The Eggman67:
Fortunatly I could cancel the order just in time; delivery next wednesday, for a normal, reasonable price...
Good news then! They are both beautiful!

Amazon Canada told me November 17 for the "New" deluxe CD and it came today, on the 7th. They've also told me that V&M and SOS are coming November 21, so I'm hoping for deliverance sooner!

I've heard V&M reedition. I think is great, with a better sound than the original record. Specially Rock Show... A wonderful version of Let's Love, great work on Soily... definitely, V&M looks more attractive now!!
-
Can't afford both, most likely I'll get Wings at The Speed of Sound..

I've only listened to the remastered V&M once, but I agree. I think the sound is probably as good as it can get, though the backing vocals still sound a little muddy in places to my ears. I like Let's Love a lot -- never much cared for the Peggy Lee version, so I wish Paul had made a proper record of it.

I heard SOS reedition too and is not brilliant. It has interesting things, like Beware My Love with Bonham in drums, an "emotive" version of Silly Love Songs and Paul's version of Must Do Something About it, but nothing compares with V&M reedition... is the best reedition I've ever heard.

Let's Love sounds like a demo, in the middle of way of become in an "official" track, but it sound beautiful. Paul and his voice makes wonderful any balad.

For sure. I just wish he'd done a completed recording of it then, with his '70s voice. Sigh...

WingsOfMacca:
"Rock Show" shows his real potential in WOA, the same for "Magneto and titanium man", "Letting Go"... Venus & Mars has seven or eight great songs but when I listen WOA I can't avoid the idea of why did Paul made V&M so... soft (referring about the sound, not the quality)
I completely agree about this. I've always felt that the transition into Rock Show from the Venus and Mars intro should have been so much harder. The guitars sound weak and muddy going into the song. As a result, I prefer the just released Old Version, and certainly the WOA version.
-
I have always considered the title of SOS to be "Wings at the Speed of Sound", but in the new deluxe version it is called "At the Speed of Sound" throughout the book. I guess its the latter or somebody made a big mistake in the production of the book. Thoughts?

I agree. Besides, Paul's voice sounds behind the instrumentation and I really can't understand why. In WOA his voice rules the whole song, and that's the reason of why I love the live version. The main "problem" is in the drums. It sounds a little "saturated".

I guess it was Paul's intention, and I don't like it at all. As I said before, I think SOS was a mistake (Paul gave a lot of space to his band, and the result is a lot of not-great songs), but is a Wings album and it deserves to be called as 'Wings At...', IMO.

I never liked Paul's production of 'Venus and Mars'. Overly dense and muddled. I wonder what difference Paul' s albums in the 70s (except for Back to the Egg) would have sounded like if he had a different producer.

Back To The Egg has the best sound production of any Wings's album. BOTR has a "primitive" production but it sounds great, is the sound the album needed. V&M... agree with you. ATSOS... good sound but too pop. LT has a good keyboards work but drums doesn't exist, extremely soft. Definitely, the sound in Wings was the only thing it wasn't perfect. Ideal sound for Wings = Little River Band's sound, IMO.

I really love 'Silly Love Songs' demo

Just listening to the new remasters for the very first time. So far, I'm blown away by the new and improved sound - it's like hearing the songs for the first time. I'm also very impressed by the V & M bonus disc.

Yeah, Venus and Mars sounds incredible. I knew it would. I bought the deluxe edition. The album seems brand new all over again.

Did you get the book version? They are so cool. And interesting. And both sets sound very good!
