Suzy and the Red Stripes was a pseudonym for the band Paul McCartney and Wings. The only release by Wings under that name was a single written and sung by Linda McCartney entitled "Seaside Woman", which was backed by "B-Side to Seaside."
According to an 1974 interview with Linda, she wrote the song during a McCartney family visit to Jamaica in 1971 "when ATV was suing us saying I was incapable of writing, so Paul said, 'Get out and write a song.'" It was recorded by Wings during the Red Rose Speedway sessions in 1972. The B-side was recorded in January 1974, consisting of "some chords I wrote in Africa, and we just talk over it. It's very sort of Fifties R&B, the Doves, the Penguins."
The single was first released three years later, in 1977, on Epic Records in the US, due to the efforts of Epic's Steve Popovich, who was given label credit for mastering the original single.[2] Two years after that, "Seaside Woman" was released by A&M Records in the UK in a regular version, which featured diagonal red stripes on the cover and circular ones on the label, and a special "boxed" version with 10 "saucy" seaside-style postcards. In 1986 it was re-released by EMI U.K. in an extended-length 12" version.
Linda said that the "Suzy and the Red Stripes" pseudonym for this Wings single came about because (a) she had been called "Suzy" in Jamaica because of "a fantastic reggae version of 'Suzy Q'", and (b) Red Stripe is Jamaica's leading brand of beer.
