Little Woman Love

It was composed by Paul McCartney in 1970 and recorded during the Ram sessions but left off the album.^[2] In keeping with McCartney's practice at the time, the composition was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney.

Beatle biographer John Blaney describes "Little Woman Love" as a "breezy rocker" with a rockabilly feel.^[2] The song is unusual for Wings in that instead of Paul McCartney playing electric bass guitar, jazz musician Milt Hinton plays slap bass.^[2]

Cash Box described it as a "Lady Madonna-ish rocker."^[3]

While "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was dismissed by the critics, it climbed to the top 10 in the United Kingdom.^[4] In the United States, however, radio stations also played "Little Woman Love." As a result, the picture sleeve for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was revised by Apple Records to have a separate listing for the flip side. The single reached number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.^[5] On the Cash Box chart, which listed single sides separately, "Little Woman Love" only appeared for one week at number 95.^[6]

"Little Woman Love" was never released on an album until 1993, when it was included as a bonus track to Wild Life in The Paul McCartney Collection. It was included on the Special and Deluxe editions of Ram^[7] and Red Rose Speedway. It was later included on The 7" Singles Box in 2022.^[8]
