Song facts
“Bip Bop Link” is a 52-second instrumental rendition of “Bip Bop“. The two tracks were released on Wings’ debut album, “Wild Life“, released in 1971. “Bip Bop Link” was not listed on the tracklist until the CD release of “Wild Life” in 1988.
“Bip Bop Link” was recorded months after “Bip Bop“, and on the same day as “Mumbo Link“, another album filler of the same vein.
