From Contest | RECORD STORE DAY:
Have you heard? There’s a McCartney-ssaince going on!
Paul McCartney is on the road spreading his “wings” on the GOT BACK tour, and there’s a brand new BOOK and COMPILATIONS chronicling WINGS — the band that defined the sound of the 1970s!
We thought maybe we’d tie all those things together so at a tour stop, we were honored that Sir Paul took a backstage moment to sign a copy of WINGS (the 3 LP Deluxe Box Set Edition) for us to give to a Record Store Day winner! And he threw in a (non-autographed) copy of his new book WINGS: THE STORY OF A BAND ON THE RUN as well!
You can enter to win this WING-ed Prize Pack below, and you can head to your local record store to pick up a copy of WINGS (on CD, Vinyl, Double CD, 3 LP or 3 LP Deluxe boxset edition) for your own nest!
*Contest ends December 1 and open only to entries with a valid US Physical address
Two winners will each receive:
- (1) autographed WINGS: The Definitive Collection 3LP Deluxe Vinyl Boxset
- (1) Wings: Story of A Band on the Run book

Just wondering when Linda Eastman / McCartney became co-writer for so many of the Wings songs , eg Silly Love Songs which is credited to Paul McCartney on WATSofS
The PaulMcCartney Project • Feb 04, 2026 • 1 month ago
Hi Peter, Linda started being credited on RAM tracks (see https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/1971/03/paul-mccartney-in-conflict-with-northern-songs-over-song-credit-given-to-linda/ )
