Beatles ’79 pt4

With the launch of Wings' 7th studio album Back to the Egg, Paul, Linda, Denny and their new recruits hoped to recapture the successes of their preceding record releases - especially in light of Macca's newly inked deal with Columbia Records. But mixed reviews and the absence of the radio-hit Goodnight Tonight on the LP kept Back to the Egg from reaching the kinds of heights that the band had hoped for. Never one to back down from a perceived failure (and still receiving major awards around the world) Macca pushed even harder, releasing targeted singles from the LP and planning a new world tour that would (hopefully) echo the successes he and the previous iteration of Wings achieved in 1975 and 1976. With Paul planning big, George Harrison also found himself moving a mile-a-minute...around the racetrack in Donington. George's motor racing hobby was a welcome release from the stresses of the music industry, and Harrison indulged in the immersion into a new world apart from the self-destructive world of rock and roll...
