Back to the Egg is the seventh and final studio album by Wings, released in May 1979 on Columbia in the US, and on June 1979 on MPL Communications in the UK. Wings members guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Joe English were replaced by Laurence Juber and Steve Holly, respectively, following the release of London Town (1978). Recording took place at Spirit of Ranachan Studios in June and July 1978, September at Lympne Castle, 3 October at Abbey Road Studios, November 1978 to February 1979 at Replica Studios, with sessions wrapping up in March and April at Abbey Road Studios. Prior to the release of the album in their homeland, "Old Siam, Sir" was released as a single in the UK.

Back to the Egg charted at number 6 and number 8, in the UK and US, respectively. Despite receiving poor critical reviews upon release, the album would eventually go gold in the UK and platinum in the US. "Rockestra Theme", recorded with several rock stars from bands such as Pink Floyd and the Who, received a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. A majority of the album's songs had promotional videos shot for them. The band toured the UK in November and December 1979, performing several songs from the album. The album was reissued in the late 1980s, in the early 1990s with additional tracks, and in 2007 for iTunes with another bonus track.
