A recent reevaluation of back to the egg has flipped overall public opinion of what used to be considered dreck to what is now considered a top 3 Wings lp. I don’t fall into that camp but I never felt it was dreck either so I didn’t have far to go. It’s in my top 5 for Wings lps behind red rose, band on the run, Venus and mars and London Town. -
My personal favorite Wings album! Probably my favorite record from McCartney in general. Great sounding pressing. -
One of McCartney's more underrated albums, in my opinion. There's just a lot of great stuff on it. Veering into R&B territory on a few tracks even. -
I think I have a Russian version here but the matrix is PMBEJ-59880 but can't find any reference -
