The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.
I used to hate this album but it has grown on me over the years.
Once this and Red Rose Speedway and Band on the Run are out of the way, we'll have done every Wings album and have total knowledge of the band the Beatles could only aspire to be.
My current ranking of Wings studio albums is:
Venus and Mars Back to the Egg. Band on the Run London Town Wings at the Speed of Sound Wildlife Red Rose Speedway

Incidentally before I forget, Girlschool
Took their name off the B side to Mull Of Kintyre.
Or was it a double A side?

They can do their squats while they're listening.

I've got it warming up the turntable, It takes 20 minutes or so to reach peak pitch stability!
Not that I can actually hear any difference

This is a very odd track. It's got one of the greatest melody's Macca's ever written but the lyrics are distracted, depressive and seem aimless.

I do feel this song captures the feel of the entire album. Ennui seems to have taken a grip upon Macca.

Duelling guitars.
I believe they're played by Paul and Denny, as Jimmy had gone, by this point.
