When Paul McCartney and his Wings launched their \*Band on the run \*album, the first single in Holland was **Mrs. Vandebilt**. It made the top10 and is one of my favourite Wings songs. To my surprise, it did not make it to the Greatest Hits compilation some years ago. More annoyingly the _double_ CD Wingspan also omits this song, although it incorporates a lot of rather unfamiliar album tracks. I don’t get it. Is there any reason for this omission? (Google did not help me on this either)
