Thank you for helping us reach 250 episodes! To celebrate, we're finally diving into one of our most requested albums: Back to the Egg by Paul McCartney and Wings, released in 1979. Long overlooked and still awaiting a super deluxe reissue—alongside London Town—this record has become a fan favorite in recent years.

Check out Chris's recent interview appearance with Thomas Gouker and Brooke Halpin!
