I think RRS is a really good album. It has a fine starter (Big Barn Bed) which has a beautiful refrain melody. What follows is the wonderful ballad My Love. There are some tracks that are just good fun, throw-away stuff, like Get On The Right Thing and (which should have been about two minutes longer, to be a nice country song) One More Kiss. There is only one disspointment, Loup (1st Indian On The Moon) is a boring instrumental which has no straight melody staying in your ears. The best songs are Little Lamb Dragon Fly, a sort of folk-hymn, dedicated to a shhep that died on Paul's farm, which is a banal background, but it has a melody which is very touching. Single Pigeon is a short waltz thing, a song that stays in your ears after hearing it some times, and to which Linda contributes fine background vocals. And When The Night... I don't know why so many people don't like it. It's a waltz that has harmony vocals by Paul, Linda and Denny which remind me of Because. The song is very lovely and it has a really clouless-night-feel. The Medley is a funny idea, but I like the Abbey road Medley much more. The Songs aren't bad, they're also worked out very well and all in all the Medley has its moments. I don't really know why I prefer Abbey Road. The bonus tracks are very very good also, C Moon is my favorite Wings song. A grooving reggae, which I always have in my mind. Hi Hi Hi is a rocker, also is The Mess. Both are worth having, showing the Wings were a good rock-band. I Lie Around is a song, Paul also liked. It is sung by Denny Laine and always remembers me of the Band On The Run style. It's a watch into the future... All in all compared to other Wings albums I would say, it is as good as the much praised Band On The Run. Even better, bacause there are no songs I don't like (while I can't stand Bluebird and No Words). You can listen to it and just relax. A must have. A great, under-rated album by Macca. Buy. Buy. Buy.

Red Rose Speedway Poster

Digitally remastered reissue of their top 10 1973 EMI album featuring the #1 smash 'My Love' & four bonus tracks: the hits 'C Moon' & 'Hi, Hi, Hi', plus 'The Mess' and 'I Lie Around'. 13 tracks total. 1993 EMI release.
You could trawl the rock & roll archives all the way back to the start and never find an album quite like Red Rose Speedway. Which is not to say that it's great. Just that it's... weird. Though it's a Wings album, it's entirely irradiated with Paul McCartney's personality--to the extent that virtually the entire band left him while attempting to rehearse for the supporting tour, claiming they couldn't operate in his huge, overbearing shadow. You can see where they were coming from. Red Rose Speedway, right down to the cover shot of Macca with a rose in his mouth, is about Paul McCartney, specifically his unique ability in the '70s to pump up slight, pretty songs to the scale of "Hey Jude," seemingly unaware or unworried that that didn't necessarily make them as good as "Hey Jude." The high spot is the saccharine sauciness of "My Love," a lurching soft-focus ballad about his wife's sexual excellence. The rest of it--lazy, lushly produced rock, sometimes sweet, sometimes just cloying, but always unmistakably Macca--is worth hearing if just to ponder: "What the hell did he think he was doing?" --Taylor Parkes
