Anyone who read my recent library finds knows that I took out Wild Life and London Town.
Well, other than the obvious hit single on LT and the couple cuts that made Wingspan, I don't know anything else.
Can you offer suggestions as to what some of your faves are?

These albums have some decent material. Nothing groundbreaking, but not bad. Other than the tunes on "Span", here's some of the tracks I like:
Wild Life:
Some People Never Know (This should have went somewhere, but it needs direction. If he'd spent more time on it, it may have.)
Bip Bop (silly tune, but kinda catchy)
Bip Bop Link (Uncredited track on original album, a short little acoustic interlude)
Wild Life (Kinda long, but a good blues jam)
Mumbo and Dear Friend are OK.
Avoid at all costs:
I Am Your Singer
London Town:
Backwards Traveller/Cuff Link
Famous Groupies
Deliver Your Children
Name and Address (a nod to Pauls Rockabilly roots)
I've Had Enough (minor hit)
Cafe On The Left Bank
Avoid at all costs:
I'm Carrying
Don't Let It Bring You Down
Morse Moose & The Grey Goose
This is from what I can remember, it's been a while since I've played these albums through..
I like pretty much every album up to "Pipes Of Peace" (some more than others, obviously). "Broadstreet" had three new songs which were OK, "Press To Play" did NOTHING for me, after that the only album I own is "Flaming Pie".

I'd like to add my two cents  Wings Wild Life I have my middle brother's old vinyl copy.It's not a great album - but it's not quite as bad as some of the critics reviews that I've read. If Paul would have just spent a bit more time polishing the tunes.... Mumbo - Well it is and isn't a fave - It starts out so promising, the band are rockin' out then Paul starts to ummm sing. What in the world is he singing about? only Sir Paul knows the answer LOL. It sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.IMO this could have been a classic McCartney rocker right up there with Hi Hi Hi , Beware My Love, The Mess, Juniors Farm, Jet etc - but oh those lyrics.

Pete and Ken have made some great suggestions. I have Wild Life - just got it several months ago - but I need to give it another spin soon.
For some reason, London Town was one of the more difficult McCartney albums for me to get into initially. But it does have a way of growing on you more after a few listens.
