Awaiting for Evri to arrive and collect my daughter's Sindy sales, I'm currently listening to an old fave LP, Band on the Run, by Wings.
I always found Wings pleasantly melodic and wistful. Paul and Linda McCartney, young husband and wife, playing together in the band really counted. You could feel the warmth.
I guess I'm nostalgic about them, reminding me of the Missus and I as was in the Seventies, a shaggy loved-up couple, although we've been apart much more. Paul and Linda were apart for a single night before she sadly passed away I've read.
Anyway, enough soppy stuff. Band on the Run is one of many fine Wings albums. Wildlife and RAM are two more I really enjoyed as a teenager in the Seventies and still do.
They released loads of singles too: Jet, Juniors Farm, The Frog Chorus, Live and Let Die to name a few.
Do you like Wings?
Not everyone's cup of tea I know, can you name the people on the cover of Band on the Run?
I have the single of Band on the run.Bought it with pocket change when I was a kid.It still plays with no skips.
