Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
While his fellow ex-bandmates busied themselves with various high-profile projects (John Lennon with Imagine and a series of high-profile media events; George Harrison with All Things Must Pass and The Concert for Bangla Desh), 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 itself is a distinct misnomer: fully 17 of the 40 tracks here hail from various pre- and post-Wings McCartney solo albums. Completely overlooked are unheralded B-sides such as "Oh Woman, Oh Why," "Little Woman Love," "Country Dreamer," "The Mess," "Walking in the Park with Eloise," "Sally G," and "Girl's School"--some of McCartney the bandleader and solo artist's scrappiest and most interesting work. 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. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Darn good but Wings Greatest was tighter.......2007-06-20

This give you more back for the buck but I have to say I like the Wings Greatest better because it is leaner and has only huge hits. This one has stuff like "C Moon" that was not a hit just a b-side I think it was not a A-side in Britain but I could be wrong. "Pipes Of Peace" was a UK number 1 but not even a US single, but no matter because it is not a Wings song. Neither is "Maybe I am Amazed", "Tug of War", "No More Lonely Nights" (both versions), "Take It Away", "Waterfalls", "Uncle Albert", "Another Day", "Man We Was Lonely", "Junk", "Every Night", "Too Many People". I think I got them all, I don't have it in front of me.

But that is all true, none of those songs were released as Wings. Which is silly because of the other hits songs he released as Wings: "Helen Wheels" (US top ten), "Maybe I'm Amazed (live)" US top ten, "I Have Had Enough", "Arrow Through Me", "Getting Closer", "London Town", "Girls School", "Sally G", Letting Go" - all of those were US top 40s.

The only "unreleased" track is a home recording that has Paul and Linda doing a medly of "Bip Bop" from the Wild Life album and "Hey Diddle". Please, they could have put the unreleased studio version of "Hey Diddle" on the album! How about any other of the many unreleased Paul songs that are very good and were going to be included on an album called Cold Cuts. What about the great "Cage" that was meant to conclude Back to the Egg (which had two top 40s, as listed above, but is only represented here by crappy Rockestra Theme probably just because it somehow won a Grammy).

5 out of 5 stars This review is not going to talk about Paul, the songwriter, but Paul the musician.......2007-04-06

When we look at Paul McCartney,
we tend to forget one very very important fact...

Paul in his prime was simply one of the finest pop singers ever to have lived..
his vocal fundamentals
and technique were flawless...

Are people too hard on Paul in general... (fans, critics, and haters alike)... YES!!! ..without a doubt!!! Without Paul's incredible vocal power and ability, The Beatles would have never been able to pull of their amazing 3 to 4 part harmonies..

In the words of Reggie Jackson, Paul was the straw the stirred the drink.. Lennon's imagination may have been there, that's surely true and was certainly a gift... Harrison's natural beauty may have been there, this is surely true and was certainly a gift..

But Paul, Mr. Paul McCartney was what made the Beatles Pop Superstars.. His voice alone had the power to silence Beatle haters (even to this day!!!)

WHY YOU MAY ASK????

BECAUSE, Paul was the Beatle and only Beatle who could scream like Robert Plant and just as easily harmonize like Elton John.. his voice (so flexible, so maleable; combo Tenor + Baritone...) was a multi technicolor dreamcoat with unparralled ability to mimic any singer on the planet.. very few singers (perhaps Elton John, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder would fit in this category) could sing with such power and finess. This is why we must pay tribute to Paul's gifts and contributions to music.. IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

5 out of 5 stars WILL IT NEVER END FOR THE BEATLES.......2007-03-27

THIS ALBUM IS JUST PROOF THAT WHEN YOU GOT IT NOTHING CAN STOP YOU FROM SHOWING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars The Good and the Bad.......2007-03-24

This album released by the record companies, is a great indication of just how good Paul McCartney is (and was) and just how boring he is (was). With the Beatles, McCartney was inspirational and a key ingredient (duh). However, had he never been a Beatle, but just some guy who ventured forth, he probably would have hit the budget bins rather quickly. Wingspan (Hits and History) exposes this truth rather well. While sappy people with sappy tastes would have loved "Silly Love Songs," discriminating music listeners find it boring. "My Love," probably the most boring song in pop history, as well as one of McCartney's biggest hits, is exposed for all its monotony here. As I recall, McCartney's post-Beatle success is largely attributed to the fact that he was a Beatle, and from having re-listened to this tripe after buying the album, I have to say that he should not have traveled so far on the charts. Some gems exist, "Band on the Run," "Maybe I'm Amazed," and "Helen Wheels," come to mind. But on the other hand what is "Helen Wheels" about? For that matter, what are "Jet," "C-Moon," and "Hi,Hi,Hi" about? Which reveals the problem with all of McCartney's songs. Not all, but most of Paul's songs are about nothing, just a series of loosely connected rhyming verses with great melodies. Hence, his value. McCartney is gifted with great melodies, and it is those great melodies that make his music worth listening to, because the lyrics go nowhere and mean nothing. But the boy can write a melody!

If you are a Paul McCartney fan, and you want a collection to put into your library, this is as good of a Paul McCartney collection as you will find. On the other hand, be ready to skip over several selections, as the tedium is high, and the gems are flawed.

3 out of 5 stars An OK Paul Mccartney introduction.......2007-03-06

I suppose this anthology is aimed at someone who has no Paul Mccartney CDs and wants a little more than the single disc All the Best. The first disc more or less duplicates All the Best, and the second appears to be Pauls picks for songs that should get more notice. I suppose it works in that respect, so this should be 4 stars. But I dock it a star- and here's why.

For starter's this is not a Wings Anthology, as the name implies. We get songs from Pauls first solo album all the way through the 80s. If I'm not mistaken, Ringo played on No more lonely nights, so I was wondering if anyone ever told him he's on a Wings album?

Also, I don't like the selections on the 2nd disc. Paul has recorded far better songs, so if the aim of this collection is to introduce one to Paul's Best, this ain't it. This collection could have been better by limiting it to Wings songs, and including either better "near hit" songs, or go the other way and release obscure songs for the Wings fans: B sides and rarities. Here ya go off the top of my head: From the first disc, eliminate Pipes of Peace, Coming up and No more Lonely Nights, since they aren't Wings songs. Instead, include Maybe I'm amazed, Venus & Mars/Rockshow, and Bluebird (from the 2nd disc). The second disc could then be something like:

1. Give Ireland Back to the Irish
2. The Mess
3. Mary had a little Lamb
4. Little woman Love
5. Helen Wheels
6. Country Dreamer
7. Sally G.
8. Letting Go
9. Beware my Love
10. London Town
11. I've had enough
12. Girlfriend
13. Girl's school
14. Getting closer
15. Spin it on
16. Old Siam sir
17. Arrow through me
18. Daytime nighttime suffering
19. Soily

Let's see if I still had room, I'd add a couple unreleased "cold cuts": Tragedy, Waterspout, etc. Anyway, I think this would be a much better collection, appeal to more of an audience, and be a more accurate representation of Wings. Or, better yet, Paul should just release a box set to cover all of this and more. Missed the mark for me.

Thanks for reading...

5 out of 5 stars Mulgrew Delivers.......2005-05-10

This is a fine album from one jazz's most consistently rewarding players. I saw Mulgrew MIller playing with Woody Shaw and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the early 80's. I said, this is one tall dude and he can really play (get it 'Wingspan'). I never bought any the albums where is he is leader until later. He is widely recorded as a sideman on so many good albums.

But on this album he delivers tunes that stay in your mind. The band is cooking; Steve Wilson(sax) and Steve Nelson(vibes) have recorded with Mulgrew quite a bit. Mulgrew is clearly the leader, but the band members get to shine. I compare this album to 'Hand in Hand' which has similar instrumentation, but has more of a 'Hard Bop' feel. This album has plenty of authority, but the compositions and playing have a lighter more graceful touch. Overall, another outstanding album.

5 out of 5 stars The best yet in a fine catalogue.......2002-10-13

I first encounterd Mulgrew Miller on his brilliant early recording, Countdown. It was when I was first getting into jazz, and it featured some of the late Joe Henderson's finest sax work. It also had, I believe, a young Renee Rosnes on piano. I don't remember the drummer, but I think it might have been Billy Drummond, Renee's husband. Countdown was one of the records that facilitated my complete conversion to acoustic jazz from jazz lite.

This new record, probably some 20 years hence from Countdown, only confirms Mulgrew Miller's early flowering of genius. Over the years, as jazz players often do, on account of the strange economics and aesthetics that control the jazz industry, Miller has struggled to find the proper musical context to optimally display his pianistic genius. Well, he's found it on The Sequel.

Ostensibly a reprise of or follow up to another early Miller recording, Wingspan, The Sequel retains only Steve Nelson, probably the foremost practioner of his instrument, on vibes from the earlier group. All the other players (Steve Wilson on alto and soprano sax, Duane Eubanks on trumpet, Richie Goods on bass, and Karriem Riggins on drums) are new. Of these Karriem Riggins makes the strongest impression, with a deep groove and swing, brilliant colorations, and sheer rhythmic dynamism casually eminating from every stroke he takes. Duane Eubanks, Kevin and Robin's younger brother, also impresses mightly, as does Richie Goods, rock-solid on acoustic bass. I've never been that impressed with Steve Wilson, but he plays his butt off here and comes through like a champ.

As for the headliner, with this record he seems to have vaulted himself to the very head of jazz pianists. He's more relaxed, more confident, more creative than I've ever heard him.

Of particular note are the strength and variety of the compositions, from the elegiac, Middle-Eastern flavored "Know Wonder," to the Brazilian-drenched, sadly uplifting "Samba D'Blue," to the post-bop swing of "Go East Young Man." In the interior of the smartly packaged disc, Miller says, "I strive to compose beautiful melodies and interpret them with a beat that dances." I'd say he's admirably accomplished that goal here.

It's been seven years since his last recording as a leader (although he's been on more than 200 recording dates in that time!), and it's been more than worth the wait. Highest recommendation.

5 out of 5 stars Mulgrew....You Did It Again.......2002-09-19

Since that fateful Carbondale, Illinois Autumn day in 1993, when I first heard Mulgrew Miller's "Hand in Hand" album, I have been in love with his music.

Mulgrew Miller is an accomplished composer, arranger, performer and bandleader. The "Sequel" album is only the latest offering that displays Miller's complex style. I saw Miller play along side of Benny Golson at the 2001 Chicago Jazz Festival and I can tell you he is a treat to listen to.

There is absolutely no filler on this album. Miller is yet to come out with an album that has filler.

Its all substance dude!!!

    While his fellow ex-bandmates busied themselves with various high-profile projects (John Lennon with Imagine and a series of high-profile media events; George Harrison with All Things Must Pass and The Concert for Bangla Desh), 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 itself is a distinct misnomer: fully 17 of the 40 tracks here hail from various pre- and post-Wings McCartney solo albums. Completely overlooked are unheralded B-sides such as "Oh Woman, Oh Why," "Little Woman Love," "Country Dreamer," "The Mess," "Walking in the Park with Eloise," "Sally G," and "Girl's School"--some of McCartney the bandleader and solo artist's scrappiest and most interesting work. 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. --Jerry McCulley

    5 out of 5 stars Yesterday and Tomorrow.......2007-02-20

    Initially, one is struck by the superb audio clarity of Paul McCartney's WINGSPAN compilation-- these tracks have never sounded better. After that, you're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of quality material presented here-- forty remarkable recordings. Finally, the 24-page booklet filled with color photos of McCartney and band are the perfect dessert after a sumptuous feast. A spectacular package.

    The album is divided into HITS and HISTORY. The first CD will be most appealing to those familiar only with Paul's singles, while the second disc will remind those who had his old albums of the incredible depth of this man's talents. Paul McCartney was nothing less than awesome-- a true superstar in every sense of the word, and this scrapbook of songs stands as testament to the fact.

    5 out of 5 stars Macca's hits, not always his best music.......2004-04-13

    Serious or even marginally serious McCartney fans will already have all these songs on various other albums and greatest hits packages. But it's convenient to have all of these songs on two CD's, especially if you're listening to the music in a car. It's impossible not to give such wonderful music 5 stars, but there are some serious omissions and problems with this collection.

    1. There are seven songs edited for brevity. A casual listener will never notice the changes, but to all of us who grew up in the 70's and memorized every downbeat and nuance, you will most definitely notice. It's very irritating to hear Junior's Farm butchered by more than two minutes and Venus and Mars cut to shreds. There are other glaring examples. As explained on the liner notes, these are the "single edits" released to DJ's of the era, but there's no excuse for these versions appearing on a quasi-offical collection, selected by Paul himself.

    The playlist contains all of Wings hits and even sneaks in some solo Paul work from the early 80's. Since they include Take it Away and Pipes of Peace, why do they neglect much superior songs from the same years, such as the beautiful Here Today, or Average Person? There are also some curious inclusions which should never have seen the light of the day on a greatest hits package: Bip Bop, Man We Was Lonely and Tomorrow should have been replaced with Sally G., Girls School, I'm Carrying and Nineteen Eighty Five.

    McCartney fans will always quibble about such things, but rest assured, you'll get your money's worth on this eclectic, fantastic collection. No one in the history of popular music could consistently write so many catchy tunes. If you're new to the solo years of McCartney, this is *the* disc to buy first.

    5 out of 5 stars Wingspan: Hits and history.......2004-03-15

    Okay, so the CD dosn't sound like tin! I own about 30-40 CDs and it has the best sound quality of them all! It is more fun having the actual CDs (Band on the run, McCartney), but this rolls all of the best songs together. It also includes a breif history of Wings, and has a picture album. On disk 2, (History) It has an awsome line up, 1)Let me roll it 2) Lovley Linda 3) Daytime nighttime suffering (Which has good sound quality too) 4) Maybe I'm amazed 5) Helen wheels. If you are thinking about buying it, take my word on it, BUY IT!

    2 out of 5 stars Horrible Remastering.......2003-08-07

    I love the music but the remastering has way way to much high end. Very much like tin. I a-b'd these with the remasterers from the UK and the Gold disc and this set is NOT GOOD. It's so strange that the CD was rematered by Geoff Emerick. Some are barely listenable and painful in headphones. At first I was wondering if I had a deffective one. Again, who could argue withe music but I can't listen to this one. I stick with the originals.

    5 out of 5 stars wingspantastic.......2001-07-29

    Paul has chosen well and picked out the ulitimate collection of his best work with Wings. I still love these songs they are crafted so well, some have instant appeal others take there sweet time. I'm so glad some of my favs on here like the brilliant 'Too Many People' and majestic 'Maybe I'm Amazed'. You won't hear a better vocal since 'Hey Jude' by McCartney when he belts out the bluesey number 'Call me back again' I cannot praise this CD set highly enough. You must all buy it. O and by the way he happens to be(along with John)an O.K. songwriter.O.K.

      5 out of 5 stars Yesterday and Tomorrow.......2007-02-20

      Initially, one is struck by the superb audio clarity of Paul McCartney's WINGSPAN compilation-- these tracks have never sounded better. After that, you're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of quality material presented here-- forty remarkable recordings. Finally, the 24-page booklet filled with color photos of McCartney and band are the perfect dessert after a sumptuous feast. A spectacular package.

      The album is divided into HITS and HISTORY. The first CD will be most appealing to those familiar only with Paul's singles, while the second disc will remind those who had his old albums of the incredible depth of this man's talents. Paul McCartney was nothing less than awesome-- a true superstar in every sense of the word, and this scrapbook of songs stands as testament to the fact.

      5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Collection and Good Sound Quality!.......2005-12-31

      This is the best Wings compilation that's out there and has been remastered very well for a good sound. There are even a few of Macca's solo tracks thrown in here for good measure. The product description is referring to some other version as this version on this link is the U.S. release version and unfortunately has the 'live' and not the much better studio version of "Coming Up" the track on which Macca plays every instrument and recorded at his home studio.

      All tracks here were selected by Macca himself as what he considers to be the band's best work. The packaging of the version that I have which I presume is the same that's being sold here is very good too as it comes in a sturdy booklet with a felt, cloth cover as well as colour pages and photos of the band throughout the years and also comes with a slipcase with a cool plastic cover that gives a 3-D effect when you look at it from different angles.

      It just shows that a lot of planning and time and effort has gone into this as well as personal attention from Macca himself - all the ingredients for an exceptional best of compilation. For the fan who wants all the best on one album with great sound quality and track selections, this is the one to get. Highly recommended.

      5 out of 5 stars The hits of Macca.......2004-04-13

      Serious or even marginally serious McCartney fans will already have all these songs on various other albums and greatest hits packages. But it's convenient to have all of these songs on two CD's, especially if you're listening to the music in a car. It's impossible not to give such wonderful music 5 stars, but there are some serious omissions and problems with this collection.

      1. There are seven songs edited for brevity. A casual listener will never notice the changes, but to all of us who grew up in the 70's and memorized every downbeat and nuance, you will most definitely notice. It's very irritating to hear Junior's Farm butchered by more than two minutes and Venus and Mars cut to shreds. There are other glaring examples. As explained on the liner notes, these are the "single edits" released to DJ's of the era, but there's no excuse for these versions appearing on a quasi-offical collection, selected by Paul himself.

      The playlist contains all of Wings hits and even sneaks in some solo Paul work from the early 80's. Since they include Take it Away and Pipes of Peace, why do they neglect much superior songs from the same years, such as the beautiful Here Today, or Average Person? There are also some curious inclusions which should never have seen the light of the day on a greatest hits package: Bip Bop, Man We Was Lonely and Tomorrow should have been replaced with Sally G., Girls School, I'm Carrying and Nineteen Eighty Five.

      McCartney fans will always quibble about such things, but rest assured, you'll get your money's worth on this eclectic, fantastic collection. No one in the history of popular music could consistently write so many catchy tunes. If you're new to the solo years of McCartney, this is *the* disc to buy first.

          4 out of 5 stars The best of William Campbell!.......2001-08-08

          As anyone in the know realizes, William Campbell is the name of the Paul lookalike who assumed McCartney's role when Paul was tragically killed in a car crash ("I buried Paul.") Evidently, this Campbell fellow has some musical talent as well, as this extensive collection proves.
