Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint Condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

A triple-album live set from Macca, that is a reminder of the excitement that McCartney could summon in the lingering afterglow of the Beatles. A triple-album live set from Macca, that re-created an entire concert from various venues. It has a massive set list, running over two hours and featuring 30 songs, and was well received at the time -- it was the first chance that millions of Beatles fans had to hear McCartney in concert properly. The album offers terrific renditions of "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Band on the Run," as well as nicely distilling the harder side of his repertory, with a few breaks for softer songs such as "My Love" and "Silly Love Songs", an acoustic Beatles set and the storming "Hi Hi Hi". Another highlight is the rippling bass sound, showing off that instrument in a manner closer in spirit to, say, a John Entwistle solo LP than to McCartney's more pop-focused studio work. The triple LP ended up selling in numbers, rivalling the likes of 'Frampton Comes Alive' and other mega-hits of the period, and rode the charts for months. 'Wings Over America' is most valuable as a souvenir for fans and also as a reminder of the excitement that attended McCartney and Wings' work in the lingering afterglow of the Beatles.
