Recorded live at Cine Roma, Antwerp, Belgium, August 22nd 1972

The fact this CD is named 'I Am Your Singer' makes no sense to me. It's not really the best track and certainly not the most peculiar. The people from Goblin Records (Australia) who digitalized the same tape called their product 'Cottonfields' because it's this song that was never before and again performed by Paul and Wings.
Although this disc is very short I still like to recommend it to McCartney fans because it's the only soundboard source for a (part of a) concert from the 1972 Wings European Tour.
And...it's nice to listen to. You can hear Wings playing songs they have not rehearsed very thorough. Sometimes instruments and voices are out of tune but they seem to enjoy themselves very much.
Antwerp was one of the places where the audience didn't boo Linda when she began to sing, in fact the people applauded when Paul announced her. A funny moment in the show occurs when Paul tries to address the audience in their native language, quite difficult when you're in Belgium, saying: "Maintenant Denny Laine spielt vor euch..."

Total running time: 36:17 min.
Sound quality: excellent
