About The Record:

Recording London Town was a long and tumultuous project for Wings, which saw the loss of two band members, the birth of a baby and the release of the then best-selling single in British history. Drummer Joe English had become homesick for America and returned home, and lead guitarist Jimmy McCulloch left to join the Small Faces that September. For the first time since 1973's Band on the Run, Wings were down to the core three of Paul, Linda and Denny Laine. In November, two months after the birth of the McCartney's son James, and shortly after sessions for London Town resumed, the Scottish tribute Mull of Kintyre was released to enormous commercial success, becoming the UK's biggest-selling single (even outstripping The Beatles' largest seller She Loves You). Although it would be topped in 1984 by Band Aid, Mull of Kintyre still ranks as the UK's fourth biggest selling single and the largest selling non-charity single. The album peaked at #2 in the US and #4 in the UK. With a Little Luck peaked at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, while follow-up singles: I've Had Enough and the title track charted in the US Top 40.
