[edit] Overdubbing?
There are four competing claims in this article's history regarding how much overdubbing was done for this album:
- from User:Hiphats - The album's major flaw is that most of the album was re-dubbed and re-recorded in a studio, so it became less of a live album than what its title implied.
- from User:68.197.107.71 - Portions of some of the live tracks were re-dubbed and re-recorded in a studio, so it became less of a live album than what its title implied; the exact extent to which this occurred is subject to disagreement.
- from User:BGC - [...] with the usual studio doctoring to eliminate and/or improve upon glitches in the performances.
- from User:68.184.219.208 - Contrary to popular belief, the album contained only minimal studio doctoring to sweeten vocals and guitar work on just a handful of tracks. The album presented the music "warts and all," and was a surprisingly honest and accurate representation of Wings' 1976 tour of America ... Unlike the live album, the music contained in the [Rockshow] film was subjected to a copious amount of overdubbing. ... [which] perhaps led to to the false rumors of massive overdubbing for the Wings Over America album.
Alas, there were/are no cites given for any of these statements! Nor could I find anything conclusive in a web search. Therefore, I'm taking them all out. Hopefully someone can shed some more verified light upon this. Wasted Time R 11:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
