Venus and Mars is the fourth album by Wings, Paul McCartney's group formed
after The Beatles' dissolution. Released as the follow-up to the enormously
successful Band on the Run, Venus and Mars continued Wings' string of
success and would prove a springboard for a year-long worldwide tour.

After recording Band on the Run as a three-piece with wife Linda and
guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney added Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar and
Geoff Britton on drums to the Wings lineup in 1974. Having written several
new songs for the next album, McCartney decided upon New Orleans,
Louisiana as the recording venue, and Wings headed there in January of
1975.[1]

As soon as the sessions began, the personality clash that had been evident
between McCulloch and Britton during Wings' 1974 sessions in Nashville
became more pronounced, and Britton — after a mere six month stay — quit
Wings, having only played on three of the new songs.[1] A replacement,
American Joe English, was quickly auditioned and hired to finish the album.[2]

The sessions themselves proved to be very productive, not only finishing the
entire album, but also several additional songs including two future
McCartney B-sides: "Lunch Box/Odd Sox" and "My Carnival".[1] McCartney
also decided to link the songs together much like The Beatles had on Abbey
Road to give the album a more continuous feel.[3]

John Lennon, often in a nostalgic mood while in Los Angeles, had told May
Pang (his then girlfriend) that he planned to visit the McCartneys during the
recording sessions for Venus and Mars, but this was not to be. Lennon's
planned visit would be permanently postponed due to his reunion with Yoko
Ono.
