ single.
It was started on 2 June 1988 at McCartney’s Hog Hill Mill studio, during the Flowers In The Dirt album sessions. The song was completed on 8 December at Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles.
‘Good Sign’ was a contender for the album, but was removed at a late stage.
