Album Notes

In 2014 Wings' At The Speed Of Sound received the Paul McCartney Archive Collection treatment. Featuring the original 11-track album remastered at Abbey Road, the Archive Collection also included 7 bonus tracks including 'Silly Love Songs' and 'Let Em' In'. 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The remastered 3-disc (2CD, 1DVD) Deluxe Edition is housed in a hardback book featuring unpublished photographs, new interviews with Paul, material from Paul’s archives and expanded track-by-track information.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.

At The Speed Of Sound was recorded in the midst of the same tour and released in March 1976. In the US it enjoyed the same chart success as its predecessor. Including the international smash hit single 'Silly Love Songs', the album went on to become Paul’s most successful American chart album spending seven consecutive weeks at Number One. In the UK it charted at Number Two, narrowly missing out on the top spot. Sales to date exceed 3.5 million worldwide.
