Wings is an upcoming box set by English–American rock band Wings, scheduled for release on 7 November 2025 by Capitol Records and UME.[1][2]
Content
[edit]The boxed set will contain hits selected by Paul McCartney himself with artwork by Hipgnosis and Humphrey Ocean.[3] The standard mixes used will be remasters from the 2010s.[3] All tracks in the set will be in Dolby Atmos, which mark a first time for most tracks in the box set.[4] A thirty-two page booklet that includes interviews, rare photos and information about the band will be included.[5][6]
Release and formats
[edit]The boxed set will be released on 7 November 2025 by Capitol Records and UME in 3LP, 2LP, 2CD and single CD formats, including an expanded 32-page booklet featuring photographs, artwork, paintings, trivia, and information about the band. The artwork for Wings was overseen alongside Paul by Aubrey 'Po' Powell of Hipgnosis – the design studio that worked with Paul for seven Wings albums, including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Wings Over America, and Wings Greatest. The expanded booklet includes extensive album-by-album notes on the artwork written by Po, with additional editorial by Pete Paphides, and features original artwork by Humphrey Ocean – who first worked with Wings on some of the artwork for Wings At the Speed of Sound before being invited by Paul and Linda on tour in 1976 as their artist in residence – rendering behind-the-scenes sketches of the band. It will be available in 5.1, Dolby Atmos and standard stereo.[7]
The Blu-ray version of Wings is the first time Wings songs are available on a physical format in Dolby Atmos.
