Two more Wings albums have been added to the ongoing reissue series of classic Paul McCartney albums, and one of them includes a major unreleased treat — a Wings recording featuring Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
The Wings at the Speed of Sound reissue track list reveals there’s a “John Bonham Version” of “Beware My Love.” The Bonham-less version included on Speed of Sound is a moody, hard-charging album highlight and an underappreciated gem in McCartney’s catalog, so to hear the late drum legend working on this particular song is pretty damn enticing.

Keep in mind this isn’t the only John Bonham/Paul McCartney crossover. The Zeppelin drummer played on two tracks from Wings’ final album, 1979’s Back to the Egg. Come Sept. 23, we’ll finally be able to hear what this unreleased third Bonham collaboration sounds like.
Wings’ 1975 record Venus and Mars is getting the reissue treatment in the Paul McCartney Archives Collection as well. Both albums will be available in two-disc standard editions and three-disc (two CD, one DVD) deluxe editions. The reissues feature demo versions, previously unreleased tracks, and were overseen by the man himself. Previous entries in the series are Band on the Run, McCartney, McCartney II, RAM and Wings over America.
These two new reissues drop Sept. 23. Check out the track lists and reissue trailers below.
