Když Tim Bergling 20. dubna 2018 zemřel, hudba pro nové album byla z devadesáti procent hotová. Tim za sebou zanechal bohatou sbírku téměř dokončených skladeb, poznámky, emailové konverzace a textové zprávy týkající se vytvářené muziky. Skladatelé, se kterými Tim tehdy spolupracoval, se se svolením rodiny, která nechtěla Timovu hudbu nechávat zamčenou v šuplíku, rozhodli v nahrávání pokračovat. „Po tom všem, dotahovat skladby do konce... Cítím se paralyzovaný, i když o tom jenom hovořím. Ale hlavním úkolem dokončování skladeb bylo co nejpřesněji naplnit Timovu vizi,” přibližuje nahrávání Kristoffer Fogelmark.
Prostřednictvím programu Fruity Loops byli Kristoffer s Albinem Nedlerem schopni najít a zachovat Timovi přesné úhozy kláves. „Měl úplně jiný styl hraní,” objasňuje Nedler. „Jeho prsty se občas dotkly neobvyklého tónu, což jeho skladbám dodávalo unikátní zvuk. Timovi otisky se doslova nachází napříč celou deskou.”

Introducing Kenny Burrell put the jazz world on notice in 1956 that an extraordinary new guitarist was on the scene who combined bebop and the blues with smoky aplomb. Burrell is accompanied on this stellar set of original and standard compositions by Tommy Flanagan on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, bebop icon Kenny Clarke on drums along with the percussion sensation from Cuba, Candido. This legendary session launched the career of one of the giants of modern jazz guitar who would go on to record his magnum opus Midnight Blue for Blue Note in 1963. Blue Note Records' Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and vinyl is manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).

Rare #1-charting triple live album, Wings Over America is a document of one the most sophisticated and dazzling rock shows of the 1970s or any decade. Paul and the band would eventually perform to more than 600,000 people at 31 shows in the US and Canada, ending with three historic nights at The Forum in Los Angeles. It's no exaggeration to say that the excitement that greeted Paul McCartney & Wings (Linda McCartney, Joe English, Denny Laine and Jimmy McCulloch) in the spring of 1976 as they embarked on what would become their one and only North American tour was overwhelming. Having released four consecutive chart topping albums - Red Rose Speedway, Band On The Run, Venus And Mars and At The Speed Of Sound - not to mention 1973's Academy Award-winning James Bond theme „Live and Let Die” - Wings' career was in full flight... and as Paul's first U.S. tour since The Beatles, the sheer joy of both the band and its fans were off the charts throughout the 90 hours of recordings distilled into this triple album. Wings Over America was last reissued in 2013 as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection series winning the Grammy Award for Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.

Recorded during the U.S. and Australian swings of the tour in support of 1993's Off The Ground, Paul Is Live is Paul's fifth live album. Originally released that same year, the album is famous for the multiple meanings and clues embedded in its title and cover art, all of which play on the „Paul Is Dead” conspiracy/hoax. In addition to a wealth of Wings and Beatles classics, covers of Roy Brown's „Good Rockin' Tonight” and Leiber and Stoller's „Kansas City” and more, Paul Is Live also offers a peek behind the curtain: Three songs improvised on the spot and exclusive to the album, all recorded during rehearsals in various locations over the course of the tour.
Paul Is Live has been newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios.

The live-in-studio Choba B CCCP (Russian for „Back In The USSR”) was released in the Soviet Union in 1988, making Paul the first Western artist to issue an album exclusively for that market. In a conscious decision to get back to his roots, Paul spontaneously spent two days covering his favorite hits from the 1950s. The sessions produced 22 songs in total (and one of the outtakes being a version of The Beatles' „I Saw Her Standing There”). Choba B CCCP was a deeply personal album and a way to acknowledge fans who had supported him and The Beatles since the start. „When I was very young I asked my dad if people wanted peace,” Paul explained at the time. „He said to me, 'Yes, people everywhere want peace - it's usually politicians that cause trouble.' It always seemed to me that the way The Beatles' music was admired in the USSR tended to prove his point, that people the world over have a great deal in common. In releasing this record exclusively in the Soviet Union, I extend the hand of peace and friendship to the people of Russia.” Choba B CCCP was released in the rest of the world following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
