Selected from 90 hours of recordings, Wings Over America is a faithful account of the 1975-76 world tour that captures the band at its peak. It was taped at several of the U.S. shows but mixed as if it were a single performance. Paul combined old Beatles favorites with highlights from a solo catalog that was now achieving a real stature. Though originally planned as a double-disc, a rival bootleg version encouraged Paul to expand it to a triple-disc set. 180-gram vinyl.

The Sound!
The sound of this LP is fantastic! Wings were such a great band, and this live show proves it. Killer versions of the big hits: Band on the Run, Let Em In, Silly Love Songs. Highly recommended.

It was remixed and a lot of the live stuff is filtered out
Decided to get back into vinyl and bought one of my all-time favorite albums thinking it was still the same. It was remixed and a lot of the live content, like the little comments and things you could hear in the crowd are filtered out. A big disappointment for somebody who enjoys live recordings.

Essential McCartney
McCartney in his prime and at his best. A great value and one of the essential live rock albums to have in your collection!

album is iconic, new vinyl not so much
the music sounds great .. this album is among the most iconic live performances of the 70s. 5 stars for the overall content and presentation.but the newly pressed vinyl: ... unlined cardboard sleeves that are so tight i could barely get the albums out .... center hole too small to fit on the spindle (really?) ... slightly warped discs. This is why i usually stick to vintage vinyl only.... which actually has less issues than new pressings.

If you like Wings, Paul McCartney, or the Beatles, your collection won't be complete without this album.

Not good
The 1st copy I received didn’t fit on the post of the turn table. One out of 3 discs did fit but it was warped.The album cover was bent on two corners.I complained and they were responsive to send out another copy right away as a replacement.Same quality issues only one bent corner on the cover though. I decided to keep this copy and try to work the discs. So I took a round file to the center hole of the discs and opened them up a bit until they fit on the turn table. They play but there is still some warping to the discs and the sound quality aid not that of the older used records I find in the local stores.I don’t think I’ll be buying any more 80 gram new pressings of anything. Very disappointed in this but I didn’t want to return another one and search for the album so I kept It.I would recommend you find a local store and search the bins of used albums. The quality is much better.
7**!
Excellent live album
I have this on CD and decided to invest in the vinyl version. Excellent live album capturing a band at it's peak and helping to define the mid 70's arena rock/soft rock vibe. Paul is on peak vocal form and the band are **** hot. Not a dud song and played great. Flows so well, even as a triple LP with the disruption of changing dics etc. On a side note, not affecting the album of course, but the 2nd and 3rd disc would not fit on my spindle so had to file the hole while the poster was creased very badly, which is a shame. However, no blemishes on the vinyl, which is always a bonus these days!

A brilliant live album
This was McCartney and Co at their peak. I remember the documentary of this tour a long, long time ago. A brilliant entertainer and a must for for any live record collection.

How to do a live album
It may be 40 years ago or so but it's still one hell of a live album6 sides of Paul, Wings and Beatles. Wish I'd seen the Beatles live.

Con algunos detalles pero excelente
La habilidad de Sir Paul McCartney para crear canciones únicas de forma muy especial que solo el sabe hacer, este gran disco refleja su apogeo total al haber formado una nueva agrupación con la que llegarían éxitos innumerables e insuperables hasta la fecha. Sin duda quien adquiera este álbum lo disfrutara tanto como si estuviera en un concierto de los Wings en los 70s.En cuanto al envió y empaquetado 7/10La paquetería no tuvo el cuidado que se merece al transportar un articulo tan delicado como los disco de vinyl, tanto que hasta la parte superior de la portada venia cortada, los discos excelentes físico y audio, pero el único problema fue ese ademas de que venia abierta la caja de Amazon.
