Red Rose Speedway is the second album by Paul McCartney and Wings, and the fourth by Paul McCartney since leaving the Beatles. The album was released in 1973 after the relatively weak commercial performance of McCartney's previous, Wild Life, which had been credited to the then-unknown Wings. Red Rose Speedway reached number 1 on the Billboard 200. "My Love" was a number one single and the most successful track from the album.
Background
In early 1972, McCartney decided to expand Wings to a five-piece band, by adding another guitarist, and to begin touring with the group. The group spent many months on the road across Europe, beginning with a tour of British universities.
Despite not releasing an album in 1972, Wings managed to release three singles: "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" which was banned by the BBC for political reasons; "Mary Had a Little Lamb"; and "Hi, Hi, Hi", which was banned by the BBC for drug references and sexually suggestive lyrics.
Recording
Recording for Red Rose Speedway began in March 1972. It was initially planned as a double album, and McCartney decided to include some unreleased songs that had originally been recorded during the Ram sessions prior to the formation of Wings. Two of those songs, "Get on the Right Thing" and "Little Lamb Dragonfly", appeared on the final album. Beginning on 19 March, sessions were held at Olympic Studios in London, after which recording continued sporadically throughout the year.Glyn Johns was invited to produce the Olympic sessions, but after a series of disagreements with McCartney, he quit the project on 17 April, saying: "Now we have respect for each other." More recording took place over October and November 1972 at Abbey Road Studios and Olympic.Morgan, Trident and Island were the other London studios where the band recorded that year.
A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
The family name Keats, a surname of England, is believed to be descended originally from the Anglo Saxon race from old English word cyta or cyte which has been used to describe a worker at the shed, outhouse for animals, hence herdsman. It can also be attributed to the Middle English word kete or kyte (the bird) from greed or rapacity.
The family name Keats emerged as a notable family name in the county of Devonshire where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated at Kitts and they were the Lords of the manor and of now extinct baronets. They also branched into Berkshire and Gloucestershire. As of the 1891 census in England most Keats's or Keates's were resident in Staffordshire.
In North America members of the family name Keats had made their way to the New World in such places as Newfoundland, Maryland, Boston, Philadelphia and Anchorage. These first migrants could be considered a kinsman of the surname Keats or a variable spelling of the family name.
Some of early instances of Keats in North America are:
