WINGSPAN : HITS AND HISTORY.

WINGSPAN : HITS AND HISTORY : I am a great Paul McCartney fan and I have had almost all of his albums except for the odd classical and experimental albums. So I wasn't really keen to get this collection. I don't mind owning it of course but at $99.00, that'a a bit too much for songs that I've already owned. I stumbled onto this at a book fair and it was going at the incredible steal of $9.90. Naturally I grabbed it. Hearing an album of all of Paul McCartney's hits is always a satisfying listen leaves one wanting for more.....

HITS :

Listen To What The Man Said ( McCartney ) : Refers to " Venus And Mars"album.

Band On The Run ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Band On The Run " album.

Another Day ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Ram " album.

Live And Let Die ( McCartney ) : Somehow due to whatever reasons  I am not sure but this smash James Bond Theme from the movie was a same name was a stand alone single and was never available on any album at least on those that I owe. This movie incidentally was also Roger Moore's debut as James Bond. The song was more memorable than the movie. One of the better James Bond Themes.

Jet ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Band On The Run" album.

My Love ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Red Rose Speedway " album.

Let 'Em In ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Wings At The Speed Of Sound" album.

Goodnight Tonight ( McCartney ) : Refers to "McCartney 2 " album.

Junior's Farm ( McCartney ) : This was yet another edited version of the single released. A solid rocker typical of the type that Paul was releasing at that time. The B sides 'Sally G" was even better.

Mull Of Kintyre ( McCartney / Laine ) : Refers to "London Town" album.

Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey ( McCartney ) : Refers to "Ram" album.

With A Little Luck ( McCartney ) : This smash hit from the "London Town" was not the version as on the album but a short version without the killer link which was a pity.
