'Back to the Egg' is the seventh and final studio album by Wings, released on June 8, 1979. Co-produced by Paul McCartney and Chris Thomas, the album reflects McCartney's embrace of contemporary musical trends such as new wave and punk. It marked the arrival of new members Laurence Juber and Steve Holley. The album features the 'Rockestra Theme,' recorded with guest musicians from bands like The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1980.

Even McCartney distances himself from this album but it may be one of my top three albums from his massive catalog. Good songs, tight band, and probably the best sounding album of his 70s output.
