  MACCA-News: Geoff Emerick & Ken Scott differences of opinion on some events - Mar. 25, 2006 ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Well seems Geoff Emerick and Ken Scott disagree on a few points of fact but it is still very interesting to hear such great detail on the recording sessions from not a third party but from the people directly involved.
With regard to Geoff's assertion that my complaints are based on an uncorrected proof, he is totally incorrect.
If anyone connected with Geoff had bothered to look properly at what I wrote they would have noticed that all the page numbers given were for the final copy, not the proof copy.

 Venus and Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After recording Band on the Run as a three-piece with wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney hired Jimmy McCulloch, a young lead guitarist and Geoff Britton on drums.
Having written a slew of new songs, McCartney decided upon New Orleans as their recording venue, and Wings headed there in January 1975 to record their next album.
As soon as the sessions began, the personality clash that had been evident between McCulloch and Britton became more pronounced, and Britton—after a mere six month stay—left Wings, after having only played on three songs.
