    Paul McCartney's most successful solo album is now 50 years old. To celebrate that and the release of a forthcoming 50th anniversary issue of 'Band On The Run', we tell the story of this album track-by-track by digging deep into its creation and how it became a worldwide chart success. We look at the best sounding vinyl pressings and give some love to the crazy but fun format, the 8-track cartridge. We tell you all about the forthcoming newly remaster and its newly discovered 'Underdubbed' mixes.
    N.B. This video has been re-edited after publishing due to copyrighted content claims.
    RIP Denny.

    1973 was McCartney's most Beatlesque year. Not only Band on the Run, But Live and Let Die. And My Love was a summertime hit as well.

    I was 15 years old when this came out. It was the first solo Beatles album and to this day is among my favorites. It didn't hurt that three years later I had a girlfriend who adored Band on the Run but didn't have a copy so we would listen to mine continuously.

      The first solo Beatles album, excepting if you don;t count The 1969 Plastic Ono Band Live in Toronto with John Lennon leading the band. Otherwise it was Paul's first solo album called "McCartney" released around April 1970.

      For my money, "Ram" is great on Side One, but seems to fizzle out on Side Two. But even one side of Sir Paul provides plenty of enjoyment.

      RAM is my all time favourite Macca album - I wish he’d made more of its 50th anniversary a couple of years ago - for many Macca fans it’s regarded as his best album. BOTR is much, much more commercial, and was deservedly highly praised by press and fans alike. It was certainly a big part of the soundtrack to my childhood. But, maybe I’ve heard it too much - I don’t play BOTR much these days, preferring Red Rose Speedway, or RAM from that era.

    As much of a Beatles fanatic as I am, and indeed was from a very early age, I didn't collect many of the solo records. That said, Band On the Run was one of the exceptions and a huge favorite of mine back in the 70s. Thanks so much, Andrew, for providing your usual amazing job of diving in deep and bringing the history to life! I'm really looking forward to the 2024 reissue!

    This is a beautiful example of how well Paul, Linda and Denny all worked together. It's a wonderful work that couldn't be done now, as both of Paul's "wings" have left us. It's amazing the criticism of this record when it came out. My brother, and all of his "Beatle buddies" just consumed this album when it came out. By 1974, BAND ON THE RUN was considered a classic.

    I cannot get over the fact that Denny Laine died on the very day of the 50th Anniversary. I had just re-listened to the entire album, and texted a friend saying how much I had loved "No Words" in particular in that sitting, when that same friend texted me back with the news. Band On the Run is such a brilliant, fantastic album. The first Wings album I owned was London Town, which I realized later has something like 4 or 5 Denny Laine compositions or co-compositions. I love the album and have been sorely disappointed that it and Back To the Egg never got the remaster treatment that much of the rest of Paul's solo catalog got. On another note, in some ways, we can "thank" Jann Wenner for the lukewarm reception to Ram. The album reviewer for Rolling Stone wrote a glowing review (because it's great) and that bum Wenner made him re-write it.

    The song "Band on the Run" was one of the first Paul songs i ever heard as a kid as my dad enjoyed it. Since then i have become a massive fan of Wings' whole discography. McCartney Legacy Volume 1 is an exceptional book on this era of Paul for anyone who's interested in learning more about 1970-1973 solo McCartney
    The tribute to Denny was quite beautiful and i'm still processing his passing days later. Had the fortunate opportunity to see him in concert this past February and he was such a character during it. He played a beautiful acoustic rendition of Mull of Kintyre, truly a wonderful memory that i will cherish forever. I was listening to BOTR to celebrate 50 years of the album and Picasso's Last Words were playing when news of his passing were reported by his wife on Instagram.

    I would listen to my AM clock radio in Ohio to catch "Band on the Run" being played on the Top 10 stations. I still remember getting chills hearing "Helen Wheels" and trying to locate the 45 single; it reminds me of John Lennon talking about hearing his first Elvis record. My parents let me buy two singles at the end of my seventh grade year (1974) for having good grades: "The Locomotion" by Grand Funk (still a great version) and "Band on the Run". I still have the 45s. The summer of 1974 my brother brought home a copy of "Band on the Run" album and I got a stereo portable record player by cleaning out a burned-out apartment next door (I also bought a copy of "1962-1966" from that job). Hearing those records in true stereo was such a revelation. Up until that time, I didn't know what stereo separation was in radio and record players. I still have that copy of BOTR, along with one I bought in Germany in 1984 (and still sounds fantastic) and of course, the CD re-releases. It was Paul's best of the 1970s. "Tug of War", and "Flaming Pie" were his best subsequent releases, but nothing tops "Band on the Run".

    First, prayers for Denny Laine and his family and thanks for your tribute.
    Second, and in answer to your question Andrew, I offer an emphatic YES! to more solo Beatles content.
    Third, thanks again for a fantastic video.
    Now for my recollection of the first time I heard the song, "Band on the Run." While George Harrison's "Thirty Three & 1/3" was my entry into purchasing Fab material (1977), I remember first hearing "Band on the Run" on the radio in 1973. I was 8 years old, and had just begun listening to my parent's 1960s era console stereo.
    For my taste, "Band on the Run" was the closest Paul McCartney came to recreating his success with The Beatles. It is a masterpiece and is my favorite solo McCartney, album. Well... solo as in post Beatle of course. It stands up to what many critics consider the best solo effort, Harrison's "All Things Must Pass."
    Isn't it interesting that McCartney finally got to travel to record an album? Recall that was part of the vision for the 'Get Back' sessions.
    The parallels to Sgt. Pepper are many as you mention with the "Band on the Run" reprise. No song on the album sounds like any other, another Sgt. Pepper / Beatles trademark. You can tell McCartney had overcome his post-breakup depression.
    I consider, "Bluebird" an answer song to "Blackbird," but likely in name only with less social content.

    When I was 7 in 1973, I was already a bit of a Beatles fan, and BOTR quickly became a favorite album. (initially via 8-track, the US version of which didn’t jumble the track sequence but did split Bluebird in two). Around this time, I was interested in learning how to play the drums (because what hyperactive 7-year-old didn’t want to play the drums?) only for my mother to point at this album as well as another fave from that time period, Todd Rundgren’s “Something/Anything”, and say, “You should learn to play multiple instruments, because that’s what Paul McCartney and Todd Rundgren do on their albums.”
    Needless to say, I did take her advice and already have several albums where I played all the tracks to my credit. Thanks, Mom.

      Wow 50 yrs Flys by . I remember hearing JET on Radio and I really liked it. I bought the Album and today looking back that record is great . Still is Paul's Best Record. Not my favorite though. RAM to me just does it . Band on the RUN has it All.
      It's a Masterpiece . It's Commercial as well as Catchy.
      It Rocks as well. John Lennon called it a great McCartney record. Paul also Drums pretty decent on Record. Paul was backed into a Corner and it took guts to move forward. Paul does his best work when odds are against him . I don't have alot of McCartney but the ones I have are keepers. I rank Band on the RUN in Top 10 of Beatles Solo.
      I'm going to purchase the Box set.

    In 1974 I was only 15 years old and had limited income from a paper route. I liked the song "Band On The Run" enough to buy the single. I liked "Jet" and thought "Helen Wheels" was okay, but when I heard "Let Me Roll It" on a local AOR station, I had to have it and bought the album immediately. Love the album, and it is by far my favorite McCartney release.

      You are correct, but Helen Wheels was not part of the original issue British release.
      It was included on the US release as track 3 on side 2.
      Helen Wheels was an American hit single for some reason but I agree with you it does not belong on the album.
      Finally I have a couple of Mc Cartney best of cd albums...they are full of hits but they just don't work when taken out of context. He made one great album and Band on the Run is it. (I even shelled out for Venus and Mars...what a sad person I am, ha!).@@edwinsam7604

    This is such a great album with Beatles level material. Growing up I always knew this was Paul’s biggest post Beatles album and the adversity he went through in Lagos but didn’t realize the album was somewhat of a slow burner chart wise in the U.S. and Paul had to be convinced to not only add Helen Wheels but issue both Jet and Band on the Run as singles. I would love to hear the demos he did with Seiwell and McCullough. RIP Linda and Denny Laine. Thanks for another wonderful video Andrew!

      Thankfully, we are all entitled to our own opinions. I know in the past few years, it’s become fashionable for Ram, in particular, to be the apple of some fans’ eyes. To each his own. BOTR for me, by a large margin over his first two. it had the hits, it rose to #1 on 3 separate occasions, and it’s his biggest seller, at least in the States. Does that make it better? No, but it does come across as a Paul reaching his full potential after a few years of post-breakup struggles. I love the 4 albums he did before, they’re each beautiful in their own way, but this was his monster. I think your band leaving you at the last minute and ending up with the 3 main members traveling to Lagos and all the trials and tribulations that followed is very inspirational, but that’s me. Again, enjoy what you want.

    Band On The Run of course is a classic and deserving of its status although I didn't hear it until the early 1980s when I started picking up on the solo albums. I got Venus & Mars first and always loved the feel of that album as it sounded huge in comparison with loads more reverb! A couple of years ago I met engineer Alan O'Duffy (who worked on V&M) doing a presentation on his recording career and he was full of praise for Paul & Linda, saying Linda was the nicest, most down to earth person you could wish to meet. More videos about the solo albums would be great (I'm sure you won't run out of Beatles material!)

    Thank so much Andrew. Great tribute to Denny Laine there. First, please do more features on solo releases as there's so many good ones. Secondly, for Band On The Run, another great sounding version is the 1993 gold CD issued by DCC Compact Classics. This version is the only one that fixes the volume drop in the title song where Paul sings the line "well the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun." On the DCC disc the volume matches up with the intro and gives the song a bit more power.

    Thanks Andrew firstly for your tribute to Denny Laine.
    This is just an amazing album from start to finish and the cover,inner and poster are just perfection!
    I found a copy of ‘mrs Vanderbilt’ in a record shop in Barcelona,Spain several years ago and I also had an import copy of the album (the record label has a groove in the rim which identifies it).
    I’m looking forward to the 50th anniversary release!!

    BND ON THE RUN was one of the first albums I bought with my own pocket money. Way before I could buy any Beatles album. My copy, bought in Canada, did not include Helen Wheels. I later bought an American copy of the album because I lost my Canadian copy when I lended it to a « friend » and never got it back :-) McCartney at his best, with Linda and Denny. I get goosebumps every time I hear the orchestral part of BOTR followed by the guitars… Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash. Oh did we had fun listening to it. I still do. Looking forward to February!

    Chaos and creation in my opinion is one of Paul’s best because he had a producer who actually challenged him, Paul needs that, and there are a lot of great songs on that album. Very underrated.

    I think this is the point where Paul eclipsed John. I Saw Wings Live at the Hammersmith Odeon in April 1973 and when this album came out later in the year it seemed to fulfill Paul's idea to get the Beatles rolling again. Play small venues, sharpen their act then graduate to larger venues. As Alan Partridge said "Wings were the band the Beatles could have been"

      I feel Lennons best days were behind him after Imagine. Mind games and walls and bridges were ok but that’s about it, McCartney overtook Lennon in about 65/66. It’s only my opinion of course!

  • @kirahastings9900
    @kirahastings9900 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It's hard to believe the album is 50 years old! I remember listening to it while planning my first (and only) trip to Europe. In my opinion, this is one of Paul's best albums, along with McCartney and Run Devil Run. Thanks again for another informative video.

    That Moog note on Jet! - Goes to show that every day’s a school day! Let Me Roll It is a song I used to play with my own band, and the guitar riff was borrowed by John (who it was always thought that the song was a tribute to in musical style) for the Beef Jerky instrumental on his Walls and Bridges album. Bluebird is sublime. Mrs Vanderbilt is great fun - I always liked it. Probably my favourite track on BOTR though is Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five - I’m so glad that Macca started playing it live later on, and another song I played many times myself with my old band. Oddly I’ve never liked Helen Wheels - I know the US LPs featured it, but to me it feels very much like a B side. I’m relieved it didn’t make the UK pressings - I would have had to skip the track if it had been on my LP copy! Talking of which, I bought my vinyl copy from Harrods, while on a school trip in 1987! Lovely tribute to Denny Laine - I don’t think BOTR would have happened without him. Denny Laine, and Linda’s contributions to Paul’s music demonstrated that Wings was, at the very least, a trio, not a backing band!

    Another great presentation Andrew. I was really into The Beatles and all the solo music by 1973, I was 15 that December. Exciting times for fans because they were all very productive in that early 70’s period.

    Thanks - a great video of my favorite McCartney album.
    In the summer of 1974 (I was 15 years old), I brought the album on a self recorded compact cassette (+ a cassette player) to a 2 week scout Summer camp (in Norway). We played it all the time, and Band On The Run has - more than any other album - become the sound track to that Summer and a couple of important years in my youth.

    Superb stuff, Andrew. BOTR is a fabulous record. Really enjoyed the isolated moog on Jet! I’ve ordered the 50th double vinyl set. Can’t wait. Denny was integral to the wings sound, and sang great harmonies with Linda and Paul. Nice tribute. More solo stuff would be great.

    Great video and thank you very much Andrew, especially for some new breadcrumbs of information.
    This is my favourite McCartney solo album by a mile, since my days in a UK 'public' school when it was released. I remember my general, vague thoughts then that I could be having a lot more 'fun' with my school friends as a "...band on the run"(?!)
    Fortunately, I bought the Nimbus Super Cut pressing as a big splurge 10 years ago on eBay. Yes, before collecting 'audiophile' LP's grew to its popularity today. It's Near Mint too and really does sound like the band is just right in front of you - absolutely incredible and amazing!!! Very highly recommended to anyone who wants the ultimate sonic experience...as are the other Nimbus rock titles. 😊
