It's a 500-page book filled with photos and memories of a time most don't really know much about - the years after The Beatles. Now Paul McCartney is readying a huge tome, complete with some never seen pics, of the genesis and life of Wings, the band that followed the Fab Four. 

There are a lot of revelations promised in the book, but one speaks volumes - McCartney asked his then wife Linda to join only because he didn't want to leave her alone while they toured the world. So she became the keyboard player. Although not necessarily the best keyboard player. 

“We were terrible. We knew Linda couldn’t play, but she learned, and looking back on it, I’m really glad we did it … I could have just formed a supergroup, and rung up Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page and John Bonham."

As good as Wings turned out to be, imagine that line-up! 

If you want to read this new bio, "Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run," you'll have a bit of a wait. It won't be out until November.
