Congratulations! Looking forward to the release:-)
With all the reissues of later Wings albums, I was afraid "Wild Life" (and "Red Rose Speedway") were not going to get the treatment they deserved. I loved "Wild Life" from the 1st listen. Still do. I remember seeing an interview with Paul where he suggested that people who told him this was one of their favorites may have just been trying to get on his good side. I'm here to say that isn't true. I'm really looking forward to this!
