I’m excited to get Luca’s book. On the subject of Mull of Kintyre in the US, I did notice this weekend while listening to a replay of Casey Cason’s American top 40 that the number one song in 1972 was Amazing Grace by the Scottish Dragoon Guards…pretty much entirely bagpipes. So perhaps there is a different reason (other than bagpipes) they didn’t release M of K in the US.

cool discussion guys. Thanks! deep cuts are not only b sides although I was tempted to go with "the mess", "girls school" 'daytime nightime" & many others for my list.... I went album deep cuts... Macca 1 - Momma Miss America - showing off his instrumental skill, his guitar playing is ferocious imo Ram - Smile Away - I know the pattern I show, love heavy guitar playing... but...this song has heavy everything, bass, drums vocals and those guitars! Wild Life - Dear Friend - wait, a piano ballad? yea my younger ears did not like this song at all. my older ears love it! Red Rose Speedway - Night out - cheating here but this groove and cool guitar(s) make this song a "wonder why it wasn't on" the released 1973 album. BOTR - Bluebird - l adore this song. from harmonies to deft acoustic guitar picking. nothing on BOTR is a deep cut however this is close. Venus - Medicine Jar - Jimmy Macs singing & guitar playing are very heavy. ... metal was not part of Wings vocabulary however Jimmy Macs guitar/riffing was as close to heavy metal as we would hear in Wings. Speed - Beware my Love - you 3 talked about this one and it remains one of the very best "live wings songs" presented. the album track is heavy, played live it is even heavier. the version with John Bonham "Beware my Achilles Last stand love" is interesting. London Town - Cafe on the left bank - Jimmy Macs apparent guitar swan song in Wings, my 15-year-old ears at the time loved this track & morse moose (another deep one). it still rocks today! Back to the egg - Old Siam, sir - our English cohorts will disagree because it was a single over there but over here? another of the few "metal" songs associated with Wings. Paul's voice here must be heard in headphones at loudest volume for fullest effect imo! Macca 2 - on the way - memories of my first listen. after the effervescent "Coming up" had me dancing around the room & the annoying "Temporary Secretary Secretaire" (ugh) had me shaking my head and saying "WTF am I listening to?"...this song came on, I sat down, and I was transfixed. a slow burning Blues in summer 1980 after what we just heard? he never really did anything similar to this...his voice sounds distant and his guitar very heavy. my fav song so far on the album and all these years later...still my fav song on the album

The "isolation" of tracks is done using AI and adds sounds (audio data) that weren't there before, where the frequency of one instrument masked over the frequency of another instrument.

I don't know if you've listened to other interviews on this channel, or at my other podcasts, but I've always recognized wings as a real band, with Paul trying to establish them as such. I just wanted Luca's view on the subject. No matter how strongly I feel on this subject, there will always be opposing viewpoints, which I have to deal with.

I always listen to RRS as a double album nowadays. I made up my own 18-track disc of all the studio stuff from those sessions and it might be my favorite Wings album. I think it could have been successful despite the added expense of a second disc. I think "Get on the Right Thing" and "I Would Only Smile" could have been released as singles.

Did you watch this interview, and if so, learn anything new? With every artist's catalog, there will always be some that are analyzed more than others, especially if they are considered classics. If you follow my work on this channel, my radio show, and podcasts, you'll know that I try to cover all the Beatles' group and solo-works. Luca's latest book happens to be on Band On The Run, and he's a great author and guest to have on, so it was natural to do a show with him about that album.

Ken, I appreciate your vast Beatles/solo knowledge. As a first generation Beatles fan, the stories and news articles are always interesting. Luca’s always a fascinating guest on your podcasts and is very knowledgeable concerning Paul McCartney’s career and work. I have yet to read any of Luca’s books, which I have no doubt are tremendous reads. The Band On The Run story has been has been told and documented by so many people over the years, apart from Paul himself on several occasions. So no, can’t say I learned anything new. I will certainly buy Luca’s books in time!

Band on the Run will always be my Macca summer album. I was 9 years old when it came out. I was already a huge Beatle fan and I couldn’t get enough of the album and felt Paul finally nailed it without question. The title track, Jet, Helen Wheels and 1985 were the best. Coming off of Live and Let Die helped a lot too. My favorite album is RAM and Back to the Egg is in my top five. I’ve always thought that BTTE as “son of RAM”.

It’s always fun to hear what others appreciate and why. Daryl and I clearly share excellent taste as Arrow Through Me and On The Way are amongst my very favourite Macca songs - deep cuts or otherwise. Picking a top ten is so hard considering the breadth of the catalogue, but mine would have to include Kicked Around No More Some People Never Know Love in Song I’m Carrying Arrow Through Me On The Way Footprints Distractions Little Willow Flying To My Home Back on my Feet.

There are obvious examples of songs from his Beatles days that are among his best lyrically. I just find so much of his music from the 80's on up to be more personal and have deeper meanings. I think The End Of The End for example is one of Paul's greatest lyrics, and best songs ever.

Off topic but: RIP Françoise Hardy. The great woman of chanson of the 60s died with 80 years after a fight with cancer where she couldn't sing in her last years. Besides her early beat music that made her popular and part of the yéyé-girl scene she was an style icon of her time, admired by Bob Dylan who sended her hopeless love letters and refused to continue the concert if she won't talk to him backstage. Also admired by Mick Jagger and David Bowie, the Beatles met her aswell with Paul going to dinner with her when they played in Paris 1965. She also did a fine duet with the band Blur called "To The End (La Comedie)". Five of her best songs: 1. Tous les garçons et les filles (1962, her breakthrough hit with only 18 years in beat music style, the album was mostly written by her, a year before the Beatles relasted their first and only half self written album) 2. Le temps de l'amour (1962, got more popular with the Wes Anderson film Moonrise Kingdom and a modern remix) 3. Mon amie la rose (1964, slow and melancholic song) 4. Comment te dire adieu (1968, another great hit with good orchstration, an original english song redone by french master Serge Gainsbourg) 5. Message personnel (1973, a very mature and good song after her hype)

I would be cautious do do the live stuff because if you tone down the screaming or enhance the audio in any way it’s not really the true live shows. I say this because the main reason that they hated the touring was the fact that most of it was a drag because of the screaming and thus the musicality suffered. A live record is something that is supposed to capture the actual show. I would hate to have a Beatles album turn into something like KISS Alive. I’m worried that hearing how shoddy the Beatles say they were playing would be interesting but not a quality product. This is a huge subject and one that can’t be done properly in a KZfaq comment, maybe a good topic for an entire podcast. Call me boring but I really want Rubber Soul first.
