    I would love to see Cold Cuts as the next archive release!
    Cmon Paulie!

    Hopefully the never-released single edit of "Love Is Strange" will surface when the Wild Life set is released.

    Yes, the 1991 tour. I believe the 1990 leg did some changes, but by 1991 he was down to "My Brave Face" only. He also limited his new material at Knebworth to just "We Got Married," and you can hear less enthusiasm with the crowd for that one number.

    From what I've read, the goal was to record an album in a week just like Dylan had reportedly done.
    Some songs were ready, some needed to be developed during the sessions — and then came "Love Is Strange" as a jam result.
    Given the material available, "Love Is Strange" was guaranteed to make the album. :)
    However, it was likely the poor sales of the album that led to the cancellation of "Love Is Strange" as a single.

    I hope that 'Give Ireland Back To The Irish' (both sides of the single) finds a way to the Wild Life set.

    An album in a week. Outside of Choba and RDR, this is essentially the only other time he's done this, right?

    The lesson here is to stick to tried and true covers?

    Just out of curiosity I checked the Japan setlists which (I think) were towards the end of the proper tour. Same number of Flowers songs as when the tour began.

    I think the famed Liverpool show trimmed down the Flowers songs.

    I'm hoping Red Rose Speedway makes mention that Paul did an unused piece for Dark Side Of The Moon! (But Denny S. is on it!)
    And, yes, I am hoping that Paul doesn't use the same excuse as he did in 2000 about including "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" in the set.

    Different intentions. With Choba B CCCP, the goal was to see how many songs they could do in 1 or 2 takes, over 2 sessions. It was a warm up experiment, basically, where Paul put the cover songs he thought were best on an LP for the Soviet/East German market and the one original he thought was decent enough as a b-side in 1989 ("I Wanna Cry").

    With Run Devil Run, he knew exactly what songs he wanted to record and told the band, who could rehearse them all ahead of time.

    Wild Life was intended to record without selecting the material first, or intending to put out covers, which is why it's such a variety of material. The down side is that it wasn't anywhere as polished as Ram, or powerful as a debut as Please Please Me, but the upside is that you got to see what made Wings so great: at the core of it, they were a band with a good core that could only go upwards. The live shows that follow in 1972 and 1973 clearly demonstrate that… with the one downside (at least to me) being that, at least as of 1973, McCartney scripted every piece of the show down to the dialogue between songs.

    Japan was March 1990.
    He then went to North America, flipped back to the UK for three shows (including Liverpool and Knebworth) in June before ending the tour in North America in July due to voice strain. Same five songs were played at the end of the 1990 tour.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet. I received an email from Paul's website yesterday with offers for new tour merchandise and there was a selection of shirts available. One of them featured the Red Rose Speedway album cover, coincidence?

    I hope so too, but I can't help thinking they won't be, for reasons below I've mentioned before

    No, not really.
    I just would find the first song that I really fancied, one or two, maybe do that later. Go, ooh, fancy this one. Pull it out, say to everyone, now, does anyone know No Other Baby. And they all go, no. ‘Cause, you know, some of these are quite obscure. So they say, no. I said, well, ok, here’s how it goes. Exactly as we used to. It only took fifteen minutes to show them the song. But these guys are such a good musicians, that then we just split to our various instruments, we just try it. We’re gonna listen to it once, go down and do a couple of takes, get a good take, and it was like, ok, next song. Ching. And that was it. We raced through them. At the end of the week we’d done like nineteen songs, you know.​

    Six songs.

    I've always thought Macca was aping Rod Stewart, who was highly popular at the time. By then, Paul was no longer a trendsetter, but a follower.

    Maybe, but I doubt it. I think he may have accentuated some of the roughness during the "Egg" sessions to give the album more of a "rock sound" but I think the roughness during the 1979 concerts was from wear/deterioration - I don't think it was a vocal choice...

    Paul had the guts to release it the first time. We shall see if the Knight of the Realm will do it again. Besides, for my perspective, it's about events in the past. Not now. It's inclusion should be seen as having no bearing on current events.

    He was definitely more hoarse in 79 and it had nothing to do with Rod.

    Yes. By then, the Rutles were no longer bigger than Rod.
