5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, effortless cool 9 Mar 2002
By J. Whitworth
Format:Audio CD
This album has been critisied for being a band effort, but apart from cook of the house, it really works. She's My Baby is one of the best hooks of the 1970s - hear it once, hum it always. Bewarre My Love is THE lost Mccartney classic and Time to Hide is the best non-Mccartney Wings tune. A beautiful album that sums up the overlooked talent that was Mccartney & Wings in the 1970s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Under-rated 24 Jun 2002
By Mr. P. C. Mattock
Format:Audio CD
Rarely mentioned as one of the better Wings albums, this sold more copies than any apart from "Band On The Run", and it's not hard to see why. Certainly, these tracks have aged better than much of the group's back catalogue.

All five members of the 1976 version of the band perform lead vocals on the album. The two Denny Laine vocals, on the brooding "The Note You Never Wrote" and the bluesy "Time To Hide" are an unexpected highlight. Less impressive is Joe English's mundane "Must Do Something About It", pure filler, although, strangely, I quite enjoy Linda's quirky "Cook Of The House".

Of the Paul vocals, the two singles are so familiar they need no comment and "She's My Baby" and "San Ferry Anne" are pleasant enough toe-tappers. The two stand-out tracks on the album are the awesome six-minute epic "Beware My Love" and the heart-tugging closing ballad "Warm And Beautiful", which would be amongst the very best ballads the great man has ever written but for the awful (but thankfully brief) instrumental break.

Well worth a listen... and if you're a McCartney fan, why don't you have this already?!

3.0 out of 5 stars Listen Out For the Subtle Tracks Hidden on Here 25 Feb 2011
By Glenn Kitteridge
Format:Audio CD
At the time this came out , Wings were at a commercial peak , I personally preferred their early '70's period , when they were raw, but more exciting . The obvious BIG HITS are here " Silly Love Songs " and " Let 'Em In" , both well known to most listeners. At the time of release I loved the "Hidden Gems" " Beware My Love " a much under rated "rocker", and " San Ferry Ann ", which is both subtle and unusual . Denny's vocals on " The Note You never Wrote " are excellent . At the time much was made of Paul sharing the vocals , some felt it was very democratic , some thought Paul could sing the songs better himself , opinions differed .
" Wino Junko " by Jimmy McCullough was nowhere as good or as powerful as the previous years " Medicine Jar " , which was excellent !
As a whole , the album has too " filler " to be a Top Wings / Paul McCartney album . After all these years , "Warm and Beautiful " both lyrically and vocally is superb ! How many people know this track ? Its worth the cost of the cd on its own.

some of the songs are really great hits! This vinyl is old but it's sound is not very bad... the original instruments are primitive.

"San Ferry Ann" is worth the price of the CD. Catchy, haunting, beautiful, a real lost classic. Read more
