Despite the title of this two-CD set, WINGSPAN is actually a mix of Paul McCartney's solo songs and work created with his '70s band, divided into "Hits" and "History" discs. Material like "Silly Love Songs," "My Love," "Bluebird" and "Listen To What The Man Said" fully embraces Macca's reputation as the romantic, less intense half of the Lennon/McCartney songwriting juggernaut. While these fluffy smashes found many critics painting him as a pandering lightweight, McCartney also rocked the charts as hard as Lennon with numbers like "Band On The Run," "Jet," "Junior's Farm," and "Hi Hi Hi." Along the way McCartney and Wings had a hand in a few pop-culture milestones. Among the most notable were creating arguably the greatest James Bond theme to date ("Live and Let Die") and topping the UK charts at the height of the 1977 punk revolution and a modern Celtic folk anthem ("Mull Of Kintyre"). Other more obscure but equally deserving Wings moments include the epic anthem "Rockestra Theme" (written for the London benefit concert in aid of UNICEF and Kampuchean refugees) and a live version of the ultra-funky "Coming Up" recorded at a Glasgow concert.
