Album Notes

In 2014 Wings' Venus and Mars received the Paul McCartney Archive Collection treatment. Featuring the original 13-track album remastered at Abbey Road, the Archive Collection also included bonus tracks including 'Junior’s Farm' and 'My Carnival'. As with all the Archive Collection, Paul personally supervised all aspects of the reissue and remastering work was done at Abbey Road by the same team who have worked on all the reissues as well as The Beatles’ catalogue.

The remastered 3-disc (2CD, 1DVD) Deluxe Edition is housed in a hardback book featuring unpublished photographs, new interviews with Paul, material from Paul’s archives and expanded track-by-track information. The deluxe version bonus DVD will be comprised of filmed material from around the time of each release, some of which has never been seen before.

Following 1973’s Band on the Run the mid ‘ 70s were a commercial heyday for Wings. Venus and Mars, the band’s fourth studio album was released in May 1975 ahead of the legendary ‘Wings Over The World’ tour. Preceded by the US Number One single ‘Listen To What The Man Said’, Venus and Mars hit the Number One spot in the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic and went on to sell over 4 million copies worldwide to date.
