Back To The Excellent: Wings’ Much Maligned But Brilliant Back To The Egg Album at 40

At some stage in the coming weeks or months or next year there will be a new reissue by Sir Paul of Macca – his often shat-on final Wings album, Back To The Egg is rumoured to be part of the next round in the ongoing reissue/reappraisal reviewing of the McCartney/Wings canon. It’s possibly my […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 349

Wings, Getting Closer [Single] (1979) I never understood the idea that the band Wings was not good. I grew up on them. I love The Beatles and a lot of what Paul McCartney does solo, but for a while there at least I was a Wings fan – number one. And I always dip back […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1304

Wings, Wild Life (1971) The debut album by Wings arrived swiftly around/after McCartney and Ram and so Paul McCartney was pumping out the music post-Beatles. Not all of it good, but most of it seemed to be unfairly maligned at the time. I don’t have a huge history with Wild Life – my dad didn’t […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1725

The Vinyl Countdown # 1987

  Paul McCartney, McCartney II (1980) I gave this album the full track-by-track over at my other blog just recently. So I won’t repeat a lot of that. This album used to fascinate me when I was young – when it was released. It’s due to this, Ram and Band On The Run – and later […]
