Please issue "Wings Over Europe" as a separate release.


The PaulMcCartney Project • 6 years ago

I can't agree more, Kevin ! Strange to bundle it in the very expensive boxset, and not make it available as standalone release !


Glen Royer • 6 years ago

Finally !!! Thank you Paul for releasing this incredible early Wings package. I love all the Wings stuff not only for its relevance in music history but for the simplistic beauty of very early wings material through the mega hits silly love songs and band on the run, right up to the killer comming up and spin it on tunes which capture the period of the 70's so well. Paul did exactly what he said he would do after the Beatles split and i am sure the other lads were proud, jelous and knocked out by it all. Early Wings on tour could very well have been the Beatles IF the boys would have listened to Paul about hitting the road again , as a simple lil rock and roll unit (like the old days). My favorite two Wings/Mccartney albums -Red Rose and Wild life now as a deluxe box set...... who the hell could ask for more? Keep the treasures comming young man. ps. would like too see the over europe released as a stand alone as well. More affordable for a lot of the younger fans. Also, STILL a lot of unreleased live shows and tracks that need to see the light of day. Time to show the kids what true artistry and musicianship is all about.


The PaulMcCartney Project • 6 years ago

Thanks Glen - very wise words ! :)


FLORENCE GENTILHOMME • 6 years ago

the first edition is already sold out will there be another edition


The PaulMcCartney Project • 6 years ago

@florence unfortunately no indication there will be a 2nd edition :(


FLORENCE GENTILHOMME • 6 years ago

can you send me news as soon as possible second edition will be available I am a big fan of Paul and I would be sad not to have this magnificent item in my collection thank you for your kindness Florence


klsbsw • 6 years ago

This is already sold out on Paul's website. Will it be released again?


The PaulMcCartney Project • 6 years ago

@florence, @klsbsw Will tell you if I notice a 2nd issue is coming !


JP • 6 years ago

Very sad this set sold out almost two weeks before release. The sales page said "limited" but did not indicated how limited. To add salt on the wound, the McCartney people sent us an email advertising the set on launch day with a link. I was excited for a second, but it was still... sold out.


W.A. Linke • 5 years ago

Strange to hear a Dutch intro to Big Barn Bed from Newcastle. What's that???


The PaulMcCartney Project • 5 years ago

Hi W.A. Linke, what I've read is that there had been a lot of editing on Wings Over Europe - to make it like a full concert experience, rather than a collection of tracks from various concerts. As a result, Big Barn Bed is really from 1973 Newcastle, but the intro is from one of the Dutch concerts


Haruka (@Magical_Drone) • 5 years ago

Bought both the Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway deluxe archives but I would have loved to get that Wings Over Europe package: the programme and of course the concert. To me it was the best Wings line-up and such testimonies of Paul starting all over are so rare and precious. Please make it a stand-alone release !!!


Andy • 5 years ago

It takes the piss that they put in the ultra rare Wings over europe and package it all together with Wild Life reissued to just and justify the extortionate price. Just put it out as single album at an affordable price for all us loyal fans. Am damn sure MPL has made enough money already.


Jay Zee • 5 years ago

A real shame this isn't available separately. I don't begrudge anyone able to afford all the fancy box sets, books and artwork, but the music... The Music! Guess what happens when the recording industry's (or whoever decides) strategy is to not make this available to regular fans...?


Ronn van Etten • 4 years ago

Waiting for the seperate release of Wings over Europe.


Marco Pertusati • 4 years ago

I Just bought "wild life" and "red rose" archives edition... it's possibile to hope to have Wings Over Europe separately? Cheers from Italy!


The PaulMcCartney Project • 4 years ago

hi @marco, unfortunately, Wings Over Europe has never been sold as an individual release !


Graham Pratchett • 3 years ago

I think that box set for the average fan was way too expensive. So could you now issue the cd set of Wings Over Europe. That's the only Box Set that is missing in my collection


Graham Pratchett • 3 years ago

can you release the Wings Over Europe Deluxe separately, because at the time of release of the box set i'd already purchased the other two
