| | Wings (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wings was a rock music band led by Paul McCartney, formed a couple of years after the dissolution of The Beatles. | | | Wings' 1977 single, "Mull of Kintyre"/"Girls School" is still the biggest-selling non-charity single in the UK (although Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sold more, its sales include a reissue in aid of the Terence Higgins Trust) and it ranked fourth in the official list of best selling singles in the UK issued in 2002. | | | The band name is said to have come to McCartney as he was praying in the hospital while Linda was giving birth to their second child together, Stella McCartney. |

| | CD Baby: 3 KISSES: Wings - from musicdish |
| | The band has released an album titled Wings. | | | This is the essence of Wings and the result is a unique sound, echoing tunes of the early 70’s with an edgy contemporary twist. | | | The band's pop influences made these songs instantly recognizable and were served with enough passion to win over even the most skeptical in the crowd. |

| | Band On The Run |
| | That and the fact that Wings left their distortion pedals at home the day they recorded that song. | | | He was telling me that his band used to play Auf Wiedersehen by Cheap Trick, and I said, "That song is metal." And he agreed, although of course he wouldn't have been playing that song if it were not metal. | | | I believe deep down that Band On The Run is a metal song, and the only thing that kept it from becoming a hard rock masterpiece is the fact that Paul McCartney just doesn't have the metal pipes needed to put it across. |

| | Wings II brought Henry McCulloch to the band as lead guitarist and prompted a 1973 tour of small concert halls in England and Europe. | | | Each member of the band is highlighted with assists on lead vocals or song composition: further demonstration of the democratic tendencies Paul has always insisted on, - actively reluctant for Wings to become his vehicle solely. | | | Wings had an almost impossible task of remaining anonymous until their line-up had settled - practically from the day they were formed. |

| | Wings at the Speed of Sound; Audio CD ~ Paul McCartney and Wings | | | To call the album a 'concept' album would be erroneous, though 'a song cycle' might be an accurate description, particularly with the recapitulation of the 'Band on the Run' chorus at the end of the final track, 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five'. | | | The album is a great example of Macca's unmatchable talent for experimenting with conventional pop formats without losing sight of the rock 'n' roll routes that orginially sparked his talent and, in turn, in great music of the Beatles. |

| | Paul McCartney/Wings |
| | Paul McCartney decided to put together a band shortly after Ram was recorded, so he found two lads by the name of Denny Seiwell (on drums) and Denny Laine (guitar), and formed the 70's group Wings. | | | The Wings first album turns out to be a major disappointment, as Wild Life is a fairly banal assortment of tunes, which mostly just end up sounding plain dumb. | | | Even though Ram and Band on The Run have very good songs on them I don't love every song on those albums but I love this album from the start to the the end and I play it much more often then Ram or Band on The Run. |

| | The album is credited to Wings, but for the first time this is a Paul McCartney album and no one gets in his way or mars the full effect. | | | Having decided it might be far out to cut a new Wings album in Lagos, Nigeria, Paul had already made all necessary arrangements when guitarist Henry McCullough and drummer Denny Seiwell announced that he could make the trip without them. | | | With just he, wife Linda and Denny Laine comprising the band, it was recorded in Nigeria, where the rhythms helped give the tunes a sunny disposition. |

| | Jon I think you have the titles confused here.The running order of the dts Band on the run is the same as the original USA and Australian Lp release. | | | I have a couple of 4.0 DTS albums from Eric Clapton, but my copy of this one is in the centre channel too, whereas the EC discs are definitely not. | | | In the process of remixing, it can be understandable that someone not familiar with the stereo mixdown might mix something way up or down relative to that tape....but to clip the first notes--that obviously--requires either ignorance, stupidity, or somebody's honest blunder, the sort of thing we don't wish to associate with professionals..... |

| | Still, Sir Paul and his Wings were at their best when simply kicking back in party mode, as evidenced by a passel of good-natured rave-ups like "Hi, Hi, Hi" and a previously unreleased, Wild Life-era medley of "Bip Bop/Hey Diddle/I Am Your Singer" that, while not essential, earns plenty of points for charm alone. | | | Wingspan is available in a regular and a limited edition, both of which include a 24-page, five-color annotated booklet featuring rare photographs of the various Wings lineups, liner notes by Beatle-ologist Mark Lewisohn, and a personal introduction by McCartney. | | | Paul McCartney always got the short end of the stick when he was in the Beatles and again in the '70s, as he and his erstwhile partner John Lennon pursued solo careers. |

| | BAND ON THE RUN |
| | Many have likened it to The Beatles, and its true that Band On The Run is Pauls best record since leaving that band, but comparing this to Abbey Road or the white album isnt particularly helpful. | | | Adding synthesizers to Band On The Run to give it atmosphere, ensuring that Let Me Roll It has the right presence, and embellishing Mrs Vanderbilt with some of the old Beatles magic are what put this album on a pedestal. | | | Like all the tracks on Band, theyre played (and sung) with passion, something Paul otherwise invoked only sparingly. |
