This week BROW looks back at the early days of Paul McCartney & Wings. Paul chose to limit his band’s live performances to his home continent during these years and play smaller venues such as universities and town halls, allowing time to “build up” Wings and make a name for themselves by getting at least a couple hit albums under their belts before attempting anything on a larger scale. He certainly did not want to rely on his clout as a former Beatle to sell Wings to the world and refused to include any Beatles music in any of the concert setlists of 1972-1973. It wasn’t until after the highly successful fourth Wings album Venus And Mars that Wings toured outside of Europe with a short Australian tour that included 7 shows over the first two weeks of November 1975. It wasn’t until 1976 when Wings peppered the setlist with songs from their newest Wings At The Speed Of Sound album and did a full fledged North American/European world tour, which yielded the only live Wings album. This was actually a triple album set titled Wings Over America which gave us a good 2-hour sampling of the live performances from the 1976 shows, however they were somewhat “doctored up” after the fact.

For the period before Wings Over America, the only officially released live Wings performances would be two songs:

(1) a song called “The Mess” which was never released as a studio recording. The live performance was recorded at The Hague in Holland on August 21, 1972 and was issued as the b-side for the Wings single “My Love” in March 1973.

(2) a 1973 live Wings recording of the song “Wild Life” which appears over credits on the DVD set The McCartney Years.

Because of the deficit of commercially accessible early live recordings by Wings, I have occasionally put up something on TheBeatlesRarity to give us a taste of how they sounded back when they were playing the smaller shows and were still a new band (such as this one). This week’s BROW is another of those times. “Soily” is an all out rocker that was first heard on record as the last song on the Wings Over America LP set or the b-side to the “Maybe I’m Amazed” single taken from this set. It was part of Wings’ stage repertoire all the way back in 1972, however the only official account of it from the studio is from an unreleased film by Paul called One Hand Clapping and issued as bonus material on a DVD packaged with Paul’s recent deluxe edition of his Band On The Run album. The recording presented here dates from July 10, 1973, when Wings were performing at City Hall in Newcastle, U.K. Unlike in 1976, when “Soily” was the concluding encore performance, here it was the show opener. The Wings line up at the time included Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough and Denny Seiwell.

Extra info: In 1980 a VHS tape called Rockshow was released officially containing much of the same concert footage covered on the “Wings Over America” triple album. Although, it was never officially released to DVD, a portion of it is included on the DVD set The McCartney Years (Amazon link listed below).

I hope everyone celebrating had a great holiday weekend, and I thought what better way to begin the last week of the year than with another installment of the BROW? “BROW” stands for Beatles Rarity Of The Week, and my name is Happy Nat. Each week on Mondays, I try to serve up a rare Beatles-related track for you to listen to and read about, and if you happen to have stumbled upon this post on some other day of the year, well that’s fine too. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope it goes down well.

In the early days of Paul McCartney and Wings, right around December of 1971, the band convened for some sessions just after the release of their first album, Wild Life. The testy little instrumental that’s the subject of this week’s post was recorded at this time, and at one point was to be a b-side to the next (and first) Wings single, which turned out to be the BBC-banned protest track “Give Ireland Back To The Irish.” Plans changed, however, and the b-side to “Irish” became an instrumental version of the a-side, leaving this week’s BROW shelved in the vaults. I’m using the name “Rooster” for the track, though I am aware of two other names for it: “The Great Cock and Seagull Race” and “Breakfast Blues.”

The original line up of Wings was still intact at this point and included:

Paul McCartney – Vocals, guitar, bass, piano, keyboards
Linda McCartney – Vocals, keyboards
Denny Laine – Guitar, vocals, bass
Denny Seiwell – Drums, percussion

So now you know that Alice In Chains are not the only band with a song called “Rooster.” For a track that never made it to final production, it came together well, and I love Paul’s Jerry Lee Lewis style banging on the keys. Enjoy…

Thirty one years ago yesterday, John Lennon was taken from us by a disturbed individual’s violence – the very same violence that John himself had spent much of the later years of his life opposing. Today’s video feature is a slideshow of various video clips and photographs of John’s life that were compiled into a promo of George Harrison’s tribute song to John, “All Those Years Ago,” released on a single in May of 1981, a few months after his murder.

George originally wrote “All Those Years Ago” with different lyrics, for Ringo Starr to record. Ringo made a recording of it, but felt that the vocal requirement was too high for his range. He was also not too keen on the original words. Since Ringo was not happy with the song or his recording of it, George took it back, and after John’s death, he wrote the lyrics for the version containing all of the heartfelt references to John that we know now.

George retained the original backing track, with himself on lead guitar and Ringo on drums, and superimposed his new vocal with the revised lyrics onto it. He also recruited Paul and Linda McCartney and their Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, to provide backing vocals. This makes the song one of the few that feature three members of The Beatles after the official breakup of the band. Additionally, Al Kooper plays keyboards on the record. Appropriately, long time Beatles producer George Martin co-produced the song with George Harrison. The sessions for “All Those Years Ago,” as well as the rest of the tracks on the associated album, Somewhere In England, were held in George Harrison’s private studio located at his Friar Park home in South Oxfordshire, U.K.

Today we can hear the song, not only in remembrance to John, but to its composer as well. Two veterans of music’s past, whose spirits remain strong in our music and memories of today. Thanks for stopping by…

1. Beatles Rarity Of The Week – Lay His Head (b-side) This week’s Beatles Rarity Of The Week is a charming...

After the highly successful Wings Over America tour in 1976, Paul McCartney planned a follow up tour of the United States for 1977, but this was not to be. Linda McCartney soon discovered that she was pregnant with their third child (James). Although they abandoned tour plans, Linda’s condition did not prevent getting in a little bit of recording. Paul chose a more relaxed atmosphere though, and set up a studio on a yacht called Fair Carol in the Virgin Islands, with the idea of putting an album together called Water Wings. As Linda’s pregnancy progressed, Paul did eventually end up putting the sessions on hold after finishing up both sides of the next single – “Mull Of Kintyre” (written with Wings bandmate Denny Laine) and “Girl’s School”. “Mull Of Kintyre” became a huge hit in the U.K. and historically the first single to sell over two million copies in that country. It barely charted in the U.S. with “Girl’s School” charting higher than the A-side (#33 on Billboard). James was born in September, but also around that time Wings drummer Joe English became homesick for America and ended up leaving the band. Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch also left to join a reunion version of the Small Faces. So by the time the “Mull Of Kintyre” single was released in November, Wings was down to Paul, Linda and Denny. However, this line up worked fine on Band On The Run, so no need to think it would not work again, especially with many of the sessions already completed earlier in the year. The album was finished up by January 1978 and released in March. Even though much of the album was recorded in the Virgin Islands, the Water Wings title was rejected in favor of the ironic title London Town, after the song on the disc that I am featuring here.

The first single from the LP, “With A Little Luck” was a commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic, however the two follow up singles “I’ve Had Enough” and “London Town” barely made a “splash”. Although, the rise of punk kept many songs like “London Town” from getting much recognition during this time, I’ve always placed it as one of my favorite Wings tracks of the period. The promo video features a surprise appearance of one of Paul’s old friends from the Beatles movie-days – Victor Spinetti, who starred in A Hard Day’s Night, Help! and even Magical Mystery Tour. Thanks for stopping by this week…

Back in November 2007, Paul McCartney released his video compilation, The McCartney Years, on three DVDs, and what a great collection it is! Two of the DVDs are dedicated solely to music videos while the third disc includes concert footage. Despite a full two-disc allocation to videos, there are still many good ones by Paul McCartney that were not included, and that is the reason for this particular post. Maybe one day there will be a ‘McCartney Years II’ DVD set to gather up some more goodies from this man who has been such a phenomenally productive musician over the years.

“Arrow Through Me” was released as the second U.S. single from the last album by Paul McCartney & Wings – 1979′s Back To The Egg. During this late 1970′s period, Paul was apparently experimenting with keyboard sounds a lot more. He had already had a big keyboard-oriented hit the year before called “With A Little Luck” from Wings’ London Town LP. In fact, “Arrow Through Me” was recorded completely without guitars. The backing is exclusively Moog synthesizer, drums and brass (the brass is portrayed as being played by Linda McCartney on a keyboard in the video).

The title of the Back To The Egg album was a term Paul used to mean “back to basics.” The previous London Town sessions were mainly recorded by the three staple members of Wings—Denny Laine, Paul’s wife Linda McCartney, and Paul himself. For “Egg” Paul wanted a more basic type of rock band line up and recruited guitarist Laurence Juber and drummer Steve Holly. This ended up being the final line up for Wings, before disbanding on friendly terms in early 1981. Although “Arrow Through Me” is sans guitar, the rest of the album, true to its title, is more conventional rock ‘n’ roll fare. Many fans I have heard from consider it sort of a mystery that it is one of the lesser noticed Wings albums, yet it is a very enjoyable listen. But then again, to coin an overused phrase, hindsight is 20/20.

Happy 69th tomorrow for Paul McCartney! For this week’s video feature I’m serving up the opening segment of the James Paul McCartney television special that aired on April 16, 1973. The idea of the one hour ABC broadcast was to promote the new Wings single My Love and the Red Rose Speedway album. Not only did Big Barn Bed open the television special but it opened the LP as well. The filmed performance was recorded around February or March 1973 with the latest Wings line-up: Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough and Denny Seiwell. Big Barn Bed was actually first recorded on the earlier Ram sessions of 1971 and a small part of it can be heard at the ending of the track Ram On on that album.

Welcome to another installment of The Beatles Rarity Of The Week.

In late 1973, after the recording of the Band On the Run album, Wings began scouting for some additional musicians to work with for the their next project – an album to be credited to Suzi And The Red Stripes, a pseudonym for Wings doing primarily Linda McCartney compositions and lead vocals. One of the tracks, called Seaside Woman, had already been recorded the previous year, but the idea now was to record a complete LP. Wings was presently only 3 members strong with Denny Laine, Paul and Linda. The first musician brought in to help out was a young Scottish guitarist named Jimmy McCulloch, formerly with Thunderclap Newman, Tundra and a dozen, or so other bands. Jimmy would go on to joining Wings as a full-fledged member the following April, with his debut release with the band being Junior’s Farm. The Suzi And The Red Stripes LP never saw a release, however Seaside Woman was released as a single a few years later, in May 1977. A re-mix reissue was released in 1986 along with an extended 12 inch single mix. A few of the songs intended for the album eventually were released on the posthumously released Linda McCartney CD Wide Prairie in October 1998. Jimmy McCulloch contributed guitar to both the song Wide Prairie and I Got Up, both featured now on the Wide Prairie CD, but originally intended for the Red Stripes album, and recorded in November 1973.

Luxi, from the those same sessions, is a nod to Radio Luxembourg, a main player in breaking the broadcasting monopoly the BBC had in place in the U.K. While Denny Laine sings “I heard it on Luxi” in the verses, Paul and Linda take on the roll of listeners requesting that the DJ play Jet (Paul) and Band On The Run (Linda). As the Band On The Run album would not be released until the following month, it’s possible that this track was intended to be used as a BOTR promo, similar to the radio spots recorded earlier for the Ram LP. Throughout the entire track Jimmy McCulloch is playing a mean guitar right out in the front of the mix. It’s no surprise that the band got him to stick around and do a few more albums with them before his tragic departure from us in September 1979. Paul plays drums on Luxi, but by the time Wing’s recorded their follow-up single, Junior’s Farm, drummer Geoff Britton had been added to the Wings line-up.

In light of Paul McCartney’s upcoming 69th birthday, next Saturday, I’m featuring a lot of Macca-related music on the site this month and I hope it’s hitting the spot.

Additionally, I would like to thank Beatle Ed, from Fab 4 Radio, for making me aware of this obscure little tune. Thanks for stopping by…

Welcome to The Beatles Rarity Of The Week.

By the end of 1971, Paul McCartney had a new band. The first Wings album was released on December 7th of that year and after the addition of a fifth member, Henry McCullough, the band was ready to take it on the road. The new album was called Wild Life and in order to capture the spontaneity of live performances on the record, five of the album’s eight tracks were first takes. Newcomer Henry McCulloch joined Wings late in 1971, after the album’s sessions and had previously been a guitarist with Gary Wright’s band Spooky Tooth. Now joining forces with bassist/guitarist Denny Laine (ex-Moody Blues), drummer Denny Seiwell and the McCartneys, WIngs was now up to full touring strength.

Wings Over Europe van, 1972

The first part of the tour kicked off in the U.K. in February 1972, making this the first tour to include an ex-Beatle, since The Beatles themselves toured. Paul and the band certainly didn’t think this was any reason for reminiscing though. There was not one Beatles cover performed on the tour, driving home the point that Wings was a new band in it’s own right. The U.K. dates were mainly universities (Nottingham, Leeds, Hull to name a few). For the second part of the 1972 tour, the band had acquired a customized van with which to tour Europe in July and August.

This week’s BROW gives us the show opener at the Pavilion in Montreux, Switzerland on July 22, 1972. Bip Bop, with composition credits by both Paul and Linda McCartney hailed from the new Wild Life album. There is also an acoustic version of Bip Bop by only Paul and Linda (and young daughter Stella giggling in the background) that is heard on the Wingspan compilation (see Amazon link below for more info). Although the recording from this show is not of soundboard quality, it still gives us a good idea of the energy behind Paul’s new band in these early days.

This is a promo video made to help sell the 45 released in the U.S. on Dec. 4, 1972. It was the third single from Wings. It is also included on the DVD box set The McCartney Years. The line-up of Wings for this tune was Paul McCartney (lead vocals, guitar & bass), Linda McCartney (backing vocals & organ), Denny Laine (backing vocals & rhythm guitar), Henry McCullough (lead guitar) and Denny Seiwell (drums and cow bell).
