Wings was the highly successful British-American rock band formed by Paul McCartney, his wife Linda, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine in 1971, following the breakup of The Beatles. Despite frequent lineup changes—with the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remaining throughout—the band became a dominant force in 1970s rock, releasing a string of chart-topping albums like Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, and Wings at the Speed of Sound. The group allowed Paul McCartney to return to a traditional band structure and proved that he could still achieve massive commercial success independently of his former bandmates.
Wings Over America is the celebrated triple live album released in 1976 that documented the band's massive and triumphant North American tour earlier that year. The tour itself was a major cultural event, marking Paul McCartney's first live performances in the US and Canada since The Beatles' final tour in 1966, a ten-year hiatus. The album showcases Wings' biggest hits and, significantly, marked the first time McCartney performed Beatles songs in concert as a solo artist, including classics like "Yesterday" and "The Long and Winding Road," cementing the tour's legendary status.
Stanley “Mouse” Miller and Alton Kelley, iconic figures of 1960s psychedelic art. Together, they became famous for creating vibrant, surreal concert posters and album covers for bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Their work combined Art Nouveau influences with bold colors, intricate lettering, and countercultural symbolism, helping define the visual identity of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury scene. Mouse and Kelley’s art became a hallmark of the psychedelic rock era, blending music, rebellion, and visual experimentation into a lasting cultural legacy.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
