Songs are high quality.vegavairbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018275229164166937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863719637502905418.post-20672251792729475632010-08-15T19:02:24.068+01:002010-08-15T19:02:24.068+01:00I couldn't agree more Chris,a truly underrated...I couldn't agree more Chris,a truly underrated album.If you compare it to Band On The Run it's just as memorable.If it had bigger hits it would be just as well known.I sing along to it as much as any Paul album i own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
