Paul McCartney and Wings - 1979 Back to the Egg. Remastered, Bonus Tracks

Amazon.com

Album Description:
Digitally remastered reissue of their top 10 1979 EMI album featuring the hits 'Getting Closer' and 'Arrow Through Me', plus 'Old Siam, Sir' and 'Rockestra Theme', as well as threebonus tracks: 'Daytime Nighttime Suffering', 'Wonderful Christmastime' and 'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reggae'. 17 trackstotal. 1993 EMI release..

Editorial Review:
The promising career of this final edition of Wings was cut short in 1980 when Paul McCartney, perhaps just a bit too elated to be returning to Japan for his first performances since the Beatles' legendary visit 14 years earlier, was arrested by Japanese customs officials with a substantial stash of marijuana in his luggage. But though it's anchored by the muscular drumming of Steve Holly and the solid guitar work of the classically trained Laurence Juber (who's since carved out a comfortable niche as studio ace and innovative acoustic stylist), it's too often McCartney's songwriting that's the band's weakest link. Ostensibly upbeat numbers such as "Spin it On," "Getting Closer," and the big rock of "Old Siam, Sir" just can't overcome the MOR leanings of much of the rest, including "Arrow Through Me." The star-laden "Rockestra Theme" (featuring Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Dave Gilmour, and Ronnie Lane) is rollicking fun, but still not enough to surmount the artistic Battle of the Two Pauls; the Little Richard-inspired rocker and the Manilow-esque balladeer who too often gets the upper hand here. This CD also features the strong B-side "Daytime Nighttime Suffering," a track which may unintentionally comment on the other two "bonus" cuts here, the misfired McCartney holiday singles "Wonderful Christmastime" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae." --Jerry McCulley

Reviewer: Cletus J. "Bubba" Huckabee Jr. "Bubba" (Chesterfield County)
Now if you axe me, and a lot of folks interested in the music made towards the end of the last century's eighth decade do, then this here album is the one you need to acquire if you are at all interested in reliving the times. See, in 1979 the musical scene was in flux, what with Disco pretty much dead, and Punk morphing in to New Wave (aka "Easy Listening Punk") and MTV about to revolutionize television in the US (years after video clip shows had been regularly aired in other nations) Wings gave us their swan song album with a grin and a wink, and then disbanded and never emerged from their disbandonment henceforth and such.
I guess Sir Paul wanted to go out in a flash of glory because he not only had the myriad musical talents of Linda to draw from, he also roped in The Who's Pete Townshend, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Rolling Stone Ron Wood, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and one of the last performances of John Bonham (also from Zeppelin). He also made a slew of videos from the singles lifted from this album and achieved a degeree of success, especially here in Chesterfield County where Paul McCartney has been a favorite for many years, but this here Back to the Egg was a high watermark for his music and the fans here about still cherish this as one of the best... even better than most of the other.... If not all the others.
I reckon this one is Mama and me's favorite too, seeing as how we had so many good times while this here album was playing in the background. Of course, back then we had the LP version and it got plenty worn out and crackeled and popped and hissed by the time we was done with it, but here a while back I went ahead on and got us a CD version of the same album and we done started commencing to play that almost as frequent as we used to play the old LP. I ain't too sure what we ever did with all them old LPs I replaced.... We may have sold them in a rummage sale or donated them to the Elk's Club Chairty Tag Sale, or I may have used them as skeet when I was attempting to teach Junior how to maniupulate a shotgun. We used to toss old LPs up in the air and have him aim and shoot, but he never did get to where he could shoot any of them and them old LPs would spin off out of control in to the neighbor's trailer or up in to their chciken shack or over to the carport and wedge up under one of them cars up on blocks.
Junior would follow the LP pretty good until he had to pull the trigger, but then he'd get him a cinch in his swing and kind tossle the shotgun one way or the other and then he'd pull the trigger and send a cloud of shot out through the neighborhood. He done hit the old Ford belonging to the Williamses, and twice hit the trailer belonging to the Swain Brothers (Clem and Bobby-John) . They come out and axed if we could teach him how to shoot the shotgun on some other street because they was all concerened about Junior possibly accidently shootin' one of their butane tanks what they store beside their trailer. So, we just give up and went on back in to the Huckabe double wide trailer and had us some refreshement and listened to Back to the Egg... which I recommend as a right good album and a fine addition to your collection.
