The True Story of Wings Band On The Run LP | 50th Anniversary Celebration 

1973 was McCartney's most Beatlesque year. Not only Band on the Run, But Live and Let Die. And My Love was a summertime hit as well.

Brilliant, as usual. And a very nice tribute to Denny at the end. Keep up the good work, Andrew. It's important to so many of us.

I was 15 years old when this came out. It was the first solo Beatles album and to this day is among my favorites. It didn't hurt that three years later I had a girlfriend who adored Band on the Run but didn't have a copy so we would listen to mine continuously.

I got the album for xmas 1973 as a 10 year old. i loved it. I still have my original Australian copy, and it has Helen Wheels on it, thankfully!

Thank you for the lovely tribute to Denny Lane at the end of your video. He was a truly gifted musician, and from all accounts… a wonderful human being.

This is a beautiful example of how well Paul, Linda and Denny all worked together. It's a wonderful work that couldn't be done now, as both of Paul's "wings" have left us. It's amazing the criticism of this record when it came out. My brother, and all of his "Beatle buddies" just consumed this album when it came out. By 1974, BAND ON THE RUN was considered a classic.

As much of a Beatles fanatic as I am, and indeed was from a very early age, I didn't collect many of the solo records. That said, Band On the Run was one of the exceptions and a huge favorite of mine back in the 70s. Thanks so much, Andrew, for providing your usual amazing job of diving in deep and bringing the history to life! I'm really looking forward to the 2024 reissue!

I had this on vinyl and 8-track. Played that tape a million times in the car starting when it came out. Still love it. The tape is gone but the album is still with me 50 years later! Thanks for the many details.

The song "Band on the Run" was one of the first Paul songs i ever heard as a kid as my dad enjoyed it. Since then i have become a massive fan of Wings' whole discography. McCartney Legacy Volume 1 is an exceptional book on this era of Paul for anyone who's interested in learning more about 1970-1973 solo McCartney The tribute to Denny was quite beautiful and i'm still processing his passing days later. Had the fortunate opportunity to see him in concert this past February and he was such a character during it. He played a beautiful acoustic rendition of Mull of Kintyre, truly a wonderful memory that i will cherish forever. I was listening to BOTR to celebrate 50 years of the album and Picasso's Last Words were playing when news of his passing were reported by his wife on Instagram.

Thanks Andrew. R.I.P. Denny. 🌹

Absolutely love Band on the Run ! Also I think RAM is an amazing solo record too

We saw Denny in 2016 during his Band On The Run Live Tour. I could not believe how good this show was. I never got to see Wings, but this was almost like seeing them in their prime. Denny was a total rock star that night.

The first time I heard the album all the way through was in the summer of 1974 in Wildwood, N.J. It's a special memory for me because that was when I lost my virginity.

My Grandparents bought 'Band On The Run' for me for Christmas 1974. Love this album. Great video, as always.

I remember being about 14 years old and hearing 'Jet' breaking out on the radio here in Canada. Then everyone was getting into this album. Great job again, Andrew. rip Denny

I cannot get over the fact that Denny Laine died on the very day of the 50th Anniversary. I had just re-listened to the entire album, and texted a friend saying how much I had loved "No Words" in particular in that sitting, when that same friend texted me back with the news. Band On the Run is such a brilliant, fantastic album. The first Wings album I owned was London Town, which I realized later has something like 4 or 5 Denny Laine compositions or co-compositions. I love the album and have been sorely disappointed that it and Back To the Egg never got the remaster treatment that much of the rest of Paul's solo catalog got. On another note, in some ways, we can "thank" Jann Wenner for the lukewarm reception to Ram. The album reviewer for Rolling Stone wrote a glowing review (because it's great) and that bum Wenner made him re-write it.

A perfect video to pay our final respects to Denny Laine. R.I.P. Denny, by the way this album is my age!

First, prayers for Denny Laine and his family and thanks for your tribute. Second, and in answer to your question Andrew, I offer an emphatic YES! to more solo Beatles content. Third, thanks again for a fantastic video. Now for my recollection of the first time I heard the song, "Band on the Run." While George Harrison's "Thirty Three & 1/3" was my entry into purchasing Fab material (1977), I remember first hearing "Band on the Run" on the radio in 1973. I was 8 years old, and had just begun listening to my parent's 1960s era console stereo. For my taste, "Band on the Run" was the closest Paul McCartney came to recreating his success with The Beatles. It is a masterpiece and is my favorite solo McCartney, album. Well... solo as in post Beatle of course. It stands up to what many critics consider the best solo effort, Harrison's "All Things Must Pass." Isn't it interesting that McCartney finally got to travel to record an album? Recall that was part of the vision for the 'Get Back' sessions. The parallels to Sgt. Pepper are many as you mention with the "Band on the Run" reprise. No song on the album sounds like any other, another Sgt. Pepper / Beatles trademark. You can tell McCartney had overcome his post-breakup depression. I consider, "Bluebird" an answer song to "Blackbird," but likely in name only with less social content.

BOTR is my comfort album. I love every second of it, there's not a dull moment. 10/10.

I would listen to my AM clock radio in Ohio to catch "Band on the Run" being played on the Top 10 stations. I still remember getting chills hearing "Helen Wheels" and trying to locate the 45 single; it reminds me of John Lennon talking about hearing his first Elvis record. My parents let me buy two singles at the end of my seventh grade year (1974) for having good grades: "The Locomotion" by Grand Funk (still a great version) and "Band on the Run". I still have the 45s. The summer of 1974 my brother brought home a copy of "Band on the Run" album and I got a stereo portable record player by cleaning out a burned-out apartment next door (I also bought a copy of "1962-1966" from that job). Hearing those records in true stereo was such a revelation. Up until that time, I didn't know what stereo separation was in radio and record players. I still have that copy of BOTR, along with one I bought in Germany in 1984 (and still sounds fantastic) and of course, the CD re-releases. It was Paul's best of the 1970s. "Tug of War", and "Flaming Pie" were his best subsequent releases, but nothing tops "Band on the Run".

I was lucky to see Denny Laine perform as a member of Wing at the St Mark’s Square Venetian gig, 25th September 1976. Great video as usual, Andrew

When I was 7 in 1973, I was already a bit of a Beatles fan, and BOTR quickly became a favorite album. (initially via 8-track, the US version of which didn’t jumble the track sequence but did split Bluebird in two). Around this time, I was interested in learning how to play the drums (because what hyperactive 7-year-old didn’t want to play the drums?) only for my mother to point at this album as well as another fave from that time period, Todd Rundgren’s “Something/Anything”, and say, “You should learn to play multiple instruments, because that’s what Paul McCartney and Todd Rundgren do on their albums.” Needless to say, I did take her advice and already have several albums where I played all the tracks to my credit. Thanks, Mom.

This is such a great album with Beatles level material. Growing up I always knew this was Paul’s biggest post Beatles album and the adversity he went through in Lagos but didn’t realize the album was somewhat of a slow burner chart wise in the U.S. and Paul had to be convinced to not only add Helen Wheels but issue both Jet and Band on the Run as singles. I would love to hear the demos he did with Seiwell and McCullough. RIP Linda and Denny Laine. Thanks for another wonderful video Andrew!

In 1974 I was only 15 years old and had limited income from a paper route. I liked the song "Band On The Run" enough to buy the single. I liked "Jet" and thought "Helen Wheels" was okay, but when I heard "Let Me Roll It" on a local AOR station, I had to have it and bought the album immediately. Love the album, and it is by far my favorite McCartney release.

I got to hear and meet Denny Laine in Liverpool during Beatleweek 1989. Outstanding, humble and super approachable.

This is a great album. 👍 As an aside, RIP Denny Laine. He will be missed.

8 tracks were convient at the time in your car as a teenager. Since records couldn't be used and cassettes were not yet as popular as they would soon be . Great program. I love this channel. Merry Christmas to you & fellow listeners .

Andrew, discovered your channel only weeks ago, and been on a binge ever since. Always top shelf quality. Thanks for this latest entry. I missed my chance to see Wings when they played here in the Kingdome 1976. I think it had to do with me being only 12 at the time. Was chagrined to hear what I had missed later on Wings Over America. Thanks also for the sensitive tribute to Denny. Keep up the excellent content, solo, Beatles, or other artists. I trust your good taste. Cheers from Seattle!

Bittersweet indeed. Rest In Peace Denny. Well done mini documentary on a great LP Andrew. That album, I felt, was the beginning of a dividing line between established music and pub rock/bar bands (in the US) and the record store buying public in general. The changes were right around the corner. As for me I loved the album! Sometimes I just need to crank it up and enjoy several glasses of wine. I do get choked up on Picasso’s Last Words to this day. Track to track a great album

Thank you for the tribute to Denny at the end. Good job, sir!

I would love to see a breakdown of RAM. not only one of the best Beatles solo albums of all time, one of the best albums of all time that helped kick off the indie rock genre, despite being panned by critics at the time of release. Would make a very compelling video

Band on the run is such a beautiful song, definitely feels like one of Paul’s most personal lyrics. I don’t see it mentioned frequently but Bluebird is so romantic the “at last we will free” bridge is incredible and very elegant.

my folks had this on cassette and when i was 17, i got a car - i nicked it and drove everywhere with it on full blast !! Great Album.

Great video! RIP, Denny. You are missed.

I think Band On The Run is Paul’s finest post-Beatles work, his masterpiece. The effort put into it by the 3 principles is amazing. And yes, I prefer my version with Helen Wheels. I’m looking forward to hearing the full Underdubbed album as well. Thank you for all your hard work, it’s a pleasure to see your latest video every Sunday afternoon stateside. And yes, I’m more than willing to get your take on some of the finest solo records, as long as you still have plenty of group material. Thanks again and take care!

This is in my top 5 albums. I'm not a big McCartney fan but this album is brilliant, never a dull moment. The reason for its greatness is simple....the running order.

Thank you for the lovely tribute to Denny Laine. And, since you asked, I would love it if you did a "deep dive" into the story of Zapple, or any of its particular releases.

It's hard to believe the album is 50 years old! I remember listening to it while planning my first (and only) trip to Europe. In my opinion, this is one of Paul's best albums, along with McCartney and Run Devil Run. Thanks again for another informative video.

One of Paul's finest albums. RIP Denny Laine.

Your videos are perfect for a Sunday evening.Lovely way to end the weekend.

Thank so much Andrew. Great tribute to Denny Laine there. First, please do more features on solo releases as there's so many good ones. Secondly, for Band On The Run, another great sounding version is the 1993 gold CD issued by DCC Compact Classics. This version is the only one that fixes the volume drop in the title song where Paul sings the line "well the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun." On the DCC disc the volume matches up with the intro and gives the song a bit more power.

I loved this when it came out. At the time many of us thought it was Paul almost making a "what if" Beatles album. Let me Roll It was a John track, and No Words was a George track.

Never made a better album in his life! Great overview Andrew- thank you!

The first time i saw the cover thought would be a musical or something It's even more special ❤🎉

Beautiful tribute to Denny! .. That was lovely

Thanks for the heartfelt tribute to Denny at the end ♥

So sad to hear about Denny. I did get to meet him over a drink at a Beatles convention in LA in the late 80’s…

This really made my Sunday ! Thanks Andrew firstly for your tribute to Denny Laine. This is just an amazing album from start to finish and the cover,inner and poster are just perfection! I found a copy of ‘mrs Vanderbilt’ in a record shop in Barcelona,Spain several years ago and I also had an import copy of the album (the record label has a groove in the rim which identifies it). I’m looking forward to the 50th anniversary release!!

Found the tribute to Laine very moving! thank you, Andrew.

Another great presentation Andrew. I was really into The Beatles and all the solo music by 1973, I was 15 that December. Exciting times for fans because they were all very productive in that early 70’s period.

Band on the run was like my second or third album I bought at 13. I love this album. It is always in my top 10 albums of all time. Thanks for this. I will be watching for the 50th. anniversary issue.

BND ON THE RUN was one of the first albums I bought with my own pocket money. Way before I could buy any Beatles album. My copy, bought in Canada, did not include Helen Wheels. I later bought an American copy of the album because I lost my Canadian copy when I lended it to a « friend » and never got it back :-) McCartney at his best, with Linda and Denny. I get goosebumps every time I hear the orchestral part of BOTR followed by the guitars… Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash. Oh did we had fun listening to it. I still do. Looking forward to February!

RIP Denny, you were a legend! Another amazing video Andrew. I would absolutely love to see more content about the solo Beatles releases! Your approach is one of the best and would definitely lend well to those under-discussed songs and albums.

I love the reprise of Band on the Run at the end of Nineteen...85, it always gives me goosebumps! It perfectly breaks the hypnotic conclusion of the song. Such a perfect album.

1973 was one of the most epic years of my young life so far and two of the reasons were the release of Band on the Run and the arrival of my brother. (Who years later in 2000 was signed by Capitol Records thanks to Sharon Osbourne.) 🎸🎶

Band on the Run was one of my favorite albums going up in the 1970's. Great information about making and history of this album. I'm looking forward to the release of the 50th anniversary edition. Thanks for sharing.

That Moog note on Jet! - Goes to show that every day’s a school day! Let Me Roll It is a song I used to play with my own band, and the guitar riff was borrowed by John (who it was always thought that the song was a tribute to in musical style) for the Beef Jerky instrumental on his Walls and Bridges album. Bluebird is sublime. Mrs Vanderbilt is great fun - I always liked it. Probably my favourite track on BOTR though is Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five - I’m so glad that Macca started playing it live later on, and another song I played many times myself with my old band. Oddly I’ve never liked Helen Wheels - I know the US LPs featured it, but to me it feels very much like a B side. I’m relieved it didn’t make the UK pressings - I would have had to skip the track if it had been on my LP copy! Talking of which, I bought my vinyl copy from Harrods, while on a school trip in 1987! Lovely tribute to Denny Laine - I don’t think BOTR would have happened without him. Denny Laine, and Linda’s contributions to Paul’s music demonstrated that Wings was, at the very least, a trio, not a backing band!

Thanks - a great video of my favorite McCartney album. In the summer of 1974 (I was 15 years old), I brought the album on a self recorded compact cassette (+ a cassette player) to a 2 week scout Summer camp (in Norway). We played it all the time, and Band On The Run has - more than any other album - become the sound track to that Summer and a couple of important years in my youth.

Fantastic info as usual ! Keep up the excellent work ! It has been tough listening to the album for 50th anniversary due to Denny Laine's passing. Nice tribute at the end.

My memories of band on the run, was me around 7 or 8 yrs old standing on the back seat of my mom and dad's car, when all of sudden this song came on the radio. Eventually I knew every word to the song. Now when when I hear any of the wings songs come on I'm transported to a time when life was simple and carefree.

I‘d really appreciate more solo stuff on your channel. Always a pleasure to watch my weekly dose of Parlogram!

Just amazing how many great songs are on this one album

Another wonderful episode and lovely tribute to Denny Laine. Many thanks!

I had this album in grade school.... this is Paul's best album....the other is Venus and Mars.... those two are Paul at his Best.... outside of The Beatles!!!!...but with The Beatles...he was his real Music 🎵🎶

This has always been my favorite post-Beatles album

Great video filled of delightful info Beautiful Tribute to Denny at the end WELL Done 👍🏻

Band On The Run of course is a classic and deserving of its status although I didn't hear it until the early 1980s when I started picking up on the solo albums. I got Venus & Mars first and always loved the feel of that album as it sounded huge in comparison with loads more reverb! A couple of years ago I met engineer Alan O'Duffy (who worked on V&M) doing a presentation on his recording career and he was full of praise for Paul & Linda, saying Linda was the nicest, most down to earth person you could wish to meet. More videos about the solo albums would be great (I'm sure you won't run out of Beatles material!)

Always liked it when non album singles were released. Made them more special. Loved Helen Wheels and was nice to hear the back story to it. Another fave is the fantastic Juniors Farm which I personally felt was one of Paul's best of that era. Nice to see the little tribute to Denny Laine at the end. Very poignant that this release pretty much coincides with his passing. I will be purchasing this on release. Great stuff and up to your usual very high standard Andrew.

More solo stuff definitely, please! This has made me want to get BotR out and listen to it afresh.

As to your inquiry concerning solo works of the Beatles, I'd be happy to hear more historical perspective of each of their works. I very much enjoyed this one. With regard to "Band on the Run", this was the first Paul McCartney/Wings album I ever owned. The first former-Beatles solo work I ever purchased. My older brother had bought some of the last Beatles singles issued and I'd listened to those, as well as my uncle's collection of early Beatles LPs, but I had then been too young to consider buying my own records. I used to listen to this one almost incessantly from the early 70s after it came out through my first two years of High School. It remains - as a whole - my favorite album of Paul's, even though it doesn't have more than a couple of tunes that I've personally performed. I purchased the 25th Anniversary CD, where I first learned the story of "Picasso's Last Words" (one of my favorites from the album) from the track of Dustin Hoffman recalling its creation. I personally never understood the British Press' problems with Paul's early "solo" music (whether with Wings or not). They seemed like such a fussy bunch (even at the time). It was as if they couldn't bear to listen to anything that wasn't "like the Beatles" coming from him, even though the flavors of his creations were continuing to expand beyond what they had been in the Beatles (which is a pretty mean feat). I grew up being rather soured on the critics of Rock/Pop music, because it appeared to me that they couldn't appreciate artists when they grew - as if they only wanted more of what they'd become accustomed to. I still view the early years of each Beatle's solo/non-Beatles work some of the most enjoyable, even though I continued to be impressed by both George and Paul's offerings long after that. I'll admit that, aside from a few solid songs that were hits for a reason, I have long had a distaste for John's work with Yoko, simply because of her behavior during the performance of "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Johnny B. Goode" in which John teamed up with his (and my) hero, Chuck Berry on the Mike Douglas show. Yoko - mid-song, without having done so in rehearsal and without the approval of her joining in on Berry's performance - started wailing into her bongo mic halfway through, essentially ruining the performance. I could never listen to anything she did ever again, because it exemplified her selfishness and self-indulgence over any consideration for artists other than herself (which her continued behavior toward both Paul and Julian Lennon later illuminated). Most of my contemporaries truly appreciated Paul's early work (McCartney & Ram) and my youngest child's generation looks upon Ram as the first "indie" record, appreciating it for its openness and simplicity.

Hi Andrew, A superb video once more. Just when I thought I was fully cognisant of all the pertinent BOTR details, you graciously expose the gaps in my reading, ha! I’ve got quite a few copies of the album on vinyl and CD. I’m actually a big fan of the early CD, the “silver” disc” one. The -1/-1 vinyl is great too, as you say. I really love the album, and it’s been in my life since its release (I was nine years old) when my -older-by-seven years brother played it constantly. I wasn’t allowed in the inner sanctum of his Barclay James Harvest festooned room, but his hi-fi ensured I got the gist of the tunes therein. I’m very much looking forward to the new set in the new year. We’ve taken a lot of pre-orders for it in the shop too. Finally, yes to more solo Paul (and the others) content on your channel, in and amongst the main channel feature, of course. Regards and thanks, Greg.

Band on the Run (single) and Jet have been on my playlist for years. RIP Denny Laine, thank-you for your contributions to music.

Great summary of a great album...I personally can never overplay this one. Also a very sweet timeout for Denny Laine. It was a relief when the Moody Blues finally were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. I seems that Jan Wenner will never allow Wings into the hall but at least Denny could be recognized via his other group....thank you.

Thank-you Andrew! Enjoyed your first-rate, informative, professional video. Please consider a Venus and Mars review . . . a favorite of mine for Paul McCartney and Wings solo work. Thank-you again!

“Being funky adventurous types” Great line LOL etc! Thanks!

Did you ever see the footage from "One Hand Clapping" ...? Paul's rendition of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five just takes my breath away. LOVE THIS ALBUM ❤

Next to Ram my favorite McCartney album Hard to believe it's been 50 years Grest job as alwsys Andrew

Ram is a great album as well and Back to the Egg also is underrated

When I was a kid, I checked this album out from the library and taped it, which held me until I could afford to buy my own copy. The British pressings may be superior, but to my American ears, Band on the Run will always sound incomplete without "Helen Wheels."

Interesting note, I bought the American version of Band on the Run upon its release. It did have the song Helen Wheels, but on the insert with lyrics there was no mention of that song at all. I also had quite a few Beatle albums on 8-track, and one of their earliest American releases also faded between tracks with one of the songs, I can't remember which one. Also, on the Abbey Road 8-track release, they placed Her Majesty as track number 4 in the running order. As always, great upload, sir! And thank you for that great tribute to Denny Laine, he was a faithful trooper in the Wings lineup!

As always, engaging, informative, and entertaining. The DL tribute was fitting and sweet. And yes, please do more of the solo albums.

Thanks Andrew for another great video. I was 16 in 1974, had my first paid summer job. Spent some of my hard earned cash on albums. This included Pepper, Revolver, S&G BOTW and of course Band on the Run. Still my favourite McCartney album. In my top 3 of solo Beatles albums.I was still mainly buying singles at the time and it was a great time for McCartney. From My Love onwards...thanks again

Wow! Awesome Video! ❤ Please create more Solo Beatles Videos in the near future! A Video about WALLS & BRIDGES would be amazing! ❤ R.I.P. Denny Laine! You're heartly missed! ❤😢

Always really really loved this album, especially ‘nineteen hundred and eighty five’

When I was a kid, this was the only Beatles solo album available at my small town Walmart (and later a Lennon comp), mainly because it was the 2010 CD reissue with footage of the sessions. It was also the first time I bonded with my little cousin over music, as she loved the title track. My favorite is probably the bittersweet No Words, which, as a kid, I thought was about John.

As always so informative and entertaining. I think it is a great idea to add from time to time a solo Beatles release. This album has always been my favorite. One thing to mention though was when this album was finally released on cd it failed to have Helen Wheels here in the US, then was released sometime later including the song. So if you were in the US like myself, you bought the original Band On The Run from 1973 you bought the capital picture disc version then you bought the cd not once but twice but then bought the DCC version on gold disc then bought the surrounding sound discs not once but twice because there were errors on the first versions then of course the archive deluxe version…..I’m out of breath…..

Lovely tribute to Denny Laine X

I think this is the point where Paul eclipsed John. I Saw Wings Live at the Hammersmith Odeon in April 1973 and when this album came out later in the year it seemed to fulfill Paul's idea to get the Beatles rolling again. Play small venues, sharpen their act then graduate to larger venues. As Alan Partridge said "Wings were the band the Beatles could have been"

Oh, and more post Beatles videos please. It's a goldmine 😮

Thx Andrew. In 73' I was 16, and I bought my U.S. copy in '74. I bought the 2010 (was it?) cd reissue and I'll never get used to it without Helen Wheels. It's an excellent album and IMO his very best. My fav. tune is 1985, I love that piano. Thanks for the tribute to Denny. I kind of feel like I grew up with him in a way. I bought Red Rose and the singles Hi Hi Hi and Juniors Farm (recorded in my hometown of Nashville). Had two more of Paul's (non-Denny) singles, Another Day and Uncle Albert. ☮

Great video and thank you very much Andrew, especially for some new breadcrumbs of information. This is my favourite McCartney solo album by a mile, since my days in a UK 'public' school when it was released. I remember my general, vague thoughts then that I could be having a lot more 'fun' with my school friends as a "...band on the run"(?!) Fortunately, I bought the Nimbus Super Cut pressing as a big splurge 10 years ago on eBay. Yes, before collecting 'audiophile' LP's grew to its popularity today. It's Near Mint too and really does sound like the band is just right in front of you - absolutely incredible and amazing!!! Very highly recommended to anyone who wants the ultimate sonic experience...as are the other Nimbus rock titles. 😊

"Band on the Run" is a true masterpiece and ranks up there with the Beatles :-)

Love band on the Run. A great album when an album was a thing.

Fine video. Fascinating attention to detail. RIP Denny Laine,

Thanks for the brilliant content (as usual)! I think that it's worth adding that Mrs. Vandebilt was performed in Kyiv as the result of a poll that had been done at a local fan website. It was as simple as that: whatever song from his entire solo career would win, he would play it. The poll was massive, and Mrs Vanderbilt won by a landslide. Apparently Paul and the band had so much fun performing all these hey-ho's that the song has stayed in their setlist ever since. I was there, and it was a fabulous night. (Personally, I voted for Figure of Eight, but no complaints from me!)

In 1985 New Year’s Eve party, we played Paul’s 1985 to bring in the new year. Good times!!

Another excellent video, Andrew. And I really liked your Denny Laine tribute at the end of it. :)

“Band on the Run” is such a landmark album and this video was a great summary of it. I’m sure I would enjoy Beatles solo career content in future videos, though I tend to favor McCartney and Harrison over Lennon, for example. There are so many interesting stories to tell-and you tell them so well. Also, I appreciate your classy tribute to Denny Laine at the end of this video. Thank you. Poignant and well done with “Drink to Me” used to great effect.

Chaos and creation in my opinion is one of Paul’s best because he had a producer who actually challenged him, Paul needs that, and there are a lot of great songs on that album. Very underrated.

You're the man Andrew, I thought I knew everything about this record.
