180g Double LP Remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London!
Originally released in 1973, Band On the Run is McCartney's fifth album following the break-up of the Beatles, his third with The Wings. It became the most successful recording for The Wings and remains the most celebrated of McCartney's post-Beatles albums.
This Grammy Award winning album features three Top 10 hits and reached #1 Album on the Billboard Top Album Chart. Band On The Run is the first release in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection.
"Paul McCartney and Wings trekked to EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, for seven stressful weeks to make Band, regarded by many as McCartney's finest post-Beatles hour. Opening strongly with the one-two punch of "Band on the Run" and "Jet" (named after Paul's dog), it proved that McCartney still knew how to rock." - www.rollingstone.com
