You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Back to the Egg is the 7th and final studio album by the British–American rock band Wings, released in June 1979. Co-produced by Chris Thomas, the album reflects band leader Paul McCartney's embracing of contemporary musical trends such as new wave and punk, and marked the arrival of new Wings members Laurence Juber and Steve Holley.
The recording sessions took place at Spirit of Ranachan Studios in Campbeltown, Scotland; Lympne Castle in Kent, London's Abbey Road Studios, and Replica Studio – the last of which McCartney built as an exact replica of Abbey Road's Studio Two when the latter became unavailable. Wings returned to Abbey Road in March 1979 to complete the album, before filming a series of promotional videos in Lympne and elsewhere, for what became the Back to the Egg TV special.
Although the album charted in the top 10 around the world and was certified platinum in the United States, it was viewed as a commercial failure relative to previous Wings releases.
The group disbanded early the following year after the departure of Laine.
