Found this on another list and thought I would pass it on to all the Beatle/McCartney freaks. Best Paz NP-Rock and Roll Fantasy-Bad Company The newsletter of SEE Hollywood and Vine http://hollywoodandvine.com ---------------------------------------------------- >From The Paul McCartney Press Office PAUL McCARTNEY'S WINGS TO FLY AGAIN TV Film & Double CD For May 2001 PAUL McCARTNEY'S Wings are to fly again. The TV story of the band and a double CD of Wings hits will be released worldwide in May. The Beatles Anthology-style project, which has been three years in the making, will be launched under the banner Wingspan. The two-hour film will reveal the inside story of Wings for the first time on television. Led by extensive and candid interviews with Paul McCartney, Wingspan reveals how, whilst trying to raise a young family and follow The Beatles, Paul and Linda formed a back-to-basics band that rose to become one of the biggest rock groups of The Seventies. Featuring never-before-seen home movie footage of Paul and Linda and their family, together with previously-private band archive and rare concert film, Wingspan will tell how Paul McCartney, devastated by the break-up of The Beatles, restarted his career from scratch - with him, Linda, their children, pet dogs and the band all driving around Britain in a van asking for work. Instead of arriving at stadium concerts in police-escorted limousines, Wings drove themselves to small halls unannounced and uninvited, and were paid for their impromptu shows in 50p pieces. Besides following Paul and Linda's private family life from 1970-1980, Wingspan reveals how - despite the headaches and handicaps of Beatles law suits, police pot busts and BBC airplay band - Wings soared to success with hit singles, No.1 albums and eventually even a bigger stadium show than that of The Beatles. Wingspan will be premiered primetime on American TV in early May and then broadcast around the world. Alongside the TV film, EMI/Capitol Records will release a double CD featuring 40 Wings songs, which will be supported by the re-issue of videos and promo films and a worldwide media, internet and advertising campaign. Said Paul McCartney: "I always thought that you couldn't follow The Beatles; Wingspan is the story and the soundtrack of how we set out to do it". http://hollywoodandvine.com/paulmccartney RELIVE BEATLES HISTORY Step into the studio, read the first hand accounts, and hear the music like you've never heard it before. http://hollywoodandvine.com/beatles
