Wings - Paul McCartney & Wings
Late in 1971, drummer Denny Seiwell, and ex-Moody Blues guitarist and singer Denny Laine, joined McCartney and wife Linda McCartney to record Paul’s third post-Beatles project. The result was Wild Life, the first project to credit Wings.
In 1972, McCartney returned to touring, mounting an impromptu tour of UK universities and later a tour of small European venues (with the group driving around in a van), playing no Beatles numbers. He scored hits with the relatively light singles “Give Ireland Back to the Irish” (banned by the BBC for its political stance, and only mentioned in chart rundowns on Radio 1 as ‘a record by Wings’), “Mary Had A Little Lamb”, and “Hi Hi Hi” (again, banned by the BBC for alleged drug and sexual references).
In early 1973, McCartney repeated this pattern, adding ex-Spooky Tooth guitarist Henry McCullough, and re-christening the band Paul McCartney and Wings for the album Red Rose Speedway.
Following the release of Speedway, Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough left the band, leaving the McCartneys and Denny Laine to cut their next album at EMI’s recording studio in Lagos, Nigeria, recording what turned out to be their breakthrough album, Band on the Run.
After this, Jimmy McCulloch and Geoff Britton, lead guitar and drums respectively, joined the band, now rechristened Wings again.

These songs are actually officially credited to either "Paul McCartney & Wings" or "Wings". That's just silly

gonna tag Paul McCartney's wings as Paul McCartney & Wings as to simplify charts and avoid confusion. Would be better if last.fm could take Paul's wings' tracks and put them under the same artist label.
