Tracks from disc 1 and tracks 1-5 from disc 2 are the complete performance that the final incarnation of Wings played at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on December 17, 1979. This was the last show of the Wings’ Tour in 1979. These tracks are the very tapes McCartney himself recorded for a possible live album of which only Coming Up has appeared. Tracks 6-11 from disc 2 are taken from the Concert For The People Of Kampuchea LP (December 31, 1979).

Say Say Say what!  The pundits seemed to forget that Wings undertook a nineteen date tour of the United Kingdom in the Winter of 1979.  What you have in your hands is evidence of that forgotten tour, a complete chronicle of Wings performance at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on December 17, 1979.

After the Christmas holidays, the group reconvened for a charity performance, The Concerts For The People Of Kampuchea, highlights of which round out this package.  Rehearsals for the upcoming Japanese dates followed, as plans for American and European legs were set into motion all to go up the proverbial puff of smoke.

But back to the performances at hand.  Following the immensely successful Wings Over The World Tour, Paul and Co. entered the studio, and commenced sessions for a new album.  Over a year later, and following the departure of guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Joe English, London Town hit the racks.   Replacements were found in a pair of unknown British studio musicians.
