    I've heard Paul's 1976 album described both as Wings At The Speed of Sound and At The Speed of Sound by the band Wings.

    Which is the correct title? Paul's website uses the latter so that's one thing, but most other websites use the former.

    I generally refer to it as Wings at the Sound of Shi _e.

    Worst ex-Beatle album released by any Beatle up to 1976. (Ringo challenges it thereafter.)

    [Edit:] Nah, seriously. I'd go for Wings At The Speed Of Sound, the way it stands on the front cover.

    Somewhere on the long Speed of Sound Archive thread, there's some good debate about this.

    Wild Life is a better album than people give it credit for. It's not one of his best but it has a certain charm to me.

    Which is how Paul refers to it on WINGS OVER AMERICA -- he calls it "Speed of Sound".

    That's correct.

    While Some Time in New York City is another sticky turd, it's at least vital and interesting rather than commercial elevator music.

    I think it's both. Meant so it can be read either way. Same with Wings Over America.


    Great album imo, one of his best.
