About
From July 24 to July 27, Paul McCartney and his new band Wings spent three days recording the basic tracks of their first album, “Wild Life“. They continued on July 29 (and July 30 ?)
On this day, Tony Clark and Alan Parsons made rough mixes on the eight songs recorded so far.
I did a lot of mixing and engineering on “Wild Life” and I was sent off to mix a couple of tunes. And one of the songs, can’t really remember which, I did my own little mix and they liked it and left it that way. More than the usual role of engineer or at least assistant. In a way that was my first big break, that credit (as an engineer). It was a good album.

I also mixed the song “I Am Your Singer.” It was supposed to be a rough mix, but Paul liked it so much it ended up on the record. I’m on backing vocals on “Tomorrow” as well. On Wild Life, I was slightly surprised that Paul didn’t want to apply the same amount of polish as he had [on previous records]. There was no spending all night getting a bass part. He wanted it just to be a band.

The final mix of “I Am Your Singer” was also made on this day.
