The classic Wings albums include Wildlife, Red Rose Speedway, Band On The Run, Venus and Mars, Wings At The Speed of Sound, Wings Over America, London Town and Back To The Egg. The reissue campaign also includes albums recorded under the McCartney pseudonyms Percy “Thrills" Thrillington, The Fireman and Twin Freaks.



McCartney fans can look forward to an ambitious and rewarding reissue program beginning in August with Band On The Run, which will be available in a variety of configurations, including a special collector's multi-disc edition with remastered audio, enhanced packaging and rare bonus content.
