This digitally remastered U.K. edition includes two bonus tracks.
By 1978, Wings had just about reached the end of their tether, and that year's BACK TO THE EGG would be their swan song. McCartney and company's penultimate recording, LONDON TOWN, proved that there was still some life left in the band. The title track is the album's most Beatlesque (and hence one of its best) cuts, slightly reminiscent of "Penny Lane" in both arrangement and subject matter. LONDON TOWN's biggest hit, "With A Little Luck" is typically optimistic and catchy as the devil. Denny Laine takes a vocal turn on the light, somewhat Donovanish "Children Children." The real gem of this album, though, is the obscure "I'm Carrying," a gentle, acoustic-based love ballad that is McCartney at his most poignant, and easily ranks among his finest post-Beatles compositions.
Digitally remastered reissue of their hit 1978 album, whichstayed at #2 for six weeks in a row! Features the #1 smash'With A Little Luck', plus the title hit & the top 30 'I'veHad Enough', along with two bonus tracks: 'Mull Of Kintyre'& 'Girls' School'. 16 tracks total. 1993 EMI release. Theoriginal was released on EMI/ Parlophone.

 Another step for the hit-making machine of Wings, but more..
"London Town" was an artistic triumph of pop rock for Paul McCartney and the group Wings. With several really strong songs and great studio craft, these guys showed us just what they could do when you gave them time. Sure, there were some faulty spots (think "Famous Groupies" and "Backwards Traveler"), but they are overshadowed by the greater moments, like "Cafe On The Left Bank", the wonderful "I'm Carrying", written during Paul's wife Linda's pregnancy, and the shimmering "Children Children", not forgetting the flat-out rock of "I've Had Enough" that spits grit and sand where the rest of these songs blow kisses and sugar plums. A great contrast, and a great album period. Definitely for the average McCartney fan who wants more than just the hits.

WHAT CAN I SAY
The bonus track, Mull of Kintyre which was released in 1977, is the biggest selling single in British history.The whole album is just feel- good and the melodies are brilliant as usual. Wings went over the edge here creating London Town and it is one of the best albums ive ever heard.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Rock with Great original music!
Mccartney always gives the most beautiful melodies of any rock musician.
"I'm Carrying", is an example of his moving lyrics and melody. You've got to own this one!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No In some ways reminds me of "McCartney."
Those 2 bonus songs push this one over the edge for the 5 stars. This is a charming disk made at the height of Paul's popularity.

On the south side of Chicago, MC’s are not born; they are forged-forged in a fire of back alleys, house parties, and street violence. This is not a playground for the weak or the timid. If you want to make a name you’ve got to earn it with passion, sincerity and balls. These are the hallmarks of Avenue Entertainment recording artist Kuz aka Lost Kin Folk. The son of a Chicago O.G., Kuz describes himself as an “everyday son of poverty.” Raised single handedly by his mother, Kuz saw first hand that where there is a will, there is a way. She installed firmly in his mind that he was destined to be a leader, not a follower. A natural performer, he always strived to be the center of attention. Whether it was rapping, beat boxing or break dancing, the love of entertaining was always a part of him. Inspired by great such as N.W.A., Rakim, 2-Pac, Biggy, and Jay-Z, Kuz dreamed of making a name for himself in the rap game. But as it often does, life had other plans. Independent by the age ...
