    For years, I'd heard of original plans for this record to be a double album, only to be cut in half due to record company demands. Paul's first two solo albums were ahead of their time and were trashed by critics and didn't sell very well initially. After a successful college tour, he formed Wings and released the abominable WILD LIFE album. Based on VERY poor reception, Capitol / EMI decided that nobody wants to buy a double album by Paul McCartney & Wings, and they probably thought nobody wanted anything to do with Paul McCartney & Wings over all. They were wrong. They should have trusted them. So, Paul cut out half the tracks, but his mistake was cutting out the better tracks that make Red Rose Speedway a more substantial album. Now, this is sequenced differently than the CD packaging and there is some question as to whether or not this is the original sequencing, but...who cares what the idiots say...those eschewed songs are finally available in one package, without having to search all the cold cuts and 45 RPM b-sides, and on and on. Red Rose Speedway, in its initial release, was a warm, fuzzy, if pretty uneven and unfinished album, with such good songs notwithstanding. It always seemed like half an album to me, and for good reason. Half of it was missing for 250 years. Now, we get it all back, and the cut tracks are even better than the ones which were left in. I recommend getting the 2-CD set as well as this LP.

    It turns out Paul had planned to release Red Rose Speedway as a double album, but the disappointing sales of Wild Life frightened the record label into scaling RRS back. That's too bad, because as this 2018 release shows, Red Rose Speedway worked well as a double album. This revised song order really works, an improvement on the original for sure. Are some of the songs goofy? Yes, and I probably could have lived without "Loup" and "Seaside Woman," but they aren't bad enough to detract from the album as a whole.

    The better songs are very strong. Side 1 is all killer, no filler: "Night Out," "Get on the Right Thing," "Country Dreamer," "Big Barn Bed," and "My Love." Wow. The tracks move from mood to mood very nicely, with an appealing variety in style. The rest of the album never quite matches that first side, but that would be just about impossible to maintain.

    The vinyl pressing sounds fantastic, with a nice, balanced tone. The original mix has always sounded a little bit muddy to me. I'll keep my 1973 pressing for nostalgia's sake, but this 2018 edition is the one that will get played.

    Amazing Remix/Remaster project by McCartney & Wings. This is Paul McCartney in his early stages of post-Beatles music. He included his wife, Linda, because he wanted her in the band. She has been criticized a lot, but she sounds pretty good. The songs are pretty cool, and good listening, some great tunes and some not so great. But if you like McCartney, I think you'll like this remaster. Some excellent guitar work on this album. Enjoy the music, worth the purchase.

    I don't know if this is what Paul actually had in mind at the time, but to me this is now the way to listen to the album. All the songs go well one after the other and now ending with Little Lamb Dragonfly is an excelent choice.

    Sadly in this release the records come in the same pocket instead of having a gatefold sleeve.
    Why not just release a gatefold? Having two records in there seems odd.

    First, both albums have a slight warp and this seems to be the norm with new pressings. Luckily I have a great turntable and it doesn't effect playback at all. The quality of the vinyl and sound though is stellar. Very quiet and excellent mastering. This is far superior to the orginal release in all ways. Sonically and songs! And is truly a revelation on what could and should have been!

    The original album the way Paul McCartney wanted to release it back in 1973.
    I think this is a much stronger album released as a 2lp set than the commercial release was.

    Red Rose Speedway Reconstructed traz faixas diferenciadas em relação ao álbum original, “ night out” Contry Dreamer”,” Seaside Woman”, I lie Around”The Mess” Best friend live”, Mamas Litle girl, “ I would Only símile” e Tragedy”. Se compararmos com a edição de McCartney Archiive Collection muito mais atrativa por trazer os compactos lados a e b da época e ainda músicas inéditas, capa e encartes originais e preços equivalentes com produção impecável. Então ficamos assim, se você é um McCartney, Beatlemaníaco apaixonado, como eu, fique com todos. Se você precisar fazer escolhas opte pelo “Archive”, Se você já tem o material de “Archive” opte pelo “Reconstrucd”. A qualidade do som em todos eles são excelentes, não são gravações caseiras, são com banda, feitas em estúdio. Desfrute

    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential version of Red Rose Speedway
    Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2019
    I have to admit to being a huge McCartney fan and buy most of what he puts out. When I bought this it was because I thought it was interesting but not essential. It's now become my essential version of RRS. Not sure how in would have been received in 73 so the single album was likely the right way to go. Seaside Woman as an example was about 4 to 5 years ahead of its time.
    I Really recommend if your a fan of Paul McCartney pick up the original conceived double album version. It puts some of the b-sides into better context this improving the enjoyment of tracks like I Lie Around. From the first listen it put a smile on my face.
