Paul McCartney has today announced WINGS, a new Wings ‘best of’ that will be available across a number of formats including a McCartney and SDE-exclusive blu-ray audio with Dolby Atmos Mixes.

Unlike the Wingspan compilation from 2001, this new collection sticks strictly to songs from Wings albums (and Wings non-album singles) and so doesn’t include any solo hits adjacent to this era (such as ‘Another Day’ or ‘Coming Up’) or anything from 1971’s Ram (credited to Paul and Linda McCartney), despite ‘Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey’ being a US No 1 hit single in September 1971.

The 32 tracks on 3LP, 2CD and blu-ray audio formats all feature songs from the seven Wings studio albums (Wild Life, Red Rose Speedway, Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, At the Speed of Sound, London Town and Back to the Egg) along with non-album hits such as ‘Hi Hi Hi’, ‘Junior’s Farm’, ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Goodnight Tonight’. Additionally, the curio that is ‘Soily’ – a superb McCartney rocker that doesn’t exist as a proper studio recording –  is included on WINGS, in its One Hand Clapping guise. As well as the formats mentioned above, a 12-track single CD and single LP offering will be available.

The Macca & SDE-exclusive Blu-ray Audio is likely to be the format that most excites SDE readers and McCartney fans. For the first time, tracks are available in Dolby Atmos on a physical product. The mixes are by Giles Martin and Steve Orchard. 14 of them have been available in recent times on streaming, but 17 of them are unheard in this format, including tracks from un-reissued latter albums, such as ‘With A Little Luck’, ‘London Town’ and ‘I’ve Had Enough’ (from 1978’s London Town) and ‘Getting Closer’ and ‘Arrow Through Me’ (from 1979’s Back to the Egg). 7 out of the 10 tracks from the US version of Band on the Run also feature on this compilation.

Blu-ray Audio audio streams summary

  • Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)
  • 5.1 Surround Mix (48/24)
  • Hi-Res Stereo Mixes (96/24)

This blu-ray audio is presented as a ‘softpack’ with a 16-page booklet. It’s a McCartney and SDE exclusive product and is not available anywhere outside the SDE shop and McCartney’s online store. It probably goes without saying that supporting SDE with your purchase really helps with our ability to bring you future blu-rays exclusives by McCartney or Wings, or anyone else!

WINGS will be released on 7 November 2025, via Capitol/Ume. Pre-order your copy of this limited edition product from the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
