"Backwards Traveller"/"Cuff Link" is a medley of two short songs written by Paul McCartney that was first released on Wings' 1978 album London Town. The medley was also released as the B-side of Wings' US No. 1 single "With a Little Luck". Both "Backwards Traveller" and "Cuff Link" were recorded in October 1977 and completed in January 1978.[2] By this point in the London Town recording sessions, guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Joe English had left the band, so the songs were recorded by only McCartney, Linda McCartney and Denny Laine.[3][4]
