I think RRS is sublime but this would be really amazing. Can't wait for the remaster. Paul was just so prolific around this time.

It's like the opposite of the WHITE ALBUM where George Martin thought it would have been stronger as a single album. I think a double album RRS would have been a very good thing for Wings.

Favourite Wings album, could easily have been a double album. Add Hi Hi Hi & C Moon too!
-
I seem to remember a lot more "live" material on a RRS double album. Wasn't it originally going to be one lp of studio and the other lp cuts from the '72 tour? Either way a double lp would have been great!

I agree. Sometimes just adding material doesn't make an album better, but there are some very good tracks left off that are every bit as good if not better than many of the tracks chosen. A double Red Rose Speedway would have been better in my opinion.

According to wikipedia the original double LP looked like this. Side one "Big Barn Bed" "My Love" "When The Night" "Single Pigeon" Side two "Tragedy" "Mama's Little Girl" "Loup (1st Indian On The Moon)" "I Would Only Smile" Side three "Country Dreamer" "Night Out" "One More Kiss" "Jazz Street" Side four "I Lie Around" "Little Lamb Dragonfly" "Get On The Right Thing" "1882" (live) "The Mess I'm In" (live)

It?s hard to know if that list is an actual sequencing or a compilation of new tracks. The segue of ?Big Barn Bed? into ?My Love? appears to have been planned early on. ?Jazz Street? and ?1882″ were apparently abandoned for good after this acetate was compiled. The other unreleased tracks were included in another double album acetate as well as nearly released on Cold Cuts. ?1882″ is a fine track written prior to Ram, and performed live throughout 1972. ?Jazz Street? is an instrumental that resembles the Venus And Mars outtake and eventual B-Side, ?Lunch Box/Odd Sox?. The track is over eight minutes long, but stays interesting. With some editing, it could have been a fine b-side, or could have easily replaced ?Loup?. Despite it?s title, there isn?t a hint of jazz on the track. An additional acetate of a previously unknown version of the double album was revealed in Bruce Spizer?s The Solo Beatles On Apple Records. Several new tracks were added since December 1972. It?s certainly a stronger collection, even though ?1882″ was more worthy than ?Loup?. ...This is per a McCartney Blog...I'm sure it was changed a few times...lots of songs around that time...

Yea I'd imagine the track order had a few different incarnations.
-
very interesting..

I have a nice bootleg called The Alternate Red Rose Speedway vol 1. It contains the rough mixes and the unreleased tracks that you are talking about. I like Night Out and Tragedy-very good tracks
It's getting better all the time

That's what I remember hearing ages ago as well, one studio album with the other being live. In fact, some of the photos in the vinyl gatefold are from live shows so they may have kept some of the design. Seems the reason for it just being one album was that EMI objected to the double album, said no as the sales of Wild Life weren't what they were hoping for.

At the time it was revealed that Paul's new business manager,Vincent Romeo, had persuaded Paul to cut the album down to a single disc.

Thanks for the clarification. Wish he hadn't been talked out of the double album!
