  • Wings over America is the sixth album issued by Wings and their only live album. In its initial 1976 release, it was a triple album due to its length, but it was reissued as a double-CD in 1984 on Columbia/CBS Records, which is currently out of print. The Columbia version is known as the "Holy Grail" of compact discs due to its scarcity. On April 14th, 2008, it was released on iTunes. Compiled from all recorded shows of the band's Wings Over America Tour that spring, Wings over America was another success for McCartney and Wings, reaching #1 in the US in early 1977 and #8 in the UK, and selling several million copies. Originally, Wings over America was to be a 2 record set but due to the enormous success of a bootleg called "Wings From The Wings" which was released on bi-centennial red white and blue triple vinyl, this caused McCartney to redo the official release as a 3 record set covering the entire concert including Denny Laine's "Go Now," a song from his time as a member of The Moody Blues. This song was only performed June 21, 22 and 23, 1976 at the Los Angeles Forum. (en)
  • Wings Over America es el sexto álbum de Wings y el único álbum en directo del grupo. En su inicial edición de 1976, el disco contenía, debido a su duración, tres LPs; sin embargo, en la reedición en formato CD del año 1987 fue reducido a dos discos. Posteriormente, en 1999, se volvería a establecer el orden inicial de las canciones incluyéndolas en tres discos compactos, en una edición exclusiva de EMI/Toshiba para Japón.El álbum recoge canciones interpretadas por el grupo durante la gira Wings Over America Tour en distintas ciudades. Al igual que haría posteriormente en el álbum de 2003 Back in the World, McCartney decidió invertir el orden de los créditos de las cinco canciones de The Beatles incluídas en el álbum. Así, en vez del orden tradicional, "Lennon/McCartney", las canciones de The Beatles fueron publicadas como compuestas por "McCartney/Lennon". Así mismo, la mayoría de las primeras canciones compuestas tras la separación de la banda, atribuidas a Paul y Linda McCartney, figuran en el álbum como compuestas por Paul. Wings Over America supuso un nuevo éxito de ventas para McCartney y Wings, alcanzando el puesto #1 en Estados Unidos a comienzos del año 1977 y el puesto #8 en el Reino Unido, vendiendo varios millones de copias. Además del disco, la gira fue filmada y publicada en 1981 bajo el título Rockshow. Mientras la mayoría de los discos de McCartney, tanto en solitario como con Wings, han sido publicados en formato digital en servicios como iTunes o Rhapsody, el álbum Wings Over America ha sido excluido.
