Album Description

Reissue of the 1976 album. Featuring bracing renditions of 'Maybe I'm Amazed', arguably the best of McCartney's post-Beatles songs and possibly his single greatest composition and 'Band on the Run', as well as nicely distilling down the harder side of his repertory, with a few breaks for softer songs such as 'My Love' and 'Silly Love Songs'; another highlight is the rippling bass sound, showing off that instrument in a manner closer in spirit to, say, a John Entwistle solo LP than to McCartney's more pop-focused studio work. Packaged in a paper sleeve. EMI. 2005.

Album Details

Japanese Triple CD Version featuring LP Style Splicases for Initial Pressing. Includes a Bonus Poster.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Wings Over America - Remastered At Last.......2000-06-13

The mid 1980's were not a particularly good time for CD hungry Beatlefans. The actual Beatle recordings would not appear on CD until 1987, and the solo Beatle product avaivalbe was limited, at best. Paul McCartney, who was under contract with Columbia Records at the time, was fortunate enough to see much of his solo catalog released on CD before most Lennon, Harrison, & Starr material was remastered for the "new" digital medium. One of the first Macca CD's Columbia released was a 2 disc version of "Wings Over America." Beatlefans were initially overjoyed to have 2 CD's of McCartney's best "live" solo and Beatles material. Many, however, were disappointed to find that the sound quality left something to be desired.

When Paul took his catalog back to Capitol several years later, the hope was that new remastering would improve the muddy, hissy sound quality of Columbia's releases. Unfortunately, on Capitol's new "Wings Over America," there was little to no improvement. By the early 1990's, Parlophone/EMI in Europe again remastered Paul's solo catalog, and for the first time, there was finally dramatic improvement over the earlier 2 sets of reissues. However, a new "Wings Over America" was inexplicably left out of the "Paul McCartney Collection" catalog.
