Perspective
The boxed set was released on 7 November 2025 by Capitol Records and UME in 3LP, 1LP, 2CD and single CD formats, including an expanded 32-page booklet featuring photographs, artwork, paintings, trivia, and information about the band. The artwork for Wings was overseen alongside Paul by Aubrey 'Po' Powell of Hipgnosis – the design studio that worked with Paul for seven Wings albums, including Band on the Run (1973), Venus and Mars (1975), Wings over America (1976), and Wings Greatest (1978). The expanded booklet includes extensive album-by-album notes on the artwork written by Po, with additional editorial by Pete Paphides, and features original artwork by Humphrey Ocean – who first worked with Wings on some of the artwork for Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976) before being invited by Paul and Linda on tour in 1976 as their artist in residence – rendering behind-the-scenes sketches of the band. It is available in 5.1, Dolby Atmos and standard stereo.[7]
The Blu-ray version of Wings is the first time Wings songs are available on a physical format in Dolby Atmos.
Wings member, Larence Juber (1978-1981)isn't included on the cover art of the new release but co-band member Steve Hollie (1978-1981) is featured on the cover art.

Critical reception
AllMusic critic Tim Sendra said of the set "There have been other Wings collections and they were fine; this double-disc does the best job of capturing all aspects of the band's career. Anyone wanting to study pop music of the era should make this one of their first stops."[8] Classic Rock critic Fraser Lewry said of the one-disc version that it is "heaven-sent hitsville."[9]
