50th anniversary reissue of Paul McCartney & Wings’ 1971 debut album, Wild Life, which found Paul once againredefining his post-Beatles creative identity, this time beginning his tenure as a founding member of Wings. Arollicking left turn from its predecessors, the album was recorded in barely more than a week, with more than halfof the songs captured in a single take. The end result would be eight songs running the gamut from joyousfreewheeling jams to proto-chamber pop to spare introspective musings — all bristling with a raw, jagged energyakin to the grungiest of garage bands — whether on the careening blues-rock rave-up of opener "Mumbo," areggae-tinged reimagining of Mickey & Sylvia's "Love Is Strange," or the plaintive and heart wrenching ballad "DearFriend." Pressed using half-speed mastering on a specially adapted NeumannVMS-80 lathe.
