Song facts
“Mumbo Link” is a 53-second instrumental track, which closes Wings’ debut album, “Wild Life“, released in 1971. It was not listed on the tracklist until the CD release of “Wild Life” in 1988.
“Mumbo Link” was recorded months after “Mumbo“ or the other main tracks of “Wild Life“, and on the same day as “Bip Bop Link“, another album filler of the same vein.
