Paul McCartney's 'WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run' Out in Paperback Oct. 6


From the news release:

The internationally bestselling oral history returns in paperback with a candid new conversation between Paul McCartney and Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville.

This remarkable cast tells the story of a band who made history – selling over 22 million albums and becoming the first band to achieve sales of over two million in the UK singles charts with Mull of Kintyre. A band who pushed the boundaries in both the studio and in live performances, from their first university tour through to pioneering large scale concerts, long before stadiums and arenas were commonly used for rock shows. 

The book includes a foreword written by Paul McCartney and is compiled from over 42 hours of recent and historical interviews from Paul's personal archive. WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run features over 150 photographs capturing Wings throughout the years – many previously unseen – and shot by an array of photographers including Linda McCartney, Mike McCartney, Clive Arrowsmith, Henry Diltz, Robert Ellis and Paul himself. The book also includes memorabilia, including some of Paul’s diary page entries from the time and handwritten lyrics.

The new paperback includes a candid conversation between Paul and director Morgan Neville, recorded around the launch of Neville's highly acclaimed documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, released earlier this year. Together they reflect on Paul's creative reinvention after The Beatles and the enduring legacy of Wings.
