According to Wikipedia:
“London Town” is the seventh album by Wings and was released in 1978. The recording of the project was a long and tumultuous one, which saw the loss of two of its band members, the birth of a baby and the release of Britain's then top-selling single of all time - all during London Town's making. “London Town” generally fared well with the critics and in the charts, reaching #4 in the UK and #2 in the US where it went platinum. But after its strong start, it did not have the staying power of Wings' previous releases, with subsequent singles "I've Had Enough" and the title track becoming small hits. Although the advent of punk music (which sent the music industry into a period of change) would certainly have contributed to the slightly smaller sales of “London Town”, the album is now considered to mark the end of Wings' commercial peak and the beginning of a minor commercial slump for McCartney.
…Paul McCartney was reportedly displeased with Capitol Records in the US, where "Mull Of Kintyre" had surprisingly flopped (with B-Side "Girls School" merely becoming a Top 40 hit) and was further dismayed at what he viewed as a lackluster promotion for “London Town”. With his contract at an end, he promptly signed up with Columbia Records for North America only (remaining with EMI worldwide) and would stay there until 1984, before returning to Capitol in the US.
