Paul McCartney just turned some prior reissues into iPad apps, and now the Beatles legend has announced that he's continuing his Archive Collection series with a couple more reissues from his band Wings. Venus and Mars and Wings at the Speed of Sound will be out on September 23.
Both albums will consist of two discs: the original album on the first disc, and demos and unreleased cuts on the second. Separate three-disc deluxe editions will add a bonus DVD (with footage from the era), photographs, interviews with McCartney and track-by-track details.
In addition to these CD pressings, there will be gatefold vinyl releases and digital versions.
Venus and Mars came out in 1975 and included the hit "Listen to What the Man Said," along with less successful singles "Letting Go" and "Venus and Mars/Rock Show." Wings at the Speed of Sound followed in 1976 with the hits "Let 'Em In" and "Silly Love Songs."
These albums were remastered at Abbey Road under McCartney's supervision. Check out the tracklists below. Scroll past that to watch video trailers for both albums.
