1. Wings from UK. Late in 1971, drummer Denny Seiwell, and ex-Moody Blues guitarist and singer Denny Laine, joined Paul McCartney and wife Linda McCartney to record Paul McCartney’s third post-The Beatles project. The result was Wild Life, the first project to credit Wings. In 1972, Paul McCartney returned to touring, mounting an impromptu tour of UK universities and later a tour of small European venues (with the group driving around in a van), playing no The Beatles numbers. He scored hits with the relatively light singles “Give Ireland Back to the Irish” (banned by the BBC for its political stance, and only mentioned in chart rundowns on Radio 1 as ‘a record by Wings’), “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, and “Hi Hi Hi” (again, banned by the BBC for alleged drug and sexual references). In early 1973, Paul McCartney repeated this pattern, adding ex-Spooky Tooth guitarist Paul McCartney, and re-christening the band Paul McCartney and Wings for the album Red Rose Speedway. Following the release of Speedway, Denny Seiwell and Henry Mccullough left the band, leaving the McCartneys and Denny Laine to cut their next album at EMI’s recording studio in Lagos, Nigeria, recording what turned out to be their breakthrough album, Band on the Run. After this, Jimmy McCulloch and Geoff Britton, lead guitar and drums respectively, joined the band, now named Wings again. The first recording session with the new members was held in Nashville and produced the rocky non-album single “Junior’s Farm”. The new lineup then moved to New Orleans to create the album Venus And Mars (1975), followed by a return to Nashville for Wings At The Speed Of Sound (1976); both albums took top chart positions. During this time, [/album] replaced Britton on drums. Speed of Sound represented a substantial departure from the Wings template in that each member of the band sang at least one song, including Linda (“Cook of the House”). According to the excerpts above, the only albums credited to “Paul McCartney & Wings” are Red Rose Speedway (1973) and Band on the Run (1973). |2. Wings: A Rock band from Malaysia.
