- MPL Communications Ltd./EMI Records Ltd.- 724353285029- 500 grn
WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY is a compilation album by English musician Paul McCartney, featuring material spanning his first solo album McCartney in 1970 to the 1984 Give My Regards To Broad Street movie soundtrack. It features songs recorded with Wings in addition to solo material. Album was released on 7th May 2001. WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY is separated into two distinct sets: the HITS disc features commercially successful material, while HISTORY showcases lesser-known songs from the same period. While his fellow ex-bandmates busied themselves with various high-profile projects, Paul McCartney climbed into a van with his wife and a few journeyman players and gigged at university student unions for what amounted to spare change. Of course, by 1976 they were one of the biggest draws in rock, having the last laugh - if not necessarily the final word. Gathering the cream of their recorded output on a generous double-disc sampler-cum-TV-special-soundtrack seemed a promising effort at historical revisionism, but WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY itself is a distinct misnomer: fully 17 of the 40 tracks here hail from various pre- and post-Wings McCartney solo albums. All the expected hits are here and more, ranging from spunky rockers and hook-rich bubblegum to syrup-drenched ballads. What's lacking is a fresh and less myopic perspective.
COMPILATION INCLUDES:
CD1 - HITS;
CD2 - HISTORY.
Paul McCartney always got the short end of the stick when he was in The Beatles and again in the '70s, as he and his erstwhile partner John Lennon pursued solo careers. McCartney was attacked for his virtues - for his melodicism and his domesticity, along with his desire to form a real touring band following The Beatles. None of these were celebrated at the time, but he moved many, many records and sold countless concert tickets, which only hardened opposition toward him. But, in retrospect, McCartney's albums make for the most fascinating body of work among any of the ex-Beatles, and really among any of his peers. Yes, there were pitfalls among the heights, but that's part of what makes his career so fascinating - each record is distinctive, and even if the songs themselves are shallow, at least lyrically, the melodic skill and studio savvy behind each are hard not to admire. This may require a bit of conversion, and if you're not up to trudging through his individual works, even such masterworks as Ram, the double-disc set WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY is ideal. McCartney has had a number of career overviews before, including such seemingly comprehensive discs as All The Best, but those were plagued by vaguely haphazard sequencing. This is nearly perfectly executed, dividing McCartney's career between the HITS and HISTORY, with the latter being devoted to album tracks that are acknowledged classics, yet never were singles. Now, it's true that this isn't completely comprehensive, but nothing has come as close to capturing the quirky brilliance of McCartney's solo career, how it balanced whimsical pop with unabashedly sentimental romantic ballads, piledriving rockers, and anything in between. And what makes WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY so impressive is how the HISTORY disc fills in the gaps that HITS. That's why WINGSPAN: HITS AND HISTORY isn't just a good hits collection - it's a convincing argument that McCartney's solo recordings are a rich, idiosyncratic body of work of their own merits. Ram, Red Rose Speedway, and London Town all have their merits, but if you need to be converted, this is where to start.
