Overview
- McCartney’s new Wings anthology arrives in multiple formats, with expanded 32-track editions sequenced like an epic live set that opens with Band on the Run and closes with Goodnight Tonight.
- The rollout follows recent deluxe reissues of Band on the Run and Venus and Mars, plus an official One Hand Clapping soundtrack, with the authorized book The Story Of A Band On The Run published this week.
- Reviewers say the collection invites reassessment by elevating lesser-known cuts such as Letting Go, Get On The Right Thing and Call Me Back Again alongside familiar hits.
- Wings, formed after the Beatles as a family-first band with Linda McCartney and Denny Laine, released seven studio albums and a triple live LP with a shifting lineup and tour routine that included the McCartney children.
- The set features marquee tracks including Jet, Live and Let Die, With a Little Luck, Let ’Em In and Mull of Kintyre, though some critics note uneven moments like I’ve Had Enough.
