"Wingspan" 2-CD Set

The "Wingspan" CD set features 40 songs, including 17 hits that sold more than a million copies each; 2½ hours of McCartney music on a double CD that's priced like a single album.

Wingspan
"Wingspan" is the soundtrack of how Paul McCartney dared to follow the Beatles with Wings in the '70s. Formed with his wife Linda, Wings were an initially back-to-basics band that rose to become one of the biggest selling acts of the era.

"Wingspan" was timed to launch in tandem with a two-hour film of the same title on ABC-TV that tells the intimate inside story of Wings. It reveals how Paul and Linda tried to raise a young family and front a new band against the handicaps of battling the Beatles, pot busts by police and bans by the BBC.

Despite setting themselves the hardest job in rock & roll, in the space of nine years, Wings soared to international success with 17 million-seller singles, five U.S. number 1 albums and eventually a U.S. stadium show that broke the Beatles' attendance record.

The 2-CD "Wingspan" album totals 151 minutes of music.
