Paul McCartney & Wings ’Band on the Run’ (Lyric Video)
Directed and produced by visual artist Ben Ib.
April 2014 marks the ’Band on the Run’ U.S. single’s anniversary, released as a 7“ on 8th April, 1974 (28th June 1974 in the UK, fact fans!).
The ’Band on the Run’ album was recorded in EMI Studios, Lagos and AIR Studios, London between August and October of 1973. Wings were without a drummer at the time so Paul stepped in and recorded all the drum tracks. It was during the Lagos sessions that Paul and Linda were mugged losing their money, camera and the original album demos to the thieves!
This unfortunate event didn’t stop ’Band on the Run’ from becoming Wings’ most successful album. It was the top selling album in the UK in 1974 and reached no.1 in the US on 3 separate occasions. It has gone on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide.
The ’band on the run’ on the iconic front cover features broadcasters Michael Parkinson and Clement Freud
