If you're a diehard McCartney fan you already know this album. We owned the album in the 70's (vinyl) and I was so happy to find it on CD. Many great songs. Paul's love song to Linda, My Love. Little lamb dragonfly. Single Pigeon. And an awesome medley of Hold me tight, lazy dynamite, hands of love, and power cut. I've heard criticism on the early albums Paul and Linda did together, as well as the very early Wings albums. Don't believe it. If you love Paul and Linda's music you'll love this, as well as another early album, Wildlife.
......this album was. Had not heard several of the songs on this album for well over twenty years. Played a couple of them on You Tube and was hooked, again, on McCartney. Lyrics / song titles of a few songs on the strange side but the beat and chorus make it great!

Classic Paul McCartney and Wings from 1973. This is the second Wings release and fourth of McCartney's since the break up of the Beatles. The album contains some good rockers as well as the beautiful song "My Love". The album spent three weeks at the number one spot of Billboards Top 100 albums. Only one single was released from the album. The touching tribute to Linda, "My Love" shot to number one on the US charts. The album is just fun. It's nice to listen to McCartney having fun again. For any McCartney or Beatle fan, this album is a must have.
A great though often overlooked period in Sir Paul's illustrious career. This was the first Wings group and they're in fine form. The last two songs are not very good but the rest of the album make up for it.

Released in April 1973, only months before the super successful Band On The Run, and about a year and a half after its poorly selling predecessor Wild Life. Wild Life is Wings first release, and Speedway is Paul McCartney and Wings first release. The band is called Wings, but after the poor sales of their debut, all agreed to put Paul's name nice and big on the album. With Paul's name printed on the cover art and the success of the single My Love, it drove this album to number one.
