Songs Mixed on 27th February 1976
Three tracks were mixed in stereo during this session:
- Beware My Love
- Wino Junko
- Silly Love Songs
The mixing sessions broadly followed the album's eventual running order, refining balance, vocal placement, and instrumental dynamics ahead of release.
Historical Context
By late February 1976:
- The album was nearing completion ahead of its March 1976 release.
- Wings were preparing for the ambitious Wings Over The World tour.
- "Silly Love Songs" would soon become one of McCartney's biggest post-Beatles hits, reaching No. 1 in the US.
The Wings At The Speed Of Sound sessions are notable for featuring lead vocals from multiple band members — a deliberate shift from the more McCartney-centric structure of earlier albums.
