With a fresh set of McCartney/McCartney tunes, the newly formed Wings quickly recorded their debut that August with the mindset that it had to be instant and raw in order to capture the freshness and vitality of a live studio recording. Most of the songs were recorded in one take. Paul would later cite the quick recording schedule of Bob Dylan as an inspiration for this. Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman, May 24 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American singer-songwriter author poet and painter who has been a major Paul handled all lead vocals, sharing those duties with Linda on "I Am Your Singer".

After a party announcing the band's formation that November, Wild Life appeared the following month to lukewarm commercial and critical reaction. The album reached #11 in the UK and #10 in the US, where it went gold.

One notable song, "Dear Friend", apparently an attempt at reconciliation with John Lennon, was recorded during the Ram sessions. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born Ram is Paul McCartney 's second solo album officially credited to Paul and Linda McCartney, and was released in 1971

The liner notes for Wild Life (and on the Thrillington album) were credited to Clint Harrigan, but McCartney in 1990 admitted to journalist Peter Palmiere via an autograph request that he was Harrigan. Thrillington is a 1977 album by Paul McCartney, under the pseudonym of Percy "Thrills" Thrillington Interesting enough, the first person who ever knew the identity of Harrigan was John Lennon who admitted as much during their Melody Maker feud in 1972.

In addition to naming the previously hidden tracks, the original CD version added "Oh Woman, Oh Why" (the B-side of "Another Day"), "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and "Little Woman Love". " Another Day " is a song recorded by Paul McCartney in New York in 1970, during the sessions for his album Ram.

In 1993, Wild Life was remastered and reissued on CD as part of "The Paul McCartney Collection" series with singles "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as well as B-sides "Little Woman Love" and "Mama's Little Girl"—all recorded in 1972—as bonus tracks, and also two hidden tracks: "Bip Bop Link" (a Denny Laine acoustic guitar solo) between "I Am Your Singer" and "Tomorrow"; and "Mumbo Link" (an instrumental jam) after "Dear Friend".
