About the Album

By 1979, the musical landscape was shifting. The "Old Guard" was being challenged by the raw energy of the Sex Pistols and The Clash. Rather than retreating into adult contemporary safety, McCartney leaned into the chaos.

Released in June 1979, Back to the Egg was McCartney's second solo album to feature his then-current band, Wings. Recorded at Spirit of Ecstasy Ranch in Los Angeles, the album brought together a diverse range of styles, from rock and pop to jazz, funk, and even classical influences. Featuring 13 tracks, including the Grammy-nominated single "Old Marley," Back to the Egg earned McCartney a renewed artistic and commercial momentum.

"Daytime Nighttime Suffering": The beloved B-side to "Goodnight Tonight." "Waterspout": A fan-favorite unreleased track from the era.
