Red Rose Speedway (Original Double Album)
Red Rose Speedway Double Album is the originally conceived version of the album, though it was ultimately stripped back to a single vinyl. For this limited release it has been reconstructed based on original acetates and master tapes from the period. It is now available for the first time on LP.
This edition is pressed onto 180gram ouble vinyl and comes housed in a single outer sleeve with a 12-page 10 booklet plus a 320kbps MP3 download redemption card.
Red Rose Speedway is the second studio album by Paul McCartney and Wings. The album was released in 1973. Red Rose Speedway reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States and My Love was a No. 1 single in the US and the most popular track from the album.
In early 1972, McCartney decided to expand Wings to a five-piece band, by adding another guitarist, and to begin touring with the group. The group spent several months on the road across Europe, beginning with a tour of British universities. Recording for Red Rose Speedway began in March 1972. It was initially planned as a double album, and McCartney decided to include some unreleased songs that had originally been recorded during the Ram sessions prior to the formation of Wings. Two of those songs, Get on the Right Thing and Little Lamb Dragonfly, appeared on the final album.
