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.

This is my second post about a Yoko Ono album. Her last album Fly and this one were released as double albums but this one was her first foray into rock music. The music on the album is better as a result but it also means that I have a lot more material to go through. Admittedly my first draft cut out a lot of the songs but I had to cut out at least 2 more to keep both sides equal.
