Wings Over America Remastered and Rereleased

Postby JRNYMAN » Thu May 23, 2013 8:36 pm

Such a great album! Most of the album's tracks are in regular rotation in my playlist.
Here's "My Love" remastered from the forth-coming album/DVD.

Here's Ultimate Classic Rock's article:

The record, which chronicles the band’s massive 1976 US stadium tour, is being re-released in a variety of formats on May 28. Most exciting among these is a four-disc (3 CD, 1 DVD) deluxe box set that comes complete with a bonus disc of audio, a rarely seen television special entitled ‘Wings Over the World,’ plus four books filled with art, memorabilia and photographs. You can enter to win your very own copy right here!

The remastering and repackaging of this album, much like the acclaimed recent campaigns for classic albums such as ‘Band on the Run’ and ‘Ram,’ was personally supervised by McCartney. You can hear the results on this tender live version of ‘My Love,’ a No. 1 hit from the group’s 1973 album ‘Red Rose Speedway.’

You can learn more about ‘Wings Over America’ over at McCartney’s official website.

I've never been a big fan of McCartney's post-Beatles work.

Wings Over America's a GREAT album. Like a lot of live albums back then, there was a lotta post-production work done to it, but that was a HUGE tour for its time and a killer concert for sure. There were a lot of great Wings tracks and that tour was a great showcase not only for Paul but for Wings which really became not just Paul's backup band, but a band of personalities in their own right.

This is a great Wings track done live on WOA (with Denny Laine taking the lead vocal)- GREAT tune:

Great bass playing on this one.

One more underrated Wings track: Letting Go. Another Great song:

NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.
