Wings: Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, violin, recorder, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, flageolet); Denny Laine (vocals, guitar, recorder, bass, flageolet, percussion); Joe English (vocals, harmonica, drums, percussion); Linda McCartney (vocals, keyboards, percussion); Jimmy McCulloch (guitar, percussion). Recorded at Record Plant Mobile Studios, Virgin Islands; Abbey Road Studios and Air London Studios, London, England. This digitally remastered U.K. edition includes two bonus tracks. By 1978, Wings had just about reached the end of their tether, and that year's BACK TO THE EGG would be their swan song. McCartney and company's penultimate recording, LONDON TOWN, proved that there was still some life left in the band. The title track is the album's most Beatlesque (and hence one of its best) cuts, slightly reminiscent of "Penny Lane" in both arrangement and subject matter. LONDON TOWN's biggest hit, "With A Little Luck" is typically optimistic and catchy as the devil. Denny Laine takes a vocal turn on the light, somewhat Donovanish "Children Children." The real gem of this album, though, is the obscure "I'm Carrying," a gentle, acoustic-based love ballad that is McCartney at his most poignant, and easily ranks among his finest post-Beatles compositions.
