Product Description
Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run – an engrossing oral history of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles journey, chronicling the formation, rise, and legacy of Wings. Based on over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, family, band members, and key figures, this book captures the musical odyssey of a man redefining himself after The Beatles’ breakup.
From McCartney’s early days with his new wife Linda on a remote Scottish sheep farm, to unannounced university gigs, touring in a sheared-off double-decker bus with their children, surviving a robbery in Nigeria, and performing blockbuster stadium shows, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run reveals the grit, glamour, and creative triumphs of the 1970s music scene.
- Chronological Narrative: Covers McCartney, RAM, and all nine Wings albums.
- Oral History: First-hand recollections edited into a compelling narrative by Ted Widmer.
- Visual Archive: 150 black-and-white and color photographs, including many never-before-seen images.
- Extras: Timelines, gigography, and full discography.
- Foreword by Paul McCartney: Personal insights from the legendary musician himself.
With contributions from Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville, this book is both a definitive account of Wings and a masterclass in oral history, celebrating the music, stories, and spirit of an unforgettable era.
