''Wingspan: Hits and History'' is a greatest hits compilation album by Paul McCartney featuring material spanning his first solo album ''McCartney'' in 1970 to the 1984 ''Give My Regards To Broad Street'' movie soundtrack. This set is officially credited to Paul McCartney, although the bulk of the music included was performed by his former band Wings. American and British editions of the album vary slightly, as the UK edition contains the studio version of "Coming Up" while the US edition contains "Coming Up (Live at Glasgow)", which had reached number 1 on the ''Billboard'' singles chart. The Japanese version of the album also includes "Eat at Home", which had been issued as a 1971 single in the non-English-speaking world, as a bonus cut on the "Hits" disc. ==History== McCartney was involved in fifteen albums during this period: five solo albums; one album with his wife Linda; and nine albums with Wings (including a greatest hits compilation). ''Wingspan'' features songs from each of those albums, as well as a few singles that had not been included on ''Wings Greatest''. Wings were active from 1971 to 1980, but this set also includes material from McCartney's albums from earlier (1970–71) and later (1980–84) years. However, it does not include any of McCartney's well-known collaborations with Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson, which took place during the latter period; a notable absence is one of McCartney's biggest hits, "Say, Say, Say", most likely due to his falling out with Jackson in 1985. Nor does it include other major hits "We All Stand Together" and "Ebony and Ivory". The album also eschews any singles from the albums ''Press to Play'' (1986) or ''Flowers In The Dirt'' (1989), in addition to any 1990s or 2000s material. ''Wingspan'' is separated into two distinct sets: the "Hits" disc features commercially successful material, while "History" showcases lesser-known songs from the same period. On the US release, fourteen of the eighteen songs on "Hits" were performed by Wings, but only nine of the twenty-two songs on "History" are by Wings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wingspan: Hits and History」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
