Iconic Albums - Paul McCartney & Wings - Back to the Egg
By Richard Ward

Step inside the final flight of Wings-Paul McCartney's most daring and underrated project.

In Iconic Albums - Paul McCartney & Wings - Back to the Egg, Richard Ward offers a vivid, in-depth exploration of one of the most overlooked gems in McCartney's post-Beatles catalog. Released in 1979 amidst a rapidly changing musical landscape, Back to the Egg saw McCartney boldly responding to the rise of punk and new wave by reshaping Wings into a leaner, hungrier band ready to rock again.

This book traces the full story behind the album: the formation of the new "Wings Mk III" lineup, the ambitious Rockestra sessions featuring a supergroup of legends, the medieval halls of Lympne Castle where raw energy met experimentation, and the cultural tension of a Britain on the edge of upheaval.

Through detailed chapters that analyze each track and explore the cultural forces at play, Ward presents a compelling case for Back to the Egg as a pivotal and adventurous statement from a musical icon refusing to be left behind. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, musical insights, and historical context, this book is a must-read for McCartney devotees and classic rock fans alike.

Discover the album that cracked the shell and let McCartney rock again.
