Wild Life Half-speed Mastering – Paul McCartney and Wings VINYL Limited Edition

Marking the 50th anniversary of the ‘Wild Life’, UMe announced a reissue of Wings’ debut LP as a limited edition half-speed mastered vinyl pressing. ‘Wild Life’ found Paul once again redefining his post-Beatles creative identity, this time beginning his tenure as a founding member of Wings. A rollicking left turn from its predecessors, ‘Wild Life’ was recorded in barely more than a week, with more than half of the songs captured in a single take. The end result would be eight songs running the gamut from joyous freewheeling jams to proto-chamber pop to spare introspective musings – all bristling with a raw, jagged energy akin to the grungiest of garage bands-whether on the careening blues-rock rave-up of opener ‘Mumbo,’ a reggae-tinged reimagining of Mickey & Sylvia’s ‘Love Is Strange,’ or the plaintive and heart wrenching ballad ‘Dear Friend’.
