Recording: Time To Hide, Wino Junko by Wings

Studio Two, Abbey Road Studios, London
Producer: Paul McCartney
Engineer: Peter Henderson

Wings began recording the Wings At The Speed Of Sound song ‘Time To Hide’ on 15 January 1976.

It was the first Wings song written solely by Denny Laine. ‘Time To Hide’ originally had the working title ‘If I Have To Run’.

It was my song. And the fact that Paul wanted to record it was a compliment. His contribution was helping with the arrangement, mine was more the arrangement of verses, choruses. Then we’d go to the half-tempo thing in the middle, and that was to show off the harmonies. Wings was a great harmony band.

Wings recorded a number of takes of ‘Time To Hide’, which was re-recorded twice, on 27 and 30 January, plus several overdub sessions.

Towards the end of the session, drummer Joe English overdubbed a conga part to ‘Wino Junko’.
