Notes: Having completed the year long sessions for Back to the Egg in April 1979, the five members of Wings began shooting music
videos for the album with film company Keef & Co. in June that year. In addition to serving as promotional clips for their
respective songs, the videos were to be compiled into a television special, coinciding with Wings UK tour late in 1979.

The production team hired by band leader Paul McCartney included Keith MacMillan, Phil Davey and Hugh Scott-Symonds. Among the
songs filmed were "Old Siam, Sir", "Getting Closer" and "Arrow Through Me", all tracks that would be issued as singles off Back to the Egg.

The eighth selection in the TV special would be a clip for "Goodnight Tonight", a non album single released in March 1979, to
coincide with the airing of the band`s "Wings Over the World" TV film (released on the Archive DeLuxe Edition of "Wings over
America"). The "Goodnight Tonight" video was also produced by MacMillan`s company and dated from a 3 April shoot at London`s Hammersmith Palais.
