Kevin Stovell's Album Reviews
This is the sound of Paul and Linda and their new band letting their hair down and enjoying themselves and why not! At the time, being only about 11 years old, all I heard was C Moon/Hi Hi Hi which my brother and I played to death. The album is an extension of that casual vibe. London Town is more polished but similar in that way and another favourite. Not that it doesn’t take effort to sound this relaxed! Dear Friend is more developed but meanders along in a similar style. Altogether an amazing surprise, I was expecting this to be substandard but sometimes Macca is misunderstood and underappreciated. Linda is also an important factor in the warm sound of this album. Inner sleeve of the vinyl even has the same yellow cover as C Moon. Definitely one of my favourite McCartney albums not because it’s a classic but just because it’s so enjoyable.
