Last December we were delighted to have been selected by the team behind the Paul McCartney Archive Collection to exclusively spotlight the meticulous work Paul has personally supervised with the reissue series from his back catalog—all newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios.
In the spirit of the last year’s holiday season, the entire Paul McCartney Archive Collection to date, as well as 2012′s Kisses on the Bottom was made available to TVD readers through a series of special giveaways during the month of December, courtesy of Sir Paul and his team.
Arriving a week ago on store shelves is a new addition to The Paul McCartney Archive Collection—the 2013 remastered version of Wings Over America, the truly “monumental live album by Paul McCartney and Wings, originally released in December of 1976. Recorded throughout the band’s Wings Over America U.S. tour dates earlier that Spring, the album reached #1 in the US in early 1977.”
Paul’s team has once more supplied us with 3 copies of the newly remastered, 3-LP, 180 gram, 2013 edition to award to 3 of you—and in addition have provided us with a unique and exclusive side by side comparison as to the sonic enhancements from the previous CD release in 1987 to contrast what has been achieved in 2013 for the Archive Collection. Stunning:
“Containing almost two full hours of music, Wings Over America offers a stunning rendition of “Maybe I’m Amazed,” plus Wings classics such as ‘Live and Let Die,’ ‘My Love,’ and ‘Let Em In.’”
“McCartney also included some Beatles classics into the set list, including ‘Yesterday,’ ‘The Long and Winding Road,’ and more for the first time since the Beatles had broken up six years earlier.”
