Wings was a rock group formed in August 1971 by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney. The group was the only "permanent" group that any of the former members of the Beatles
joined after their break-up. During its life, Wings had 12 top-10
singles (including one #1) in the United Kingdom and 14 top-10 singles
(including six #1s) in the United States. All 23 singles credited to
Wings reached the U.S. Top 40 (and one single, Junior's Farm/Sally G,
reached it with each side). Of the nine albums credited to Wings during
the group's life, all went top 10 in either the United Kingdom or
United States, with five consecutive U.S. #1s.
Wild Life is the debut album by Wings, engineered by Alan Parsons. It is also Paul McCartney's third album since the Beatles' breakup. Paul and Linda McCartney had worked with drummer Denny Seiwell on their prior album, Ram, and they added Denny Laine, the former leader of the Moody Blues, to that trio to become Wings.
With
a fresh set of McCartney/McCartney tunes, the newly formed Wings
quickly recorded their debut that August with the mindset that it had
to be instant and raw in order to capture the freshness and vitality of
a live studio recording. Most of the songs were recorded in one take.
Paul would later cite the quick recording schedule of Bob Dylan as an inspiration for this. Paul handled all lead vocals, sharing those duties with Linda on "I Am Your Singer". One notable song, "Dear Friend", apparently an attempt at reconciliation with John Lennon, was recorded during the Ram sessions.
This original copy has a much richer sound than any digital recording.
