Red Rose Speedway was originally supposed to be a double album, but the label didn't think the material was sufficient enough to warrant a double album given the lack of sales of Wings' first album Wild Life. However this would also be the first album to credit the band as Paul McCartney and Wings instead of just Wings to help increase the sales. One commenter I saw thought it was funny that around this time Yoko was allowed to release a rock double album and Paul wasn't, and honestly I think Yoko's album was better, but I cut it down to a single album. A double album version of it exists but includes a couple live tracks, so I just made the original version the first two sides and made the outtakes the next two sides.
