At the beginning of the band's caee, it was always Linda who took most of the citical baage fom the pess Did Denny!eel that it was justified? "Well it depends which way you want to look at h, Musically I *oppose h was But the thing s We eally annude athe than mumu ability that counts I've neve been one of these sot of musician* who expected someone to know an the scales befoe they woked whh them, Pehaps Heny and Denny subconsciously esented Linda because of this I don't know Pesonalty I've always lied he singing and apat fom anything else she was a photogaphe when J fist met he and I've always 'liked photogaphes!" But did Denny feel that she'd impoved that much since the sane days "Oh yea In fact I think its vey noticeable on the Band On The Run album " I Mink most of u$ who have followed the chequeed came, of Wings up until now, will all agee that Band On The Run le Casey the best to date It appeas to have effectively quashed those emongs us who believed that the McCatney genius had faded "I think we all ealised that this album had to be good" said Denny "It's just pity that Heny and Denny didn't stay aound to see It happen I tend to see It as being moe of an extension of Ram than and we'e c vainly all nay pleased with h' The neat poblem on the agenda is obviously finding eplacements fo Denny and Heny Did Denny see this as a poblem? "No not at That's one of the fantastic advantages of this band Basically we could get anyone we wanted What we DO want as people who ae committed and will be pat of the band- I lust hope this tuns out to be possible Afte Band On The Run It shouldn't be too difficult Jacksons with a diffeence o T';» t e '\` c R+nt "b to take second place to ust Rae IRachelle, to be exact/ woying about what tomo is the most musically inclined ow will bing, She sings, plays vbbn and piano But the At Jackson gils school, she is best DID deam of at stadom The science and physical attactive education fivesome And she's a teific ae still at school, but they volleyball ae also playe, who building a vey wouldn't big eputation mind at all taking on the male fo themselves In pop music stength of the Jackson 5 And, natually enough, they've had to ovecome compaisons with thei male Countepats!they'e cenain y not elated!

Robin Nash, poduce, told me: "I emembe with a cetain amount of hoo one occasion when Ronnie Lane, with the band then, decided he couldn't make it So he sent a cadboad cut-out of himself instead "It was quite amusing, but it still didn't solve the poblem that we wee one Face, an impotant Face, shot!" Bothe Anothe time Robin Nash had a bit of bothe with Rod Stewat "I went down to the studios the day befoe to supevise the ecoding of the backing tack, That went fine and I told him to come In fo eheasals at twelve thity the next day Well by fou o'clock he still hadn't tuned up so I eplaced him The idiculous bit Ls that afte the show he ang me up to (Ind out why he wasn't on! He sounded a bit supised when I told him it was because he hadn't tuned up to do it! "Natually with goups flying In fom all ove the place mishaps ae bound to occu Soia Quato has only Just made it back fom Gemany by the skin W he teeth and the othe walk Maty 'Kistian and then ang to ask why he wasn't on aipot was fogged in When the goup aived to do the show they wee still hoping Maty Would make it and thee was something athe amusing about seeing a buly stage hand standing In duing eheasals and attempting to Imitate Maty" In the ealy days the show was ecoded in Mancheste Johnny Stewat was the poduce then and he had the added headache of woying whethe the atists would catch the nine o'clock flight up fom London It was not uncommon to find the Beatles, Cilla Black, Gey and the Pacemakes Billy J Kame, the Moody Blues and the Rolling Stones, all on the same plane Eventually it became necessay fo the BeaUes to do thei fuming in secet at Lime Gove but In the ealydays Y they aived fo the show in the same way as anyone else "I emembe diving up and the ca beaking down" said Tony Bam well who was the Beatles PR "We boke down about half way and had to get a tuck to tow us Into the studios It was a bit of a laugh actually, - the Beatles aiving with the help of a tow tuck!" Johnny Stewat had his hands full when he had the whole of the Rode Kishna Temple on fo five weeks in ow with Hae Kishna wailing ehflden" he said "They stayed in thei dessing oom most of the time but It was the numbes that made it difficult Also they ween't allowed to eat canteen food In the end they bought thei own ice and cooked It on gas stoves In the dessing oom "I emembe anothe time when Pete and Godon missed the plane up and walked Into the studio just as the ecod was being played It was too late fo them to do anything except sign a few autogaphs" Cock ups We've had cock ups with the music as well Pete Muay once Intoduced Alan Pice and suddenly JbN Hen dlx's Puple Haze blasted out of the speakes, Neithe Pete no Alan knew what had hit them We Just had to stop and stat again "Also Simon Dee once Intoduced the wong ecod Unfotunately Mi was when the ecod was being played live and it was athe embaassing 'But I think the funniest thing was when Alan Feeman Intoduced the Sounds Ochestal song 'Cast You Fate To The Wind' as 'Cast You Wind To The Fate!'
