Man, this should have been on "London Town". Paul could have ditched "Famous Groupies", "Girlfriend" or "I've Had Enough" and replaced one of them with this. Would have certainly helped the album rock a little harder. Also another reminder of the guitar prowess of Jimmy. R.I.P.
I've had Enough is a great rocker. It didn't get radio airplay because it wasn't a disco song. The radio of the disco era sucked because they refused to play rock. It was disco or a ballad. Look at Kiss...biggest hit, Beth...a ballad. Alice Cooper...You and Me....ballad. By '78, even ballads weren't getting played, why Mull of Kintyre got zilch while the rest of the free world loved the song.
BlueEyes, your 100% correct. I do see why "Mull of Kintyre" didn't get airplay here in the states. People wanted rock and McCartney comes out with this dribble. The radio stations had to flip it over and play "Girls School". Much better.
Good song, surprising Denny would revisit this with Wings, but maybe he felt that the solo version got overlooked (it did) and that Wings could do a good job on it (they did).
This song should be on Wings Over America Album🎸
Swee-e-e-t. Listen to Jimmy.

Totally agree.... Great song.... And a sublime version by Wings....
Better than the original ‘Ahh... Laine’ version by _far._
