Venus and Mars [Only @ Best Buy] [CD]

Venus and Mars has always been one of my favorite Paul McCartney/Wings CDs. The remastering on this CD is awesome. It makes this this 1975 recording sound like it was recorded in 2014, it's that clean. I have owned this album on the original vinyl, then CD, then Gold Master Audio CD, and after listening to this I was amazed at the things that I was hearing that I had never heard before on the previous recordings. If you haven't listened to Venus and Mars in this remastered edition, you haven't truly heard Venus and Mars. The 14 Bonus tracks are also great. Many show the depth of McCartney's musical genus as they include country, jazz, ragtime, and some great hard driving rock. I understand why they weren't included in the original commercial album, but they are not throw away tracks, they are really good. Lastly, the 7" vinyl single, (what used to be called a 45) of "Letting Go" is a great collectable bonus. Not having a turntable anymore, I probably wont ever listen to it, but I have put it away as a great collectors item along with my other Beatles collectables. The 45 is free, but there is a $4.25 S&H fee, which to me is well worth it, as it comes nicely boxed and protected. Bottom line, if you are a McCartney/Wings fan, this CD is a must buy and worth every penny.

I remember when this came out in 75, sounds even better today ! thx Paul !

One by one Paul McCartney's albums are being remastered with loving care at Abbey Road Studios. With these re-releases the remastering is the entire reason to rebuy. They have done a good job of making these remasters worth the purchase.

some great songs here...you know the music...as for the exclusive 45 it is cool to have I just wish Best Buy did not make you have to order it and pay 4.99 for shipping and handling and then wasn't able to combine the order with the other McCartney 45...

While I was seeking McCartney's Ram album, Best Buy didn't have it, so I decided to get his Venus & Mars instead. It's also an enjoyable release & still sounds fresh today.

I'm a fan of the wings era Paul Mcartney. This takes me back to when I had a much less complicated life. Good music and lyrics you just do not find a lot of anymore.

One of Paul McCartney's finest albums is made all the better by the Best Buy exclusive of a free 45 you can mail away for with purchase of the album. Great deal!

I first purchased this album when it first was released, but the sound was never as good as this remastered version. It is a great listen.
