Paul McCartney – Wings Over America – LP

Details

Triple vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Selected from 90 hours of recordings, Wings over America is a faithful account of the 1975-76 world tour that captures the band at it’s peak. It was taped at several of the US shows, but mixed as if it were a single performance. Paul combined old Beatle favorites with highlights from a solo catalog that was now achieving real stature. Though an expensive triple disc on vinyl (it had been planned as a double, but a rival bootleg version encouraged Paul to expand it) sales were remarkable and it remains one of very few live albums to make #1 in America incidentally becoming the band’s fifth #1 album in a row.
