The Mess or Best Friends - Red Rose Speedway bonus track
-
Anyone here wish that Best Friend was used instead of The Mess as the live bonus cut on Red Rose Speedway?
What do you think the chances are that this song will show up on a potential 'Archive' version of RRS? -
Love that song...too! "Well, tell me why, why, why do you treat me so bad, so bad When you're the best friend a man ever had? "

What do you think the chances are that this song will show up on a potential 'Archive' version of RRS?I assume Best Friend, a great Macca rocker, will be on an archive release probably Red Rose Speedway or perhaps Wings Wild Life as it was recorded durng Wings Over Europe tour in 1972 which was after Wild Life and before Red Rose Speedway. Apparently a live album was planned from 1972 Europe tour so hopefully alot of the live recordings wil be released on an archive release. I would say RRS because Henry McCullough was in Wings on the Europe tour and on RRS. I have also seen live film footage from the Europe tour so that should also feature in an archive deluxe release.

If I had to pick one, it would be The Mess. But I actually think both of these should have been on the regular album instead of the godawful medley that ends the album (cue the howls of outrage, but really, that medley is Paul channeling Bobby Sherman and it's just embarrassing).

Let me guess who he wrote that about. He acted like it was a woman, but I think his initials are J.L.

The Mess is ONE OF MY FAVE Wings' tracks . played that 45 to death (b side to MY LOVE)
-
When I first heard The Mess back in the mid-70's I was just completely blown away by the energy in that song. Like you, I too had the 45 and could not believe what I was hearing. Still rank it as one of my favorite Wings songs of all time.

The Mess Live!
Actually I think he should do this song now...his voice could so handle it. But singing about someone that left him...ehh...not such a great idea.

BEST FRIEND is one of my favorite Wings tracks period!
