"Little Woman Love" is a Wings song released as the B-side of the single "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on 12 May 1972.[1]
History
It was composed by Paul McCartney in 1970 and recorded during the Ram sessions but left off the album, then released as a single, although, in keeping with McCartney's practice at the time, the composition was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney.
Reception and charts
While "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was dismissed by the critics, it climbed to the top 10 in the United Kingdom.[2] 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.[3] On the Cash Box chart, which listed single sides separately, "Little Woman Love" only appeared for one week at number 95.[4]
Release
"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 the 2012 remaster of Ram.[5]
