Pre-orders up for Wings at the Speed of Sound, Venus and Mars reissues

Good news for U.S. fans, you no longer have to pay $71.99 for an import copy of Paul McCartney's upcoming reissues.

Amazon is now listing the albums at a far more reasonable $19.98 for the double-CD versions. The two-LP sets on vinyl are $34.98 and include a digital download card. And the deluxe box sets, which include books and DVDs, are $79.98. All will be released Sept. 23.

Here's a breakdown of the various formats:

Standard Edition: Starting with a 2-disc (2 CD) Standard Edition, the first CD will feature the original remastered album and the second CD will include bonus audio made up of material including demos and unreleased tracks.

Deluxe Edition: The 3-disc (2CD, 1DVD) Deluxe Edition will be housed in a hardback book featuring unpublished photographs, new interviews with Paul, material from Paul’s archives and expanded track-by-track information. The deluxe version bonus DVD will be comprised of filmed material from around the time of each release, some of which has never been seen before.

Vinyl: The albums will also be available on special gatefold vinyl editions (vinyl editions include a download card).

Digital: Digitally Venus and Mars and At The Speed Of Sound will be made available as both standard and deluxe versions – including Mastered for iTunes and Hi-Res formats.
