"Venus and Mars," released under the name Wings in 1975, is acclaimed as a masterpiece showcasing Paul McCartney's true talent. Following the smash success of their previous album, "Band on the Run," this album symbolizes Wings' heyday, as the band began full-scale operations with a new lineup and preparations for their first major US tour since the Beatles' breakup. Recorded primarily in New Orleans and Los Angeles, the lead single "I'm Not That Into You" reached number one in the US. "Wine-Colored Girl (Letting Go)" and "Rock Show" were also released as singles. Marking the 50th anniversary of the album's release, this Anniversary Collector's Edition features a newly compiled collection of album-related audio and video, including rare, previously unreleased recordings. CD 1 features a rough mix album from March 1975, before the album was completed, as well as earlier outtakes, all in the latest upgraded audio. While similar session recordings have been released in the past, this release offers the highest quality yet. Some tracks are recorded from longer original tracks than previously available, and the difference is clear when compared. These fascinating recordings capture the precious recording sessions. CD 2 features a stereo conversion of the now-discontinued DTS surround CD, previously released in limited quantities in 1996 and 2001. While previously known for its different mixes, this release has been remastered in a new stereo edition. The second half of the set features a collection of must-see demos and session recordings. The DVD includes video footage and an audio section, with a video collection featuring album-related promotional and live performance footage. This 2025 high-definition remaster delivers the best quality possible, clearly distinguishing it from previously available versions. This must-see video is a must-see. The audio DVD section features the latest Atmos multi-channel and DTS surround sound, each in Dolby Stereo and 5.1 surround sound. While both Atmos and DTS multi-channel sound sources require specialized equipment and present a high playback environment hurdle, this DVD video playback allows you to easily compare the sound differences. Introducing the new 2-CD & 3-DVD Special Collector's Edition from the GOLDIES label, a must-have commemorative 50th anniversary edition of the album "Venus and Mars"!
