London Town (Wings album) of 1976, with "Wings at the Speed of Sound" and the well-received Wings Over the World tour, Wings' leader Paul McCartney planned on making 1977 a similar year. In February, Wings began recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios, which continued until the end of March. Wings recorded five songs there: "Girls' School", "Name and Address", "London Town", "Children, Children" and Linda McCartney's "B-Side to Seaside". The latter was issued as the flip-side of the Wings single "Seaside Woman" (issued under the name "Suzy and the Red Stripes"). The initial plan that Wings would tour in the US once more was
The Stripes when she made a guest appearance at Howard Jones' 20th anniversary concert in London, she wore a top emblazoned with the name of the band and the bonus tracks of the "Made in Germany Live" album included live performances of two of The Stripes' songs recorded at a Berlin concert in November 2009. The Stripes The Stripes were a German pop music ensemble founded on 2 July 1979 in the town of Hagen by Rainer Kitzmann, who played guitar. The lead singer was Gabriele Susanne Kerner, before she became known as Nena Kerner, who would later form the band Nena.
