Red rose speedway

"Reissue of the month" - "Red Rose Speedway, however, really benefits from this reissue. Maccaphiles will know he was on a hot writing streak at the time and originally planned a double-album. Released now in its intended state, it's a tougher, more substantial and muscially broad album. The newly road-hardened Wings pull off a collection that reflects their love of US music, McCartney again on sparkling, inventive melodic form. It's the missing link beween the homespun charms of Wild Life and the bombast to come, hinted at by the alternate takes of Live And Let Die".

"Red Rose Speadway fra start tænkt som en ny-lancering af gruppen [Wings]. Og en rehabilitering af Paul McCartney. Wings var et band, som skulle trække fokus væk fra hans person ... Her ved remasteringen i McCartneys genudgivelsesserie er selve hovedalbummet stadig en blandet og ujævn affære ... Men årene har været bedre ved Red Rose Speadway, og ekstra-albummet i denne 2-cd udgave forbedrer ligefrem indtrykket. Red Rose Speedway var nemlig oprindelig tænkt som et dobbelt-album: De ni udeladelser er alle med på bonus-albummet - inklusive numre af Denny Laine og Linda McCartney - og giver en meget bedre fornemmelse af gruppens spændvidde og formåen".
