Mike McGear - McGear (1974)

From The Lost Record Covers Club

This is the Wings album with a guest vocalist! McGear is McCartney's brother and he and Wings wrote and played most of this.  Released in 1974 at a time when Wings were one of the top UK bands and about to break America on a massive tour which would eventually be recorded and issued as "Wings Over America".  McGear has a strong vocal and there are some good songs here including his take on Bryan Ferry's "Sea Breezes"; the single "Leave It" and the more epic "The Man Who Found God On The Moon".  This is the killer track from this album and again was picked up by Capital Radio (Everett and Scott - my favourites) and pushed - it never made a single, probably due to the G word and the length of the track. Music and Moonshots - two of my favourite subjects at that time!
