Back To The Egg

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The promising career of this final edition of Wings was cut short in 1980 when Paul McCartney, perhaps just a bit too elated to be returning to Japan for his first performances since the Beatles' legendary visit 14 years earlier, was arrested by Japanese customs officials with a substantial stash of marijuana in his luggage. But though it's anchored by the muscular drumming of Steve Holly and the solid guitar work of the classically trained Laurence Juber (who's since carved out a comfortable niche as studio ace and innovative acoustic stylist), it's too often McCartney's songwriting that's the band's weakest link. Ostensibly upbeat numbers such as "Spin It On," "Getting Closer," and the big rock of "Old Siam, Sir" just can't overcome the MOR leanings of much of the rest, including "Arrow Through Me." The star-laden "Rockestra Theme" (featuring Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Dave Gilmour, and Ronnie Lane) is rollicking fun, but still not enough to surmount the artistic Battle of the Two Pauls; the Little Richard-inspired rocker and the Manilow-esque balladeer who too often gets the upper hand here. This CD also features the strong B-side "Daytime Nighttime Suffering," a track which may unintentionally comment on the other two "bonus" cuts here, the misfired McCartney holiday singles "Wonderful Christmastime" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae." --Jerry McCulley

Diverse and overlooked.......2007-05-05

Diverse and overlooked. Has alot of atmosphere, its all over the place, not a focused album but a smorgesboard of Paul's ideas embracing music trends of the day. The last Wings album.

1. Reception - A funky dialogue and instrumental opening.

2. Getting Closer - Vintage Wings rocker with a pulsating closing with Paul screaming that I have always liked.

3. We're Open Tonight - A warm, atmospheric and welcoming ditty with a slightly dark vibe to it.

4. Spin It On - A fast paced attempt at punk.

5. Again And Again And Again - Denny Laine's song.

6. Old Siam, Sir - Wing's at their stadium rock best. Killer electric guitar work working nicely with keyboard work from Linda direct from the Orient and a menacing vocal from Paul.

7. Arrow Through Me - Smooth R & B effort. Was a single, quite underrated.

8. Rockestra Theme - won a grammy for best instrumental featuring a who's who of rock legends.

9. To You - Misfired effort.

10. After The Ball - Million Miles - Has a gospel feel to it.

11. Winter Rose - Love Awake - Winter Rose would have made for a fantastic concert opener like Venus and Mars did. I love the song, Paul never sung like that ever.

12. The Broadcast - Filler.

13. So Glad To See You Here - A wild rocker, appretiation for the audience.

14. Baby's Request - Something different, jazzy.

15. Daytime Nightime Suffering - A B-Side. One of Wings best songs, underrated somewhat.

16. Wonderful Christmastime - Festive Cheer

17. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reggae - Instrumental.

A Very Infectuous Record.......2007-04-15

Well, when I first heard this album, I was ecstatic to see Paul still had a hard rock edge after all the interim between the Beatles (i.e. Birthday). This double-album hearkens back to the old notions of hard rock and fuses them with the then-modern licks that Zeppelin and Alice Cooper had set into motion. Much heavier than most of Macca's material, each song on this album GROOVES, at least up until After The Ball (incidentally, an odd but pleasant ballad).
A lot of reviewers (not for this album per se, but on reviews for other Wings albums) like to talk smack on Back To The Egg. they say, for instance, that its hard rock efforts fall flat on its face. and I say that's cobbleswattle! this album vyes for the top of the Wings catalogue, and is very nearly their most satisfying musical experience.
Its good, if you haven't heard it, but it now!!!

Drippy? Scattershot?.......2007-01-16

I remember hearing "Egg" for the first time and thinking, this is the McCartney I remembered! This album rocks and as Paul is wont to do, it gets all sweet and melodic. Variety makes a complete album and the best Beatle albums had a mix of both. Paul always gets slammed for his syrupy side but I LOVE his music and this album is the slick rendition of "Both Pauls." So make your own opinion but be wary o' th' critics.

How did I miss this one?.......2006-11-19

With all of the CDs, albums, and tapes I have purchased over the years, some how I missed this classic, and just purchased this a couple of months ago. This is even more amazing as I have always been a McCartney fan, and own many of his albums and of course most of the Beatles catalogue. Band on the Run and Wings Over America are among my all time favorite albums. Well, this is definitely one of Paul's most rocking and enjoyable CDs. Getting Closer was the biggest hit of this release, and after all these years it sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1979. Spin On It, Arrow Through Me and Old Siam Sir are also great cuts and among my favorites. The best surprise here is the Rochestra Theme. I know this song well as it was from the Concert for Kampuchea, a benefit album released around this same time frame where Paul put together an all star band including the members of Wings along with David Gilmour, Pete Townsend, John Bonham, Ronnie Lane, just to name a few. The best thing I like about this CD is the variety of music and styles, which is certainly the norm on many of his albums. I highly recommend this CD!

This is *it!*.......2006-07-12

I remember having this album as a kid...not knowing Wings was about to break up, but having listened to them all through the 70s, "Back to the Egg" was our first Wings album.

I've listened over and over trying to figure out the words being said on "Reception". Fascinating way of introducing the album, you almost feel like you're dialing into a new radio station on every song, a sense enhanced about halfway through the album by the spoken word cut "The Broadcast".

"Arrow Through Me" and "Old Siam, Sir" are funky good cuts; I find myself singing those songs in my head the rest of the day if I listen to the album early.

The music is unmistakably McCartney all the way. Very entertaining...the fast paced "Spin It On" is a favorite...and the source of this article's title! The "Rockestra Theme", I think, won a Grammy for best rock instrumental, and it _does_ rock!

"So Glad To See You Here" will remind you of Paul's Beatles heyday, and "Baby's Request" will make you think you're in a smoky hotel bar listening to a jazzy ensemble.

Some weaknesses are "To You"; sounds like Paul was trying to do a three chord tune to fill some empty space on the record. Same thing with "Winter Rose/Love Awake", except this was a ballad filler. "Again and Again and Again" is a fun song but goes on too long, in my opinion. "After the Ball/Million Miles" starts out well but by the time Paul gets to the second half, it sounds like he wanted to just put on a half-finished song on the album.

A nice entertaining listen.

Paul's rockiest.......2007-02-14

Wings last album really rocks out and for the most part, it works really well. But, I have always liked Paul's ballads, so this took me a long long time to get used to.
'Getting closer' is the first proper track, after the opening bass heavy quick opener 'reception'. This is a fantastic rock song, with some lovely harmony vocals and a really nice ending. 'We're open toinght' is a little acoustic breather, before 'spin it on', what I consider to be Paul's heaviest song to date, this really rocks nicely. 'Again again and again' seems a little out of place here, and is a bit weaker. 'Old siam, sir' really is one of those tracks that you either like or hate. Paul sings in a peculiar way and it rocks along also heavily for Wings. A great track. 'Arrow through me' is a keyboard based mid paced song, with nice horn arrangements. 'Rockestra theme' is a nice hard rock passage, with guest musicians featuring on the instruments.
'To you' begins the weaker songs. This is an awful, bland piece of filler. I also intensely dislike 'after the ball' it is one of those exceedingly dull ballads that never gets started and is so slow with horrible vocals. 'Million miles' is little better and has no clear structure and rambles on. I would definitely ditch these two tracks.
'Winter rose' has beautiful piano and a nice ghordal structure. Paul tries to sing a cross between Rod Stewart and his own rendition of 'little lamb dragonfly'. It doesn't really work, but because the music is so good, it comes off ok. However, the second part of the song 'love awake' is the kind of ballad I expect to hear from Paul. Beautiful harmony vocals that sound really yearning and a lovely melody. This is my fave track.
'The broadcast' is a little seague which leads into the last hard rocking number, 'so glad to see you hear'. I really like this and the intense vocals. The song reprises 'we're open tonight'. Lastly, is 'baby's request', which is my second fave. Nice jazzy chords and a beautiful melody for this soft number.
This album is almost perfect. The aforementioned two tracks should be removed. In their place, 'daytime nightime suffering' should have been on the album, as well as 'the cage' a fantastic unreleased gem that was left off the album, perhaps because it was also jazzy, like 'baby's request'. Also, 'love awake' should really have been a separate track.

Wings bow out. [3.5 stars].......2006-12-26

Back to the Egg is Wings hardest rocking album ever -- though that might not be saying much -- even more beefy than Band on the Run. "Old Siam Sir," "Getting Closer," "Rockestra Theme," "So Glad To See You Here" and "Spit it On" are guitar-driven numbers. These rock tunes are, by and large, good, catchy toe-tappers. Macca does his best Boz Skaggs imitation on "Arrow Through Me," a funky ballad, arguably the best song on the album. Denny Laine's "Again and Again and Again" is rather boring filler. "After The Ball/Million Miles"; the first half a warmed-over show tune in the vein of "Your Mother Should Know" (but not nearly as good), and the second a white man's attempt at a negro (pardon the word) spirtiual. "Winter Rose/Love Awake" are silly...er...sappy love songs a la "My Love." The rest of the lineup is hardly worth mentioning. Other than "Arrow Through Me," there's little on this album that hadn't been done before by Paul. He even pulled out the old trick of interweaving the chorus from an earlier track on a later track ("We're Open Tonight" on "So Glad to See You Here") See, e.g., "Band on the Run"/"Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five" and "You Never Give Me Your Money"/"Carry That Weight." It's a nice gimmick once, maybe twice, but by the third time it seems desperate.

The story goes that this album was to be a return to the basics to save or revitalize the band, thus the title. Instead, it was Wings' last. When Paul tried to "get back" to the basics with his original band, they split. Coincidence?

During the classic rock revival of the late 80's and early 90's, when I first discovered this forgotten, often maligned album, Back to the Egg was something of a buried treasure. It sure beat the hell out of Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, Roxette, and The New Kids on the Block. Even now, it stands as one of McCartney's better (post-Beatles) albums, probably the second best Wings release. But nearly 3 decades after its release, it is enjoyable but dated. It is a good album but, like most of McCartney's work after the Fab Four, it says very little and has made no impact, whatsoever, on the music world. Enjoy it for what it is, a decent little pop rock record.

Good ole Rocker and soft in places.......2006-05-28

Back To The Egg is Back To The Roots!, March 4, 2001
I rate "Back To The Egg" as one of McCartney & Wings best (in my opinion). I rate it with "Ram", "Wildlife" & McCartney. It's production is raw and gives it a live take feel. If you like some good ole rock, this is a good'n! ...

The End of An Era.......2005-09-13

This is Wings last album. Most likely because of Paul's stupidity of taking reefer to Japan. Who knows what he and Laurence Juber could have accomplished. This is a great Rock album. Paul's bass playing is steller, playing on the new Yamaha bass for this album. Songs like "To You" and "Spin It On" have a cool gritty feel that was missing in some of the earlier Wings efforts. Then he really throws a sweet little song in there "Arrow Through Me" with great melody and cool brass (this song was covered by a jazz artist who really made it tasty sounding). There is a medley of songs on the back side of this (side 2 of the vinyl version, side one was called sunny side up, side two was over easy) that sounds like the Red Rose Speedway Medley. Also, there are a few songs on here that have an "all star band" called "Rockestra" who got togehter I think around a benefit concert and threw a couple of jam session in thats pretty cool if you like that sort of stuff. The best being "So Glad To See You Here". Then to finish off the album (the original version)he adds a nice touch with "Baby's Request". This is reminds us of "You Gave Me The Answer" off of "Venus and Mars" and leads us back down the road to the Beatles "Your Mother Should Know" and "Honey Pie". Paul is excellent in this 20's and 30's style of music and I personally wish he would record some more in this vein on his newer stuff. Paul doing his thing with a touch of Beatle on the side, which we all love.

Better than earlier "Triumphs".......2005-06-15

This has always been one of my all time favorite albums. I own most of the wings catalogue. Nothing matches Band On The Run of course, BUT i personally feel that Back To The Egg is an overlooked gem in the Paul McCartney discography. (See wingspan, only Rockestra theme made it to that collection despite 2 of the hits hitting the top 40 from the album)

We start off with "Reception" which is a nice instrumental which somewhat segues into the first of the 2 hits "Getting Closer". I like the other hit better, (Whats with the lyric, "My salamander") Next is a typical Paul song in "We're Open Tonight" I can actually see him trying to bring customers into a bar while singing it to them. "Spin It On" is next (flip to Getting Closer) Quite good fast rocker, Followed by "Again and Again and Again" I like the dual vocals by Paul & the song's author Denny Laine. I love the line "I'm giving in to all my expectations, the day you walked out of my life" Next up is another flipside "Old Siam Sir" (Flip to Arrow Through Me) I like the song but it gets pretty repetitave. "Arrow Through Me" was the other single off the album. Charting lower, but structurally a better song than Getting Closer. Good sarcastic breakuip song! The instrumental "Rockestra Theme" is next and signals the downward spiral! The only 2 good songs of the rest of the proper release is "After The Ball/Million Miles" & "So Glad To See You Here" The rest suffer and are ok once in a while but i usually skip them.

BONUS TRACKS:
Daytime Nighttime Suffering is a good b-side and should have been on an album to start with. The 2 x-mas singles are nice to have but annoying. At least one good thing about it though! He at least re-releases albums with bonus tracks, some groups don't even do that! (AC/DC!!!) Rudolph is the better of the two IMHO.

BTW the "triumphs" i mention? i think this album beats the crap out of songs like "Jet", "Live & Let Die" & "Silly Love Songs"

Wings last.......2005-01-04

Now if you axe me, and a lot of folks interested in the music made towards the end of the last century's eighth decade do, then this here album is the one you need to acquire if you are at all interested in reliving the times. See, in 1979 the musical scene was in flux, what with Disco pretty much dead, and Punk morphing in to New Wave (aka "Easy Listening Punk") and MTV about to revolutionize television in the US (years after video clip shows had been regularly aired in other nations) Wings gave us their swan song album with a grin and a wink, and then disbanded and never emerged from their disbandonment henceforth and such.

I guess Sir Paul wanted to go out in a flash of glory because he not only had the myriad musical talents of Linda to draw from, he also roped in The Who's Pete Townshend, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Rolling Stone Ron Wood, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and one of the last performances of John Bonham (also from Zeppelin). He also made a slew of videos from the singles lifted from this album and achieved a degeree of success, especially here in Chesterfield County where Paul McCartney has been a favorite for many years, but this here Back to the Egg was a high watermark for his music and the fans here about still cherish this as one of the best... even better than most of the other.... If not all the others.

I reckon this one is Mama and me's favorite too, seeing as how we had so many good times while this here album was playing in the background. Of course, back then we had the LP version and it got plenty worn out and crackeled and popped and hissed by the time we was done with it, but here a while back I went ahead on and got us a CD version of the same album and we done started commencing to play that almost as frequent as we used to play the old LP. I ain't too sure what we ever did with all them old LPs I replaced.... We may have sold them in a rummage sale or donated them to the Elk's Club Chairty Tag Sale, or I may have used them as skeet when I was attempting to teach Junior how to maniupulate a shotgun. We used to toss old LPs up in the air and have him aim and shoot, but he never did get to where he could shoot any of them and them old LPs would spin off out of control in to the neighbor's trailer or up in to their chciken shack or over to the carport and wedge up under one of them cars up on blocks.

Junior would follow the LP pretty good until he had to pull the trigger, but then he'd get him a cinch in his swing and kind tossle the shotgun one way or the other and then he'd pull the trigger and send a cloud of shot out through the neighborhood. He done hit the old Ford belonging to the Williamses, and twice hit the trailer belonging to the Swain Brothers (Clem and Bobby-John) . They come out and axed if we could teach him how to shoot the shotgun on some other street because they was all concerened about Junior possibly accidently shootin' one of their butane tanks what they store beside their trailer. So, we just give up and went on back in to the Huckabe double wide trailer and had us some refreshement and listened to Back to the Egg... which I recommend as a right good album and a fine addition to your collection.
