Macca's most commercially successful album... and one of the very best released by a former Beatle. Most of the backing tracks were recorded in Lagos, Nigeria, under trying circumstances. Catchy, uplifting, and bearing repeated listening exceptionnally well.

If I had to pick one in his classic series of albums he made in the 1970s, it would have to be this masterpiece.

"Discovered" by Kevin Ayers, funded by Richard Branson's brand new label (Virgin),multi-instrumentalist Odlfield released his iconic debut just in time for his twentieth birthday. His next two albums are equally beguiling.

Overrated for sure. Maybe not even Pink Floyd's best, let alone the "second best album of all time" BUT a masterpiece of an album nonetheless, that no loger needs any introduction. Just to be listened to.

The grandeur of the piece comes from the songs themselves, and their interpretation. Not a violin in sight!

From "Kodachrome" to "Loves me like a rock" via "American Tune", it's all very, very good songwriting.
