Wild Life - great podcast but still a poor album

“Luckily for me when I was a kid I lived in a house that bought Beatles records. Wild Life came out when I was 12 years old and all the Paul solo albums up to that point, were in our house. Unlike some of the podcasters I was not capable of giving the album a post-graduate analysis when I was six years old but unlike Ram which old and young in our house loved, Wild Life rarely made it onto the turntable because most of the songs are not very good. I listened to this pod and it is one of the best in the series with the case for the historical importance of the album well made. So I decided to listen to the album, in its entirety, probably for the first time in nearly 40 years. I love Paul’s music but my 12 year old perspective has not changed, this is not a very good record. A couple of good songs, embarrassing cod-reggae and probably the worst two song start to any Paul album. Thankfully this was his nadir and we would see his second coming. Let me ask the question. If this was a demo tape by a new artist and this was taken, in 1971, into an A&R department, do you honestly think anyone would have said - wow this is brilliant and it is so well produced we can put it out without any further work? And yes we can get Cilla Black to sing Bip Bop - it’s another Step Inside Love. No that would not have happened - this is a lazy record most of which he would have dared play to his former band mates.”

“Absolutely great pod where interesting people talk about their favourite Beatles album. It’s that simple. (I’d have given it 5 stars but for the horrible musical mash-ups)”

“February 23:
Thank you for revisiting McCartney II. Dan Rebellato was terrific. And I agree with him, All You Horseriders is a riot. A highlight of the project for me. It was nice to hear a fan of the album talk about it. Thanks, and keep up the great work! Love the podcast.
