The Beatles Bible - Topic: London Town http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/london-town/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 mr. Sun king coming together on London Town http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/london-town/#p35259 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/london-town/#p35259 Well, I absolutely love this album. My only beef is the lack of hard rocking stuff. It came after the punk boom, and yet it had a very acoustic and happy feel to it. Great album, but the fact it was a commercial flop is certainly understandable.

Might give it a shot, although I'm no McCartney solo fan.

I'll give a review after I finish it.

I love 'I've Had Enough'. This is one of my favorite songs by him. I wish he would play this live. 

 

He did, in 1979 on his first and final Wings tour in Scotland.

Enjoy!

Great line-up, great set-list - and then Paul blew it all in Japan...

Thanks a-hard-days-night-paul-2

I have to say I'm Carrying and Famous Groupies are probably my favorite songs from it. My least favorite would have to be Cafe on the Left Bank. I like the lyrics, but the music sounds weird to me. I also love Girlfriend and Name and Address. This album displays Paul's versatility quite well...songs that sound like Elvis, MJ, and purely Paul? I'll take it! It's one of my favorite to listen to on vinyl.

It's middle of the pack now. And all this re-assessment is your fault!! (Though, some more remasters are coming out in late May/early June. Until then my opinions may be a tad slanted.)

Sorry! I also plan to write more about "Press to play" and "Back to the egg"!!

Seriously, dude, if you consider "Wings at the Speed of sound" being one of his best albums, it's obvious you don't have enough of his stuff!!

I'm listening to it right now and I realize that there is not a single song on this album I would skip!!

All in all a very "folky" and happy touch to the music, and Denny delivers his best songs as a member of Wings.

Girlfriend - When I heard it, I thought of Michael Jackson, and indeed it was written for him. Maybe a minute too long, but still superiour to Michaels version

And that's a surprise?a-hard-days-night-george-10 I love that track.

London Town - A bit sentimental, but nicely arranged

Cafe on the left bank - Short, but cool, especially the "in the baaaaaar" part

I'm carrying - As George Harrison said, just beautiful

Backwards traveller - Also short, and that's good, so it's still enjoyable. I like the instrumental part at the end very much.

Children, children - Excellent DL song

Girlfriend ...]]> Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:35:11 +0100
