This collection charts the story of a band as it became one of the biggest-selling acts of all time. With US #1 singles including My Love, Band on the Run, Listen to What the Man Said, Silly Love Songs, and With a Little Luck (featured on all WINGS formats) and over 22 million albums sold around the world, Wings defied expectations. Mull of Kintyre became the first single in the UK to sell more than two million copies overtaking She Loves You to become the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK.At their core Wings were a great rock band, but as WINGS amply demonstrates, they were so much more: The sprawling compilation showcases the bands versatility with a staggering tracklisting that spans pop, folk, soul, reggae and experimentation with songs like C Moon, Goodnight Tonight, Arrow Through Me, Wild Life and more.Following the breakup of The Beatles, McCartney found himself adrift, having parted ways with his lifelong collaborators and closest friends. He missed the camaraderie, the creative spark that came from being in a band. Faced with the daunting choice of walking away from music or starting over, Wings was born.Formed in 1971 with his wife Linda McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine, Wings quickly became Pauls vehicle for both personal healing and artistic rebirth. Over the course of a decade, the band released seven studio albums and charted an ambitious, unpredictable journey that blended musical experimentation with global success. Rather than rely on past glories, Wings forged their own identity, often in the face of critical skepticism and frequent lineup changes. Their story is one of triumph, resilience, and a deep belief in the power of reinvention.3LP Standard (Black)WINGS is the ultimate anthology of the band that defined the sound of the 1970s.A lovingly curated time capsule of imagery and music personally overseen by PaulMcCartney, WINGS includes 32 timeless international hits including 'Band on the Run', 'Live and Let Die',Jet' and 'Let Em In' - songs that still feature in his live shows to this day.Presented in a hardback slipcase, the 3LP 180g vinyl collection was designed by Paul and Aubrey 'Po'Powell of Hipgnosis.The expanded booklet also includes an introduction by Paul plus extensive album-by-album notes on theiconic artwork written by Po, with additional editorial by Pete Paphides and showcases original portraitsof the band by Humphrey Ocean.In addition to the booklet, the 3LP set includes a poster.TRACK LISTINGS:3LP / 2CD Band on the Run (2010 Remaster)Hi, Hi, Hi (2018 Remaster) Silly Love Songs (2014 Remaster)Letting Go (2014 Remaster) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five (2010 Remaster) Live and Let Die (2018 Remaster) Mamunia (2010 Remaster) Juniors Farm (2014 Remaster) Helen Wheels (2022 Remaster) Some People Never Know (2018 Remaster) Let Em In (2014 Remaster) Get on the Right Thing (2018 Remaster) Jet (2010 Remaster) My Love (2018 Remaster) Call Me Back Again (2014 Remaster) Getting Closer (2022 Remaster) Listen to What the Man Said (2014 Remaster)Ive Had Enough (2022 Remaster) Love Is Strange (2018 Remaster) London Town (2022 Remaster) Arrow Through Me (2016 Remaster) Venus and Mars/Rock Show (2022 Remaster) Shes My Baby (2014 Remaster) Bluebird (2010 Remaster) Deliver Your Children (2022 Remaster) Let Me Roll It (2010 Remaster) Mull of Kintyre (2016 Remaster) Wild Life (2018 Remaster) C Moon (2018 Remaster) With a Little Luck (2018 Remaster) Soily Goodnight Tonight (2016 Remaster)
