The lack of hi-fidelity audio on the DVD is made in part by the inclusion of audio-only stereo versions of some (but not all) of the tracks from the DVD on the bonus CD.
Those hoping for Dolby 5.1 or DTS will also be disappointed. It would have been more entertaining if it didn’t look like a dodgy fourth generation VHS tape. Much bootlegged but never officially aired. What is significant about this video is that it was never broadcast. The bonus material centres mainly around ‘One Hand Clapping’ a filmed-for-TV special that showed Wings behind the scenes rehearsing many of the tracks from Band on the Run. It’s a solid if not spectactular offering.
What most fans want to know is what is on offer that’s new to persuade us to open our wallets and buy this album again? The 2CD+DVD seems to offer the best value for money and is likely to be the edition that most people opt for. You can’t blame them for starting with Paul’s most acclaimed (and best selling) post-Beatles album in order maximise media impact, but it should be pointed out the Band on the Run was the last album for which Paul gave the ‘special edition’ treatment back in 1999 (for what was then the 25th Anniversary) and indeed, this is the fourth outing on CD alone.īand on the run will be released as a 1CD edition, a 2CD+DVD edition, double vinyl, and a Super Deluxe Edition which consists of 3CD+DVD housed in a luxury linen-bound hardback book.

With the album about to celebrate its 36th birthday, Concord/Hear music are re-releasing Band on the Run to kick-start a long reissue campaign – ‘The Paul McCartney Archive Collection’. A Grammy in early 1975 (“Best Pop Vocal Performance By a Duo, Group or Chorus”) would seal Paul’s commercial and critical revivial.

Band on the Run was full of finely crafted, well-produced songs which were light on whimsy while having a strong commercial pop-rock sound which helped to propel singles Jet and Band on the Run to the higher reaches of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Paul had given his public what they wanted. The resulting album, released in December 1973, would go on to dominate the airways for most of the next year. He played most of the instruments – including drums – himself, ably assisted by Denny.

With only two professional musicians in the band, Paul’s skills as a multi-instrumentalist were crucial. This was going to be a tricky one.ĭespite a fainting episode, a mugging and a recording studio which was still being built, Paul managed to record most of Band on the Run in Lagos, with overdubs completed on return to the UK.
When Henry McCullough and and Denny Seiwell bailed out of the band only days before they were due to leave, Wings were reduced to three members, Paul, Linda and Denny Laine. With flights booked to Lagos, Paul would seek inspiration away from home. So by the summer of 1973 Paul could have be forgiven for thinking he had a point to prove. The critics were also waiting – and wondering – if Paul would ever wow them again. Follow-ups RAM, Wings Wild Life, and Red Rose Speedway failed to capture the public’s imagination despite some solid hits. This ensured it sold well, but Fab-fans who had enjoyed the aural sophistication of Abbey Road – released only 6 months earlier – were left somewhat bemused by Paul’s sketchy mix of instrumentals and quaint low key acoustic ditties. McCartney, his first solo album had actually preceded The Beatle’s Let It Be. It was re-released in March 1999 to celebrate the 25th anniversary, and again in 2010, as the first release in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, featuring the remastered album, with rare bonus audio and video content, all in new packaging.The cover stars gather in Osterley Park 1973īy 1973 Paul McCartney had already released four post-Beatle albums. Its success has endured and in 2000 the album was included in Q magazine's list of Greatest British Albums Ever, as well as Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album topped the US chart three separate times in the UK, it was the biggest selling studio album of 1974 and spent a miraculous 124 weeks on the chart. Despite the setbacks, Paul, Linda and Denny Laine persevered and Band on the Run – complete with its famous celebrity-packed cover art – proved a triumph. Paul’s fifth album since the break up of The Beatles, Band on the Run was made under difficult circumstances: band members Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough left before recordings began in Lagos, Nigeria – which itself proved a challenging environment to work in.
