I was 15 when I attended the Wings Over America concert in KC on May 29th 1976. It was my first concert. It remains the greatest concert I have ever been to. And since that memorable night I have seen most all the gr8 bands. Back in those days FM radio was considered 'pirate radio' and the station was on a boat in the river. We would wait for hours to hear those Wings tunes come on the radio late at night. It really was an amazing time back in those days. For me, those 3 years from Red Rose Speedway to Venus and Mars culminated into that special night of May 29th. I went from a 12yr old kid, hanging out in "the stilts", perched on the side of a deep creek bed, yes, built up on stilts, with the entry under the flooring.. to a 15 yr old young man, sitting 8th row dead center watching the most epic of concerts.. The good ole days..!!
They were weren't they?❤
I must have been one of the few to buy that album and loved it and played it till it wore out. I do wish Paul would do some of it on tour.
Wild Life is SOLID! My Favorite Wings album ever!
Love how Paul sings 'Aminals' on Wildlife!
David Fricke did a great job on the first Wings album box set. I like the album more now thanks to this box. Great book and bonus tracks.
I usually dismiss critics because they are nothing but leeches on the Entertainment Industry.
However, this guys seems genuinely sincere and honest. I wouldn't automatically dismiss his commentary.
He seems like a decent person.
David is great and his love for the album shows. Love the new Wild Life box set. Physical media is still the best. Can’t put a stream or download under the Christmas Tree!
Se nota a la primera El que sabe sabe
Very underrated. Mumbo, Some People Never Know, I Am Your Singer, Tomorrow, Dear Friend! All great songs. Even Mumbo Link is a good little rocker.
Dear Friend and Tomorrow are the standout tracks on this album for me, with Tomorrow being one of my favourite McCartney tracks full stop. Seeing Paul at the 02 tomorrow, can't wait!! :-) :-)
James Byers for me tomorrow is the best McCartney song post Beatles
Some people never know is also dear to my heart
Me encantaría tener ese material realizado de manera muy destacada pero no tengo el recurso. Sin embargo poseo el LP lanzado en la. Época lo he escuchado n veces y lo seguiré haciendo. Si señor así lo seguiré haciendo.
Hey Paul...I received my 1971-1973 boxset and it's AWESOME!!! You and your team did a FANTASTIC job on this and I'm sooo happy I ordered one!!! All of the details and memorabilia are great and I love having them! Importantly...the audio sounds SWEET!!! I'm really enjoying it!! So I just wanted to say THANK YOU and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep the archive going :)
I loved this video. Everything Paul McCartney touches turns to gold. That makes him a spectacular talent. One that can never be duplicated.
The most underrated album ever made. I love it!
R.I.P Linda the heart of wings
I loved that album.
Wild Life has really grown on me over the years. Would love this box set but can't afford it... but someday I'll get it (*crosses fingers*)
He has that classic Wings fan club president hairstyle. Such a passionate and highly respectable presentation. Sincere thanks for this.
Beautiful review of a great album!
The wings is a very good band!
Actually it's simply called "Wings" instead of "The wings"
Very interesting. I love this álbum since I was so young many years from now . It is pure Paul & Wings. This edition of luxe is great.
It's a great album!
Larry Graves!!! Hope it's not too cold in Lenton!
I do.
Canadian Studmuffin I always liked it.Got it for Xmas 1971
agreed just got RRS box set and it rocks about to get Wild Life Box Set next
Ram is awesome
Wildlife is in my top3 of all artists, all time, all genres.
Fantastic review by David Fricke. Great voice, easy to listen to. Thank you so much for this.
the best mccarney unboxing you will ever get amazing David Fricke
Total agreement with David on this, Wild Life was where Paul was at the time and is no less in merit with his other works for that reason.
A time in American history when the trend among the young (not just the hippies) was to return to the land, to nature, and to raw and unedited music, as well. John and George were doing the same with albums like "All Things Must Pass" and John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band.
Paul was in fact, living it on a farm in Scotland with sheep, dogs, horses and yes, the occasional rat in the stall! Neil Young and Paul actually lived the life their music was portraying which was, in reality, a rarity!
I feel that this is by far, one of Paul's best albums! It is his response to John's primal scream, to George's moving on and to Ringo's keeping time with the four of them. This is, in fact, The Beatles post Beatles, a White Album period of sorts with all four still playing off each other through similar sounds and themes. Paul is every bit as strong with this album as he was with that White Album!
I love it, Paul at his best, just being Paul!
I remember playing Mumbo from Wildlife as a DJ at Quinnipiac College radio station WQSV when the album came out in '71. Loved it because he just mumbled the words!
Grande Paul...sempre se reinventando....álbum maravilhoso.
Lovely presentation, David. Thank you!
A good watch, this chap seems an authentic and informed voice. The album itself is very misunderstood and as a result, underrated.
Thanks to the Wings! :-)
Thank you for the deep dive into "Wildlife" the album. This is truly, my all time favorite Wings/ Paul McCartney album. Misunderstood, maybe. I think unexpected is more approptiate. However, I would say, I personally understand/ comprehend/ love this album more & more into infinity, especially since the very cool live versions have been remixed for all to enjoy on youtube. Wow. I can hear Paul saying it: never the same version twice. ☺️😇🥲😋🤩🥸🤓😗😘🥰
Paul mccartney still is the best the greatest.always will be.
Cool! I recently got this vinyl in mint condition, 1971 print.
David should have his own TH-cam channel
The reissue box is loaded with information and treats.
The Best unboxing of the the package -highly enjoyable-thanks
Band on The Run.......oh ya.....love it.
Brilliant album
Wild Life often overlooked.
Some Gems.
Some People Never Know.
Maybe Tomorrow.
Dear Friend.
Wild Life.
Not his best but there are some moments.
Like RED Rose Speedway.
Box set looks pretty cool.
Early McCartney after Beatles
There was a buildup to Band on the RUN.
RAM is my Favorite.
McCartney is up there as well.
Paul's Scotland period to regroup
And Ground himself.
Love that whole period.
David Fricke is cool. He speaks to you with respect for your intellect as he disects different artists and their works. I'd love to have him walk me through his album collection (vinyl 33's!)
In 1971 I was five years old and got a record player for my birthday. I didn’t want any of the “baby records” I wanted a REAL record. My dad gave me Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Band. 😁♥️
48yrs later, Not only The Beatles but each individual, John, Paul, George & Ringo became my all time favorite musicians.
This looks so cool!!!!
Some right vocals and guitar on the title track, love the lyrics and how the song builds up. I only heard it a couple of years ago, the song or album were never mentioned or out there with the well known songs
Mr.Fricke's hands are shaking.Hope he's ok :(
I still have original LP in my mix of albums that I play
Like this album
Wonderful!
I have this record its my favorite one💕
a super album !
Great unboxing
The title track, tomorrow and dear friend.....fantastic songs. I am your singer and some people never know are nice enough but its a slight album on the whole.
Loved this video! - :)
David Fricke is the new Clint Harrigan ;-) Very direct and raw, just a band playing. In a way, it's the "Get back" album that the Beatles intended and never released. It's a cool record.
There's no bad Wings album. Period.
I wish I could get hold of 'Wings over europe'.....anyone help?
same here
Excellent !!
This is my top 5 album
hes right i never heard it its got alot of extra stuff ......nice
Oh i think that David it's so cute!!! :3
The best Paul
people are insane. this album is magnificent.
😱😍😍😍❣️Paul, Paul,Paul!!
Paul's wife took fantastic pictures and I think a lot of the pictures he used are hers in this.
DENNY LAINE HIGHLY UNDERATED OVERLOOKED WHATEVER HE PLAYS ROCK SOLID RYTHYM AND COULD HARMONIZE WITH THE BEST OH WAIT HE DID SORRY BOUT THE CAPS I AINT RETYPING IT THO LOL PEACE N LOVE HAPPY XMAS
Greeting from the Canary Islands 😊😍😅
Hi. About making this video: do you prefer to leave boom mic on R and lapel on L? For me it's strange..
official unboxing
Este no es el Cordura Artificial?
Gotta admit, I know nothing about this album. I remember seeing it as I leafed through LP stacks. But I do have original pressings of the 45 of "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" with the picture sleeves.
Surprising lack of Wild Life songs played during this video. Do you get the feeling they want us to buy it for the goodies?
best post beatles album....with harrison's Dark Horse...
Wild life es un buen álbum yo sé porque lo digo me pueden preguntar
A juventude de hoje nunca saberá de verdade o que foram the beatles....
Can I borrow it bud ?
I kinda wonder if David misspoke when he said that " there are lyrics to Bip Bop"? Because the song without any intelligible lyrics is Mumbo.
Anyway, I still have the original album from that era and it is a fave of mine. Critics back then were always badmouthing Paul and I always hated them for it because I grew up on Paul's music and loved him. And he was a fantastic role model for a young boy.
📭📬📪 Só Jesus Cristo salva!!!
I am a huge Beatles fan. McCartney is my favorite Beatle. Wings did some great stuff. But, a Boxed Set of "Wild Life"!? I could never have imagined such a thing. Is this a joke? "The most important re-issue of 'this album' you may ever see!"? Yes, I must agree. It's incredible that there has been any re-issue. It speaks to the incredible quality of the Beatles / McCartney catalogues that such a re-issue could even happen.
I bought this album the day it arrived in the record stores, without having heard a single song, hoping for another 'RAM'. or 'McCartney'. . I listened to it once. It was the worst album I had ever purchased. I may have managed to listen to it a second or maybe a third time, hoping I had missed something. I had not. Trying to listen to it was a painful experience each and every time.
In later years, I've taken out the LP periodically, thinking - it can not be as awful as I remember. Wrong! Maybe it is worse. I've never managed a complete re-listening. I picked up the needle part way through each song and moved on to the next. The album is so bad, it's almost a novelty. But it does not even become listenable on that level. Recorded in three days? Yea, it sounds like it.
I'm holding my original vinyl copy now. "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" is not on it. I do like that song. The fact that it's apparently been added to re-issues speaks volumes about the sad quality of the material on the album, as released.
I was so put off by Wildlife that I was about done with McCartney after that. Fortunately, he quickly redeemed himself with Red Rose Speedway, a very listenable album. And of course, Band on the Run followed, validating Wings as a worthy project.
This poor guy "Fricke", struggles mightily to make up some interesting context to put this collection of bad songs into in order to generate some interest. It's embarrassing, but I assume he was paid well.
Well, it's interesting to hear your opinion -- although I feel entirely different. Is it purely the songs themselves that you dislike or do you not care for the raw production, either? The _McCartney_ album, though undeniably charming, is rawer still, both compositionally and in terms of production. Since you say that Paul is your favorite Beatle, it surprises me that you don't find merit in "Some People Never Know" (my favorite track), "I Am Your Singer" or "Tomorrow." I think all three provide excellent examples of Paul's trademark melodic and harmonic brilliance. Both "Wild Life" and "Dear Friend," though somber, are searingly powerful; "Bip Bop" grooves and even the brief "Bip Bip Link" acoustic piece is an atmospheric addition. "Mumbo" may not be among the most stunning opening tracks of all time, but I like it for its "birth of a band" quality. It seems to me that _Ram_ , which I'll admit is my favorite solo McCartney album, has a similar grittiness here and there, even given the presence, in spots, of an orchestra and studio guitarists Hugh McCracken and David Spinozza. ... It does not seem at all to me that David Fricke is having difficulty in identifying the strengths in and unique charm of _Wild Life_ ; I have the impression, rather, that he appreciates the album on its own terms. I wish you could learn to love it, but it doesn't appear that there's much chance of that. Each person has his/her own tastes.
Trombonology Erstwhile For me, it‘s purely the songs. Nothing connected for me. That‘s just personal taste of course. „Raw“ production is fine for me. I‘m more often put off by over-production. Oh Woman, Oh Why, is a song I like much better than anything on Wild Life, for example.
I‘m happy for anyone who enjoyed Wild Life. It was just a flop for me, and many other McCartney fans at the time. But again, that’s just personal taste. If the LP clicked for you, obviously, there’s something there that I don’t see. And I guess we agree that the body of McCartney’s work is outstanding, whatever favorites one person or another might have ...
@@gordonshumway7239 I appreciate your response. What a boring world it would be if we all had the same likes and dislikes. ... We do agree on "Oh Woman, Oh Why" -- great track -- and the overall quality of Paul's work.
Trombonology Erstwhile Agree!
I have to agree with you for the most part. The only songs I like are Wild Life and Dear Friend. However, I prefer the live version of Wild Life which is not on the album. I would not waste my money on the original album never mind this deluxe version. RAM and Band on the Run are light years better.
Good album, but not his best. I think Paul wanted to record the album without spending too much time in the studio (as Bob Dylan), and he didn't write as a Beatle so i think it was a challenge for Paul, writing, production, etc. This deluxe edition is amazing, and i hope London town and back to the eg in 2019.
what?
You're right, love " London Town" . Didn't like it when it first came out but later, loved it!
Miss Denny Laine!
"The actual facsimile" says it all.
Some people never know (good)
Wild Life (good)
Dear friend (kinda boring but great voice)
Tomorrow (Nice song until 2:23)
Please.....spanish too
Great record. I think the real Paul McCartney would be very proud.
2 (two)
Why would you need demos of demos? This is on Amazon Prime streaming -- save your money -- Wild Life was a slap job.
sad but true xd
Well, I get Fricke's excitement since he wrote the essay, but the album is not good. Get Red Rose Speedway if you have to decide between these current reissues.
I’m surprised people still buy cds in 2018
What if the internet goes out? XD
Are you? i still buy cds! its really nice to flick through a physical collection of music.
You are kidding right? Physical media forever!
The sound quality is so much better on CD. DVD. Blu-ray.
James Hall -you are kidding right?
I wounded y his hands shake

Tell the truth, why do you think he was by himself? Rip
Wrong 4 bands
Míralo a Spinetta hablando ahí y acá en Argentina se piensa que estaba muerto
I remember getting this album and being deeply disappointed in "Wings Wildlife", I loved the wonderful home-spun "McCartney" album and the creative and inventive joy of "Ram", and couldn't wait for this one. But "Wildlife" was a major drop-off for me. I never made a distinction between Paul-solo or Paul-Wings. It was always really Paul either way for the most part and this first band attempt fell short. Even the packaging seemed cheap and slapped together without much care. It's on the bottom of my list of McCartney albums and re=packaging it doesn't change what's between the grooves
I preferred the original Paul...😥
Is that a wig? What a freaky looking guy.
Father Damien Karras. Hippies don't grow up, they just grow old.
Looks ok to me…get a life
I guess the Plastic Ono Band doesn’t count as a brand new band. Okay.
Many Paul fans including myself are disappointed with the audio content in this set, as the original album itself is terrible and the supplementary material is lackluster. Sure the box is handsome, but if the music isn’t worthy of deluxe treatment, the effort is a failure in my opinion. Fricke is wonderful, and I’d love to read the book here.
Mark Iskowitz Most people who wrote this off listened to it twice, max. Have you actually spent time with it? It’s a runaway success, no failure whatsoever. It’s intent was to be what Get Back originally was intended to be: a raw, spontaneous, casual, quickly recorded album. It’s one of his top ten or even five post-Beatles albums, to me! I highly recommend revisiting it, and agree with Fricke that it’s easily the most misunderstood album in his canon. Have a great day!
+Jim McCracken Surprisingly, mainly for the over-all superb packaging and extras. The actual album is still the same, though- it's just o.k.
Pauls weakest album with a few good songs ..London Town amd a few other albums even later in life not so great...Ram and Mcartney great..as where in general most Mcartney albums...Wild life as an album just doesnt cut it apart from tnis fact it has a few good tracks
whatever the album is - this film here is a commercial pretending to be a review, of course we need a facsimile and more rubbish in carton boxes to make the planet 'clean', is this what a vegetarian should do ?
