McCartney used 16 track tape machines, in late August he recorded about 20 songs. He used more synthesisers and he experimented with acoustic sound. He later toured with Wings in December 1979. The album was then released in May 1980 with mixed reviews, but it was the top album in England and number three in the United States.
