Paul McCartney & Wings - Wings Greatest Hits [Audio CD]

This collection charts the story of a band as it became one of the biggest-selling acts of all time. With US #1 singles including "My Love", "Band on the Run", "Listen to What the Man Said", "Silly Love Songs" and "With a Little Luck" (featured on all WINGS formats) and over 22 million albums sold around the world, Wings defied expectations. "Mull of Kintyre" became the first single in the UK to sell more than two million copies - overtaking "She Loves You" to become the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK. At their core Wings were a great rock band, but as WINGS amply demonstrates, they were so much more: The sprawling compilation showcases the band's versatility with a staggering tracklisting that spans pop, folk, soul, reggae and experimentation with songs like "C Moon", "Goodnight Tonight", "Arrow Through Me", "Wild Life" and more. Following the breakup of The Beatles, McCartney found himself adrift, having parted ways with his lifelong collaborators and closest friends. He missed the camaraderie, the creative spark that came from being in a band. Faced with the daunting choice of walking away from music or starting over, Wings was born. Formed in 1971 with his wife Linda McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine, Wings quickly became Paul's vehicle for both personal healing and artistic rebirth. Over the course of a decade, the band released seven studio albums and charted an ambitious, unpredictable journey that blended musical experimentation with global success. Rather than rely on past glories, Wings forged their own identity, often in the face of critical skepticism and frequent lineup changes. Their story is one of triumph, resilience, and a deep belief in the power of reinvention.
