wings material continues to surface, however. In 1980, Paul's solo single
for "Coming Up" was backed by a live version with Wings and a 1975-era
"Lunch Box And Odd Sox". In 1981, CONCERTS FOR THE PEOPLE OF KAMPUCHEA
featured three live performances by Wings. In 1985, "Spies Like Us" was
backed by another 1975-era track, "My Carnival". 1990, "Put It There" was
backed by the 1972-era "Mama's Little Girl" and the suspected-to-be-1979-era
"Same Time Next Year".
Linda McCartney -- obviously -- stayed with subsequent band collections.
Denny Laine, despite responding nastily to the break up with a solo album,
actually worked with Paul right up until 1982's TUG OF WAR album. Then
there was a falling out due to financial reasons, as Denny's finances
crumbled along with his marriage -- both of which he blames Paul for.
Today they do not speak, although they may have met once on Paul's
1989-1990 tour. Denny Laine is still upset about the royalties he received
from Paul's company regarding the songs he co-wrote. According to the last
report, written in Geoff Guiliano's BLACKBIRD (a horrible biography that
bases all its information mostly on interviews from Laine) he is broke and
living in a trailer park in Rochester.
Hope this helps.

I heard that it was rumored that Yoko had tipped off Japanese
officials that led to Paul's bust for possession of pot. Anyone know if
this rumor is true?
