Recorded on Paul McCartney and Wings famous 1976 tour, the massive LP was released in December of that year.
1976 original pressing - STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE
We love the energy of the Wings Over America release and wish we'd been able to see that tour - we've spoken with people who were there, and it sounds amazing!
Wings Over America was released after the band's huge Wings Over The World 1975-76 tour.
.....................................................................................................
Paul was asked if there were any stand-out memories from the tour and this album?
Paul: "Well, this was the first time we started playing The Beatles songs again. So, I think, from the tours before it had been mostly Wings songs. Wings had been becoming Wings. And then on this tour, everything sort of exploded. Previously all of the efforts had been to establish Wings and to make something that wasn't like a Beatles tribute band. But once we had a few hits with Wings - and ‘Band on the Run’ was a really big hit album - we had some of these hits in our repertoire, and it did feel like, 'Oh, it's okay, now we can do Beatles stuff!' And It was quite a relief in a way because I'm always sort of conscious of what the audience wants, because my audience isn't a narrow audience, it's quite a wide group of people. There's a very good chance that they want to hear hits that they've heard you do in your career. So, if you don't do 'Hey Jude' they're probably a bit disappointed, you know. And we hadn't done anything like that at that point. So, it was kind of nice to be able to loosen up a bit and start playing songs that you thought the audience had come to hear."
Being one of the two main BEATLES meant it was EASY in the Seventies to smash America again and prove to everybody that Paul McCartney was still a king of the music world. This colossal 3-LP (six sides!) set is a giant self-congratulating testimony to that fact. The band are tight (certainly their best line-up), dripping with full backing arrangements and crackling with organ. Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar actually manages to add some individual identity to a band so clearly designed for Paul McCartney. Paul's Rickenbacker bass drives everything with a fluid thud, and his voice is superb, staying utterly feral through the rockers but maintaining sweetness for the ballads. Really there's too much here to comment on because it's filled with energetic different versions of Wings' gems coupled with a selection of Beatles tracks ("I've Just Seen A Face" being the most pleasant surprise). Highlighted by a couple of things are noticeable: the originally enervate "Letting Go" is improved greatly with a coda that ends in a jubilant blast of backing winds, and "Maybe I'm Amazed" also benefits from an extended ending which McCartney wrote in for a live setting, allowing him to go ballistic on the vocal ad-libs as he is prone to doing.
