About this album
Band On The Run is Wings’ breakthrough album and the release that established Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles career on its own terms. Issued in 1973, it blends polished pop rock with taut songwriting, shifting easily from the title track and Jet to the wistful Bluebird and the expansive closing suite. Recorded in Lagos under difficult circumstances, the album’s hard-won energy gives it extra bite and momentum. Its commercial success and critical reputation turned Wings into a major force of the 1970s, and Band On The Run remains one of McCartney’s most celebrated and enduring solo-era statements.
