It was frequently performed by Wings in concert.

The thing I always thought wasn't right with London Town was the mixing. I always found that on alot of the tracks the drums and some lead/electric guitar are mixed far too low  especcially on the rockier tracks. Was this just bad mixing and also recording on portable equipment in makeshift studio (on a boat ) or maybe to subdue the rock stuff to make it a more folky sounding album. I hope Paul decides to remix the allbum, fixing the above problems, for the archive release. I thnk other than the mix the album is very good and has grown alot on me over the years (like a few of Pauls /Wings albums) and is underrated.

Well, after three marriages, our man was finally tamed

I guess some day we will known the Macca Archives, and then we will find this an many other not released songs...I hope to be alive

I can't hear their voices together. Just doesn't seem like a good match. maybe with other musicians like at the jubilee.

Needs more cow bell

On the bright side a similar auction featuring Justin Bieber is at a measly $5,250 http://www.charitybuzz.com/categories/14/catalog_items/318496

I would pay that much to NOT to have to meet or hear anything by Bieber.

I think sometimes that there is no meaning in this song such i wish it to be. I'm not very good in English so i couldn't decide about shades of meaning. And so i wrote there. The matter is that a half year ago i accidentally discover the way how to in a simple way show to many people around the world that they feel so same that there is no need "for fussing and fighting" with each other cause we all one - one but in different bodies - something like that. I was really surprised how it simple can be. You need combine only one simplest psychological test and songs. I found out that lyrics of the songs that i was listen to in some particular moments - when i was in different moods - they tells the same thing as results of the test. And you know what? I not always understand lyrics of the songs - cause i sometimes not well in understanding English aurally with my ears - but i read well - so sometimes i remember songs only for they melodies. And then i pass the test and read it's results - and only after that i translate lyrics of the song completely - because some word i understand in any way - and when i compare them - sometimes they match perfectly. So there is some kind of magic that i feel the same - music is a feelings - with author of the song when he and i think about same things. And when in a two weeks ago i was searching for "Bluebird" accidentally - what a stroke of luck! - i found this song. And when i heard only first chord - then i understand that i feel the same - music make goose pimples have covered my skin. And then i translate text - and i was surprised in very strange way. Because of my idea i see world in different light. And when i was trying to tell to others about my idea - they don't believe that it will work. So they "give the game away". World Tonight I saw you sitting at the center of a circle. Everybody, everybody wanted something from you I saw you sitting there I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music. Caught you playing, praying to the voice inside you I saw you swaying there I don't care what you wanna be I go back too far; I'm in front of me! It doesn't matter what they say They're giving the game away I can see the world tonight Look into the future. See it in a different light. I can see the world tonight I heard you listening to a secret conversation. You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you I heard you listening in Never mind what they wanna do You've got a right to your point of view It doesn't matter what they say They're giving the game away - hey - hey. I can see the world tonight Look into the future See it in a different light I can see the world tonight But more strange thing happens when four days latter i look through all the album "Flaming pie" and found "Song we were singing" and read it. There is such magic coincidence that second song tells too about something like that i was thinking of. Is it simple coincidence - or it's something more? There i should say that i never listen to this songs before - i know all of Beatles songs, many of Wings - but that songs i heard in the very first time. So i was very inspired by this songs - what if Paul was thinking of about same thing ( remember what i was talking about that i simple feel the music - and if i love it in any particular moment- it can means that i think about something that author was think when he was writing song) But he didn't have the way to show to all the people this idea. But i think that now i have found a key. And i want to sing this song (Magic Wands ? Black Magic) There is a crescent key that locks a hole in the door into the pit of your heart the future is the reward white light my time has come all night out on the run from black magic Give me the final piece that holds the puzzles end of all the billions of stars that are the dreams of your friends how could anybody feel the same how could anybody feel the same black magic It is the person's eyes that have the answers in around the galaxy mars a new place to begin white light my time has come all night out on the run from black magic And maybe there is a time to sing this song - there is a final song from "Flaming Pie" Paul McCartney ? Great Day When you're wide awake Say it for goodness sake It's gonna be a great day While you're standing there Get up and grab a chair It's gonna be a great day And it won't be long oh no It won't be long it won't be long no no It won't be long it won't be long oh no It won't be long it won't be long ooh yeah Ooh ooh yeah Gonna be a great day And it won't be long oh no It won't be long it won't be long no no It won't be long it won't be long oh no It won't be long it won't be long oh When you're wide awake Say it for goodness sake It's gonna be a great day While you're standing there Get up and grab a chair It's gonna be a great day And there is so simple idea: I found about 50 matches by myself between test result and songs - they fit to each other very well. Some times i was crying or have goose pimples on my skin in moments then song touch the very depths of my soul. So i think ones - what if many people will do this - then we all will collect all of the matches - and save it. So after that when you feeling something in you soul - some feeling - you will be able to pass the test - it's very tiny and simple - it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to complete - and then you will be given a song that feels exactly how you feel inside you soul. So project will obvious demonstrate how we all feel the same. Musicians feel like any other people - but they have ability to bring out this feelings from the soul in form of the music to demonstrate it to others.

Just wanted to say I am enjoying this thread. I like the Magic Wands song Black Magic and can relate to this whole thread... When you don't see someone for a long time but when you do you can fall back into the same conversation it is so nice. And in the case of songwriters, collaborate to create melodies/lyrics it is magickal.

al Sabah:

Is it charted the way singles once were?

I imagine it would have to be.

They sound like the remixes done at the time of wingspan, they were on a promo cd that sometimes appears on ebay, i think they were sent to radio stations yo generate interest

hehehehe.... I think a really good supergroup for Paul would be with: 1. Jeff Lynne, of course (still love Flaming Pie-in fact, still think the Jeff produced tracks are some of Paul's best. Listening to Long Wave and Kisses on the Bottom show that both men have been finding some inspiration in the past before they became fab. 2. Neil Finn of Crowded House. Neil Finn manages to cast his own New Zealand spin on the Beatlesque without sounding derivative like Oasis, which to me is like REO Speedwagon on a speeded up Revolver album; on the other hand, many of Neil's songs are haunting, cosmic and lyrical. However, Neil suffers from staying in the same tempo often and a little lilt and belt from Paul could benefit both. 3. Roland Orzabal (hope I spelled it write) of Tears for Fears. another great songwriter who has delved into his angst with soulful pop, with a just enough fab trippiness. His last album "Everybody Loves A Happy Ending" makes him a suitable candidate for the group. I hate to sound obvious but a collobaration with Julian Lennon on one track would be a dream. Julian's voice has only gotten better over the years specially with his last overlooked album. Julian sang once on a footstool alongside Tears, "Stand by Me" so it would be wonderful to reprise that track with the supergroup switching out lines.

BertoneBeatle:

I think it's because this was during an era when a certain someone was in Paul's life and it may have been made them uncomfortable to have a Linda centric project be that prevalent. Shame.

This makes a lot of sense. P.S. I follow your FB page BertoneBeatle!

nobodytoldme:

And of course, like every McCartney release these days seems half-baked and hardly thought about, the 7" is now officially withdrawn. Big appropriate eye-roll: :

stuartshire:

Anyone know why the 7" vinyl single of this was pulled ?

Wait, it seems this one is now actually available in the US after all. Unbelievable.

BOYCIE:

audi:

He left Wings...for that?

I can understand why Jimmy left Wings...Paul's enthusiasm for Wings died i think when they left.

Judging by that vid, so did Jimmy's, sadly.

Looks like it's the $59 tickets for the winners.
