6524 - PAUL McCARTNEY - WINGS: THE STORY OF A BAND ON THE RUN

Tells the astonishing, almost improbable, story of Paul and his newly formed band from 1971 through its dissolution barely a decade later. Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, key players, and family members, 'Wings' poignantly recounts, now with a half-century's wisdom, the story of a man and musician navigating the aftermath of The Beatles' breakup, soon joined by his wife, Linda on keyboard and vocals; drummer Denny Seiwell; and guitarist Denny Laine, among many others. Organized around nine Wings albums, the narrative follows the adventurous band as they survive a robbery on the streets of Nigeria, appear unannounced at various university halls, tour in a sheared-off double decker bus with their children, all while producing some of the most enduring music of the decade. With 150 black-and-white and color photographs, many previously unseen, this is a landmark work of soaring originality. Hardcover, 528 pages (Mark Lapidos says, "I am loving this book. Entire book is quotes from Paul, Linda, Denny and others" ...plus loads of photos.)
