The last week Wings recorded.

Paul tells what the Dentist did to him

Another meeting of Paul found in the "Write Thing" in the April/May1979 issue. Another one written by the lucky and talent George Tebbins.

It seems when Paul records in London there are two things you can count on: that damn silver rain and a group of ten or so loyal Macca fans. this March was no exception. Wings have no finished their new LP. During the making of this album a few surprises came about, one was the super session with Pete Townsend, a couple Zeppelins and a dozen more veterans assembled to rehearse and record a couple of Paul's new tunes, one called "Rockestra Theme"; and then George Harrison showing up at the studio a couple of times, for what we'll have to wait and see. Not lucky enough to be there a those times, I did get to see Wings during one of the last weeks of recording.

It was the last week of March and we would go to the studio about noon each day expecting an hour and 1/2 wait (get there early just in case) and during that 90 minutes the queue begins to grow as the local fans start to arrive, only to spend their lunch hour waiting for Paul or a favorite Wing.

When Paul finally arrived everyone lined up for the daily greeting committee. As he steps out of the Rolls, the cameras start clicking, autographs are given, conversations that are always incomplete are attempted, and then he's gone.

During the few minutes you try and find out as much as you can, which is usually very little. All Paul said was he had one more week of recording (ending 1st week of April) and they would start touring soon. Lawrence was more friendly, he'd stop for photos and autographs and be more helpful on inquiries. He said the single probably won't be on the LP and new illustrated cover will be available with the 12" single. Denny and Steve were obliging as well. More photos, autographs and more information. They tell us the albums will be out in May followed by a British tour of small and large halls.

Then there is Linda who seems to be above it all. Believe me I've really tried to like her, but after she came out alone one night and spoke to two of the fans for ten minutes being sweet as can be, then went back inside and spoke to the guards in the office, demanding all the fans be tossed out of the parking lot, puts a strain on any admiration one can have for her.

All in all, I'm pleased Paul was great and the group was friendly and I got a few things autographed and took some nice photos. You can't ask for more than that. It would be worth it to just seem them and say hello.
