As I have mentioned before I was an avid McCartney fan during and after the Beatles and bought pretty much everything, especially around the 70's and left following him around the time of  
Wings' demise, though I still have the greatest admiration for him and have probably about everything recorded now (over 45 albums! count 'em!). But this album meant a great deal to me and my wife and we were still members of the Fan Club at this point and we absolutely loved this album
esp. 'Bip Bop' and 'Wild Life' itself
Silly love songs? yessiree Bob! 
You had to be there . . . . . and in similar state of mind

On this day in music history: December 7, 1971 - “Wild Life”, the debut album by Wings is released. Produced by Paul McCartney, it is recorded at Rude Studio at High Park in Campbeltown, Kintyre, Scotland and Abbey Road Studios in London in August 1971. Coming very closely on the heels of “Ram”, released barely seven months before, Paul McCartney is joined by wife Linda and band members Denny Laine and Denny Seiwell, making up the first line up of the band Wings. Their first album is completed in under a weeks’ worth of studio time. McCartney records it wanting it to sound spontaneous like a live recording. Five of the albums eight songs are recorded in a single take. On the albums’ release day, it is launched with a party in London to both herald the new release and introduce the band. It takes a verbal pounding from critics upon its release, but still performs decently on the charts. The album is reissued on CD in 1993 with four additional bonus tracks, including the previously released stand alone singles “Give Ireland Back To The Irish” “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and “Little Woman Love”. “Wild Life” peaks at number eleven on the UK album chart, number ten on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.
