Apple Records issued " My Love " as a single on 23 March 1973 , with the US release following on 9 April . The B-side was " The Mess " , recorded live at the Netherlands Congresgebouw in The Hague on 21 August 1972 . For the first time in the group 's career , the release was credited to " Paul McCartney & Wings " , rather than Wings alone . The name change was made in the belief that the disappointing sales of Wings ' 1971 debut , '' Wild Life '' , were due to the public being unaware of McCartney 's involvement . '' Red Rose Speedway '' was released on 30 April 1973 and was similarly credited to Paul McCartney & Wings . " My Love " was sequenced as the album 's second track , between " Big Barn Bed " and " Get on the Right Thing " . The single 's release marked the start of a highly active period for Wings . The band filmed a promotional clip for the song , which used an alternate McCartney lead vocal . They also promoted the single on the '' James Paul McCartney '' TV special . McCartney had agreed to do the special in return for Lew Grade , whose company ATV owned the Northern Songs publishing catalogue , dropping his legal objections to Linda being credited as a co-writer on many of his songs since 1971 . The band filmed a performance of " My Love " for '' Top of the Pops '' , which was shown on the 4 and 11 April editions of the show . Immediately after completing this performance , McCullough vomited on the stage ; drunk beforehand , he had become nauseated by the studio smoke effects . The incident had an adverse effect on his already fractious relationship with McCartney . Wings played " My Love " throughout their 1973 UK tour . These live performances were the source of frustration for McCullough , who was denied the freedom to improvise when playing the solo . Adhering to a populist approach over McCullough 's blues sensibilities , McCartney insisted that he reproduce the solo exactly as heard on the studio recording
