I wish I owned more of Paul's albums but I don't. With so many of his CDs out of print its hard to get a hold of one.
Pauls stuff isnt really hard to get. Ebay does wonders. All of his stuff is usually there.
'Venus And Mars' is a good album, but I never considered it one of my favorites. 'Love In Song', 'Treat Her Gently', and 'Spirits Of Ancient Egypt' are probably my 3 favorites on the album.
This is such a great album........every track knocks me out. I think those of you that haven't heard it should give it a listen.......and andyec, give it another shot.
"Only people know just how to talk to people. Only people know just how to change the world."
i know but you need to be more subtle...i know you can be. i love reading your decent posts.quit with the negative stuff.you are perhaps one of the more knowledgable posters here,but when you insult others i tend to not read more. your topics are mostly great but then you get angry and lose it...try to be more understanding. i am over being mean to you so feed my trivia wants..
dirk,you attacking again????if you read tks reply he said pauls are easy to get.....
Oh, dont worry and dont be too harsh PC. Its obvious the Di cks turrets syndrome is getting the better of him. I mentioned just one place to get them and the f** is all over me. Oh well.
My favorite Wings album, full of rockers and such. It's also choc full of potential Wings singles. I listen to Venus and Mars more than Band on the Run, I think its better for the inclusion of "Listen To What The Man Said." The segue between the said song into the final track "Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People" is my favorite moment.

I think the first three songs are classics and LWTMS too. I'm not wild about "You Gave Me the Answer" and "Magneto"--the former is too much in the "Your Mother Should Know" vein I never really liked; "Magneto" is weird, almost T-Rex lyric glam rock that seems like it should lead somewhere but doesn't (interesting idea, though). "Medicine Jar" is pretty strong--an anti-drug written and sung by the guitarist Jimmy McCulloch (who died young, of something like a heart attack). It shows that Paul was capable of generosity when his backup guys brought something to the table. I like the layered guitar sounds on the album (VAM, particularly)--Denny and Jimmy were a good guitar combo.

"Magneto..." was about his love for comic books. "Medicine Jar" is sad irony at its finest because its about the perils of drugs and Jimmy died of an overdose, not a heart attack.
