"Wings Over America" was just one of those live albums that you listened to over and over.....just like Frampton Comes Alive !
The thirty songs on this triple 180g Vinyl set were taken from the 1976 Wings World tour (seen by over two million people) from the following gigs : 1975 - British Tour, 1975 - Australian Tour , 1976 - European Tour (Denmark, Germany, Holland and France), 1976 - American Tour, 1976 - European Tour (Austria, Yugoslavia, Italy and Germany) and the 1976 - London show .
Wings over America was the first Wings live album and what a way to kick it off! The line up on these tours dates were Paul, and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch (guitars) and Joe English (drums) with the brass section of Tony Dorsey - Trombone,Howie Casey - Saxophone,
Steve Howard - Trumpet and flugelhorn, and Thaddeus Richard - Saxophone, clarinet and flute.
Like so many of the great albums of my life the album sleeve was designed by Storm T at Hipgnosis. What also makes this live set just so special was the inclusion of some Beatles songs which Paul had refused to play on previous tours. The Wings albums "Band On The Run", "Venus and Mars" and "At The Speed Of Sound" are well represented here.
This live set has been lovingly remastered and pressed to solid 180g vinyl with great results! The audio remaster was accomplished by the team of Guy Massey, Steve Rooke and Simon Gibson at Abbey Road Studios London in 2012. The sound of this treasured live album has never sounded so good! The 3 LP set comes in a solid heavy cardboard sleeve package with replica poster, art work and
