Fans of Paul McCartney’s Wings are finally going to have long overdue, long rumored, remastered and expanded editions of the band’s 1972 debut, Wild Life and the 1973 surprise smash, Red Rose Speedway.

Once these two are out, the last of the Wings’ canon, 1978’s London Town and 1979’s Back To The Egg are sure to follow – which would then close out the McCartney Archives for Wings’ career, which spanned (get it?) from 1972 to 1980, with several line-up changes; McCartney, Linda McCartney and Denny Laine being the mainstays from start to finish.

While no official word has been issued, the track listings for the expanded packages, along with the art work, are available and these are substantial offerings!  When there is a formal press release, MusicTAP.net will bring you the details.  Please see below:
