The Wings Over Europe tour has previously not seen much documentation, only one live song from the tour saw official release, “The Mess” was recorded at The Hague and released as a B-side to the 45 rpm single, “My Love” in 1973. A couple more were slated for the “Red Rose Speedway” double album, but when that album was downsized to just one LP, they fell by the wayside.
On this tour, McCartney focused on his new group and performed no Beatles songs at all. The only reminder from Beatles concerts was that “Long Tall Sally” was kept as a good song to close each concert with. Furthermore, a lot of the songs on the set list from this tour were new to the audience. Songs like “Best Friend”, “1882” and “Seaside Woman” were supposedly going to be released on the upcoming “Red Rose Speedway” album, but that never happened. Of course, “Seaside Woman” finally ended up as a single released under the pseudonym of Suzy And The Red Stripes in 1977, but the other songs haven’t been officially released until now.

Of course, several of the concerts on the 1972 tour has been bootlegged, courtesy of people bringing tape recorders to the gigs, but some of the professionally recorded songs also appeared on the illegal market. Most notably the late nineties bootleg CD “Got Any Toothpicks” had a few of those, and in 1991, Mistral Music released a professionally recorded CD of the July 10, 1973 Newcastle concert, taken from a second generation dub of an acetate record.
The limited edition boxed set is available to preorder from the official Paul McCartney store, priced at $399.98. As far as we can understand, this boxed set will not be available through physical stores, and only from Universal Music, who are also running the official Paul McCartney online stores. Expect official word today, as well as listings also in the European McCartney store.

I wonder if this will be available to the U.K. – seems it’s only available to USA at the moment
Please don't make this a US only thing! (would cost a fortune in taxes to get it shipped to UK)
It doesn’t even look like shipping from US to U.K. would be an option. It only allows for US addresses to be entered.
Wings Over EUROPE… to this day only available in the … US ?
There's soemthing weird about it. Am I missing something ??
A standalone CD of Wings Over Europe might even sell. 'Cos I can't spring the $400.
Here is the link for europe?

3 of 4 stores are sold out, now only available in USA store. does anyone know how many of these were msde
So live music that a lot of people have wanted for literally 45+ years. If you release music and hardly anyone is allowed to hear it does it exist in the woods? I could understand if this was part of a $100-$150 box set with Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway, but damn $400? This is a good example of driving people to piracy. What a crock.
Does anyone know if a second edition of this will be released? Desperate to buy it..
only 100 were made !!
