Released in 1971, like many debut albums, Wings' Wild Life wasn't a real reflection of what was to come, its guiding ethos being Paul's intention to record the entire piece quickly. Taking just two weeks, Wild Life was about spontaneity: the opening track 'Mumbo' was recorded in one take. Featuring the yearning and politically charged title track, the funky 'Love Is Strange' and the gentle acoustic ballad 'Dear Friend', Wild Life is a must-have title for the Wings collector.
