Paul McCartney Announces New Wings Archive Releases
Paul McCartney announced the release of two Wings archive packages, including the appearance of a long-hidden TV movie that was never shown.
The band’s first two albums, Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway, have each been expanded into limited deluxe editions, with the first set including three CDs and a DVD, and the second including three CDs, two DVDs and a Blu-Ray. Red Rose Speedway is also presented in its originally planned double-album length.
They'll be released on Dec. 7.
The most interesting item for McCartney fans is The Bruce McMouse Show, presented on the Red Rose Speedway DVD and Blu-ray. Based around live footage from Wings’ 1972 European tour, the film featured an animated family of mice that interacted with the artists in the style of Disney’s Mary Poppins.
McCartney, reportedly unhappy with the results, shelved the movie after only a handful of people could see it. The restored film is accompanied by 14 replica character sketches by McCartney himself, dialogue sheets and more.
Both reissued sets include bonus audio tracks, video features, tour memorabilia, interviews and more. You can see track listings below.
