{"product_id":"venus-mars-vinyl-lp","title":"Venus \u0026 Mars - Vinyl LP 180 Gram","description":"Limited 180gm vinyl LP repressing. Venus and Mars is the fourth studio album by Wings. Released in 1975 as the follow-up to the successful Band on the Run, Venus and Mars continued Wings' string of success and would prove a springboard for a year-long worldwide tour. It was Paul McCartney's first post-Beatles album to be released worldwide on the Capitol Records label. After recording Band on the Run (1973) as a three-piece with wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney added Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar and Joe English on drums to the Wings line-up. Album sessions proved to be productive, not only finishing the entire album, but also several additional songs, including future McCartney B-sides. McCartney also decided to link the songs together much like the Beatles had on Abbey Road to give the album a more continuous feel. Wings' interpretation of the theme to Crossroads, a British soap opera, was sometimes used to end the show in place of the regular theme tune, usually when there was a cliffhanger ending with a hint of sadness involved.","brand":"Paul McCartney \u0026 Wings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50505107145015,"sku":"602557567632","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/2860\/9079\/files\/3737362_55dc638d-309e-41ba-98bd-377ab09dc6e6.jpg?v=1748602793","url":"https:\/\/www.worldwidestereo.com\/products\/venus-mars-vinyl-lp","provider":"World Wide Stereo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
