Venus and Mars

By September, Wings kicked off what would be their year-long Wings Over the World tour in the UK, with Australia, the US and Canada penciled in for the coming months; Venus and Mars material would be heavily featured.

Wings at the Speed of Sound

This was followed in July with "Let 'Em In", which also scaled the singles charts.
