McCartney’s latest legacy project is this 32-track overview of the second band McCartney was in. I am a huge fan of Wings, and if you are, too, you don’t need this collection.
For new fans, it gives a good selection of tracks. The strangest thing is the running order. Different iterations of the band and back-and-forth in time. For that reason, I am not looking to buy a physical copy of this. I already have all of the albums and there is no new re-mastering of tracks. The companion insert material might be interesting but I am looking forward to reading the oral history of the band instead.
I’ve gotten tired of so many things being released with minor differences in each released. This has vinyl, bluray, 2-CD, and single CD versions. I’ve heard that the bluray release, which should have excellent fidelity, is disappointing.
If you’ve got access to a streaming service, go ahead and give this a listen, but save your money for something else!
