After recording Band on the Run as a three-piece with wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney added Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar and Geoff Britton on drums to the Wings lineup in 1974. Having written several new songs for the next album, McCartney decided upon New Orleans, Louisiana as the recording venue, and Wings headed there in January 1975.
As soon as the sessions began, the personality clash that had been evident between McCulloch and Britton during Wings' 1974 sessions in Nashville became more pronounced, and Britton — after a mere six month stay — quit Wings, having only played on three of the new songs. A replacement, American Joe English, was quickly auditioned and hired to finish the album.
The sessions themselves proved to be very productive, not only finishing the entire album, but also several additional songs including two future McCartney B-sides: "Lunch Box/Odd Sox" and "My Carnival".
McCartney also decided to link the songs together much like The Beatles had on Abbey Road to give the album a more continuous, coherent feel

LABELS: MINT
Both labels are clean, unmarked and like-new with no spindle traces or any sign of play
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but one hairline mark at the end of Side Two which is inaudible
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully at loud volume with practically nothing to fault.
No scratches, clicks or pops and exceptionally clean on the quieter moments.
An impossibly minor and barely worth a mention one-off tick noted but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins.
I prefer not to clean record unless absolutely necessary
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Very slight rub to the surface and bottom edge otherwise as crisp, clean and fresh as the day it was made
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Some light record impression but no seam splits
POSTERS: MINT
The two large posters are untouched - I don't think they had ever even been opened before my photos
STICKERS: MINT
The two stickers are both in their original unused, un-pealed state with no creasing or any signs of ever being handled
