Commemorate the 50th anniversary of Wings' fourth studio album Venus and Mars with a half-speed master edition for 2025!

One of the world's most beloved rock outfits, Wings came to define the era of 1970s arena rock, while dominating the airwaves with no fewer than 14 U.S. Top 10 hits and 12 Top 10 hits in the U.K. Following their 1973 masterpiece Band on the Run, Venus and Mars would represent another peak of Wings' creative and commercial heyday. The band's fourth studio album, it was released on May 27, 1975 ahead of the legendary Wings Over the World tour. Preceded by the U.S. Number One single "Listen To What The Man Said" and featuring "Letting Go," a fan favorite in Paul's live set to this day, Venus and Mars hit No. 1 on the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic and went on to sell more than 4 million copies worldwide.

This special 50th anniversary vinyl edition was cut at half speed using a high-resolution transfer of the original master tapes from 1975 by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The album is presented as a meticulous reproduction of the original U.K. pressing, with recreations of the original "Venus and Mars are alright tonight" circular sticker and "comparative sizes of sun and planets" bookmark sticker, and comes with two posters with photography by Aubrey Powell and Sylvia de Swaan. The iconic album artwork by Hipgnosis has been meticulously recreated and presented in a gatefold sleeve.
