From Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976). Wings at the Speed of Sound is the fifth studio album by the British–American rock band Wings, released on 25 March 1976. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Paul McCartney & Wings' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
