Wings recorded the Back To The Egg song ‘Again And Again And Again’ on 7 July 1978.
The song was a combination of two pieces of music by Denny Laine: ‘You Don’t Wanna Be My Little Woman’, and ‘Again And Again And Again’. Paul McCartney suggested they be combined into one.
The backing track had Laine on electric rhythm guitar, McCartney on bass guitar, Laurence Juber on electric guitar, Linda McCartney on Hammond B3 organ, and Steve Holley on drums. The song was completed with lead and backing vocals.
We were working productively, although the pace was relaxed compared to the strict three-hour blocks of the London studio world. Denny had two fragments of songs that Paul suggested would work well together, so we started recording ‘Again And Again And Again’ with ‘You Don’t Wanna Be The Little Woman’ as the chorus. Denny’s characteristic electro-acoustic folk strum is supported by a slightly R&B groove.This was the first tune we recorded that was in a straight-ahead song form. The recording ensemble corresponded to the typical onstage band: Paul on bass, Denny on rhythm guitar, Linda on Hammond organ and Steve on drums. I was playing a Strat through an old Fender amp, which sonically helped put me in a Steve Cropper-meets-George Harrison mode.
