Wings - Venus And Mars (1975).
Band On The Run was a tough act to follow, but I think this made the grade.

For me Side 1, yes, but side 2 isn’t that good. (Paul lets the others have a go at singing!).

So, Floydians will know the story. In July 1978, Roger Waters presented Gilmour, Mason and Wright with two sets of demos, telling them one would be the group’s next album, the other would be a Waters solo project. The group chose what was then known as “Bricks In The Wall”, while RW shelved “The Pros & Cons Of Hitch-Hiking”, later developing it as a solo album, complete with stellar musicians including Clapton, David Sanborn, Michael Kamen, Ray Cooper, Katie Kissoon, Andy Bown, Andy Newmark et al.
It’s not a great, or even good, record. Despite some excellent playing and a great production by Kamen and Waters, it’s lacking in tunes and Waters’ screech grates after a while.
I wonder how things would have turned out if the group had chosen this rather than the Wall stuff? (Manager Steve O’Rourke was keener on TP&COHH than he was on The Wall, but DG, NM and Rick overruled him).

It is a perfect example of what Waters is without the input of the band.

Keyboards and bass lines of this one make me smile.
