Should WINGS be nominated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? There's a debate amongst Beatles/Paul McCartney fans whether Wings is covered by Paul's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a "solo artist." Does Wings qualify as a band and are they worthy with a string of number one hits during the '70s? Should its band members be recognized for their contributions?
If you think Wings deserves to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

MPL and the Concord Music Group are pleased to announce the re-release of Paul McCartney & Wings' iconic Band on the Run. Heralded as one of the greatest albums of all time, the GRAMMY winning, smash # 1 album - originally released December of 1973 - yielded the immortal title track and world-wide hit "Jet" becoming Wings' most successful and celebrated album ever.
Paul McCartney personally supervised
all aspects of the Band on the Run reissue. The remastering
work was done at Abbey Road using the same team who recently remastered
the complete Beatles' catalog.
Band on the Run is available in a variety of formats originating
with the single disc digitally remastered, essential 9-track
standard edition. The 3 disc (2CD, 1 DVD) special edition features
nine bonus audio tracks (including the top 10 smash "Helen
Wheels"), rare footage of the McCartneys in Lagos and behind-the-scenes
at the famous album cover shoot, original Band on the Run
promotional video clips, the One Hand Clapping television
special (highlighted by studio performances filmed at Abbey Road
in 1974) all with beautifully enhanced packaging. Collectors will
be especially thrilled by the 4 disc (3CD, 1 DVD) deluxe edition
which adds an extraordinary 120-page hard bound book containing
many unseen and unpublished photos by Linda McCartney and Clive
Arrowsmith, album and single artwork, downloadable hi-res audio
versions of the remastered album and bonus audio tracks, a full
history of the album complete with a new interview with Paul and
expanded track by track information for all four discs. The deluxe
edition also includes a special Band on the Run audio documentary
(originally produced for the 25th Anniversary edition.) The original
remastered album and bonus audio content will also be issued in
a 2 disc 180gm audiophile vinyl edition that comes with an MP3
download of all 18 tracks. Lastly, the standard and deluxe versions
of Band on the Run will be available digitally worldwide.
The musical achievement of Band on the Run is nearly matched by the amazing story behind its creation. Intrigued with recording abroad in the summer of 1973, McCartney searched for a list of studios around the world. Spotting one in the remote location of Lagos, Nigeria, he became enthralled with the idea of recording in Africa. Days before departure, lead guitarist Henry McCullough and drummer Denny Seiwell quit the band leaving the entire project to the three core members, Paul, his wife Linda McCartney and band-member Denny Laine (along with recording engineer Geoff Emerick). Recorded in August and September of 1973 (with further work done at AIR Studios in London in October 1973), they persevered through a tumultuous, yet creatively invigorating 2 month recording process battling difficult studio conditions, oppressive heat and a dangerous mugging at knife point. The thieves made off with the demo tapes (among other valuables), forcing the band to record the entire album from memory.
Band
on the Run triumphed both critically and commercially. The
album topped the US album chart 3 separate times, won a Grammy
and went on to sell more than 7 million copies. Upon the release
of Band on the Run, then Rolling Stone reviewer
Jon Landau famously gushed, "The finest record yet released
by any of the four musicians who were once called The Beatles."
Paul is currently playing five songs from the album on his tour. Live favorites over the last 8 years of touring have included "Jet", "Band on the Run" and "Let Me Roll It". In 2008 when Paul played a free outdoor show to over 500,000 people in Kiev, a Ukrainian poll listed "Mrs Vandebilt" as their all time favorite Paul McCartney song. It's been included in the set ever since. At the start of this tour Paul added "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five" to the set.
Band on the Run marks the first release from the Paul
McCartney Archive Collection, an ambitious reissue program
that encompasses 40 years of cherished, classic material from
the most successful songwriter and recording artist in music history.
It's also the initial physical release of the recently announced
agreement between McCartney's MPL and Concord Music Group to globally
market and distribute McCartney's venerated solo and Wings catalog.

A couple that works out together, stays together... Paul McCartney
and Nancy Shevell spotted as they head to the gym
Still in the honeymoon stage Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell have proved inseparable since they exchanged nuptials last October.
The couple were spotted in London earlier today as they headed to their gym in Lord's Cricket Ground which is located in St. John's Wood close to McCartney's home.
Nancy and Paul looked like the perfect gymming couple in their colour coordinated sportswear.
Showing off her trim figure, Nancy donned a pair of cropped jeggings with a pale blue printed T-shirt, a navy blue jacket, and black running trainers.
The 51-year-old wore her brunette locks down and appeared to be makeup free.
Enjoying the weather in the capital, she hid her eyes behind a pair of blacked out sunglasses and held her phone in her hand.
Keen to be in the best shape as he readies what is set to be an epic performance at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert in next month, Macca was in high spirits as he made his way to the fitness centre.
The Beatles singer who had a spring in his step could've passed for a man half his age in his causal get-up.
McCartney, 69, wore black tracksuit bottoms with a white T-shirt and a blue hoodie, he also covered up his eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
Earlier this week Sir Paul and Nancy attended a Diamond Jubilee celebration for the Queen at the Royal Academy of Arts in central London.
The couple meet the Queen as she toured the galleries of the Academy and during the merriment he declared that he was a 'huge fan' of her.
Happy to be
in the presence of Her Majesty, the iconic performer said, 'It
is always wonderful meeting her, she's great. It is always a great
pleasure meeting her, I'm a big fan.'

McCartney film to screen before "The Intouchables"
The Weinstein
Company has locked in Paul
McCartney,
Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp to build the buzz around its upcoming
"The
Intouchables."
McCartney's
directorial debut, "My Valentine," will screen before
every showing
of the French box office smash during its theatrical run. It hits
theaters May 25.
McCartney's black-and-white short, set to his song of the same
name, stars Portman and Depp translating the lyrics of the song
using sign language. Each offers a distinct interpretation, and
Depp also plays a guitar solo.
"What an honor it is to have Paul's short film directorial debut on the head of "The Intouchables' showings. Paul and Stella are great old friends," Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company, said in a statement.
The idea initially came from McCartney's daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, who dressed Portman for the short. The film, produced by Susanne Priessler, premiered at Stella McCartney's Los Angeles boutique. Academy Award winner Wally Pfister was the cinematographer.
"The Intouchables"
is a French comedy starring Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy that set
box office records across Europe.
