Paul McCartney's Rock Show, Wings Over America set for re-release

I have a soft spot for the triple-vinyl Wings Over America LP, which captured Paul McCartney and his post-Beatles band at the high point of their fame in 1976.

Paul and group were in fine form, offering spirited renditions of Wings hits of the day and Beatles favorites, along with a couple oddities. It was a regular fixture on my turntable as a kid.

That same American tour was captured on film, too, as "Rock Show," featuring live footage from Wings' performance in Seattle's King Dome.

Now both album and film are set for re-release -- but not together.

Wings Over America will be out June 4 in several packages as the latest release in Capitol's McCartney remasters campaign. Official details haven't been released, but several sources say the album will be available in these configurations:

• 2-CD "standard" edition.
• 3-CD and 1-DVD deluxe edition.
• 3-LP vinyl edition.

"Rock Show" reportedly won't be bundled in the deluxe edition. Instead, buyers will get the 75-minute documentary "Wings Over the World," along with a book about the tour, a separate photo book with images by Linda McCartney and an 80-page book of paintings of the tour by artist Humphrey Ocean. The third CD is an eight-song selection from a show recorded at San Francisco's Cow Palace.

"Rockshow," meanwhile, is set for release June 10 on DVD and Blu-ray.
