File:Paul McCartney & Wings ~ Junior's Farm (Rehearsal - Take 16) 1974 (w-lyrics) -HQ-

This performance for JUNIOR'S FARM was filmed during the same time frame as the filming of Wings' rehearsal movie ONE HAND CLAPPING in late 1974. However, it was not included in ONE HAND CLAPPING movie, which can be found on a DVD as part of the BAND ON THE RUN Archive Collection.

JUNIOR'S FARM was engineered by Ernie Winfrey at Soundshop Studios in Nashville, Tennessee in 1974. While recording in Nashville, the members of Wings stayed at the Lebanon, Tennessee farm of Curly Putman Jr., which accounts for the song's title. Jimmy McCulloch played the guitar solo as his Wings' debut. McCartney said he based the song's lyrical theme on Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" and that "the idea was to just get a fantasy song about this person Junior." McCartney said that, in contrast to the degree of thought Dylan applied to his songwriting, "JUNIOR'S FARM has silly words and basically all it means is, 'Let's get out of the city' ... As for reading deep meanings into the words, people shouldn't bother, there aren't any." The song was originally issued as a non-album single in 1974. It was later released on WINGS GREATEST (1978), the US version of ALL THE BEST! (1987), the VENUS AND MARS Archive Collection (2014), and McCARTNEY Deluxe (2016). The 3-minute radio edit of the song was included on the WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY compilation album.
