Ooh, I like design on the inner sleeves of Wings Over America

[Nightjar]

So, basically, Peter Saville ripped off all his ideas off of Wings.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

My definitive ranking of Wings albums:

Venus and Mars.
Back to the Egg,
Band on the Run.
Wings over America.
London Town.
Wings at the Speed of Sound.
Wild Life.
Red Rose Speedway.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Actually, Denny Laine was on Tug of War and Pipes of Peace, so I could view them as being Wings albums too, if I wanted to.

Wot bout'




McGear is the second and final solo album by English singer Mike McGear, released in 1974. The album was a collaboration between McGear and his older brother Paul McCartney, who produced the record. All backing tracks on the album are performed by McCartney's band Wings,

Ooh yes, I was going to mention that. And Denny Laine's "solo" album Holly Days was effectively a Wings album because all the instruments on it were played by him and Paul and Linda. :exclted:

[The Call of the Wendigo]

And there's Linda's album Wide Prairie which is mostly made up of tracks she recorded with Wings.

I've changed my mind. Let's do something good I've never heard before:

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I now have bookmarked it, in readiness.

I've only heard individual tracks from it. Now I can find out what it all sounds like in one go.

I've not heard anything by them, I almost bought a CD promo copy of 'Rushes' when I saw it for 50p, but didn't.

Mostly for the artwork if I'm being honest.

Spoiler:

That was before people knew who it was. I would have jumped on an EP half made by Youth if I'd known.

[Guest]

Apparently Rushes is more of an a Youth/Paul McCartney album, the first is a ambient remix by Youth alone from samples of the last Paul McCartney album.

I think we should do Rushes instead:
