First released: 1973
Though the album starts of strongly with "Big Barn Bed" and "My Love", the rest of Wings' second album is pretty dreary. It's better than "Wild Life" that preceded it, but why didn't McCartney put "Live and Let Die" and even "Hi Hi Hi" on it? Even "Helen Wheels" would have helped make it a stronger album. I heard that it was originally supposed to be a double, but the second disc would have been live. Wiser minds prevailed and a live version of "The Mess" turned out to be a b-side to "My Love" instead. "Hi Hi Hi" was added to later CD reissues (along with other tracks), but "Live and Let Die" is still missing, relegated to greatest hits collections only.
